“ I propose that we resolve, and if necessary swear, to be loyal to our Pioneer Women, and have no gossip about them, whatever their transgressions may be. If their faults are so glaring that they cannot be overlooked, let us privately mention them to ourselves; if that is not sufficient, then let the matters be brought before the members assembled, but let us be above ““little tattle”” back-biting which is so degrading to anyone engaged in it. ”
