 About one hundred ladies were pres- ent at the meeting of women who hava been made voters for tho coming school election, which was held at tho United church chapel on Temple street, yes- terday afternoon. It was c very lively meeting and the discussion was partici. pated In by many of the ladies present.. The question of the expediency and desirabillty of having one or more lady candidates for election to tho board of education was warmly discussed. Nearly all present were in favor of having one lady member on the board, but quite n number thought that 1t would hardly be possible to elect two lady members, even if they were nomi- mated. The majority thought, how ever, that 1t would be policy to nomi- nate two lady candidates, and nominate ed they were.
 The meeting was called to order at q quarter past three o'clock. Miss Mary Ives was elected chairman and Miss Gertrude Dudley, secretary. Mrs. Henry Rogers arose and stated the purpose of the meeung-the discussion of the advisability of nominating lady candidates for membership on the board of education. Mrs. F. R. Honey then arose and told of the success with which women had met in London in dealing with school matters Women there have membership on the board and they have been greatly commended for the zeal and enthusiasm which they have displayed. Mrs. Durand was the next speaker. She told of the interest women had taken in school matters in New York and the success with which their efforts had met. Another lady also told of the part women have played
 
 then came up whether one lady candi- date should be nominated for election to membership on the board of educa- tion. The meeting decided that one candidate should be nominated. Miss Elizabeth Sheldon then nominated Mrs. Dr. Mary B. Moody. This nomination. was confirmed by the meeting. The discussion was then over the advisa- bility of nominating another lady can. didate. After deciding to nominate another. Miss Elizabeth Sheldon nomi- mated Mrs. Henry G. Newton. This, nomination was also confirmed.
 Mrs. Alexander Troup was one of tho ladies who vigorously opposed namina two lady candidates. Dr. Adelaida Lambert was also opposed to the ac- ton.
 It was decided that the third candiA date on the ticket should be a man. Mrs. Professor Honey then arose and nominated Morris F. Tyler. This nomi- nation was carried.
 The ladies were then at a loss how td proceed with the canvass and Attorney Livingstone W. Cleaveland was sent for to give his advice. When he arrived he said that 1t was customary for rYen tn send out the ticket in envelopes to the voters, and that therefore some m,ney was necessary. So the ladies went down into their pockets and about s1s was raised. while more was piedsed. Several ladies present volunteered tu be present at the polls in different wards and do active electioneering.
 A business committee, consistinar oS Mrs. Henry Rogers, Mrs. Joseph a6el-j don and Miss Fogg was then appointed to attend to all business whkSh wo1Id naturally follow from the meeting. Among the ladies who were present. were the following: Miss Mary Yves, Mrs. Alexander Trorp, Mrs. Luman Cowles, Dr. Adelaide Lambert. Misa Hume, Mrs. A. Miller. Mrs. Lyman b. Judd.
