Peabody of Cambridge heartily commended
the participation of women in the selection
OF school committees and believed their ser
vice on the school boards 10 he of incalcu-
liable advantage. His most important reason
for this was, that the school should lie re-
garded not rs a separate institution from the
home, but as the homes extension and COM
pletement. The parental spirit should per
wade its discipline, and the home feeling
should he cherished in tine pupils In the
man made schools there is too much Of the
army inevitably and only the active rarlici-
patton of women in the work Of education
can replace this 10y the home-likc system.
