Il was first announced. but a recount OF

zone interesting feature OF the selec.
ton Of the first thirty lmmortals for

Is the fact that no wo-
man Is numbered among the elect.
The announcement Of the successful

much satisfaction as could be expected

FOR such diversity Of opinion: but II Is
noteworthy that IN the nearly three
centuries Of their existence as colonies

There were four women candidates

ington, who received eleven votes;
Charlotte Cushman, who received thlr.
teen; Dorothea Dix, who received thir-
teen, and Mary Lyon. who received
twenty one-the highest OF any Of the
women competitors. Probably no one
viii dispute the judgment which de.
cided that the first three did not meet
the high standard OF personal achieve
ment demanded OF the candidates. but
there can be no question that Mary
Lyon would not have been out OF place

so much for education In this country
as Horace Mann"
