the United States. requesting them to
give him information as to how the
department Of agriculture can best
serve the needs of the farm women.
These letters were addressed "To
housewives in the homes Of the of.
fetal crop correspondents" and was
sent to the full list of crop correspond
ents for transmission to the women
members OF their households. With
each letter was supplied a return en-.
velope in which the women can for
ward their suggestions.
!" This inquiry results from the re-
ceipt OF letter addressed to the Sec
rotary In which the writer said:
THE farm woman has been the
most neglected factor In the rural
problem and she has been especially
neglected by the national department
Of agriculture"
This letter was written not by
woman, but by q broad-minded man,
SO thoroughly in touch with the agri.
cultural and domestic needs Of the
country that his opinions have great
weight. Following the receipt Of this
letter. the secretary determined that
the best way for the department to
learn how to give these women the
fullest possible aid and service which
their important place In agricultural
production warrants, was to write to
the women themselves and ask them
to make their own suggestions.
In the letter these women are in
vited to give individual answers to the
letter or to discuss the matter in
their church societies or Womens or
CARNATIONS and submit answers rep
resenting the combined opinions of
the women of their entire communi-
ties. The answers are requested not
later than November 18th, and this
date is set because it will give the
women time after harvest to consider
the matter and discuss 1t with their
women neighbors.
This letter went to about 20 leading
farms In each Of the 1880 counties Of
the United States. Their answers, it
is expected, will represent the views
and opinions OF upwards of $780, 900
farm women. These answers will be
carefully considered by the special
lists of the department having to do
with that branch of agricultural &C.
tivity.

w
1t CHANGED that donor In the west
had given Several hundred dollars to
be used in helping the Macon county
rural schools. A part OF this sum
was placed at the disposal OF the
schools representative. with instruc.
tons to return to Magnolia and see
what could be done.
With this definite plan made out,
the teacher returned. Said he to an
audience at Magnolia:
"A friend who is interested in you,
who wants to see you build school
house and educate your children, has
sent you some money, under certain
conditions. That is, he will give you
$50 for every $50 you raise until 4
sufficient sum is collected. Will you
accept?" g..
A message from paradise could not
have been hailed with greater, en-
thusiasm. That some friend was in
terested in them, wanted to see them
get ahead and had sent them some
money personally seemed almost too
good to be true.
In two months time they laid down
500 to be covered by 500 from the
donor, and work was begun. In six
months from the time the representa-
tive went down from Tuskegee the
school was finished and dedicated
amidst shouts and tears of people
in mass, who had just finished their
first lesson in the history of devising
and constructing schoolhouse.
One Of the main features Of this
lesson was that while wonderfully in.
structive in itself, 1t was also u great
model exercise. Adjoining communi-
ties took courage Clintonville,
Brownsville, Rising Star. Notasulga.
one after the other caught the vision
Of passing from a wcrm-eaten hut to a
5000 or 500 building. Each went
through its shoals Of faction and mis-
understanding, each got little help
and suggestion, but each played his
part to the end.
Another very interesting phase Of
this general school building was that
it soldered the white and colored PEG.
pie closer together and won many a
local white man to faith in negro edu-
cation.
Some, when the schools were dedi'
Gated. put their thoughts in writing.
In a letter directed to G. J. Galloway,
the director of Tuskegee institute ex-
tension work, the mayor of Notasulga
writes:
1T (the new rural school) is credit
to the town, and feel sure that 1t will
be the means of benefiting not only
your race but ours as we'll. am truly
glad to see your people taking so much
interest in preparing their young for
the duties OF citizenship"
A committee Of white people at
! Loachapoka, Ala, wrote: I'VE take
pleasure in saying III behalf OF the
white citizenship of Loachapoka that
we commend the assistance you have
given your race in erecting a nice
school building at this place. while
another committee of the rural com
munity OF Auburn, Ala, says:
I'VE, the white people Of this com
munity. wash to say to the friend that
Is helping the colored people through
Booker T. Washington to build better
schoolhouses and foster education. In
dorse and appreciate the aid given the
colored people of this community
And this is the sentiment Of all con
cerned."
Thus in his new role the negro OIL
Macon county is serving two gallant
ends. He Is educating himself In the
larger duties Of citizenship and is con
verting the white folks to faith In edu
cation of the negroes.
