SUFFRAG|STS HAVE
ROUS|NG MEETING

Atlanta March Eff the mass
meeting Of Atlanta women last
night to hear Miss Jane Adams
talk on woman suffrage can be
taken as a fair indication of Allan
ta's sentiment, then this city will
soon be added to the ranks of suf-
frGge strongholds.
''Votes for women, first, last and
all the time" was the platform an
nounced by Miss Adams and other
distinguished members ofthe Nation
al Woman's Suffrage association
who occupied the platform, and
then they called for a rising vote
on the question.
1t looked as if every woman>in
the house arose. They cheered and
waved their handkerchiefs, and
hurrahed for the speak 2rs, and
showed more enthusiasm generally
than southern women are supposed
to be able to manifest in anything
remotely related to politics.
And if you were mere man
and present, you had to admit
that it was real political meeting.
Jane Adams and her crowd, and
those who sYmpatihze with her
ideas II Atlanta, are not talking in
Georgia for any abstract principals.
What they want is the right to
vote for mayor OF Atlanta, for
governor of Georgia, for all of
Georgia's representatives and sena-
tors. They want to vote! They
insist on voting They don't threat
en- any militant means, but they
say they are going to vote, and
that the men might Just as we'll let
'em first as last since it's got to
come.
In her speech last night Miss
Adams referred at length to
states which already have woman
suffrage, and declared that almost
invariably the first legislation af-
fected has been that bearing on
the problems of child labor and
compulsory education. The thing
she thought Georgia most needed
was a compulsory education law,
and the better enforcement of child
labor regulations.

Among the daughters of Spelman

Of this city. She completed the high
school course in 1901. Later she took

which is something over 5000 Mrs.

ness, burning with zeal, but unable to
plan, to execute, to bring to fruition.
because Of the lack Of proper training.
Looking into their eager faces. she
read her masters message.
On Sept. 4, 1909, the Bryant school
was opened in five small rooms over a
grocery store. The enrolment that
year was 175. with four teachers. The
brave spirit Of this woman, her clear
vision and wise management, gained
for the school friends who made it pos
sible to close the year free of debt.
Now there are eight teachers and 275
pupils. Thirty-eight Of these are in the
kindergarten department.
A recent visit to this school at night
was Of unique interest. The rooms
over the grocery store, in which the
school is still held, are in size II by Is.
Two classes were being conducted In
each. There are no desks in these
rooms, and the blackboards are very
poor. From 7:30 until 10 o'clock these
grown people who have worked hard
oil day pore over their books with an
eagerness which is pathetic. Some of
them walk six and seven miles to get
here. One woman, who conducts a
school Of her own Of sixty pupils dur
ing the day, attends here at night and
seizes with avidity every possible scrap
Of knowledge so as to have bit Of
new mental food for her children on
the morrow.
One man, long grown. Is now able to
manage his business owing to three
years. drill with Mrs. Bryant and her
helpers. Among other things which
impresses one is the marvellous pa
tence Of the teachers, for to instruct
men and women Of the age Of sixty
Eve and over in the rudiments il not
calculated to soothe the nerves. The
hours which most of these teachers
devote to their profession are from
$50 a. m. to 10 p. m, and all this for
the princely salary Of $25 a month or
