 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 On the fifth page of your paper of Saturday, March 25, an article ap- pears which is misstatement of facts in regard to the recent appoint- ment of a woman on the board of ed- ucation of Birmingham, and which is an injustice both to Mrs. Echols. city, commissioner, head of the de- partment of education and health. and. to the Birmingham League of Women Voters. It stated that in slorsement of a woman member of the school board has received the recom- inendation of all civic, patriotic and educational circles except the League of Women Voters. which unqualified ly denied their approval of such etc.
 The League of Women Voters has always urged the appointment or efection of women on school boards. Immediately following Mrs. Echols' elevation to the office of commission

Later she was vis- ftedi by a committee of the league with a request and resolution urg- ing the appointment of woman.

Exception is taken by the league, however, in expression of the be- lief that previous crusades against vice accomplished little good because by the method pursued these un- fortunates were driven from place to place, inviting attention to the press ing need of an institution where of lenders against the moral and crim- inal codes would be subjected to corrections through employment of principles to inculcate indeals of bet ter and self-respecting citizens.
 Recommendation Is made by the league that more constructive good might be accomplished by seeking to arrive at some tangible solution for the subject that has caused no little concern to law makers in the past from the beginning of civiliza- ton.
 The league appreciates the handi- cap which the department faces, ac- cording to the communication, "by the lack of even one police woman on your staff"

 Resolved, That the executive board of the League of Women Vot- CTS hereby reminds the city commits sion, and especially the commissioner of education. of the necessity of se- lecting duly qualified woman to membership on said board"
 This was delivered to Mrs. Echols by committee of the league. It has been a policy of the League of wom- en Voters to work for measures rather than for individuals Up 70 the present time no person has been indorsed for any office by the league.
 AS individual members we, of course, have our preference. We nat urally feel that preference should be shown to those women who have for many years striven for equal recog- milton of both sexes and our individ ual preferences are for them. but I wish to stress the fact that as an or ganizatlon we do not express prefer erces.
 We have for years urged the ap- pointment of women on the school boards. We are delighted that we have a woman on our board of ed- ucation. and wish we had more of them. We hope to have others serv- ing in the same capacity, and shall urge the appointment of women from time to time until we have equal rep resentation. We are delighted that Mrs. Bell has been appointed, and our or ganization will do anything within its power to help her advance the cause of education and the schools in our great city.
