Lexington, Ky., Dec.30, 1909.

I was instructed by order of the Committee in
Louisville to submit for your approval the Bill to be oresent—

I stated that

sion to include such a Bill in its educational code. I Shall
see that this agreement is fulfillei. The Eeucstionsl Com—
mission has accepted practically the Bill which we presented
two Sessions ego, onitting, however, the qualification of el—
actors "able to read and write." You remember that I was
instructed in Owensboro to use or omit that as seemed politic.
In View of other educational Bills to he presented by the Con—
mission and of the existent County School Board Bill furnish—

in- a prectic 1 educational qualification, the Commission

deems this clause unnecessary and a possible source of confue

sion,—— in whims I fully acquiesced.

Due to the press in the business of the Educational
Commission, many very long and important Bills having to be
framed, they have not yet this School Suffrage Bill in final

shape. But I expect to have it passed upon at the last meet—

tion of leaflet
it.

I am sorry that it will be impossible for me to accept
the invitation to go to Covington on November 16th. We are ar~
ranging to have our campaign for the remaining funds necessary
for the West End School running from the 10th to the 19th of
Hovember, and it will be impossible for me to be away during
this time. I had hoped to arrange for this campaign somewhere
from the middle to the end of October and have been arranging
my dates to conform to that since last spring, but the young
men who are now taking hold of the thing think it unwise to
have it until the election is over, the “ ‘ November, and
for this fall at any rate, that school I . paramount issue,
and I shall simply have to knock my othe es in the head.

The S ate Conference of Charities and Correction was
arranged in Louisville for the 17th and 18th, and our Tubercu—
losis Association for the 18th. I was to preside at the leg-
islative session of the Slate Conference and the date was fixed
for the State Tuberculosis meeting with a View to my being
there. I shall have to let both of these things go.

important for someone to speak on the school
Covington, — not that there is much to tell

in subject last June to an audience gotten together
of :ne federated clubs m Kiss Luella Boyd at the back of
it,— and she was planning to have me there again this fall so
that undoubtedly there will be a further opportunity of reaching
the same people.

What is importan‘ to my mind, however, is to get the
Equal Rights Association to take at least a thousand, preferably
several thousand, of these leaflet series and have the different
organizations in the State undertake to distribute them. You
understand it is not that I think the series so excellent, but
that it is the only available printed matter we have and, as you
stated to me in the spring, so many more people can be reached
that way than by word of mouth.

Mrs. Lai‘i‘erty might bergetten for this] job, though
will, I hope, be so much engaged with our campaign here also
she can not go at that time. She agreed to go, if no other speaker
could be found, lo a meeting of the Orange in Winchester in Octo~
ber. I declined this because the tentative date we had fired for
our campaign conflicted with it. Now that we have shifted that
date, I may find it possible to relieve' Hrs, Laiferty. She pro»
fers not to go then because of another engagement. The point in
making that address would also be to get the Grange to take hold
of the distribution of the leaflets as you suggested.

I feel sure you will at once conclude that my Irishtown
school work is a small job as compared to the other. I would like
to have a talk with you on the subject for I would like you to
realize how important it seems to me in connection with all our
other work. I am fully convinced that we have advanced the cause
of school suffrage for women in Lexington much more by the actual
wOrk that the women and men together of the Civic League have done
for the schools here than by all the other means, agitation, do,
put together.

I was this year proposed as a candidate on both the Fu~
sion and Democratic tickets by men who were making up the tickets,
I was urged,and the thing was kept open quite a long time, to go
on the Fusion ticket. Please consider this confidential, I men-
tion it because I want you to realize that the reason l-am thought
of as a possible SehoOl Board member is because of my constant
attendance at School Board meetings, my known interest in school
affairs, all of which has come through the actual practical work
of the Civic League to improve the schools,

It has not come at all because of my agitation for
'5’:

woman's rights, woman's page, c,, and very little because of my
agitation for s hool suffrage. To some extent in spite of it,

In fact, one of the men who urged my name on the Democratic tick-
et was Mr. Cassidy, who, as you know, in the bottom of his heart
is really deeply opposed to school suffrage for women. I think,
however, since the "late unpleasantness” Mr. Cassidy is seeing
the handwriting on the wall a little, and he would rather have
had me and Mrs. Harrison, the other woman whom he proposed, on
the School Board than the women who had taken an avowed stand
against him in the last matter.

I i tend as soon as we open up the publicity end of our
campaign for the model school, to make a strong plea on the part
that women are doing in this matter, and especially on the intern
est attested in public schools by the amount women are actually
ready to give out of their pockets to further this enterprise. I
have not yet made up the figures with a view to that end, but I
am pretty sure that a larger amount of the $10,900 so far sub~
scribed has been given by women than by men.

Mr. Sam Clay, of the Commercial Club, who will conduct
our campaign, proposes to have the teams equally divided between
men and women and to pit them against each other. We have not yet

fully determined on this, but it seems a good means of securing

 

 ’ r1

ff 0 .

the rivalry ‘ '“ a necessary eart'of making the tlin3 30. I
am in favor '3 we can secure a sui ficient numoer 01 women,
and I am very much in favor of having the women's team outstrip.

the men's team and of havin3 1t 3et its entritution as largely
as possible irom women.

l‘f we accomplish this job it is going to be a very sig«
nal step in public school adm ance in Kentuckv and it is 3oin3 to
be known eve 7ywhere 11 the State, and the part that women have
borne in it will, I believe, he a consideraole lever on the Legv
islature.

I am sayin3 all this because I want you as a woman and
friend of the woman's cause to have a special interest in the
movement aside from t}_e interest I should naturally expect vou
to have as a citizen 01 LeXi_n3ton Who is interested in the edu«
cation both of girls and boys

We have acted literally on the su33estions you made last
spring, have spent several months in 3ettin3 terms 01' contract be—
tween the School Board and the Civic Lea3ue , and now have these
carefullv draWn Dy laWrers, Sam Wilson and others, signed by the
presidents of both Boards,and the Joint Committee of our choosing
in both cases — selected and ready to choose architects, plans,
site, etc. The arrangement as to the spendin3o t1 0 monev is
also just What we would want - the School Board' s money Spent first
and ours drawn out of the bank only as required.
