ABSTRACT
Women are more economical than men, it iB said. The ordina.ry teaching of life for men is to earn money, and for women to layout the money so earned to the best advantage. Partly from this cause, and partly from having usually less money to spend than men, and being obliged to make a little go a long way, women do study economy, and would be more likely than men to be careful of the public money and not laviBh it uselessly. Constant superviBion and checking of expense iB a most necessary part of a guardian's work, and I believe that if women were to help in this duty, a real gain would ultimately be made to the pockets of the ratepayers without causing the paupers to suffer.
