WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.

Sir,—Thetubject of ‘Women on the School Board’ has brought <:o the lighta number of Jetters eome, 87: 8 b'e some uot. One of the latter is that sigoed “ School Teacher.” To tell the truth, I doubt if the pseu- donym bea true ore, for | think toomuch of tue teachers of Cuarloitetown to believe anyone of them capable of writing such a letter. ‘Schoo! Teacher,” co called, may make all the fun he likes of women corducting public affairs; but that does aot prevest women from fu'filling their, duty as weil in publie as in private] f. the bhacdling of pabire addressing of public meetings 1s not @ mAb. ter of sex, but ot abil ty and practice. Let me say to “School Teacher” that in the present dsy (1 do not say it 18 & good thing) many girls are as well informed in the parliamentary usage as their fathers. | for, one however, have no desire to do man’s work, I always did believe in letting them put ap doubie~windows, shovel, snow and euch like manly oceupa - tions, withoat my heip. However, it what concerna children is not woman’s work, I should like te know what is? What women would do on the School Board we do not kuow. It is a venture yet to be tried in Charlottetown. How- ever, let the number of men be not decreased and one or more women added. Then what porsible harm could come? For there would always be enough manly wiedom to outvote the foolishness of women! And yet we know some women have ideas and these might be put into results if such 7cmen were on the School Board. Lbat “ Schocl Teacher” is a man is evident. But he does aot show his man-~ l.cess in bringing a lady’s name into print isn’t a ecnool
