Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 April 1920 — LOCAL SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP [ARTICLE]

LOCAL SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP

To Be Organized Saturday Afternoon at 2:30 in the East Court Room. This being the first year in the history of Indiana in which women will be permitted to vote for a president of the U. S., it is very important that they acquaint themselves with the machinery through which to exercise their franchise intelligently. For this reason a school of citizenship is to be under the auspices of the Democrai women of the community so that any woman who wishes to thus prepare herself for citizenship may do so. The text books used will be those prepared for the State Franchise league and are therefore nonpartisan. These books will be furnished free to any woman wishing to jota the class. We will be pleased to have our Republican friends come and study with us. Speakers of both parties will be asked to address the school from time to time and a question box in which those who differ with us as well as those who agree will be privileged to furnish helpful questions, will be a part of each program. Attorney Mose Leopold will give a short talk on the primary law at Saturday’s meeting. The school will begin promptly at 2:30 and continue just one hour. It is hoped that many country women who are in town on business will attend this meeting. MRS. ALFRED HOOVER, County Chairman. MRS. JOHN I. GWIN, District Chairman.
