ylsable
Comfortable discussion was at first
tndulged In as to which part OF the

centers therefore In the probable ac-

main issue the voting upon the pro-

The report of President Seth Shepard shows that over $11, 900 has been re- ceiVed by the association, and the schools that have been assisted number eleven, located in the vast Appalachian region sheltering some 100000 mountaineers
 The association has not had sufficient money to warrant the founding of a school, and so far has confined its efforts to aiding industrial schools already es- tablished Subscriptions have been made for special scholarships to the amount Of S1500 Forty-seven chapters of the United Daughters of the Confectionery, several womens clubs and many chapters and ln- dlviduals of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, the Colonial Danes and Kings Daughters have made liberal con tributions. Auxiliary associations have been organized The Alabama auxiliary. Mrs William M. Polk, president has sent about $12O0 to the Camp Hill school.
 The association wishes to increase the facilities for learning domestic work ana handicraft to develop the mountaineer agriculturally to teach him how corn and cotton and potatoes should be plant ed One of the stories often told by Mrs. Gielow recalls what Miss Dromogoole has written about the mountaineer They get up at 3 in the morning and sit and wait for the sun to rise Then they pre- pare the stuff they eat, after which they sit and wait for the sun to go down. The bleal1ness of their lives has been too long passed over as one of the conditions" for which there is no help. Millions have gone for education in the south, but the poor whites In the mountain homes con tinue to be 'chained' by hopeless poverty and ignorance.
 In the reports of the industrial associa- ton it is pointed out that the south gives a larger proportion of her taxes to educa- ton than the eastern and western states, providing for the education of two popula- tions out of the poverty of one.
 In most of the southern states 50 per cent of the revenues for general purposes is appropriated to public education
