Show Women en School Kuaras. Miss Grace Dodge, at a recent meeting meet-ing of one of the Good Government clubs in New York city, expressed her conviction con-viction that women 'were needed on the 6chool board for many reasons, and especially es-pecially because women can visit the schools during the hours when they are in session, which business men cannot do, and which politicians will not take the trouble to do. Miss Dodge also said that women teachers were sometimes victimized by immoral school trustees, and that in her experience as school commissioner she had come across several sev-eral such cases. This last statement, coming from a woman of Miss Dodge's high character and standing, has made a sensation. Some of the teachers profess pro-fess to be indignant But prominent women, who have been interviewed by the New York papers, express strongly the conviction that there ought to be women on the board. |
