HISTORIES STIR
SUFFRAGISTS IRE
Women Not Given Proper Prominence in
Schoolbooks, They
Declare.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Nyomen of his
tory are not given fair play and, in fact,
virtually are ignored in the histories
used in the local schools, members of
the college of women's equal suffrage an
nounced yesterday. Their protest was
aroused by the report of a special com
mittee appointed several weeks ago to
look into the school books. What form
the protest will take has not yet been
determined
The committee, in its report, an
nounced that it had found only incident
mention" OF women in the histories used
in the several grades of the public
schools. In the fifth grade textbook, the
report charges, the only reference to
women was in the sentence, "0n the
fourth Monday the women went ashore
to wash" In most every reference to
the sex in other grade books it was
found that no attempt had been made
to establish the identity of individuals,
The allusion to women that aroused
the committees ire was discovered as
footnote in the textbook used in the
high schools. 1t contained the informa-
tion that Garrison failed to become the
leader of the abolition movement because
of his extreme views and that 'among
other things, he believed in woman suf-
frage."
