aa The question in Boston is still
whether the ladies who have been elect
ed members Of the School Board by
large majorities shall be admitted to
their seats. It seems to US that if wo-
men are fit to be teachers, and are act
ually employed as such even to great
er extent than men, it follows that
they are equally fit to sit among body
which has to govern female teachers,
The Boston Post, therefore, very just
" stigmatizes the attempt to exclude
them as fogyism which would banlSh
female teachers from the schools alto
gether, and pertinently asks what Dos
ton schools would be without them
It says that this matter is by no means
question of woman's rights, but a
pure Enecessisy of public education
recognized now even in England.-fa,
