The latest citadel attacked by wom-
ankind in Scotland is that Of the law.
A woman in Edinburgh has entered
her petition to enter the legal profess
sion and become a law agent. The
question is still an open one, as the
board Of examiners OF law agents felt
they were unequal to the task OF de-
Gliding the case and the appeal has
gone to the court of sessions. The
feeling Of the public is in favor of the
new departure, and there is little doubt
that the petition will be granted. Edin-
burgh formerly was a very strong op-
ponent to women doctors. but what
was once a startling innovation has
become so much matter OF course that
it does not excite any surprise or even
comment.
