WoMAS's RiGHTs vs. MEMS WRoNGs-Thc
case of the BRUTAL conduct of the students of
the Philadelphia Medical School toward twen-
ty-ivc young women who came to attend
clinic, when it was opened to them, will do
much toward setting stronger drift to the
questions now before the people in regard to
woman's position and Tomans work So far
from being stronger argument to the position
taken by conservative Harvard, as shadowed
by the inaugural of President Eliot, eyes are
direc. ed by il to the system of Oherlin.
1t APP ears that young man with broken
thigh was brought for treatment into the room
where were be twenty-five young women and
some three hu. dred young men students On
his being undr. sed the young ladies were
the clinic was over :hey were followed with
insult into the street.
But not of the brutality Of this do we want
TO speak hat having be. n freely discussed by
the daily prcss-but of ia question Of right
and wrong in the matter OF female education
which requires attendance at .'uch places as
are commonly termed objcctionaL''.
In GLyplnnl hppouso nf inst sunI mani.
ieSlation- though less brutal-a Female Medi.
cal College has been established, But in the
several schools, how of clinics? Shall only
male patients be allowed at The male school,
and only female at the female school? The
Doctor is for the .ti'mily, and whether it be II
male or female physician, the knowledge is TO
he alike general. If men are to be the conf.
dants of the family for both sexes why (cus-
tom asde is it less indclcate than that II wo-
man should be couiidant for both sexes If
female patient may he brought into the room
for operation before n class Of students, why
should women be jeercd when male patient
is brought into the room for operation?
The time draws on-and is helped on by
just such disgracciul scenes as this in Phla-
dehhm-whcn the difference between adyant-
nges offered TO male or female students viii be
oblitcrated, and possibly We may live to sec
them together in the law, medical, scientific,
and perhaps theological schools, on au equal
footing.
lNFIDEL CONVENTIONAL Il recent conven-
ti0n Of Atheists, held at Phiadclphia, there
were present seventeen persons in all, in an
swer to II call extended for delegates from all
States in the Union to a Mass Convention.
The show numerically was certainly not very
cheering TO the advocates Of this wretched
cause. The remarks Of the secular press on
such convention are looked for with interest.
We take the following from the Cincinnati
Commercial:
"One of them-a special representative of
societies In Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri
frankly admitted that there is not so much n-
terest in the cause out West as there might be
and the President of the convention declared
that the clerical power Is ON the increase and
aluding to the lavish expenditures for the
erection of new churches, thinks 1T is about
time that we liberals should try TO get some of
this material support for our cause So il is
money qscstion, after all. The unpleasant i'm.
preston that mfidelity IL spreading among the
American people, is disprOved by the slender
its manifest lack OF money The mere gen
tccr professors of modern inldellty turn up
their noses at Tom Paine, Notwithstanding all
lis acknowledged services to the Wings of the
Am 'rlcan Revolution in particular, and TO the
cause sf human liberty in general They avow
themselves disciples of such profound philosO-
pliers as RaHt, IIegel, Comie Oy Spencer, and
some of the we. ler minded among them have
lately formed u Carlyle and Emerson Associa-
tion,' which evinccs rather blind admiration
of the savage philosopher of Chelsea and the
mild and mystical sage of Concord, than
clear understanding of the peculiar views Of
either one or the other, Spirilualsm, more
over, with the millions of converts claimed for
Il by Judge Edmonds, has largely diminished
the number of the old'iashioned materiaiists."
CEEEBRATEp,-The Pastor of the Presly-
terian Church of Pontiac, Michigan, has struck
lead of celebrity by some passing structure
on Henry Ward Beeeher and The Isdependeat,
which, on being reported to the latter. drew
sparks from Tilton.
