WOMEN DOCTORS.

THE DEBT WE OWE TO THEM. -

The London School of Medicine for Women has recently celebrated its jubi-.. lee. Not only to those who found in that seminary antina "mater is the occasion of importance, remarks a Londoä paper, for from the formation of its classes in. 1874 we must date the concession to women of the means of training for the medical profession. It is true that even then the names of two women were to be found on the Medical Register, In 1838 Elizabeth Blackwell had taken the degree of MD at the University of Geneva; in 1903 the Indy best, known to our genera- tion as Mrs. Garrett Anderson had ob tained the diploma of the Society of Apothecaries. But after that shocking accident the society made a rule that car

recognised didates must come from a medical school, and as no such school would admit women students the sanctity

the profession was preserved. and stubborn struggle to obtain medical Edin teaching and medical degrees at burgh University ended in a defeat in the law courts. Then Miss Sophia Jex Blake, leader of the

women students, turned to London Though she had, as much prejudice to fight, it

"THE GOOD OLD TIMES."

THE POSITION OF WOMEN. Lecturing to the City Women's Club in Wine Ofice Court, on November 5th, on London in the Good Old Times." Mr. Walter G. Bell, after, giving a vivid pic ture of the dirty, smelling, insanitary town, and the dark and foetid wooden houses in the fourteenth century and onwards. went on to speak of the posi tion of women in those far-buck times. and in particular referred to the offence of being scolds, and the punishment im posed. This sometimes took the form of wearing an iron band enclosing the bend and gagging the mouth; at others of stripping to the waist and public whip- ping and yet again of ducking in a pond. Ore hapless scold from Westminster was described as being dragged at the stern of a row-boat through the Thames from bank to bank. Those were the good old times of the early seventeenth cen tury. In one respect Mr. Bell spoke a good word for old times. There was not Ho much hanging then. They did not bang & man or woman for stealing a handkerchief or # shilling-not custom- arily. The times of the four Georges were the real banging days. The earlier sand years were bratal in that men
