W0man's Wider Influence

Woman's rise to greater inf1u-
ence and more effective leadership
has been because of her devotion
to the home and not at the ex.
pense of her home administration,
as the critics of suffrage would
have us believe. A good house.
keeper. a wise administrator of
the home and a mother OF strong
children can convince the world
that her activities for citizenship
and humanity should not be con-
fined to the home.
If the facts were known it would
be found doubtless that the wom-
en- who have made the most of
their opportunities to do their
work we'll at home, studied to|
improve their methods and learned
how to use their influence wisely
and well and have done the most |
for their own homes and for the
community and states in which
they live, The home, in such ex-
amples. is paramount and never
secondary in any consideration for
leadership and for social economic
or political service. Farm and
