LEGISLATORS ARE
ANXIOUS THAT GOV.
CALL EXTRA SESSION
Letters to Admission Paper
Indicate That O'Neal's
Dissemination Not
Approved

Admission, November 1G.-tSpeclal.)
Apropos of the announced disinclination
of Governor Bmmet O'Neal to call an ex-
ira session of the Alabama legislature
at this time, and the proposed visit of q
delegation from jefferson county to urge
the chief executive to reconsider his stand
in this matter the Admission Star. which
has been conducting a poll of the legis-
lature to sound the sentiment of tho state
solons on this question, published a sec
ond batch of replies Sunday morning
which shows that the members Of the two
houses themselves are overwhelmingly in
favor of the extraordinary session.
The replies to the queries sent out by
the Star have been rather slow coming
in, but up to the present the Admission
daily has heard from over half of the
members now subject TO call, and they
stand as follows: For the extra session,
AZ; against extra session. s; non-eom-
initial. 9.
In a series of editorials the Admission
paper stated It's opposition to an extended
session or an attempt to inject politics.
factionae or partnership. The replies
would go to Montgomery with an eye sin
gle to the business interests of the state,
and make no attempt to play petty poll
ties or attack the administration.
1t is the opinion that this call shouldzem-
brace for consideration only such matters
as are OF pressing importance and the
legislature should confine itself to the
consideration OF such matters.
The question that seems uppermost in
the minds of the business men who have
made extended replies is. needed relief
for growing cities and towns of the state
Next to this comes the abolition of the
Tee system in Jefferson county. These
matters were not specified by the StaI
in it's queries, and the fact that so many
of the state legislators have stressed them
in their replies seems TO indicate that the
need of reform in these two respects Is
very generally appreciated.
There seems a preponderant majority
against taking up any consideration oi
the liquor question should the Legislature
he called into extraordinary session.

struction with recommendation for
their approval. =
2.-Should Women be Eligible to
Serve upon Boards of Public Instruc-
/ ton and Vote on School Matters, was
presented by Mrs. Bonacker, represent
ing the Civic League, which organiza-
ton first suggested the idea in this
part of the state.
Mrs. G. s. Bonacker argued that
since so large portion of the teachers
are women, and that so large a part of
the school life was buc the extension of
the home, that because womesl had
made good as administrators, and that
because they had more time than men
to give to the details of school adj
ninistration, that at least one-t third of
the board should be women. She cited
Chicago and Oak Park, Illinois, as not
able examples of cities having women
in educational circles. The existence
OF the Home and School Leagues and
the intelligence which the woman are
showing upon these questions, indi-
Gated to her the importance of the
feminine influence in school matters.
1t was also shown that DR.. ]. L.
Kelly, of Alachua county had at the
recent convention of the State Educa-
tional Association, come out f1at-fotted
for a constitutional amendment which
should permit women to hold school
offices and states that the schools were
handicapped because of the lack of
women in administrative offices.
Mrs. Bonacker showed conclusively
that this question had no relation at
all to the question of general suffrage,
that she was willing to leave politics
and business to the men, but the de-
tails of child care, instruction, santa
ton etc. were matters that women
were generally better fitted to handle
than men.
The Home and School League at the
conclusion of the argument unani-
mously Endorsed the proposition that
Women Were Eligible to School
Boards and to Vote Upon School Mat
ters,' and recommended that this sub
ject be referred to the Pensacola Pub
lie School Commission for that COM
mission to take under advisement. and
If practicable, to include the PROPOSE
ton with such other recommendations
as they may make to the legislature
now in session.
Some rules for the better care of the
school ground and health of the chill
dren were satisfactorily explained.
The annual meeting will be held upon
May IS, at which time the election of
officers will be held.
