Women ON tn e School Board i'm California.

The bill making women eligible to educa-
tional offices, has passed both houses Of
the Legislature, and only wants the Cover
nor's signature to become q law. As the
Governor will, in all probability, sign the
bill, We congratulate the women OF Cali
fornia on their victory over prejudice, in
tolerance and nonsense. For this grand
step in the march OF reform, they are main
ly indebted to those energetic champions of
the women cause. Mrs. Knox, Mrs. Watkins
and Miss Sallie Hart, of this county, who
have worked for the passage of the bill
with q will and to q purpose well deserving
of success. With the Senator of this county
dead-set against them, and with his ''cold
dust" Giving tissues" and star bucket"
theories to overcome, they nevertheless
succeeded in enlisting in their cause the
brains and influence of both houses. We
rejoice in their success. Truly, the world
moves.
The next queetio is, what will the women
do next! Well, they will present candi-
dates for at least two seats, and perhaps
more, on the board of education of this
city in the approaching charter election.
They will also endeavOr to obtain repre-
sentative in as many boards of school
trustees throughout the county as possible,
wherever women can be induced to accept
the office. More than this, we have our eye
ON two or three women, either one of whom,
wo think, could make an excellent country
school superintendent. We want a smart,
live woman in the office of city school SUI
perintendent. We may not be able to &C.
complish all of these needed and wholesome
innovations at once; but we are going for
them, and expect to bring them about In
time.-San Jose Mercury.
