same annually to the chairman of the
q. d. G. education committee
Last year sixteen states reported
the educational work we'll organized,
and an aggregate of 165 scholarships,
with an aggregate valuation of $14,-
920 annually; making, with the gen
eral scholarships, a grand total of ia
scholarships, and valuation of $780,
10.
To show the rapid growth of the
work the chairman of the U. d. C.
general education committee report
ed in 1909: Scholarships, 81; yalua-
ton 1924; 1910, scholarships 153,
valuation s10,0S8; 1911, scholarships
ia, valuation $16,170. For 1912 We
hope for a corresponding increase, or
even more. for the interest grows
year by year.
1t is impossible within the limits
of a newspaper article to give the
full work of each state, but it is nat
ural that our states-people, and espe-
cially our Daughters and Children of
the Confederacy of Florida should
like to know what Florida is doing
to contribute to these total figures
That We had been doing something
for several years prior to 1909 is un-
doubtedly true, but, with one excep-
ton, it was in a scattering way, the
exception being Kirby Smith Chapter
No. 202, L. D. c., of Gainesville,
Fla, which two years previously had
established scholarship at the State
University, and which therefore is en-
titled to the honor of being our pio-
neer chapter in scholarship work.
At the state convention in St. Au-
gustine, May, 1909, was appointed the
first education committee of the
Daughters of the Confederacy in
Florida, Mrs. w. c. Powell of Jack
sonviIle, we'll known as an educator,
being the first chairman, and to her
We owe the scholarships at Stetson
University and Columbia College at
Lake City.
Once begun, the work has progress
ed rapidly; in 1909 having one schol-
arship with a valuation of $12S for
tuition fees and living fund, we have
now three years later, nine scholar
ships, valued at $1376.50, and that de-
spite the fact that this year we have
not the Stetson scholarship, valued
at 1910. as the university did NOT feel
that it could longer maintain it

lows, in the order of seniority OF ea-
adjustment:
