Classes in Citizenship for Women Such a Good Idea, Maybe They Should Be Offered to Men, Too, Oct. 23, 1919

From the editorial page of The Alamance Gleaner, Graham, N.C., Oct. 23, 1919

The bureau of extension of the University of North Carolina is working out a series of studies in citizenship for women in anticipation of the enfranchisement of women. Local, State and national government will be embraced in the series of studies. Good enough as far as it goes, but what about men—the lords of creation? Are men born full-fledged with all the necessary qualifications for managing governmental affairs? It is suspected that woman’s intuition in a large way surpasses man’s boasted mental superiority. Why not a course for men to fit them for the exercise of citizenship?
