How a woman’s vote helpéd
Tom Spellacy When he was
in grammar school
T was when Tom Spellacy was attending grammar school in Hartford“
more than twenty years years ago. 'He had started a little paper called
“School News” to help his widowed mother keep things going for her big
family of ten boys and girls.
Just when the paper was successfully launched, it struck a snag. There
was a rule that no advertising matter could be distributed in the schools.
At first the Board of Education wouldn’t consider changing the rule.
The outlook was mighty dark for the youthful editor.
Then he found a friend. She was the only woman member of the Board
of Education. She liked his pluck. She took his side—and won. ‘
That was the real beginning of a paper unique in the history of journal-
ism, a paper for youngsters entirely run by a youngster, a paper which circu-
lated in every grammar school, every parochial and privateschool in Hartford,
a paper which originated thenew universally adopted idea of saving children’s
eyesight by tinting the walls of school rooms.
It was also the beginning of Thomas]. Spellacy’s career of public service.
Today when the women of America are asking for the right to vote,
Mr. Spellacy hasn’t forgotten what a woman's vote did for him more than‘
twenty yws ago.
. He believes “woman-Suffrage is a rightful privilege that has long been
‘ withheld He neither ignores nor dodges the issue. He meets it squarely as
he has met every other issue in his public life—frankly and sincerely.
