e,
therefore be it resolved: 1. That the National League of Women Voters
be urged to make Political Education for the new women voters (but not
excluding men) its first duty for 1920. 2. That the nation-wide plan
shall include normal schools for citizenship in each State followed by
schools in each county. 3. That we urge the League of Women Voters to
make every effort to have the study of citizenship required in the
public schools of every State, beginning in the primary grades and
continuing through the upper grades, high schools, normal schools,
colleges and universities.

The recommendations were: 1. That the League of Women Voters, now a
section of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, be
organized as a new and independent society. 2. That the present State
auxiliaries of the association, while retaining their relationship in
form to the Board of Officers to be elected in this convention, shall
change their names, objects and constitutions to conform to those of
the league and take up the plan of work to be adopted in its first
congress.
