 WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 29.- School children of Alabama are to be taught practical citizenship so that they will grow up to be intelligent voters This is the latest step taken in the campaign to educate the vot- ing public.
 It is the women, mainly, who are insisting that the voter should play politics intelligently. They find that the public is sadly in need of educa . ton along political lines. For years, men have taken the vote casually. Their knowledge of voting systems was based on such facts as they hap pened to pick up in conversation with other men and what they read in newspapers and magazines.
 When 30,o0O,Ooo 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 mea- ger information they could get. Sc they stopped consulting amateur politicians and engaged experts to lecture to them.
 The League of Women Voters which sponsors the idea of an intel ligent voting body, organized a course in citizenship at Chicago as an ex- pertinent It was so successful that the plan of having schools in citizen ship spread all over the country Already, we are told, the league has held literally thousands of courses Pennsylvania alone has had 60( courses, or schools, as the league calls them, in the past year.
 The schools of citizenship were in stituted a year and half ago, but of late a new impetus has been giver to the project. Educators have be- gun to advocate that if schools trair for citizenship there must be some practical courses given. Then. wher the newly fledged 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 anC political systems was not included civics and political law were taught but from an academic standpoint.
 The league has succeeded in i'm pressing the importance of courses il practical politics on a number O colleges. One professor of politica economy at state university en iorsed the plan for schools of citi zenship, saying, The women have
