WASHINGTON, April 3.-The following
official statement has been issued by the
international Council of Women:
The international Council of Women
in session in the city Of Washington
from March 25th to April 1st inclusive,
in closing makes the public announce
ment that fiftv-three different orgsniza-
tons of women have been represented
on its platform by eighty-seyen speakers
and delegates from England, France,
Norway, Denmark, Finland, India,
Canada. and the United States.
All OF these organizations but
four are Of national scope and three are
of national value. Subjects OF education,
philanthropy, temperance, industries,
professions, organization, legal condi-
tons, social purity, political conditions,
and religion have been discussed. While
no restriction has been placed upon the
fullest expression Of most widely diverge
views upon these vital questions Of the
age, it is a cause for rejoicing that the
sessions both private and public have
been absolutely without friction. IL
is the unanimous voice OF the
council that all institutions Of learning
and Of professional instruction, including
schools of theology, law, and medicine,
should, in the interest Of humanity, be
as freely opened to women as to men {;
that opportunities for industrial training
should be as generally and as literally
provided for one sex as another ; and
representativesof organized womanhood
in this council will steadily demand that
in all avocations in which both men and
women engage equal wages shall be paid
for equal work, and finally that IN en-
hghtened society should demand the
only adequate expression of high ciyiliza-
ton, which it is its Office to establish
and maintain, an identical standard Of
personal purity and morality for men
and women.
