To Follow the Procession.

We might urge it from the side Of
being In accord with the spirit of the
age. In more than thirty out of the
fifty states and territories in our land
women have some form of school suf-
lrage, and it seems TO have been uni
formly beneficial when once given a
fair trial. Is It not a significant fact
that every state having less than one
per cent of illiteracy has school suf-
frage for women? Why should the
women Of Kentucky be denied a priv
ilege that the women in thirty-one
other states have used for the promo
ton of the cause of education, and
therefore for the crying cause of a
better citizenship?

RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED

Opening address of Mrs. A. NJ. Har-
Tison at Lexington mass meeting:
Almost all large subjects can be APP
preached from several different points
of view. The theme for consideration
this afternoon, school Suffrage for
the Women of Kentucky Who Can
Read and Write" might be treated
from the side of right and justice The
fact that women and the mothers of
the race-that childhood has ever
been regarded as the most sacred
charge of womanhood-mig be
urged as a fundamental reason for
the exercise of this privilege. The
child leaves home at six years of age
for schools not the mother as vital
ly concerned in its welfare during the
formation period of its school life as
during its years of infantry. and
should she not have the same voice in
It's management and environment at
this time?

What We Want II For.

But the point of approach in this
movement to present bill to the gen.
eral assembly now IN session at
Frankfort for school suffrage with an
educational qualification for the wom-
en- of our state was not along the gen.
eral line of claiming It as a just right
for the mothers of the race, or of the
natural desire OF wanting to be in the
fashion with about two-thirds of our
sister states, but our primary point of
approach is the unselfish and patriot
ic wish to be able to do our part in re-
moving the dark stigma of illiteracy
from our beloved commonwealth.

This body stands pledged and ready
to do all it can for the betterment of
educational conditions in our state

ment leagues in thirty-eight of our

School Suffrage.
Its leaders and members feel that
this work can be immensely forward
ed by granting to women of education
the right of school suffrage. In ac-
cordance with this, the following res
olution was presented and passed at
the last annual convention at Shelby
Vile:
whereas, The Women of Kentucky
are deeply stirred by the educational
needs of the state, and deplore the IL
literacy and badly equipped school
buildings, the short average term. the
poorly paid teachers, and the alarm
ing fact that over half the children of
school age are out of school; and
Whereas, We believe the remedy
of these conditions lies in the voting
lof l1al taxes, in securing earnest and
disinterested persons as school
trustees and members of city school
boards, in the merit system for teach
'ers, and in other reforms, the means
towards which must be found in an
enlightened school electorate, and
Whereas, We realize that all ef-
forts of women in behalf of schools
are feeble compared to the power they
would exert IL included in the school
electorate; therefore
Resolved. That, while not abating
any of our efforts to improve the
schools by the indirect means now
open to US, we exert ourselves to the
utmost to secure school suffrage for
Kentucky women having the ability
to read and write"

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

WHEREAS, our Heavenly Father has
seen fit to remove from our midst our
beloved sister. and co-worker, Mrs.
Bette Currell Williams, we, the mem
bers of Fleets Bay Sunday school. do
hereby express our sincere sorrow, and
offer this tribute of affection and re-
spect: Therefore be it
Resolved.1st: That we as a community
feel that we have sustained an irrepar-
able loss, for while she was ever ready
to minister to the sick and distressed,
yet her loss will be felt most keenly in
her home, where she was as a ray of
sunshine, Frightening all about her.
While we cannot understand why one
so young and full of usefulness and
with such bright prospects for the future,
should be taken, we believe that our
loss is her gain, and that some time
the veil which now obscures our vision
will be lifted and we shall see that all
Gods plans are best.
Resolved End: That we extend to the
sorrowing husband, father, mother and
every member of her family our heart
felt sympathy. and pray that Gods
grace may sustain them in their severe
affection. and that they may realize
that Heaven is nearer because of her
being there.
Resolved 3rd: That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family of our
deceased sister. and also copy to the
VIRGINIA CITIZEN for publication.
