Suffragist and educator,
Caroline Ruutz-Rees, created the National Junior Suffrage Corps in 1914. The
National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) raised funds to help recruit interested members. The motto was "Youth Today, Tomorrow Power." Activities of the group included assisting suffragists with various projects, such as acting as assistants during
lectures or getting signatures for
petitions. An all-boys group was started in
Lexington, Kentucky. The badge of the Junior Suffrage Corps was designed by artist
Elmer MacRae. == See also ==
