WOMEN CANDIDATES.
We mu-'t all feel very gratified at the success of Women Candidates fur Hospital and Chai liable Aid Boards; also for School Committee elections. We offer hearty congratulations to our White Ribbon sisters who have been elected. I)r Elorem e Keller, our Purit\ Superintendent, headed the poll in Auckland. Dr. iMatts-Mills and Mrs McLaren, both W.K. subscribers, are re-elected in Wellington; also Mrs M<Vicar, W ellington Central's Se< retary, joins them for the first time. Our old friend, Mrs Watson, is again elected to Nelson H. and C. A. Board. Dunedin returned three women at the head of the poll. It i> surely a splendid tribute to the work done by women on these Boards that Wellington, Auckland, and Dunedin returned women at the head of the poll. Mrs Jcmison, of Tariki, has ju*t been elected Secretary and Treasurer of School Committee for the seventh successive year, and Mrs Darvall, Ngaio’s Vice-President, has been reelected Secretary. All through the Dominion women’s work has received recognition by reelection of old members, and by election of new women members. We trust that it will net be long before women are elected to our Educational and Municipal Bodies in greater numbers.
