WOMEN AND PUBLIC LIFE.
“It is one of the disadvantages of the admission of women into political life on equal tei’ms with men that invariably the representation of women in public life tends to fall into the hands of unmarried, childless women, who can never be the truest exponents of women’s imind and character,” declared the Bishop of Durham at a Bothers’ union festival in London. Everybody knew of unmarried and childless wo)meii who had shown wonderful unselfishness and affection towards children but the fact remained that the natural experience of child-bearing, with all its sacrifices, was an indispensable condition to motherly character. “1 think it. is therefore unfortunate that the representation of women in public life should be so largely in'the hands of those who do not possess that primary qualification,” declared his Lordship.
