WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD

Sik,—Tue Examiner of February 11th ia before me and tie report of the public meeting of the “Women’s Council” as to the need of women on the School Board. [ quote from the repert of Mre. Camp- bell’s pap r

“* Mig ht It pot be wel] to place some WO- men on cur School Board,—women of common-ease who would call a halt and use the'r influence to reduce the overtax- ing studies which it jare bo dy and brain.”

[bere is uodoubt that there are oc cas- ionally ch Idren who are burt by over-tu: ly, but very few compared to the number in- jured hy unwise feeding and late hours.

} 13 through no lack of echool oversight. if the ch ldren were as strictly kept at home bes they are in @ well-conducted school, | there would be no need “ to raise the tone | of | the morality inthe public sctocls.”

The trath is, parents need to allow their ly ung daug iters much leas freedom of the isireets ia the evening. I: ont-

side the school the tone of morality needs raising, or rather the strictnese of parents needs increasing.

The appointment of women the school board may be a good thing. Bu, f by some means parents could be induced to send their children to bed early, feed them with nonvstimulating food, and keep both boys and girlsin of an evening, more would be lone for the public welfare and “social purity” than anything the Women’s Gouncil have yet attempted.

Sir,—Let the women stay at home and take good care of their bouseh lis and in« fluence their hu+tands in regard to public matters in which they have an interest. A good woman wi!l easily influence her bus- band to do anything thatix good. I know that I can manage my husband pretty well; aod Ithisk tbat the idea of putting a wo- m an upon the Schocl Board among a lot of men is just horrid.
