Effort on the part OF some one inter

good work done in one place Is al
: most sure to be the occasion for
similar work elsewhere, The effort
is CONTAGIOUS. The directors of the

' limited means, however, they can
!. helm in but comparatively few cases.
t Such workers, nevertheless, as are
a employed by the Jeanes Board coulo
o readily enough be secured by local
organizations anywhere. 1t is espe-
eially gratifying to find that a be-
ginning is being made in that direc-
ton. For instance in Virginia the
, officials of one county were so well
pleased with the Jeanes work in
:. neighboring county that they have
