Asks Women to Vote
Asks Men 10 Support Women for School
 Board
MI Editor:

Mi Editor
 As the time draws near for election l would mnke the last plea to the woman voters of this town. Not as a suflraglst CT an advocate of equal suffrage, nor yet on "Votes for Wo- men" campaign, but simply that these voters use the privilege of the school vote which the state gave its women less than twenty five yearsgago
 Now n good many men and women dust as intelligent as any sutiragisU are opposed to equal suffrage, but are open and fair minded enough to assert that women should serve on school boards, and this is the question today.
 Next Monday we will have an op- portunity of provingif our interest and heart are with our public schools. The woman candidate, Mrs. Edgar NJ. Warner, needs no foreword or recom- mendation to bespeak her gifts, and to place such woman on the board of directors of our schools is a credit to us all, and desire on our part to add to the personell, of the board. We seek to add our help and influence to the men who have had these matters In charge, knowing that a little mother heart added to the work of the father heart is bound to accrue to the child rens welfare.
 
 The schools are next to the home in point of influencing and moulding a child's character, and when 1t Is real are spent under influences away from the home 1t is only right and natural that parents and interested relatives and friends should be anxious that those who pass on the qualifications of the teachers should have a woman's point of view.
 Again, in the schools of this town over SD per cent. of the faculty are women and how can they be fairly re- presented unless there are women on the board?
 There is universal awakening to the sense of womens responsibilities in school matters, and now that the state has generally adopted this plan of placing women on the school boards, we are only asking what belongs to Us. Above all, do not confuse the school vote with equal suffrage.
 Did say at the beginning this was an appeal 10 the woman voter only2 We'll 1t isn't, for l ask all the men who want growing moral influence of our schools upon the character of yours and others children,ito also be come a factor in their we'll being.
