petent instructor In the person Of
Mrs. Max Mayer. will have charge
of the school.
During the Citizenship School

Ideals, State Boards and Commits
lsions, Municipal Government, The
Primaries. The Elections, and will

excited great interest and comment
wherever II has been given, called
Madam, Who Keeps Your Homer"
There Is much interest manifest
ed In the coming Of Mrs. Mayer. A
number of our citizens feel the ne
cessity OF such a school and have
given 1t their undivided support.
Below we give the opinions Of some
of our citizens:
The average American citizen Is
mot we'll informed in the duties and
welfare of our democracy depends
upon the intelligence and integrity
LOT its citizens. Therefore it seems
to me that an opportunity to study
citizenship with a non-partisan ex-
lpert Is privilege to any voter or
prospective voter and II an especial
one to the American women at this
time when the right OF franchise has
Just been given to them.
M. M. McIntire,
Supt. Of Schools.
Since universal suffrage has been
granted. it is incumbent on every
woman to exercise her franchise.
and to do It intelligently. There
fore, I believe that the School of
Citizenship, to be held in Audubon
on Nov. 8, 9 and 10, under the able
Iowa City. should De attended by
every woman in the county, who can
make 1t possible to do so. This will
be the easiest, pleasantest and best
manner of getting a knowledge Of
governmental affairs.
Harriet M. Bilharz.
The newly enfranchised citizens
OF Audubon county ought to well
come the opportunity to attend the
School of Citizenship to be held here
Nov. 3, and 10, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Max Mayer. In order
to become intelligent and useful
citizens in the community we ought
to embrace every opportunity to be-
come posted on all questions rela-
tive to the wise use of the ballot.
The technique of voting is simple

more about our new privileges, in
order to make our influence for bet

tons.
Margaret G. Arnold.
Mrs. Edward Bilharz, upon being
interviewed, says: 1.-THE School
will not attempt to touch party at
filiation. 1t Is purely educational,
leaving the pupils to make their
own party choice. Many women,
new to the sudden turn of affairs.
are puzzled over the actual machin-
cry Of politics. and even those who
have taken an interest in public
matters, want now to perfect this
knowledge of the duties which now
confront them" The School of Cit
izenship is for this purpose, and Is
open to all women OF the county. II
you can't attend all sessions. attend
at least some OF them.
consider the Citizenship School
which will be held by Mrs. Max
Mayer, of Iowa City, at the Library
on November 8, 8 and 10, a progress
sive movement, and believe that
those who avail themselves of the
opportunity to attend will find the
time we'll spent.
Mrs. Jno. Wagner.
Pres. Women's Club.
Mrs. Frank McFadden, President
Of Columbian, says, upon being in
Audubon is very fortunate to Sc
cure Mrs. Max Mayer in the School
of Citizenship. She is among the
most prominent women of Iowa,
and her time is in constant demand.
Last week she was one of the speak
ers at the Parent-Teachers Associa-
ton of the state. in Des Moines. and
this week talks to the Teachers As
ISOLATION, at Des Moines. 1t was
only after much insisting that she
was obtained for Audubon"
Mrs. Lewis Bagley. President OF
P. Z. o. Chapter in Audubon. says:
EFF Mrs. Max Mayer of Iowa iCty.
Is talented enough to be chosen to
speak to the Des Moines Women's
Club ON the subject of Better Cit
ship surely we should take adj
vantage of the privilegeee of hear
ing her discourses on the same topic
on Nov. 8, 3 and 10, inclusive. Let
us show our appreciation by splen7
did attendance" v
Rev. VIM. Mack says: THE
present day is one in which every
thinking person should exercise the
privileges accorded by the common
wealth. Many are unacquainted
with the rights and duties OF citi-
zenship. Some who have enjoyed
freedom of the franchise have not
known just how the franchise at
fected them. Since the Nineteenth
to the Constitution has
been ratified, women have como
into their rightful position as mans
helpmate. and not Just as a help
meet. In order that all may thor
onghly understand and rightfully
use their privileges, Citizenship
School is to be held Nov. 8, 9 and 10
in the Library basement. Men and
women are cordially invited. and
should attend this school, SO that
their citizenship may be always
rightfully held and the duties
thereof faithfully performed"
