Since women posses the voting privilege and use it,
j they should keep in touch with affairs of local, state and
j national government—if they desire to cast an intelligent
ballot. In answer to the question, “How can I keep up with
! what is going on?” a practical answer comes from the first
I lady of th land, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
if a busy woman will get in the habit of reading first
the headlines and then at least the first paragraph of sub-
j jects in which she is interetsed she can keep track of what
is going on. She should not merely read the report which
coincides with her own point of view but the opposing
point of view and then draw her own conclusions. Every
one puts his own prejudices and own ideas into his inter
pretation of what a public event means, but he should at
least see both sides. It is grand to read but all that is read
should not be accepted without some thought. This is Mrs.
M
Roosevelt’s idea of “keeping up” and it is sensible.
The first lady believes that women have good reason
to watch happenings in national and international
affairs. She believes that these affaire of government ef
fect every home and for that reason they should interest
the mothers as well as the men of the land. Together, they
I make up the citizenry. One vote counts as much as anoth-
I er. If every vote was an intelligent vote, we would have
few ills in government.

Reading is our pathway to more intelligent citizenship.
