WOMEN POLICE is NO
LONGER AN EXPERIMENT
SAYS LORD ASTOR

"The work of women police is no
longer an experiment" Lord Aston as
serted at the conference called by the
Union of Societies for Equal Citizen
ship, writes a London correspondent
Of the New York World, "but is a
proved success. The home office COM
mittee was unanimous in its report as
to the value of women police and the
reed for them"
He was replying to Dame Helen
Gwynne Vaughan, who urged the i'm
p~ortance of making women police a
success, adding that the first thing to
do is to create public sentiment in
their favor.
D. M. Cowan, member of parliament
for Scottish university, said that only
harm could result from the appoint
ment of any but the very best class OF
to this service. He raised a
point, which was much discussed later
when he said that the women selected
should be highly educated women with
many qualities of sympathy and un'
Outstanding. This idea was embodied
in the second resolution, which stated
that it was of the utmost Importance
that women of ability, experience and
education should be encouraged tt
enter the police service, and after
some discussion it was decided to de-
lete the words ''and education" The
general feeling seemed to be that some
eminently suitable women might moi
come up to a high educational stand
ard.
