4 Big PROJECT
FOR EDUCATION
American Interchurch College for Re-
iisious and Social Workers is Title
Of. New Institution.

Nashville, Tenn, March 25.-The
American Interchurch College for Re-
ligious and Social Workers-the first
Institution of the kind in Americas
to be established in Nashville at an
early date. The new institution has
already been Incorporated, but under
an agreement among those interested,
nothing was given out to the public
until the organization was perfected.
Many of the leading educators, law
yers, ministers and business men of
the South are behind the movement
and their names appear on the di-
rectorate, as does also that of Rev.
Josiah Strong, who is known all over
the country.
The necessary funds are placed at
81 100000 and the directors assure the
public that number of the best
known millionaire philanthropists in
the United States have signified their
intention of supporting the movement
financially.
The board OF directors are compos-
ed of the following we'll known men:
President, James d. Blanton; presi-
dent of Ward Seminary; vice presi-
dent, G. C. Savage, M. D., president of
the Christian Union of Nashville;
recording secretary, John H. Dewitt ;
general secretary, j. E. Mccullough,
president of the Methodist Training
School; James H. Kirkland. chancel-
lor of Vanderbilt University; Ira Lam
drith, president of Belmont College !;
Allen G. Hail. dean of Vanderbilt Law
School; Charles S. Martin, wholesale
druggist, Nashville; John r. Pepper,
banker, president Laymens Mission

Established in Nashville.

1t is the purpose of the directors to
establish in Nashville-the heart of
the South--a really first-class institu-
.tion for the training of specialists in
moral, social and religious leadership,
and to this by relating the school to
the churches. They expect by the
general plan on which the institution
is to be run that UNCONVENTIONAL ex-
penses will be reduced to minimum,
while educational efficiency will be in
creased to maximum.
1t is a fact that at the present time
there is not in the South any school

directors feel that the South is decid-

this regard, and it was because of the
great need that the new institution
was Incorporated.

their little boy were deprived Of many
of the comforts of life that the bulk
of his earnings might go to his credi-
tors. The house in which they lived
was a roomy old mansion on the out
skirts OF the city, left to Philip by a
maiden aunt, who had passed away
since the death of his father, and
to sell. This house, by the way, had
originally belonged to an eccentric old
sea captain, jeremiah Suggs by name,
who was reputed to be something OF
a miser, and who lived and died re-
cluse.
The GROWING calamity came to
Philip Draper when the debt was all
but cleared OF. It was then he was
.overtaken by a wasting illness, which
kept him confined to his bed for al
most a year, and leaving him desti.
tute. The butcher and the baker
threatened to deny him further
credit, and his home was heavily
mortgaged. The outlook was gloomy.
And tomorrow Is Christmas, he re-
marked to his wife, with q grim smile.
Never mind, dear; let US hold fast
to our courage" said Mrs. Draper,
trying to speak cheerfully, though
there was an ominous quaver in her
voice.
What hurts me most Is the
thought that Christmas is SO close
at hand and that there will be no
Santa Claus for Bobby"
Poor, little DEAR" said Mrs. Draper.

cations"

and, as he opened the chubby fingers,
revealed twenty-dollar gold piece ly-
ing on his upturned palm.
Money!" gasped Philip. He snatch
ed the coin and examined 1t critically.
Where did you get this? What
does 1t mean?"
81 found it in the attic," explained
Bobby. There are lots more there.
Come on, I'll show you where"
The next moment the father and
mother, each grasping a hand of the
frightened youngster, were Fastening
up the stairs. When they reached the
attic the whole astounding truth was
laid bare to them. Bobby had been
rummaging, as usual. Finding a loose
brick in the crumbling masonry of the
big chimney, he had pulled 1t out and
made startling discovery.
Il wanted to find out how Santa
Claus comes down the chimney" said
the boy, regretfully. 81 didn't mean
to do any harm"
An exclamation from his father in.
lterrupted him. Philip, tearing away
the bricks to enlarge the opening, had
thrust his arm into the cavity and
drawn forth two small boxes, accom-
panied by a shower of yellow coins.
Among them was scrap of paper on
which was written:
Il have no heirs, no kith nor kin.
THIS property goes to the finder, and
may he enjoy 1t. 1t consists of $780,
900 in gold and government bonds,
and twice that amount in gems.
JEREMIAH SUGGS."
Bobby was the hero of the hour.
and the rejoicing that followed may
better be imagined than described.
Was 1t a merry Christmas for the
Diapers? Ask Bobby, who firmly be-
lieves he found Santa Claus treasure

either thing was too expensive or l
would have money left. It is remark.
able how few things there are in the
world you can buy for $780,, no
more, no less.
And then ! saw It. 1t was in a de-
partment store, and marked down
from $50 to $26.60l There it was, to
a cent! A great. big, glittering. mag
nificent Punch Bowl! Nobody had
thought Of that!
But, to make sure, l sent the sales
ticket with 1t and told the Platts they
could exchange the punch bowl, IL
they wished, for something they liked
better.
And what do you suppose those
Platts did?
In January they traded in that mag.
nificent punch bowl for three tons OF
coal!
