WOMEN'S COUNCIL

The Question ef Appointing « Lady tu the School Board.

A pullic meeting under the auspices of the Women’s Connzil ‘vas_ held in St. Paul’s Scehoolroom = last evening. The President, Mrs. Andereov, occupied the chair, avd delivered alengthy opening addrese, inthe course of which she re viewed the history of the Women’s Counc:) } movement, described and paid an eloq vent tribute to the sbility and character o! the lately deceased Secretary~ Treasurer of the Charlottetown Counci!, Miss Roga Stewart.

Therefore, we concludedtbat the €Xpectation of Mr.

Hodgson’s decision, but toobtain the ger

obtaining a reversal of Justice vices of Mr. Amedie Gallant upon the floor of the Legislature throughout the coming session.

Bat the law says thatthe appeal must be heard at the earliest possible moment. Now the Supreme Court opens at George- town ip two weeks time and there is uo reason why the appeal should not be heard at that term of the court. Moreover, it is said that the appeal is not a stay of pro~ ceedings upon the Jndge’s decision. On the contrary the Speaker’s duty and the Lieutenant Governor’s duty isclear, They ere to act whenever they receive Judge Hodgson’s decision, irrespective of the appeal. Itis therefore, possible that the Liberal scheme wil] miscarry after al).

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—1o the House of Lords, few days ago, Lord Salisbury remarked that the agree - ment between Germany and Great Britain, wasof acharacter favorable to friendship between the two nations and to the righta of allconcerned as weil asto the peace of the world. But be would pot be doing his daty if he gave further details asto the etipvlations, which for the present require moO action on the part of Great Britain.

—A short time age, £60,610 in bank notes had been stclen from Pari’a Bank, Bartholomew Lane, London. This 1otbery recaila the mystericus divappearance of £1,000 from the Bank of England. A cashier had placed two bags of £1,000 each on the counter, before banding them to @ wessenger from Meesrs. Coutt’s bank, who was waiting for the money, While the cashier was getting a third bag of £1,000, and the messenger turned his Lead for # second, cne of the bags of £1,000 was whisked into space. No suspicious person had been seen in the bank—and at the Bank of England detectives watch everybody who enters—and no clue has ever obtained as to how the money was stolen and who were the thieves, —

— Referring to the Soudan, the Premier of Great Britain said, a tew days ago, the title arising from the fact that the Soudan formed part of the territories of Egvpt aud aleo by the less complicated and more easily understood title ot conquest. Any revival of the claims of utles wn ch events have swept away couid not he sus ained hy bietorical precedent or international law. So far as the Czar’s rescript wae concerns ed, Lord Salisbury said no ope could doubt the purity aod bumaoiry of the Emperors motives, wid should heartily rejoice, he continues, “if the conference achieved an bumbler aim and if by the ‘steady vse of the principle Ofarbitratiun we mig.t beable to diminish ® number of the cansea by which war is produced. If by humaue legislation we could also diminish the horrors of war, we would render an immeasurable service to humanity. Meanwhile, we must follo ¥ the example of other nations and be pre pared for war. Ido not believe this 18 imminent, but the causes of war stil] subs sist; and, while doing our best pn the bles. eed mission of peace, we must maintain the position of security which past genera. tions have given us and when we bope to keep.”

effort, on behalf of tbe public, Mrs, Camp- b tf pointed out that the great majority of those employed as teachers in our public schools are women. Io point of fact, women are successful teachers, and are appreciated as such. This being so, why should not their services be of value

on our echool board? [no other cities women sit and work at. achool- boards,—why not here? Wherever children are to be dealt with, there is

woman’s place, a3 well as man’s. It is the mother’s care and watchfulness during the first few years that determines largely the destiny of the child; and when the child is pushed out of the bome nest into the public school, to be crowded sometimes into poorly ventilated rooms, aud perbaps compelled to learn what the little mind is not capable of grasping,—as it is the mother’s work to see after the healib and comfortof her chill; as fathers, however well-meaning, are nut adapted for this work,—would it not be well to let her have @ voice as to the child’s welfare in the schoolroom? A_ serious fault in Our present system is the multi- plicity of our etudies. Ia many cases the child’s brain is literally crammed with a lot of indigestible matter. Should a pros portionate amonot of food be taken into the stomach the result would be a weak- eved digestion. And how can it be expect» ed that the more deli cate organ, the brain, can use toadvantage the great supply of cold facts administered daily? If our wowen were represented on our schoo] board itis not improbable thatamore re aeonable course of studies would be pur- rued. it is a grand thing to have children taught the history their own and other countries,—also the politicel divisions of the earth, the rules of yrammar, ete. But they themseives, make or mar the hisiorg of their own country; and their ability te discera with nice percision the difference between a gerund and a finite verb wil] avail them litile it they carry an over

taxed brain im an overtaxed head, supported by an overiaxed body. Never before, perbaps,io the world’s history were men required to be so well equipped, both mentally and physically, as they are atthe present time. In every calling, the the most intense activity is necessary on the part of those who would keep im the van. In view of this, might it not be well to place some women on our school boards —women of common-sense, who would calla halt aod use their influence to re- duce the overtaxing stadies which injare

body and brain. Some women keener perception in this direction than men. Ber visiting the public schools as members of the school board, and gett! ne into touch with the teachers, such women would be able to exert an influence in respect :o food, cloth'ng, study, play and rest, scientific temperance, morals, etc., which couli not fail to be beneficial. The men On Our echool boards are wise and interested in their duties ; but they area'so very busy men, and they ought to be glad to welcome to their ranks women possess- ing the divine gift of sympathy, whose presence at the board would be telpful.

In conclusion Mrs. Campbell said that ahe bad intended to haveoffered some sugges- tions in respect to social purity in the schools; but as the audience wae a mixed one she would postpone remark upon these for a fulure occasiup.

Judge Warburton said that when he was Premierof the Province,some months ago, be had given the gestion of permitting the sppointment of ladies to our schoo! boards some attention. He thought the ladies should be represented at the Board of Edueation, aswell as at all the «chool boards; and if he had remainel in the Gevernment he would bave ccrried out this idea. The quesiion of purity in the schools ia @ vital question ; but it cannot be dealt with effectively in existiog cirenm-~ eancer. With ladies as our acho)! boards the tone of morality in the schools might be improved. Very few men take any heed as to the surro indings of the schools They know little or nothing about the sanitary arrangemeots—so important tc the health of the schclars, More regard sheuld, be thought, be paid to the ad vance- ment of education in comparison with the merely business interests of the schools. For these and other reasons, an infusion of feminine blood into the bodies govern~ ing our schools throughout the Province, as well as in the City, would, he believed, be advisab'e.

I he arointed to the Board of Sch’ ol Truster, }

be wished to say that it was his intention to move, at the next meeting of the Presby- tery of Vrince Edward Island, a resolution urging upon the Government the absolute necessity of making the registration of births and deathe compuleory, This ins tention be had intimated to a member of the Gcoveromest «me time ago. He was eure tha!, alike on physical and moral grounds, euch a resolution would carry unaimourly, vnodthatthe Pre. bytery would gladly cc-operate with the Council in eecurning thie end, As to the general question of women represcntatives on the boards of school trustees. he was not prepared to commit himself to any opinion, Butdealiog with ¢ Charlottetown a8 @ particular care, he would eodorse the appointment of women

tothe board, especially any such who could jastify a claim to be educational. The appointment of a fair proport 00 of women

to the board wouid,be trusted, be the means

of removing the irrational and vicious principle employed in the selection of echocl trustees,—viz: that the truatee

selected tin«t belong to a particular relig- ious denomination, presumably to gratify members of that church; that bis politics, f a government appointee, must be those f the party in power ; or that if appointed iv the civic authorities he must be (evi- dently) a friead of the predomi- section amongst them. Oar board is an excelleat board in some ways. It is composed of some clear- headed busiuess men, and has members of undoubted intellectual ability and scholastic attainments, But we require more than these. In point of fact, the mem- bers of the board should, to a large extent, he men or women who are really educa- tiouiste. Our schoo! should develop not Only the material side of life but also the mora}, mental, and initiative.

In this, women trustees would be of great value, especially as a very large por- tion of the constituency in our schools wae made up of the girls; and speaking from his own knowledge, the women by their at- tendance, attention and appreciation, have shown an interest in the schools and echoiars which seems tobe lacking in a very large percentage of the men.
