    ment of Women , " which is working its way slowly but _perseyermgly , and we throw out this suggestion of an association on a wider basis

    in the belief that by proper organization thinkers and workers would be enabled to aid each other more easily and _effectually . The

    prominent purposes for which such an association ought to be formedare education and training . Education to fit women to

    be educa , tors , and training to fit them for the general duties of life , which duties are often ill understoodand if performed are rather

    done by fits and starts , as impulse , or inclination prompts than calmly and steadily adhered to from principle , or a strong sense of

    rig When ht . such marvellous changes and reformations are taking

    place around us _> when our young men full of enthusiasm submit to privations in order to learn the art of warwherefore should

    our many young women lag behind when called upon to , aid in the spread of the arts of peaceand consequently of civilization ; our young

    men may never be called , upon to unsheath their swords or face an enemy ; whereas , our women have already innumerable foes to war

    against , in the varied forms of poverty , ignorance , disease and crime . To mitigate these evils is assuredly work for womanas well as

    , the work by which she is to obtain a livelihood ; and we think no better means can in the first instance be tried than the plan of

    carrying out , by association on a wider scale , what is now being done partially . As a rough outlineit may be suggested that all

    , existing societies for the furtherance of such objects as have been mentioned should unite in having a common centre or reference , to

    which the helpers and those to be helped may apply , thus obviating difficulties constantly encountered by persons in search of aidor by

    , those desirous of rendering assistance . Should it be objected to that differences of opinion are still too

    wide apart to be thus united , there might be substituted an association for the general interests of women , more especially devoted to

    their improvement in knowledge , and in habits of activity and industry .

    " " —— "" The walnut traces its noble genealogy back to classic times , but the almond claims far higher antiquityfor its ancestors were well
