Atlanta when l say that we believe we
could be of real service to the city on
each of these boards and committees
"Schools-with their infinitely puz-
cling problems of childhood; libraries,
with their appeal to art and litera-
ture; parks and Fairgrounds, with
the children again to the fore-and
who knows children so well as
mother?-and all the other boards and
committees mentioned appear to me
to demand the careful and painstak-
ing attention of women jim addition to
the experience and business sense of
men.
For women are painstalSing and
they attend to details. The men make
Il good deal of fun of us sometimes
about bargain chasing, but ] can tell
YOU that very instinct of thrift and
economy, and the idea of getting the
most possible for the money will be
great advantage in civic administra-
ton.
No Crusade Planned.
"a am not seeking office myself. In
fact, just at this time | could not pos
sibly serve on a board or committee.
And we certainly have no crusade in
mind: no sudden reform to work; no
AK TO grind. Our idea is for a minor
ity of women to confer with the
boards and committees as actual
members, with a voice in their coun-
sells, and take perhaps more than
their share of the detail work, and the
investigation, and the duties that re-
CURE. patience and time, as well as
intelligence.

more than that, | think we can help
the city,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-24

Mrs. John X. Ottley's idea is this;
ut seems to me that the munich
pality is losing something in not Sc
lecting representatives from one-half
of its intelligent citizenry to help in
the administra ton of its affairs
And that was why Mrs. Ottley, at
the last meeting of the Atlanta Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, offered a
resolution recommending to the City
Council the appointment Of a minor
ity of women members to certain mu-
nicipal boards and committees.
please do not associate with this
position any idea of sudden and
sweeping reforms, or. especially, any
so called crusade" Mrs Ottley re-
quested while explaining her ideas of
the helpfulness of women in civic ad-
ministration.
No Entering Wedge" for Suffrage.
This is no entering wedge to-
ward votes for women, either. There
is no politics in our attitude. Here it
is very simply expressed: We con-
slider that women, as a rule, have
more leisure than men, who are al
most invariably we'll occupied in
earning a living There are certain
departments of city work where time
must be spent in order to achieve any
| thing worth While--time and a lot of
patience and attention to detail.
"These boards and committees are
particularly eXacting in that respect
schools, parks and Fairgrounds, Ii
braries, health and sanitation. hospi-
tails and charities.
Real Service Promised.

ing too much to the clubwomen Of
