Noteworthy Evest In the Progress q
Women Across the water.
A woman, Mime. Wiggishon. has just
been elected to the Bureau Of the
School Fund in Paris. 1t is the FIRST
time that woman has been chosen to
nll such . position
In tho eighteenth ward Of Paris, .
poor quarter and thickly pcopled. there
are kitchens In connection with the
schools, where the poor children arc
supplied with food. This lunch depart
ment has been admirably conducted by
.. committee of ladies. with Mime.

ager. Last year these ladies wanted to
nominate their secretary, who had
given distinguished proofs Of her ex-
ecutive ability. to place on the Bureau
| of the School Fund. This is an import

With as much delicacy as possible. the
ladies' were given 70 un0orSt4no tnac
while they had shown great devotion to
the welfare Of the schools, and while
their services were fully appreciated. IL
would be an nnheard-of thing for .
woman to take her seat side by side with
men - > regular member Of the hoard.
Their services would be accepted with
gratitude, their advice would bc listened
to with respect: but admit them to the
board? never! 1t was - question Of

This year Nine. Wiggishon was again
. candidate. and this time, after . lively
contest and An obstinate opposition, she
was elected. Tho few ladies OF tho
| eighteenth ward who had votes support
ed her unanimously, and alargc number
Of men ranged themselves on the same
side. It is regarded as great triumph
for the women. The progressive party
arc happy, while the conservatives are
looking for tho foundations Of society to
give way. La Cheyenne expresses the
hope that more women will be elected
70 the board in coming years, and that
other wards will follow the example oi
