Inspection

This seems to be an age of inspec-
ton for all kinds Of institutions.
S arting with the inspection Of coal
oil, the legislature has at each session
been flooded with bills to inspect
everything else that exists by au-
thority of law.
The movement to inspect building
and loan associations is one Of the
fads that has had tho attention Of
past legislatures. Experience seems
to be a poor teacher, otherwise it
would now be- well recognized that
inspection rarely inspccts, and that
the office of inspector is usually a
creation for the benefit of the office
holder. A building and loan asso.
citation that has been organized hon
estly for the purpose Of accumulating
funds to be loaned to Its members
for buying property and building
houses, is inspected at least once a
month by the board Of directors.
As an illustration, jefferson CITY has
four building and loan associations,
In each Of these associations the di'
rectors are large stockholders. The
mseresv"""' rre'uaritv Of the cor
poration is their interest. Every

loaned on security that is considere,

School Age,

committee on education to urge an
amendment to the statutes to per.

Under the present law a child must
be six years of ago before it can en-,
ter the public schools. We are some

intelligence and standing should adj.
vocate the amendment referred to.
1t seems to lis that the welfare

age fixed at eight years instead Of
six, as now. There is no good rea
son why n child of even six years of
age should be sent to a school room
and he closely confined, when it
needs the air and sunshine that
youth demands, and to reduce it to
four years, would be placing a
premium upon weddings and broken
down constitutions. If the statute
is ut all amended the school age
should be fixed at eight instead of

Lnnnrtance Of the Sewer.

IIIiDJi ITIIOC " iHC O'"Ii'
There are many reasons of com.
fort and convenience that can be
given why the main sewer, upon
which this city depends for sewering
all that part of the city south Of High
street, should be completed. But
the strongest reason for the compile
ton and establishment of a good
main sewer lies in the sanitary needs
of the city. AT present every citizen
living on the south side of High
street is deprived of sanitary advan-
tages because of the lack of
convenience. 1t is conceded by all
who are Informed on the subject that

built. The fact that at present the
creek is used in n large measure as
a dumping ground for the fifth of
the city, and that sooner or later all
finds its way down there, ought to
be sufficient proof that for the health
and comfort of the town n sewer
ought to be built. All nuisances
that are tolerated must he
tolerated because there is no
system, and the nuisance con.
not be abated. The issuing of SIP.
GOO bonds is therefore a small con-
stdcra,ion for the great convenience
and sanitary advantages that will ac.
crue to the people by the construr.
ton of this sewer, and every citizen
ought to vote for the proposition to
Issue the bonds alone on the ground
of sanitary advantages.

Evening star., 1895-04-27

1t Is almost Incredible that the Supreme
Court of Appeals Of Virginia should have
declared by unanimous vote of It's men,
bers that Belva Lockwood could not prac-
tice before its bar. Many years ago the
question of the admission of women to
legal practice was settled. not only in the
public mind. but by the admission of Mrs.
Lockwood. and. later, Of other women law
states, and Mrs. Lockwood herself has
been admitted to practice by the predeces-
sor of the very court that now seeks to
exclude her from equal privileges with her
male colleagues in the profession. The
United States Supreme Court does not hesi-
tate to listen to legal arguments from
women, and it seems very like retro
gressive step now for the highest court
of SO old state as Virginia to shut its
gates against a woman. Women lawyers
are becoming very numerous IN New York.
and the law. schools have their modern
Portias. If the question were a new one.
II the capacity OF woman to try a case
in an orderly and respectful manner were
in doubt. II there were any. general pro-
test from the bench and bar against the
innovation. there might be some shadow
of excuse for this remarkable action. As
it Is there Is so little reason in the pro-
ceedings that Mrs. Lockwood will proba-
bly, have the sympathy Of lawyers and
citizens alike, throughout the country.
There is some question. too, as to the right
of the court to exclude from practice a
lawyer who has already been admitted
to the bar by the same court, though diff
ferentlJ constituted.
