Woman and the School Vote

w OuldH anu IIlC DCuOOl OJC.
My Dear Household: esteem the privilege
of exchanging views with you; even If we do
not view the different walks OF life exactly
alike, that is why our letters may prove 10
be the more interesting and beneficial.
No others take much interest in the well
fare OF the school children the mothers and
the teachers, and no others are better qualified
to Judge of their needs. This is now so we'll
recognized that women have been given some
form Of school suffrage in Arizona, Colorado,
Connecticut. Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana.
Idaho, Kentucky. Kansas. Michigan, Masss-
braska, New Hampshire. New Jersey, New
York. North Dakota. Oklahoma, Ohio, South
Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wyoming.
and Wisconsin.
The reports from all these states are very
favorable; elections conducted in mucn
more orderly style than in states where no
Nal suffrage exists. There is very seldom
any disturbance and the polls are kept frea
Hundreds Of women are serving as county
school superintendent. There are only a very
few Of the good results
The most direct way by which any one can
aid in promoting the efficiency Of the schools
is to help elect men and women of fitness. In
tegrty with honest and progressive ideas ia
administer them. For all these reasons 1t Is
desirable that women should have the school
vote. In England, Scotland, ireland, Canada,
throughout a large part OF Europe, as well as
In Australia and New Zealand, women nave
America has women as intelligent and capable,
and as devoted to the welfare OF the children
and the community In other parts Of the
world. Surely we have gentlemen among us
who are as loyal to women as the gentlemen Of
other nations. Let us hope that state in
the union Will permanently shut women out
from the opportunities Of usefulness that are
open to them In more than half the United
States, as well in many foreign lands.
