with the reunion. Delegates from

reunion will be allowed to sit at the
meetings of the convention but the

reunion. Many of the soldiers and
sailors had not returned from the
service and the interest in a state re-
union was not as keen the mas now.

strongly in favor of a general gather
ing that the state organization decid-
ed to hold big reunion in connec-
ton with the annual state convention
this year.

to Group of Brattle-

INTERESTING TALK
ON CITIZENSHIP
Meeting Held in High School Building
Under Auspices of Brattleboro wom-
ans Club, Open to Publc-Women
Must Take Up Larger Duties.

One of the most interesting and in.
structive talks heard by a group of Brat
tlebOro women in many months was
given by Mrs. Nancy Schoonmaker last
evening in the high school building on
New Problems That Await Us.
The speaker, who possesses a command.
ing personality, was especially well quail +
fed to deal with her subject inasmuch
as she has devoted much time and
thought to all matters pertaining to.
citizenship and was placed in charge OF
that work in Connecticut, where 100000
was raised to train the women of the /.
state for their coming obligations. She
also has worked in Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, New Hampshire, and has been
spending this month with the women of
| Vermont. Mrs. Shoemaker was intro
duced by Mrs. H. L. Waterman, president
of the Woman's club, under whose aus
pices she came to Brattleboro
| The most important problem, the
speaker said, Is to know what the gov
|
things which viii bring about these needs.
The first thing for the women to do is to
get an accurate knowledge of the facts
iof government, to study the system of
municipal, state and national govern
ment, TO get an accurate knowledge of
affairs and prepare themselves TO vote
intelligently. She gave a brief resume
of the beginning of the citizenship gath
erings. which were started in New York
about two years ago, when a school of
two weeks was planned and for which
: speakers from practically all walks of
t life were engaged and of the surprising
magnitude of the meetings and interest
and enthusiasm taken. When she began
I her work in Connecticut, she said, she
1 was surprised to find that in the largest
a library in the state no book on the gov
: ernment of the state could be secured
In all the states, she said, she had found
great lack of information available
5 about government.
e ! Mrs. Shoemaker told of the four -day
t citizenship conference conducted in New
. | Hampshire last summer, when between
200 and 800 women were registered at the
state college, the use of which had been
ttendeTed to them, and gave a little idea of
what was thought of the project when it
s closed as compared with the sentiment of
RIGHTEOUSNESS which was attached to it
by some before the conference opened.
: She said it did not matter what the
women have thought heretofore regarding
e the ballot; that is in the past The fran
a chise IS sure to be granted and it is the
II duty OF every woman TO fit herself for
i the job and do the best she can. She
: Ispoke of some of the things the women
are going to do with the privilege given
them. The world is not what it should
i be, she said, and advised the women not
d to go about with feeling that anyone is
e to blame, but to try to solve the prob.
