The State is divided into eight health districts, with an inspector for each in the State employ. Each city has its board of health; each town administers the laws through its selectmen. The City of Lynn has a board of health; also health inspectors, who do much of their work before we are up--from 2 to 5 o'clock. They inspect all the milk stations; take samples from milk wagons; inspect dairies that sell milk in Lynn, wherever those dairies may be, even out of the State--as, for instance, the Turner Centre Creamery in Maine. All that doesn't look as if the milk situation was being neglected. Massachusetts is doing a great deal for the children. There are over 5,800 wards in the care of the State Minor Wards Department. I do not need to tell you what a great work is being done for the care and education of these little ones; it speaks for itself. Our opponents do not say much about the work women are doing on State Boards. There are plenty of positions already held by women who are doing inconspicuous and unexciting work, yet, nevertheless, most useful to the Commonwealth. Here are some of them, with the number of women on each board: The State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity was organized in 1879, with 2 women on the board. The work is now divided among different departments. The State Board of Education had 1 woman member as far back as 1880; it now has 2. The State Board of Charity has 2. The Free Public Library Commission has 2. The Commission for the Blind has 2. The Homestead Commission has 1. The Minimum Wage Commission has 1. The Board of Registration of Nurses has 3. The Prison Commission has 2, who also serve on the Board of Parole for the Reformatory for Women. The Board of Trustees of the State Infirmary and State Farm has 2. The Board of Trustees of the Hospitals for Consumptives has 1. The State Hospitals at Worcester, Taunton, Northampton, Danvers, Westboro, Medfield, Monson, Boston, Foxboro, have 2 each. The Gardner State Colony has 2. The Wrentham State School has 2. The Massachusetts Training School Trustees has 2. The Massachusetts General Hospital has 1. The Perkins Institution for the Blind has 1. The Hospital Cottages for Children has 1. Here are forty-five women doing voluntary work on these Boards, all appointed by the Governor and working under laws passed by the _men_ in the Legislature. Take another line. The manual of the labor laws enforced by the State Board of Labor and Industries, covers the enforcement of the laws relative to the education of minors, employment of minors, hours of labor, apprenticeship, hours of labor for women, health inspection, lighting, ventilation, cleanliness, guarding against dangerous machinery, work in tenement houses, etc.
