Mrs Murdoch, a member of the Board, deeply resented this action, and has forwarded,to secretary of the Briard the following letter. "I wish to tender my resignation as a member of the Board. I will no longer remain to see gross injustice done unoer the guise of economy, neither will i sit through anv more meetings such as have been held lately. The fact that I am on© woman alone is too great ft handicap where men ihav© so little belief in the mental capacity of my sex. Having done my duty as I have seen it, i declin© to remain in what I feel would be a false position. In other words, I can no longer work with the members of the Board who are just now the ruling party. You have my greatest sympathy, because I feel you have never been"given the chance to show what you are capable of. If I can help at. any time please call upon me."
