Woman as an individual was considered from
four pOsitions-as an individual in a world of
her own with the right to use al her own facul-
ties for her own safety and happiness; secondly,
q citizen who must have according to the
fundamental principles OF our government the

governed by men who are their interiors.
Many of the women are blessed with wealth of
their own, and with the practical training, edu-
cation and wealth can accomplish much that
the veterans could not do.
