WOMEN In POLITICS.

One thing scertain--apoa,eeat af'e IA. Prifn-
rose DANES and Liberal Leagues across the

pray for the success of their candidates.
Lady Henry Somerset has been addressing
audiencies of from five to ten thousand for
Home Rule and Direct Veto all these June
DAYS Women's Republican Clubs and
Frances Cleveland Clubs are becoming the
order of the day, while iii the Prohibition
and the Peoples party, women are dele
gates, officers and leaders. Having arrived
upon the scene, what shall We do9 Just
what we have solong done in home, church
and school-be an influence for gentle
strength, intelligent patience and wise, he

larger hope. She must possess her soul in
auietness, she must avoid personalities
and push principles to the front. Wehave
been asked, since the Convention, to give
our opinion of certain contradictions and
controversies that came up at Cincinnati;
also to reply to personal articles that have
appeared in the prohibition press But we
have laid down one rule, and never once
deviated from it in all our public life, viz. :
Not to attack or criticise women who are
engaged in public work, nor to reply, save
in general terms, to any criticism Or attack
from them. IF there is one spectacle more
distasteful than another, il is for one Wo-
man to act as surgeon in the dissection of
another 1t is bad enough in men, but we
have become Injured to their pugiiistic
methods; it is totally unworthy of US, Men
have been the fighters OF the world, and it
is no wonder that their ways are transferred
to what ought to be and some day will be

decisive arena of human action, to bless
and not to blight; to bring in nlotherly

women as sehooI Oaicers.

The Legislature at its reeentsession pass
ed an act to carry into effect article 232 OF
the constitution which reads as follows:
i Women over twenty-one years of age
shall be eligible to any office of control or
management under the school laws of the
State. gs5.sfe
This article has hitherto been dead let
ter but the Legislature has yitalized it, and
women will now become a potent force in
the management of the schools.
And this is as it should be. Woman's
work in the educational world has entitled
her to the highest position, and to full Off
cial recognition by the State. Indeed the
State has been the loser by the delay IN
giving full recognition to this article ofour
constitution. There are SO many positions
in which the advice and counsel OF woman
would be Invaluable i'll the conduct OF the
schools that the public have lost much by
her absence from official POSITION
And now that we have the law, let it not
be dead letter. bullet it be invoked speed
lily and often to infuse into the school man
agement this new and valuable element
1t will help the schools, it will give aaditi-
onal impetus to the cause, of education.
