STATE OF KANSAS.
Jan. 6, 1914. Editress Suffrage Cook Book: What do I think of woman suffrage? I wrote the resolution in the Kansas Senate submitting the constitutional amendment for it. When I became Governor of Kansas I found a hundred little orphans at our State Orphans' Home, mothered by a man. The little unfortunates at our schools for the deaf and the blind were mothered by men. I placed women at the head of these institutions. Among the other appointees during my term of office was a woman on the Board of Administration, the board having our educational institutions in charge; a woman on the Board of Health; a woman Factory Inspector; a woman Parole Officer; a woman on the State Text Book Commission; two women on the Board of Education, and women physicians at our state hospitals. In every instance these women gave the State of Kansas better service than did the men whom they succeeded. The women of Kansas have "arrived" and the state service is better by their participating in it. Cordially yours,
George H. Hodges.
Governor. | Governor George H. Hodges |
Cooking takes a little training and a great deal of common sense.
