The narrative of tliese two girls , the Misses W , has not been ivenas I before statedas a proof of the satisfactory result of our
interference g , in their behalf , ; but surely it may be received as a warning to those who have the care of young girls , and who leave
them to act for themselves at the very age when they most require a judicious guide and adviser to direct them and form their
character . Providence directed Anne "W to a haven of safety . How many situated as she wasareon the contrary , led by those
, , who are watching to entrap youth into the gulf of destruction . If these few pages are only instrumental in causing one careless
mother to give more thought to the training of her children's minds in that strength and those principles necessary to resist temptation ,
they will not have been written in vain .

» I should not this year have brought before the Social Economy Section a _siibject which has already received such ample ventilation
in the columns of the public press , but for a sense of the responsibility under which it appears to me that we all labor in regard to
what has been termed the movement in favor of woman ' s work , which makes me anxious to take this opportunity of stating my
individual opinion , based upon the varied experience of five years . I had at first intended to entitle this short paper the Progress of
Public Opinion in Regard to Woman ' s "Work , but in reconsidering the matterI thought that the Balance of Public Opinion was a better
nameinasmuch , as the extreme complication of the question renders mere , progression in any direction a dangerous matter , unless
careful limitations are specified . And here let me say , that I think of all the many classes
whose interests have received benefit from fair discussions at the Rye meetings hitherto held of the Association for the Promotion of
Social Science , women owe the deepest debt of gratitude to those gentlemen who organized the Association .
From the first semi-private meeting at Lord Brougham ' s house , to which he referred in his Address last Thursday , and at which
Mrs . Jameson , Mrs . Austin and Mrs . Howitt were present , down to the present time ; Lord Brougham and Mr . George Hastings , and
all the numerous gentlemen who have been brought in contact ¦ with the question , of whom I would specially name Lord
Shaftesbury as President of our Society , have shown the utmost desire to
g m anaged women the fair meetings play ; and and d iscussions only fair as t o ay e , nable for they them have to be so
