Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 November 1907 — Seventeen Women Get Office. [ARTICLE]

Seventeen Women Get Office.

At least seventeen counties in Nebraska will have women filling the office of superintendent of schools after Jan. 1 next, and the number may be increased to a score or more when all the returns are in. Nine of t£ie feminine incumbents will succeed men, while eight are either reelected or will take the place of other women. In Cheyenne oonnty a man has been elected to succeed Mrs. Frances Knox, the present superintendent. This is the only known case where the weaker sex will give place to the stronger.
