Political Education
BY FREDERICK J. HASkIN

ent wards, generally around election
time, when interest is keenest. Chi
cago held one of these courses last
month, to which men and women alike
came, TO acquire information on such
subjects as: Why Men Do Not Vote
What Is the Mater with the Ballot"
Ballot Forms" Nominating Pro
cesses, Your Own Election Laws and
How to Study Them" How Politics
Handles Electoral Machinery"
During some of these courses, if
election time is near. the local candi-
dates are invited to speak at the last
session so that the students may judge
them in the light Of newly acquired
knowledge of politics.
Candidates, il is said, have come to
respect and fear these students of pol
itics. They can not be easily won over
by sob story or by fiery eloquence
They wait patiently for a promise and
platform, and if the candidate goes
off the stage without coming to the
point he generally learns his mistake
at the polls.

platforms rather than smiles has been
a blow to many candidates, but they
have finally accepted the inevitable.
When the League of Women Voters
first sent out questionnaires to New
York candidates asking their views on
certain matters there was indignation
among the aspirants to Office. Many
felt insulted that they should be ques-
, toned so definitely. Less than one
third of them sent back answers.
At the next campaign over half an
swered the questionnaires. And this
fall, when the QUESTIONABLE was late,
several candidates wrote to know. if
the questions were 10 be abolished.
They were not afraid, they said, to an
swer questions, and they wished their
views to go on record. so that there
could be no doubt as to their attitude
on public matters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 20,
School children of Alabama are to be
taught practical citizenship so that
they will grow up TO be intelligent vot-
ers. This is the latest step taken in
the campaign to educate the voting
public
1t is the women, mainly, who are in
sisting that the voter should play poll
tics intelligently They find that the
public is sadly in need of education
along political lines. For years, men
have taken the vote casually. Their
knowledge of voting systems was
based on such facts as they happened
to pick up in conversation with other
men and what they read in newspapers
and magazines.
When so, 900, 600 women were handed
the ballot, a large percentage of them
turned to the nearest man to find out
all about it. and a good many were
disappointed by the meager informa-
ton they could get. SO they stopped
consulting amateur politicians and en-
gagged experts to lecture to them.
The League of Women Voters, which
sponsors the idea of an intelligent
voting body. organized course in citi-
/ II was so successful that the plan of
! having schools in citizenship spread all
I over the country. Already, we are
| told, the league has held literally
! thousands of courses. Pennsylvania
alone has had 600 courses, or schools,
as the league calls them, in the past
| year
! The schools of citizenship were insti-
tuted a year and a half ago, but Of
/ late new impetus has been given to
the project. Educators have begun to
advocate that if schools train for citi-
zenship there must be some practical
courses given. Then, when the newly
| fedged voters are turned loose at an
! election they will know what sort of
power they hold.
Until women agitated this subject,
the League of Women Voters claims,
practical education in the voting and
political systems was not included in
school courses. Such subjects as civics
and political law were taught, but
from an academic standpoint
The league has succeeded in i'm
pressing the importance of courses in
practical politics on a number of col
leges. One professor of political econ
omy at state university endorsed the
plan for schools of citizenship, saying:
THE women have done what the men
should have done 100 years ago-edu.
cate voters.
A College Course
Yale university held its first citizen
ship school last summer. The Alabama
State university held an extension
course in practical citizenship, and II
proved so popular that a lecture
course was given last fall, and two
more are planned.
Alabama is to be the pioneer state
to carry the system one step farther
and introduce similar work into the
grammar schools. The league regards
this as a progressive move and be
lieyes other states will follow.
Not all of the courses are given II

information which voters of the state
wanted
New York was the first state in
which the questionnaires were used.
Now they are a popular institution in
a number of states. Voters who do
not have the opportunity to hear the
candidates can rely more safely on
answers to plain questions than on re-
ports of excited campaign speeches.
New York women also held teas
quiz meetings they were jokingly
called-to which politicians in Office
were invited to come and be ques
toned regarding their attitude on pub
lie affairs. The state Legislators were
especially desired as guests at these
tea parties
The women explained that by asking
questions they did not always mean TO
criticize a mans way of voting on
measure. They simply asked because
they wanted to know reasons and
facts.
Here again, some of the politicians
were glad of a chance to explain their
motives. Others felt that once a man

TO do his best. But, however they felt,
most of the guests saw the wise course
to take when in the presence of sew
eral hundred possible votes.
This insistence on an accounting
from both candidates and Office holders
is an outgrowth of women's entrance
into politics. AS a class, women know
less about politics than men, and they
have set out determined TO remove the
handicap. As a result we have schools

a result of them the League of Women
