WOmen's EnfrAnchiSement.

Women can vote in Massachusetts, fol
School Trustees, but if they exercise tlic
right they must pay poll tax, as do all
male voters. Judging from the cond;.
ton of things in Boston, the number OF
female voters in the State is very small.
Only about $50 of the Boston wom,n
have paid the required tax. There may
be many more who have some sympathy
with the enfrancEiIement of their sex,
but perhaps they do not regard voict
in the choice of school officials as OF
special Importance. One grievance exists
which the Legislature has refused to re
move, though such action vas favored
by the committee to whichit was referred.

girl should be taught some means Of
supporting herself, should the necessity
arise. Yet there is this drawback to any
costly professional studes-that they, OF
the occupation which is their result,
will be interrupted by marriage. 1t is
absurd to say that when this occurs the
sexes can be on a physical equality.
The mother of one or more young
children owes her first allegiance to
them, and can not, in conscience, give
over her care to others for any long
period of time Hence every woman
