He aald his\nbelief wus lhat the exclusion of women from a great, many professions\nat the present time was the result of\nsuperstition, and very little else. He\nbelieved there was a greal many professions in which women were not\nonly qualified to do tho work, but\nwhere they could be of the greatest\npossible use.\nThere wero certainly a great many\npositions In th\" civil service which\nwomen could till quite as well as men,\nand which they did not (111 at thej\npresenl time-higher division posts I\nas well as others, '\nLord Haldane was questioned by\nMiss raldano as to whether he con-j\nsldered that post qualified for hy ai\nhigher education, whatever was the\ncase with regard to lower posts should\nreceive equal pay In the case of wo-\nmen .uul men. lie replied that he\nhad previously said that upon that I\nquestion he had found it ditllcult to j\nmake up his mind.\nit might he said that they,must pay\na man. no, what he was worth, not !\nthe cost of producing him. hut a living wage, because lie was the bread-1\nwinner for his wire and family, and!\nIhey ought to encourage him to have j\na wife and family, iu the interests of'\nthe stat-, and therefore be must be\npaid something extra for heing a cit-i\nIzen.\nREFORM IN SURGERY\nThat surgeon>i in recent years, in '\nvery recent years, have to some ex-\nt.-nt come to the opinion that ihe unfortunate person who mny furnish\nihem opportunity for the display nf\ntlieir skill in the use of saw and knife\nIs himself worthy of some consideration rpart from the beautiful opera*!\ntion, is a matter of congratulation,\nnot to the surgeons, but lo ourselves j\nof the laity- It has not been so!\nmany moons ago when a surgeon [\nknife in hand, was ready to pounce\nupon a patlen!* keen to operate without coniiderlnir whether the operation\nmlghl -ot be n graver source of danger lhan the deceased condition it-\nseir.\nThere has recently developed, says\nthe Mew York Medical Rrcord. the\nopposite t'-L* lency.
