ident Wilson's five volume history of

that there had been no women In this
part of the universe from the landing
of the pilgrims to the present day, for
scarcely a mention of women can be

nil.”

activities, particularly in civic work
all the way from planting window
flower boxes to assumption of the
“judicial ermine.”
"It is a matter of common knowl
edge” she declared, "that many a mu
nicipal politician in office owes the
success of his technical administra
tion to the efficiency of a woman un

women’s work in municipalities were
no longer content with surrendering
their functions when they !v ume

responsibilities, she said, women had
come to accept the philosophy, “if you
want a thing well done do It your
self.”
