FOREIGN NOTES Austrian Council of Women The Austrian Council has existed; about seven years; its growth has been gradual but continuous and it now in— cludes fifty associations. These are largely local bodies and the greater num— ber of them are in Vienna, but the "Council Idea” is bccoming better known and organizations in Prague, Graz, Czcrowitz and Brunn have come into membership within the last two; years. From the Report to the last Bicn—f nial held at Vienna in May, we see that these Austrian women are reaching out1 toward freedom and are working strenu—j ously to help humanity and especially. the fcmininic portion of it. 1 Among the lines of work apportionch by the Biennial of 1905 to its official; board and its committees are the follow— I and girls of 16. ing: to try to secure the enactment of bills for the insurance of household ser— vants,—the protection of children and youth,—reform in the marriage laws,— laws relating to women in the indus- tries,—to better the economic conditions for governesses,—to secure temperance instruction in schools and in Normal in- stitutes—the admission of women as teachers in Secondary schools for Boys, —opening of Trades Schools for girls,— secure changes in existing laws relating to the family, to inheritance, guardian— ship and the property earned in mar— riage,—to better the laws relating to un- married mothers and their children,—to secure the establishment of a govern- ment school of cooking and house—keep- ing. All these things were part of the regular work of the Council in addition to. its Standing Committees on Peace and the Press. Special committees were formed to secure improvements in the conditionsvunder which midwives work, —to investigate and report to the Inter— national Council of Women the condi—' tions of living, and working in which the Austrian people are found today and upon their food,—and also to report to the International Council the present in— stitutions of education open to women and girls. Of course the Austrian Council did not succeed in all or nearly all of its endeav- ors, but it surely made a valiant attempt at it! Its leaders and the chairmen of its various committees (by the way it numbers Baroness Bertha Suttner among them as chairman of its Committee on Peace) interviewed Imperial Ministers and Commissions of various sorts, pre— sented its petitions in person when pos— sible, otherwise by messenger, attended the congresses for reforms of all kinds held in Vienna and made the influence of the Council of Women felt on all sides. They rejoice in the appointment of women as School Inspectors (for Girls’ Schools, and one woman as a Factory In— spector, and consider these the entering wedge for women in the Arts and Trades Schools. Because of the Austrian laws forbid— ding women to organize for political purposes, the Council’s constitution ex— pressly states that politics is not to be discussed, yet when the President of the International \‘Voman Suffrage Al— liance, our own Mrs. Chapman Catt, went through Vienna in company with Dr. Alctta Jacobs (the Netherland Suf- frage President) on their way to Hun— gary to speak, the officers and many members of the Austrian Council joined the Woman Suffrage Committee which was organized at the time and helped mightily to make a success of the woman suffrage meetings at which the two dis- tinguished visitors spoke. When the women were forbidden to organize a woman suffrage “association” they whip— ped the devil round the stump by their woman suffrage “Committee,” which did valiant service. If the Council had joined as a body, it might have found it— ‘self disbanded by order of the govern- ‘ ment! iunder which radical work is pursued by Such are the hard conditions women in Austria, yet they devote them— :selves to it with enthusiasm and the lit— tle bi-monthly paper which is the organ of the Council published full and detailed reports of the suffrage meeting and the large petition which was rolled up by the suffragists even in the face of the government’s bitter opposition. This brief account of the work and the efforts of the Austrian Council of \Vomcn would surely be incomplete with no mention of their petition to the De partments of the Interior and of Justlce in which they made the following de- mands: (1) Suppression of all licensed brothels. (2) Severe punishment of the \Vhitc Slave traffic and the matrimonial agencies. (3) Raising of the age of pro- tection for girls to 19 years. (4) Obliga— tory teaching of sex information to boys (5) Improvement in the care of the young and exact administra— tion of judicial control of minors. At the same time the women of the Council recognized that even should they succeed in getting all that-they de— manded, one thing more must be added, i. e. they must see to it that the doors are opened to the trades and professions so that young women can earn an hon- orable livelihood. When so many of their efforts,-—nay, when almost all of them are in the direc— tion of, demanding better laws, it will not be Ion}; before the mass of these active women. as well a. stheir leaders, see that their own all—present need is for enfran— chisei’ii‘mt. They have the courage of their convictions, these foreign women; they are not afraid to call a spade a spade, nor, when their eyes are opened to the value of the ballot, will they be afraid to demand it. RACHEL FOSTER AVERY. WOULD STRIKE EVIL AT ITS ROOT In reply to a request for co—operation' in its child rescue campaign the Women’s Trade Union League of Illinois writes to the Delineator as follows: We regret that through the action taken by the proprietors of your maga— zine co-operation on our part has been rendered impossible. There is no stronger protector of the homes of the thousands of wage earning men and women in our country than the trades unions. The determination of the pro- prietors of “The‘Delineator” to refuse the legitimate demand of the printers for the eight-hour day allies them with those who, whether through ignorance or intent, attack the homes of the children of th!’ Let us ask you to consider whether it is not fairer as well as wiser to protect the home of the child rather than help him find another home after his own has been taken from him? How many fath- ers are lost to their children and how often is not the home- broken up by frightful industrial accidents due to un- protected machinery, by occupational dis- eases, especially tuberculosis,—the latter of such frequent occurrence among printers,—by the long hours and the low wage in most trades? How many moth- ers are lost to their children and the home destroyed by the fearful economic struggle they have to face? And what of those trade which put such a strain upon the physical organization of women that a brief service precludes the possibility of motherhood? As long as industrial conditions re— sult in the child without a home as well as the home without a child, we can only meet our responsibility by refusing to countenance such conditions and by allying ourselves with the organization of trades unions which above all others is trying to rectify these conditions. All thinking people everywhere unite in recognizing the moral and social welfore behind the demand for fair conditions, an eight—hour day and a living wage. Very sincerely, . l 3., - .. ..l .1 I'VUIJLAIIS “Okra. (Signed) IVIARGARET DREIER ROBINS, President.

For this reason we are able to give little definite information at this date. In Hamilton three women'were elect- ed to the School Board, pribably the first time that so many women have been elected to'the same Board at a single election. In London 250 women voted and Mrs. Esta Coover Harvey, a sister of our State Corresponding Secretary, was elected to the Board of Education. Miss reports that women voted in large numbers in the smaller towns in Madison county and that the total wom— an vote in that county exceeded 600. There was a woman candidate in Piqua but at this writing the result of the election there has not been learned. In Girard Mrs. Blanche Crandon Cati- field was elected—the first woman candi- date ever presented in that town. Up— wards of 200 women voted. In Youngstown more women voted than ever before. The men say the num— ber, of women voting was 300, the women aver that it was 500. There was- no woman candidate but the women as a whole are well satisfied with the men who were elected. A large number of candidates were in the field and the fact a Republican, a Democrat and an Inde- pendent were elected gives evidence that schoool elections are being taken out of " politics. In Cleveland there were two women candidates nominated by the Socialists. The newspapers reported that each re— ceived upwards of 6,000 votes but the number of women who voted in the city has not been given. In Warren where there was but one ticket in the field, the candidates being members of the present Board and pre- sented again by petition, and therefore not a shadow of a contest, a consider- able number of women voted. In Niles where 100 women voted at the Republican primaries and thus help- ed to choose the members of the Board, Niles being overwhelmingly Republican at all times, a large number of women voted, including many who had not voted at the primaries. i In Cincinnati some excellent educa— tional work was done. Mrs. Margaret Doane Bigelow, a member of the local and State Suffrage Associations, was a ward candidate as an Independent. She received 303 votes. The Republican can— didate in her ward was elected and is rc—i ported as being well qualified for the po-; sition. In another ward in the same city. 151 women voted and helped to elect a, splendid man. A prominent Ohio politician while making a call at Headquarters said that 900 voted intense interest . really being where the : the dismissal, l present school} held the? position nearly 30 years. The party dc— fcatcd blames the women because of, their heavy vote and the party victorious thinks the women played little part in it. While the women are censured on the Kent, shown, women in was question or retention of the superintendent who has ‘one hand and not praised on the other, the fact remains that a vote of 900 is al woman suffrage victory. ‘ Cleveland and Cincinnati are the larg-: est cities in Ohio and in Youngstown also registration is required. The fact that women did vote in these cities gives. the lie to the silly story which has been circulated by the press outside the state to the effect that “woman suffrage in Ohio has received a set back in the dc-‘ cision of the Attorney General which; declares that women who present them-l selves for registration must give their‘ ages just as men voters must do.” ‘ The recent elections were the first held? under a new law which provides that the: names, of all candidates for members of the board of education of any school dis- trict in the State, however nominated, shall be placed on one separate and dis— tinct ballot, without any designation whatever, and that the names shall be ar— ranged in different alphabetical order on different series of ballots. The purpose of the law is to take school elections out of party politics and in effect provides an educational qualification for voting. ELIZABETH J. HAUSER, Chairman State Press Committee. PRACTICAL WOR K 3 Of New York League of Seif-Sup- porting Women Last summer Governor Hughes ap- pointed a Charter Revision Commission for New York City which Commission is to expire December Ist. The Commis- sion considered its life too short to think of revising the Charter of Greater New York and so decided to place before the Governor problems as to the city gov- ernment., The chairman of this Com- mission is Mr. William M. Ivins, .whose name is well and favorably knownto suf- fragists outside New York as well as within the city. Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch and eight other members of the League of Self Supporting Women de- cided that the women of the city must not let such an opportunity for pressing their claims go by. They, therefore, framed a letter, setting forth their de— sires, and solicited signatures. They were marvelously successful although they had only four days in which to do the work after definite action was decided upon. Among the signers of the petition are Dr. Felix Adler, Rabbi Wise, Dr. John P. Peters, Father Chidwick, Clar— ence Lexow, Dean Ashley of the Law' Scliuul, Dr. Daniel, iicat‘i‘uf (lie—diff dren’s Infiramary, Simon Flexnor of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Re- search, Walston Brown, Mr. Saterlee, son-in-law of J. P. Morgan, Col. George Harvey, Mr. Slossen of the Independent, Oswald Garrison Villard, Mark Twain, besides many women prominent in the best life of the city. It will thus be seen that the church, the learned professions and big business all sympathize with and seem willing to lend a hand in this ef— fort. The petition which follows was presented to the Commission in session at the City Hall by Mrs. Harriet Stan— ton Blatch and Mrs. Maud Nathan. That they were accorded a courteous hearing goes without saying: :To the Charter Revision Commission: Gentlemen :— In response to your request for the views of citizens on the organization of the educational system of Greater New York, we beg as representatives of a large section of the community to sub— mit certain suggestions. In considering the advisibility of em- bodying these in your recommendations to the Governor for amending the Char— tcr, we beg you to remember that as- mothers and teachers women stand near— er the life of the child than any other Imembers of society, that in the villages lof our State women have used their privilege of school suffrage with signal ,benefit to the children, and that in sec— ond class cities women have been placed on the-Boards of Education by the suf— frages of their‘fellow citizens, their re— peated re—election marking the commun- ity’s approval of their service. \Ve would further beg you not to over— look the fact. that in Brooklyn when it . was a separate city. the Mayor appointed five women on the Board of Education and that consolidation has meant to that Borough the loss of the services of these efficient women citizens. Based on such experience. our sugges— tions are that if your Commission con— 1clude to recommend that the Board of Education remain appointive you will also recommend that it be made manda- tory for the Mayor to place a fair pro— portion of women on that Board, or if your decision is to recommend an elec— tive Board we beg you will add the recommendation that women be included in the electorate. Respectfully yours, &c— The women trust that their claim will be presented by the Commission to the Governor, and future developments are awaited with interest, ‘I PROGRESS PROGRAMS FOR LOCAL CLUBS Beginning with this number Progress will publish a monthly program for local clubs. We shall endeavor to make these programs so simple that no difficulty will be experienced in finding material for them and at the same time we shall aim to make them of practical use. Club presidents and members must exert themselves, however, to find the answers to questions suggested and to prepare themselves on the subjects for discus- sion. Headquarters cheerfully under— takes the task of supplying these pro- grams for 1908 but it cannot do the Clubs’ work too. The following program is suggested as No. I, new series: I. Quotations on woman suffrage from American statesmen—by all mem— bers present. '2. W hat is the area of the United States? How many States and Territor- ies are there? 3. How is the President of the United States elected? How many Presidents have we had? 4. \Vhat are the qualifications, duties, powers, salary and term of office of the President? 5. \Vhich Presidents have been be~ lievers in woman suffrage? 6. How many persons compose the President's cabinet? Name the present Cabinet Members. 7. \Vhat is Congress? 8. What are the duties of Senators, of Representatives? What are their sal— aries and terms of office ? Subjects for Discussion I. Oklahoma—the new State. 2. Should United States Senators be elected by direct vote?

Miss Anthony’s Life Readers of Progress will be interested} to hear that Mrs. Ida Husted Harper has practically completed the manuscript of the third volume of the Life and \Vork of Susan B. Anthony. It has been my privilege to read the type—writer's proof with Mrs. Harper and I can assure those who know and love the history of Miss Anthony‘s life that this final volume is on the same high plane as the first two-— that. though they were written in Miss Anthony's home and with her constant eo—operation and this has had to be done without such help, it is, like more nearly an auto—biography than any other story of a life written by other than the one who lived it. I confess that this has been a surprise even to me, and I li“.C\V that Mrs. Husted Harper had become to Miss Anthony, in the later years of her life. the one who could best express her thought for her on paper. Any who have wondered or have‘ _ to take it. feared that perhaps this ending of the wonderful story of a great life might possibly lack something of the spirit of the volumes which brought the history up to 1900, may look forward to a great pleasure in store in the perusal of Vol— ume III. It is the chronicle of Miss An— thony's years of recognition and the tri- umph of her vonderful personality both at home and over the sea; it is more in— teresting than any romance could possi— bly be. It was hoped that the book would be ready for Christmas but that is not to be; the best we now expect is that it will be ready for delivery by Miss Anthony’s birthday, February 15, ’08. It will be sold by the National Headquarters and orders can be sent there in advance. It would be entirely possible to give it as a Christmas present, to be delivered later; at least this occurs to me to be entirely proper among suffragists. The exact lCook County and a very busy woman. them, ‘ price can not now be stated but it will not be more than the cost of the other volumes, i. e. $2.50. It is not published for profit but to complete the wonderful record of a life devoted to the cause of women with a singleness of purpose un- matched in the history of our movement.
