There was one daughter of 16, a capable,
intelligent girl, who finally had to aban-
don the idea of going, on account of
the distance. A man whose home was
an equal distance from either school had
several small children, and every day he
or his wife drove TO school with them,
as he was afraid for them to go alone
and cross the railroad
One of the girls who finished the Pinson
school year ago stood the state ex-
animation and taught in Shades Valley
during the past term. Two others who
finished earlier are now teaching, and
two of the girls of 1912 entered the Monte
vallo school last fall. The test of the
school is the work its students do after
they leave, and this school has right
to be proud of those of it's pupils who
have gone elsewhere and succeeded The
Louie Compton seminary of Birmingham
has share in the Pinson school, for dur
ing the past three years, two of it's
graduates have been teachers there.
A Visit to the School
Some time since small party of teach
ers from nearby schools met at Pinson for
a district teachers institute 1t was
held on a COOL sunny day in late Oc-
tober. The Pinson teachers met their

style. The dinner was delicious and was
served with the most gracious hospitality.
The afternoon session of the institute
closed two hours or more before train
time and the teacher who had led the
song in the morning invited several who
had to wait to spend the time with her.
They descended the hill, passed the yellow
poplar, stopped at the springhouse for
drink of water and then accompanied her
to her boarding place. AS the day closed
the air became so cool that fire was
necessary; so, while the party was wait
ing at the station a bonfire was kinded
and circle was formed about st. 1t was
a long, happy, beautiful day, and the
visiting teachers carried away good inn

that he knows more about baseball

by telling you that he went in swim

year after Muggsy McGraw dipped his

and that ever since he and Muggsy
have been the most intimate of friends.
And then he'll hit you on the back
like he was breakin' rocks on the
chain gang and laugh loud guffaw
at your wonder at his fame. Nothing

could hit the nest three times to

since that so that it's all he can do

About the time you get rid of him

lain all night in a fishing camp in a

to the school house. The weather was
too glorious for anyone TO stay inside
when it was possible to be out Of doors,
so very soon there were groups Of teach

hill, to look far away to the skyline,
and then to admire the varying shades of
brown and yellow and red which bespoke
the season.
A little while later all gathered in one
of the school rooms and the institute
was opened with a prayer and a hymn.
The song was led by one of the teachers,
a beautiful girl with clear, sweet voice.
The theme of the song was appropriate
and its air was soft and pleading. 1t
made a mental impression that cannot
be etfaced; something that one remem-

autumn breeze and sunshine.

bought a piano. paying cash for it, and
piano lessons were given at the school.
The need for an auditorium has long
been recognized, and the building of one
was undertaken some time ago. On ac-
count of the lack of funds it was not COM
pleted; but it Is hoped that ii will be
finished before the opening of the new
term. The School Improvement society
bought the windows for it from the money
raised last year.
One feature which was a credit to the
school was the satisfactory attendance.
While a high percentage in attendance
would not be especially significant in a
town where there were paved sidewalks
and enough schools for each child to have
only short distance to walk, it is an
entirely different matter when a large
number of the pupils must walk several
miles through wind and rain along a
country road.
There was one family of four or five
children who lived between Pinson and

either place These children attended the

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS AND
PROGRESS IN NEARBY TOWNS
NUMBER SIX-PINSON

For a long time Mount Pinson, or
Pinson, has been quiet. peaceful little
country village. 1t has an extremely
attractive setting, lying as it does. be-
tween two mountains. The business part
of Pinson lies along either side of the
railroad-the Birmingham Mineral
which runs directly through the town.
There is good farming land all around
Pinson and its proximity to Birming-
ham makes 1t a highly desirable place
for truck farming, market gardening
and poultry raising.
A New Attraction
The new and delightful plan of hav-
Ing home out of town and motor
ing into the city for work has given
Pinson added value. for it is an ideal
place for the out-of-town part of that
sort of an arrangement. The air is pure
and fresh. there is good water the
views are beautiful, there is a good road
leading into Birmingham, and the dist
tance is short enough to make the city
accessible.
Within the past year FIVE families
have moved from Birmingham to Pin

chased or built permanent homes there.
While electric lights are not yet prac-
ticable at Pinson. there are other mod
ern conyeniences. Some of the houses
are supplied by their own water sys-
tenn. A large amount of money has
been, and is being, expended on these
farms and homes. There is one house
which is valued at $4,000 without the
farm; and there is another home which
is worth about the same amount. Be-
sides these, there are modern cottages
and old-fashioned places.
picturesque spot at Pinson Is lit
tie milk house which is built over a
spring. On the outside the door is on a
level with the ground; and within it
opens al the top of a flight of steps.
These lead down TO the spring itself,
about four feet below the level of the
ground outside. Separated from this
part of the spring house by ligh wall
is the part reserved for milk and but
ter.
Close by the spring house is an immense
poplar tree. For months it is a COOL
fresh green. and in the fall its every leaf
is a soft yellow.
