Probably the most distinguished
woman outside of royalty ever born
on this day was Rosamond Hill, the
English education reformer who died
only eleven years ago at the age of
II. She was the daughter of promi-
nent English lawyer and prison re-
former, and as girl had every adj
vantage of education, travel and as
ISOLATION with men and women of
prominence. Among the close friends
of her father was the novelist, Thack-
cray.
When Rosamond was 26 she was liv
ing for a time in Bristol, England,
where she heard of and later met the
famous Mary ter-educational
reformer-who had established there
the "St. James Back Ragged School. y
st. James Back was the name of a
where the poor and wretched lived in
comparative isolation from their bet
ter-to-do fellow citizens, and the "St.
James Back Ragged School, was a
school for the ragged children of this
forlorn neighborhood. Rosamond be-
came interested in this work and was
persuaded by Miss Carpenter to give
her time to teaching arithmetic
classes in this school, 1t was Rosa
mond's own idea to teach the ragged
children rather more lessons in house
work and hygiene than in arithmetic,
and the results of her philanthropy
were more than gratifying. This
showed Rosamond what were the pos
sibilities of adequate education, and

predicted that an attorney who has

According to a London astrologer
woman suffrage will make little
progress this month, but before win

practised in England, while in the

Dress reform is indicated, astrol-

the rest of her life the one thing that
was uppermost in her mind was the
question of education. About this time
Miss Hill was also busy acting as
private secretary to her father, and
a few years later she visited prisons
and free schools with him through the
continent of Europe. In 1879 she was
elected to the school board in Lon
don and fought for the office success
fully for six triennial elections-that
Is, she held the position for eighteen
years, during which time her eXpan-
siVe policy and educational methods
made a great impression on education
of the London poor.
All this time Miss Hill wrote and
talked freely on her favorite question
and, combining her experience with
that of her fathers. she was con-
vinced that the greatest factor in the
prevention OF crime lay in education.
About twenty years ago she made
a tour of the United States and Cam
ada and was delighted with our
schools. There was one thing that we
had that they didn't have in London,
and she determined to establish 1t in
her own city. That was the presence
| of pianos in the schools for use in
singing, marching, dancing and drill
| ing.
She took her suggestion back to
| London and was greeted with amaze
ment, but she finally succeeded in
placing pianos in the schools of Lon
! don.
