Mrs H o. Garvey moved an amend
ment to the resolutions for the appoint
ment Of a committee from the fedora
ton to present the resolutions in person.
1t was carried and the committee ap-
pointed includes Mrs. Clement Smith,
federation president; Mrs. H. Q. Garvey,
Mrs. G. L. Wood, Mrs. w. A. McCarter,
Monroe.
The meeting was interrupted by the
arrival of Mr.. E. H. Anderson, a mem
Der Of the board of education, who came
on suggestion of some Of the board and
requested that the federation withhold
the petition. Mr.. Anderson's sugges-
ton, though couched in potter terms,
amounted to Don't butt in" but 1t was
very coldly received. Various speeches
were made by the women in which they
expressed the opinion that as they had
the right of franchise at school cleo
tions voted for members of the board
OF education, for school bonds and other
/ details in connection with the public
school system in Topeka and were, in
fact. the most prominent factor in
school elections, they were entirely with
in their rights in endorsing any petition
to the board and especially one in which
they felt SO deep an interest. Many Of
the club members were formerly school
teachers, and nearly all Of them have
!
grade teachers. They unanimously
voted to comply with the school boards
polite request to mind their own BUSH
ness and tnasmuch as they felt that
this was most emphatically their bust
ness, they passed the resolutions unan-
imousiy and viii present them at the
next board meeting.
Three new individual members of the
city federation were voted in at the
L. Alkire, Mrs. Tom Davis and Mrs. E.
A. Harrison.
1t is desired most positively to correct
q misstatement which appeared among
the club notes of last weeks issue.
The Lawrence city federation will en-
terrain only the state officers and those
