WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD

10 the Editor Of the Press:
There are remaining but four days in
which to 90 nsioer the amendment to the
clause in the City Charter relating to the
placing of three women on the School
Board; then comes the day when the mo-
mentous question shall be decided. What
more can be said to influence our citizens
In its favor? SO much has already been
said and written upon the merits of the
case that to further generalize or special
ize them would seem unnecessary; to ad-
vance theories or make any attempt to
moraiize upon the existing need seems
quite as unnecessary. In fact the COM
tion of seeking to defend a cause that has
10 active opponenta and ono is led to
conclude that the progressive spirit of the
age had, with Its mellowing touch dis
armed much, If not all the prejudice that
has ever existedf' That 1t has done so
in the case many is an accompl ished
fact. 1t may be interesting to your read
ers to learn how some Of our leaders in
thought look upon the matter. Three of
our prominent lawyers we're interviewed
Board? Why, indeed do. why should'nt
l." We're the ready and unanimous re-
plies ~ certainly shall vote for the
amendment when the March election
comes and do all can in the interim to
influence others to vote for It." A we'll
know architect expressed himself praoti-
cally in thu same way. Two of onr lead
ing clergy men emphatically and unre-
servedly said the same thing, one of
whom added: why, one of the best
and most successful schools in the section
of the State, (New York. from which l
came had a woman on the Board and
her influence in the right direction was
simply WONDERFUL A wife Of one of
our most prominent olerg3 man. a lady
who has been peculiarly conservative in
the matter now feels that it has become
necessity : She also cites the case of "A GER
tain town in Massach usstts where n wom-
an on the Board has been of incalcuable
worth.
Scores of such testimonials could be
given with the names of persons inter
viewed, did occasion demand, but We
dare not tresIass farther on the much
sought for "sI ace" of your paper. We
will only say, in closing. to our voters
.Gs ntlemen please vote for the Amend
nent on the coming Monday and give 1t
a test of "a twelve months, to determine
its value"
