WOMEN POLICE.
LONDON, February 25. Sir Nevil Macready, formerly Commissioner of Police in London, in the course of his evidence before a special committee, paid a remarkable tribute to the success of women as policewomen. The successful women included domestics, nurses, and bus conductresses, who took up jujitsu and other physical training, the same as men. They also undertook night duty, guarding a powder magazine. Sir N. Macready urged the employment of an increasing proportion of women. The conditions would be similar to those of men, including the pension. The class of woman was immaterial so long as she had the human element largely developed, and was not a faddist.
