preparing for citizenship.
Many clubs in the state that have
been devoting themselves for years to
the study Of equal suffrage and how
best to work for II are now reorganix-
ing to study the problems Of govern
ment and how to teach women to take
an intelligent part in it.
A movement is on foot to interest
all women's organizations in the state
to Join with those that were formerly
suffrage study clubs in an effort to
help women citizens live up to their
coming responsibilities.
The Vermont Equal Suffrage Asso-
citation, soon becomes automatically

ers founded last March to take the
place of the National American Wo-

for it.
The state organization is planning
to unite in this educational work with
several other New England states In
order to have access to the best teach
ers and speakers on his subject.
Many women formerly opposed to
having the vote are joining hands with
the suffragists and pledging their as-
