MRS. BLANKENBURG
PROPOSED AS MEMBER
OF EDUCATION BOARD
Wife of the Mayor Among
Women Recommended for
Appointment
FIVE POSTS TO BE FILLED
Mrs. Frank Miles Day, Mrs. Butler
and Mrs. Grice Urged for Pro-
spective Vacancies

Mrs. Rudolph Blankenburg, wife Of thf
Mayor. has been proposed as a member
OF the Board OF Education to fll the va
cancy caused by the death of William
T. Tilden
Mrs Blankenburg is a suffragiet and
member OF various organizations devoted
TO civic upllft She is especially active
in the Public Education Association, 'n
which she has served as a member OF
the board Of directors The most recent
Endorsement Of Mrs. Blakenburg ae a
member OF the Education Board came
today from Miss Sophie G.. Stewart execu-
tive secretary OF the Woman Suffrage
party
The terms Of five members of the board
will expire in November, and prominent
Philadelphia women have been proposed
also to fill these vacancies. Miss Stewart
suggests the names of Mrs. Frank Miles
Day and Mrs Frank ID. Butler.
Mrs. Day is devoted to various move-
ments for social and municipal better
ment. She is the wife of prominent
architect.
Mrs. Butler Is prominent in the affairs
of the Civic Club. Mrs. Edwin c. Grlce
president of the Home and School League
and founder of that organization, has the
support Of men and women in all walks
of life.
Miss Stewart, speaking on the question
of appointing women to the Board of
Education. said:
There is no reason why an educational
administration should be controlled en-
tlrely by one sex. If women are capable
of training their children ir the home. II
they have succeeded in raising them until
they attain the age of years, why
shouldn't they have something to say
about their training in the classroom?
The love of n mother for her child would
manifest itself as much In the matter of
education as It does in home training.
of women to the Board OF
Education isn't so much matter of
fairness to the women. 1t means JUS
