ABSTRACT
Mr. WooDCOCK sa.id it would be most unwise and undeSirable to introduce ladies to positions on that Board. There were many ques. tions arising which they would not care to come before a lady, 'l'he,y had already a matron and a lady superintendent of nurses, and they managed matters just as well as they would do if there were lady members on the Bo:u-d. His idea of woman was tbat she .should remain the " ministering angel " at home. He should v.ote against the motion. ·
Mr. W. RATHBONE supported the motion. He thought lady mem .. bers would be found to be much more firm in dealing with matters of public business than they were. He, however, ask~ £or the .appointment of two ladies to the Vestry-the one as companion to the other. He would not like to see a lady go thTOngh a contested election, and he was somewhat opposed to the strong-minded young lady who would enter into a fight for the mere pleasur~ of goiDg through it.
