Through the State Woman Suffrage Association and the Baltimore City
Club much educational work was done from 1900 to 1910 in the way of
public and parlor meetings. The pictures of suffrage leaders were
placed in the public schools. The History of Woman Suffrage and the
Life of Susan B. Anthony were given to public libraries. Boys and
girls were trained for suffrage debates and prizes given for essays.
Subscriptions were solicited for _Progress_ and the _Woman's Journal_;
press work was pushed; opportunities were sought to speak before all
kinds of organizations and there was a wide distribution of suffrage
literature. Handsomely engrossed resolutions were presented in 1902 to
Senator Jacob M. Moses in appreciation of his having introduced the
bill in the Legislature to permit women to practice law in Maryland;
and to Miss Maddox, the first to be admitted to the bar, a gold pin
bearing the State coat-of-arms as an expression of esteem for her
onerous work in securing its passage.

In 1906 and thereafter by specially appointed committees suffrage

Federation of Labor asking for its endorsement of woman suffrage,
which was refused.

For 1908 the slogan was, Convert the public school teachers. To this
end a mass meeting was held in Baltimore with Miss Grace C. Strachan,
a district superintendent of the public schools of New York; the Rev.
Olympia Brown of Wisconsin and Mrs. Emma Smith Devoe of the State of
Washington as speakers. Mrs. Funck attended tri-county conventions of
teachers, speaking on woman suffrage and distributing 5,000 leaflets.
Three women attended the hearing before the House Judiciary Committee
of Congress in the interest of the Federal Amendment, Mrs. Funck
addressing the committee. Independence Day was observed by a parade
and street speaking by Mrs. Colby, Mrs. Timanus and others.

In 1911 the first debate on woman suffrage took place before the Men's
Club of the Harlem Park Methodist Church, Mrs. Funck taking the
affirmative side against two members of the Anti-Suffrage Society,
Mrs. Francis T. Redwood and Mrs. Haslup Adams. The foll
