INTEREST IN MILL CHILDREN

The first fall meeting of the trustees of the s. I. l.. association will be held in Washington al the residence of Judge Seth Shepard, on Saturday. September 2S. Mrs Lowre Bell vice president will come all the way from Cazenoria, N. Y. to attend the meeting. Mrs. Martha Gel low president general of the association, will also be present. having returned from her Chautauqua engagements.
 The association mas not been entirely inactive during the hot summer Mrs. GieloW, though detained at the bedside of her son for four months did good work at Jamestown, and during August at the western chautauquas. Mrs. Bell has been constantly at work all summer writing letters. addressing D. A. R. chap ters, and sending out the slips to sub scroers These little slips bespeaking a renewal of the yearly sl.o0 memberships, have been in many instances accompa- nied by personal letter from Mrs. Bell.
 One dollar d year is a small donation to such a cause and it is hoped the re- HeWai Will Dt BidulS anu HlhihoiS SS'S by all who responded last year to the ap- peal of the association. Alabama mem bers have q special reason for sustaining this great work; the founder and organ izer being our own Mrs. Gieow, whose earnest work has brought 10 Alabama many hundreds of times the amount sub- scribed by members in this state. Every Alabama has been used in this state A five thousand dol lar gift was also secured by Mrs. GleioW to build the school hall at Brewton, to be called the Pauline Taylor Hall, for the donor, where the association had already placed about four hundred dollars Tn scholarships to assist Rev. J. M. Shofher in the hard struggle and grand work he is doing to give a chance to the illiterdte white girls of that part of the state.
 A fifty dollar scholarship was also placed at Camp Hill, which school has since been aided to the amount of two thousand dollars or more, by the Ala bama auxiliary, organized by Mrs. Gielow and of which Mrs William Polk of New York is president
 The Huntsville Educational Circle, or ganized by Mrs. Peasants, as auxiliary to the S. I. E. A, is in itself a living cY- idence of what the association has in spired. The night school for mill children at Huntsville, supported by this circle, is a credit to the state. and a blessing to the poor little hopeless toilers in the pittess mills.
 1t cannot be denied that Mrs Gielow's earnest addresses before the clubs ana federation in Alabama last year did much to arouse to greater activity and interest the noble workers in the state Tor the betterment of rural schools, and the up liftment of the uneducated, and Alabama members and clubs will no doubt stand by the movement by sending in prompt ly their dues for 1907. One dollar a year will not impoverish any one, and it is hoped the people Of the South will realize the opportunity to aid in this crusade against illiteracy and stand together for enlightened citizen ship.
 Congressman Hobson is an elector Of the association and his campaign for ed- ucation in the Sixth district last spring will doubtless be followed by splendid re- suits For this awakening is not just 'yawnng and stretching" from long sleep, but mighty realization of condi- tions too serious to longer neglect. In dustrial education is necessity for the future development of our people. Let us give every bod and girl in our state a chance; let us give a hand to the neg lected manhood and womanhood of our illiterate and uplft the forgotten white children of the mountains
