$l,ooo FOR SCHOOLS
PEABODY FUND ALLOWS MONEY
 FOR ALABAMA.
Superintendent Hill of Department ol Education ln Considering a Plan
 Co BuGld RWRaI School
 HNuMNm.

A Check for $1,00O for rural schools in Alabama was yesterday morning re- ceived by State Superintendent of Ed- ucations I. w. Hill from Samuel A. Green, general agent of the Peabody fund of New York.
 This is the first gift to the Alabama Educational Department from the Pea body fund for specific appropriation. The amount. in some manner, must be distributed exclusively for the benefit of the rural schools of the State. Annually the Department of Education receives a general quota--lAst year se.50O--from the Peabody fund along with other Southern States but the use is Confined by the donors only to the advancement of general educa- ton in Alabama. A.s
 Superintendent Hin will choose be- htween two plans of disbursing the &l. 900 to the rural school interests. He Is considering the plan Of making an investment of the money in a way that will induce the patrons of the rural schools to erect more buildings The State would offer $50 to a com munity or district. for. instance. to be used in a new $40O school building, the people to be benefited being re- quired to furnish the remaining cost of $35o.
 The other plan of the State superin- tendent is provided by law. This is the carrying on of what would be known as Congressional Institutes. The State of Alabama authorizes Sup erlntendent Hill to draw on the State Treasury for amounts under $500 equivalent to outside donations for the Congressional Institutes.
 If Superintendent Hill decides to in- troduce institutes in the nine Con- gresslonal districts he can use $50a of the States funds provided he uses that much of the Peabody fund for the same purpose. The Congressional Institutes consist of institutes at which in each district expert teachers or lec- turers are employed to present the most approved methods of instructions and principles of education. ~

Prison Cannot Stripe Him.

On the theory that examples of
bravery and self-sacrifice minister
to the betterment. of the human
race, the unusual story of Rollin
Ellison, banker, of La Grange,
Ind, and that of his family, de-
serves a wide publicity.
Ellison's bank failed because its
proprietor had more than his share
of civic spirit. He took a great
pride in the growth of his town,
and to help along its prosperity
went into about every new enter
prise that was proposed. He got
in too deep. Realizing that he
had violated the banking laws, he
voluntarily pleaded guilty and is
serving a short term in the peni-
Tertiary.
Ellison gave up every dollar to
his creditors. His wife relin-
pushed her private fortune.
That is rather unusual to begin
with.
Now Mrs. Ellison is housekeeper
in a summer resort hotel. Hell son
is porter and chore boy and her
two daughters r walters on table.
The boy gives up college and the
girls society.
Uncommon.
But there is another pretty story
coming.
Years ago Banker Ellison helped
a young man whom everybody
said was "no account" The
young man went West and got
rich. When Mr.. Ellison's bank
failed the young man came to La
Grange and offered his benefactol
half of his fortune, and begged
him to take it. Ellison said:
81 have violated the law, though
with no bad intention. / will take
my medicine. My family is a
brave one. We will pull through
and start again"
Anything finer than that? No,
sir; not even in Plutarch's lives.
Prison stripes can leaven no mark
on that sort of a man. And there
can come no shame of such a hus-
band and father, even though he
be in the penitentiary.
And that family! It's worth 60
ing to purgatory and back again
to discover such a wife and chill
dren.-St. Louis STAR Chronicle.
