creek Ten years before, he had
come acroag the mountain from the
hsadwaters Of the Cumberland river

sely settled, wild game and deer were
abundant, and the valleys and hill
sides were 80 heavily umbered and
dense with laurel and rhododendron

ing at his farm by day, his black
smiths forge by night, far away
from the modern discussion OF educa-
tional ends, alone he developed a
great idea Of education. He believed
that farming should be taught. and
the hand industries kept alive, that
teachers should know moro than
book Learning.
Year by year. as he saw more
and more young men turn from
farming to such public works as
logging and mining, he felt a great
weakness in the new order OF civil
izaHon. and wanted a school that
should arouse interest in the arts
of the farm and home. Because of
this remarkable conception OF his.
when two women came along who
culture, forestry and kindred subjects
should be taught, he received them
with welcome, and had no suspicion
of their purposes because they asked
for at least two hundred acres OF
land, instead of for a mere building
spot for q schoolhouse-"
+ But OF Uncle Williams reasons for
wishing such a school. he can tell
best in the following open letter:
IT want to tell my reasons why I
want a school here at Pine Mountain
There Is SO many of our young folks
growing up here not even taught up
as to morality. 1t grieved me to
think that parents would raise their
children under such rulings. I see
ne chance to better It without we
teach the young generation that they
can't prosepr while they follow the
old ones example. I have been think
ing about this some thirty years or
more.
Some places hereabouts are so
lost from knowledge that the young
uns have never been taught the
knowledge of reading and writing
and don't know the county they was
borned In or what State or county
they was horned. We need a whole
lot of teaching how to work on the
farm and how to make the farms pay.

Of their timber and stuff they're vast
ing. In the way they farm and doing
