One bill, reft'rring· to a :-tate distril.mtiYe :o;ehonl fund, has hN·n in se \·eral general as~em bl ies in Illinois and has not yet hee n pn:-sf>d. )Irs. Simons told why it is important to pass such a hill. It means that a fund nriginn.ting· in the state treaRury in Illinois will h(' divided among the 12,000 school districts :o;o that thos that need money most will recP ive what is necessnr,\· to bring th e m to the point where they can come to the samE> leYel as other ~clwnl distl'icts. Thinking of it Sf'lfishly, if :o;uch a fund is not c·reated, much more money will lw spent in building houses of <'o rr 'c tio't4;> pe nal institutions, industrial SC'hools and prisons, for if young people are not educated, they will fall into error. Illinois stands forty-:o;econd among- the fortyeight l'tate:;; in the amount it C"ontrihute~ fm· schnol purposel'. Th e motor drin' r~· license bill hM been introduced into thf' general assemhly, but Mrs. Simons :;;aid that unless thE' women of the state Yoiced their interest in the hill it mav fail again. One measure which th'e league is drawing up provides for a ballot reform. If the 1\Ia~snchusetts form of hallot is adopted in Illinois, it would rt>duce considf'rabl~· the :-ize of the ballot. The leag·ue also ad\'ocates removal from the ballot of the office:;; of city clerks, baliffs and county surveyor. The~e shoud be appointive heeau~e th('v · demand technical knowledge. Jur" sen·ice for women is supported :;;trong l~, by the league, which does not want women to be excused from service for any oth e r rea~ons than men are excused. In the federal field, the league and :· great many other organizations support a . bill providing for a department p' education at '\Vashington, and representation in the pn·::;ident's cabinet. The federal goYernment would have no mandatory power o\·er any tate, Mrs. Rimon::; pointed out, but it would make a <'areful study of actua 1 ed u cational condition~ in this country and abroad publishing the data co ll ected. Thus 'states could learn by comparisons.
