Marching On!


 The history of womanxind is a story of abuse. For ages men beat, sold. and abused their wives and daughters lks cattle. The Spartan iaother that gave birth to one of her own sex disgraced herself the girl hahy was often deserted in the mountains to starve. China bound and deformed women's feet Turkey yelled their faces. America denied them equal educational advantages with men,. Most of the world still refuses them tho right to participate in government. and everywhere women bear the brunt of an unequal standard of morality.
 But the women are on the march. They are walking upward and on the sunlit plains where the thinking people rule. China has ceased binding their feet In the shadow of the harem Turkey has opened female school. America for half a century has given the women equal edu- eational advantages, and America, we be- lieve, will enfranchise them
