endeavour thus grouped together means strenuous, persevering endeavour of good women aided by good and enlightened men. And more than this-it means that those who have been foremost in forcing open the gates of knowledge and in winning leave to serve the State, have been the most strongly convinced of the essential need for recognized citizenship of women.

It may be well to glance at each group in turn.

High Schools.-Have not the words of the founder of the High School system, Mrs. Wm. Grey, been recorded in these pages?

University classes.—Were not the pioneer workers for Women's Suffrage the same who opened the doors of the University examinations and founded the first college for women? Have not the Scotch Universities honoured the suffrage movement and themselves by conferring the honorary degree of LL.D. at St. Andrews on Mrs. Fawcett (the first woman so distinguished), and at the recent jubilee of Glasgow University on Miss Emily Davies.

Medicine. The pioneer names in that professionElizabeth Garrett, Sophia Jex Blake, were not they amongst the early supporters ?-forerunners of many suffrage sympathizers in the profession they have opened to women. There are still a few left who remember the thrill of satisfaction in the Suffrage Committees when, in 1868, Florence Nightingale's name was added to the list of members of the National Society for Women's Suffrage, where it abides to this day.

Systematic training in domestic arts.-Who ever thought of such things until women had begun to realize their need of an equal status as ratepayers?

Organizations.-Did not Mary Carpenter, that first and best friend of the street arab and juvenile criminal, write, only three months before her death (in 1877), that she warmly sympathized in the Women's Suffrage movement, though unable to take any part in it owing to other engagements. Did not Mrs. Nassau Senior, the friend of the workhouse girl (founder of the M.A.B.Y.S. and indirectly of G.F.S.), write, after the debate of 1875, that she felt it a duty to do her utmost to promote the success of the measure, regardless of any effect it might probably have on her chances of future employment under the Local Government Board? Where have the children of the State found a steadier friend than Miss Florence Davenport-Hill, originator, as already recorded, of the West of England organization for the suffrage?

In Emigration, Maria Rye and Mrs. Beddoe; in Temperance, Mrs. Samuel Lucas, first President of the British Women's Temperance Association, Mrs. Arthur Tanner, Miss I. M. S. Tod. In fact, every name that has been prominent in the roll of the suffrage workers has, at one time or another, in one organization or another, been prominent in collateral work for the common good. As regards reforms in legislation affecting wives and mothers, there was not a single suffrage meeting in the early years which did not give
