Then my thoughts turned to the girls of
the same age, thirteen to fifteen. Where
and when in my life did I ever hear two
of them discussing the great questions
of the time, in a car or anywhere else?
A huge wave of discouragement rolled
over my soul. My head came out above
it, though. I wonder if before I die 1
shall ever find among average young
girls any who know or care for anything
but trash?
New York has a law requiring that
women physicians shall be employed in
all state institutions to which women
are sent. Dr. Eveline T. Balantino has
been appointed resident physician at the
state hospital at Rochester. Shu got her
appointment by passing the best com
petitive examination. She receives $1,200
a year and her living, which is not bad
for a young lady just starting in the
world. Dr. Balantine is a graduate of
the medical school connected with the
University of Michigan.
Rev. Dr. J. M. Buckley, who has made
himself notorious by opposing the recog
nition of women as sane human beings,
holds that the "adoption of woman suf
frage would lie the greatest blow that
religion and morals have received in
modern times.” Os course we can un
derstand from this that Rev. Dr. Buck
ley’s own wife and mother have not
good sense and good moral character,
and therefore are not fit to vote, but he
should not fall into the mistake of judg
ing other men's wives and mothers by his
own.
