hich as yet has been made in behalf of
women. The petition in favor of the medical education of
women was largely signed in Scotland. The Society for the
higher education of Women is progressing well and the
professors spoke highly of the efficiency of their working
pupils. In the university classes of botany and natural
history all the female students were in the honor list, and
Miss Edith Pechey was the first chemistry student for the
year.

With best wishes and thanks to you and your committee for
your kind invitation, I am truly yours,

MADAM:--I beg to thank you for the circular and your
accompanying note, both inviting me to attend the Twentieth
Anniversary of the inauguration of the Woman Suffrage
Movement in the United States, to be held in New York on the
20th and 21st of October. I have once traveled through your
country with very much pleasure, and, I hope, with some
profit, and I have a strong desire to come again; but as it
is impossible for me to do so now, I can not attend your
meeting. I need not say that I sympathize with your object.
It seems to me to be inconsistent with the principles of
your Government, and of ours, to deny to women the power to
control those who legislate for them. Until they obtain this
control through the suffrage, they will suffer many
disadvantages and be the victims of unequal laws. How soon
they will obtain it must depend mainly upon their own
efforts. In the meantime the present agitation will give
them an interest in many public questions, will in itself be
an education in preparation for political power, and will
exercise an influence in favor of more equal legislation
between men and women.

Very truly yours,

Mrs. P. W. DAVIS. JACOB BRIGHT.
