LAURENCE JONES AND HIS PIN
Ely WOODS SCHOOL.
Iowa Man >:aking Good il Southland.

An industrial or vocational school
down in the pine woods Of Mississippi
is doing some good work for the col
ored people of that section. 1t is the
"Piney Woods Country Life School"
and is supported largely by the chari-
table people of Iowa and other north
ern states. The work is so different
and so practical that it has won the
admiration of everyone who is famil-
lar with it's method.
Its founder and organizer is Lau-
renee C. Jones, an intelligent Negro.
He left Iowa for that district, and
started the school without any finan-
cial backing. The people of that dis
trict are poor, and could give but lit
tie assistance; but Mr.. Jones had the
ambition, and, he said to himself that ;
where there is will there's way"
The first classes were started under
a cedar tree with its branches the only
protection from sun or storm. Logs
had to serve as chairs, and boxes as
tables. When the, weather became
cold, bonfires were built to keep the
pupils warm. But it was not always
to be so. The buildings shown in the
pictures on this page illustrate how
the institution has grown, and it is
still progressing. While nothing is
fancy, everything is practical and Of
service in the good cause.
The work of this school is different
from that of most vocational schools.
1t is situated where the citizens must
depend upon the farms for living.
Instructors have tried to give the COL
ored pupils an education that would
make them better farmers, more use
full citizens, and Intelligent voters. A.
,tendants at this school had no money
with which to pay tuition or buy sup
plies. The founder planned a way
which helped them to help themselves
and a method which enabled them to
pay their way by working on the
farm.
In the morning, pupils study books;
in the afternoon they are in the fields
the shops, or the house, combining the
practical with the theoretical-doing
work that will pay their expenses.
Girls learn to sew, to cook, to wash
and iron, to make butter and do other
household duties that will come to
them later in life. The boys are taught
how to pillow, to cultivate, to handle
carpenter tools, to repair machinery,
