A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION

A concurrent resolution to amend
the constitution making women eli,
gible to be superintendent or trustees
of the state, county and municipal
educational and charitable institu-
tons in this state, is one measure that
will most assuredly be introduced and
pressed for passage by our next
Legislature. The language of the
proposed amendment is as follows:
"a woman eligible under the con-
stitution to the office of state librarian
is eligible to be state, county or
municipal superintendent or trustee
of any state educational, eleemoSyn-
airy or charitable institution and Of
any school, college or other educa.
tional institution supported in whole
or in part by state, county or NUM-
cipality."
This measure has received the en-.
dorSement of the women's organiza,
tons of the state and of a large
number of thinking men. Women
serving on Boards and as Superin.
tendents Of Education is no innova-
ton. They have been serving for
years in a large number of States.
Among them our neighboring states,
Alabama and Tennessee have made
women eligible for those positions.
Mississippi women are of the same su-
perior type as those recognized by
Alabama, Tennessee and other states
and this amendment removing their
disabilities should receive the support
Of every Mississippi man. OF their
fitness, let Governor Hodges Of
Earsas speak:
We have appointed t%wenty-one
women upon boards and at the heads
of State Institutions" the Governor
said, land we did not require u law

the United States that have women

their work far more effectively than
the men who preceded them.

ardent workers and from the
number of inquiries made con,
corning the plans for this
Christmas, one thing is certain,
that the public is looking for.
ward to this event.
The idea is simply to have all
the citizens as friends come
closer each to the other on the
night when Christ was born, to
forget selfish individual cele-
bration in the homes or in the
churches, and to bring together
the whole community to re-
member the faith by which the
world lives and hopes and is
happy.
A magnificent Christmas
Tree, transported from the hills
of dear old Mississippi, will
grace the Court House Lawn
with its presence and many
colored lamps will decorate its
branches. An elaborate pro-
gram is being planned includ-
ing The Grammar School Chill
dren, The Band and several
short talks bringing out the
true spirit of Christmas.
