women IN HISTORIES.
Suffragists Complain That They Re-
ceive Only Incidental Mention.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Women of
history are not given fair play and in
fact virtually are ignored in the his
tories used in the local schools MEM
bers of the women's equal suffrage
league announced today. Their pro-
test was aroused by the report of a
special committee 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 announced that
it had found only incidental mention"
of women in the histories used in the
several grades of the public schools. In
the fifth grade text book the report
charges, the only reference to women
was in the sentence: ION the fourth
Monday the women went ashore to
wash"
In most every reference to the sex
in other gradebooks it was found that
no attempt had been made TO estab-
lish identity of individuals. The allu-
sion to women that aroused the COM
mittee's ire was discovered in a foot
note in the text book used in the high
schools. It contained the information
that Garrison failed to become the
leader of the Abolition movement be-
cause of his extreme views and that
among other things, he believed In
woman suffrage.
