Do it today. You need them now. that the Socialist party fights for their right to the ballot. The suffrage' battle is hot now, and men and women will read the arguments. Give them Socialist arguments.

Let them understand that we care nothing for the vote for its own sake, but we prize it for freedom's sake. In demanding the ballot for women, we emphasize not sex lines, but class lines. A majority of all women belong to the working class. It is not hard to make them see that economic dependence whether in the household or in the shop, is the basis of the wrongs they suffer. But it is not easy to enlist woman in a political movement unless she is to have full political expression.

The working woman needs the vote. The working class movement needs, the working woman. Let us go after her, you and I and all of us.

As there are so many school teachers It is, necessary for them to become enlightened on the great question of Socialism. Children in the sixth and seventh grades, especially in history can ques tlon the teacher on things going on in our own country. Pupils in the higher grades have a better chance to get the teachers enlightened. It is a very good time to talk about and question the teachers on our government when pupils get into the part of the history about tne continental money and the foreign loans during the American revolution. For instance, when the teacher gets to talking about the continental money and thd oanlcs ask the cause of panics and every question you can think of pertaining to Socialism that will expose the rottenness of this system.

Also eet Into arguments with your school friends but nn J-klo Hom CM vrill flTI SIT OUT AI WfUSIC LOVERS everywhere, whether beginners," advanced pupils, teachers or professional musicians are rejoicing in the fact that through an affiliation with The Quinn-Campbell Conservatory of Music, The Peoples University of The American Woman's League is able to offer to all of its members a complete course of study in music, from the most elementary instruction through to Harmony, Composition, Counterpoint, Fugue and Orchestration. The Quinn-Campbell Conservatory of Music is probably the greatest correspondence school of music in the United States, if not in the world. Among their successes they have three pupils who are at the head of three state universities, one who won the state prize offered for the best musical composition, another who won the national prize for the best article in one of the largest music magazines. A complete course in this Conservatory is offered to all members of The American Woman's League, -as one of the rights of membership. A slight service, only, is required to become a member.

The instruction offered by the Quinn-Campbell Conservatory of Music is the product of a lifetime's study, twenty years of which were spent in London, Berlin, Leipsic, Paris and other musicial centers, and is the fruition of personal association with Sir G. A. Macfarren, Dr. Oscar Paul, Salomon Jadassohn, Manuel Garcia, Franz Liszt and other music giants. Hundreds of pupils of The Peoples University who are'taking this course have written to the Conservatory expressing their astonishment at the thoroughness and beauty of the instruction.

Music teachers are finding in this work a system of instruction that is invaluable so much so that the method of this Conservatory is being adopted in schools, colleges and by private teachers throughout America. Full information about the League and the Quinn-Campbell Conservatory will be gladly sent in response to a post card request.
