BIRTHDAYS OF EMINENT WOMEN. (From tho Boston Transcript.) The movement Just Inaugurated by some women's societies to observe throughout the country the birthdays of eminent women might appropriately bo made a general one. It Is one of the first steps taken toward proper recognition recogni-tion of the work done by women In forming und making our country and upholding Its ideals. A well known educator, a gentleman and a scholar, has recently been calling attention to the Inadequate representation of women wom-en ln the histories used as text-books in the public schools. Whether the reason rea-son for this lies, as Is claimed, In the fact that men are the authors of the histories, or Is based on a deeper cause, tho fact is certainly patent to everyone every-one that public recognition of women's worth and work on a plane with that accorded to men has been scanty and meager.
