The State and the S.aunton INDICATOR
were the first papers in Virginia to urge the
appointment of female physician as one of
the regular corps in the insane asylums. The
public is familiar with the result of these eff
forts. The StauntOn asylum has selected a
female doctor whose standing before the Vir-
ginia Board of Medical Examiners was very
high; in fact, much higher than the majority
of the male physicians whose qualifications
were passed upon by the Board We note
with pleasure that the movement is extending
The advocates of the innovation simply base
their plea upon humane grounds, and imply
no censure upon any of the present doctors. A
large number of the inmates there are women.
and, of course, male physician is qualified
to look after their ordinary health, and yet a
woman physician can, besides this, render
them services that they would not accept and
could not get from man. We hope this move,
| which is SO based on all good grounds. will be
Observation-Disclosures State
Since the day the two papers named en-
gagged IN this movement, a marked change
has come over the public mind in regard to
it. The legislature of New Y ork has passed
q law requiring that there shall be woman
physician in every asylum in that State
where there are woman patients. That
must be the law in Virginia, and such a
measure should be introduced at the next
meeting of the legislature. 1t will be in ac-
cord with an overwhelming demand from the
public, and it will be introduced. Without
it the work would hardly be begun. Besides
this, there should be woman on every
Board of Directors of these asylums.
There are imperative reasons that there
should be. We shall look to our metropoii-
tan contemporary to lead this great reform,
for it is at a locality where it can catch the
ear Of the representatives of the people.
There is to be no step backward in this re-
form. Behind it sound the voices of JUS
tice, Humanity, and Decency urging it,
and it is impossible to turn back The
coarse levity of Writings that assailed it
at first has sobeyed before it's masterful
success, and we shall have little more of that
character of opposition-if indeed we have
any of any other kind. There is chivalry
about the manhood of the people that does
not brook levity where women are concern
ed, and least of all, when it seeks to ohstruct
measures for the benefit of women made
helpless by the greatest calamity of life.
