1t matters not as to their creed or saut
They are welcome here to partake of that
knowledge and learning which will make
them better women and better fit the m
for the life upon which they are entering.
We hear much TODAY of this suffragette
talk. And | have not a doubt but what
in time the women of Alabama will sn-
cure the franchise; hut [ do not believe
they want it now. They first need the
learning and knowledge such as can oe
given them by the Alabama Girls Indus
trial institute, and then they will be fitted
for the franchise if they desire it. Th
school has passed through the dark days
of its history; the bright ones are con-
ing now. The governors heart is here
and he is going to do all he can to heir
us. Within another year or so l am con-
fdent these old shacks which are now
used for class rooms will be replaced.
