ENGLISH WOMEN.
TO GO ON THE LAND. LADY WOLSELEY’S SCHEME. Novelty is not- lacking in the contribution of Lady Capel Wolseley to the solution of Britain’s-problem of superfluous women, advanced upon her arrival at Sydney—namely, that a community farm for girl land-workers should be established in Australia. Lady Wolseley said that she saw no insurmountable obstacles to ‘the successful establishment in this, way of mim-. bers of England’s better-educated women. During the war, she said, English girls had shown that they' were capable farm workers. Besides helping to solve the problem of surplus women, it would also provide Australia with a better class of women than was being brought out under the present system, and a class that would, until marriage, at least, abide on the land.
