Help Wanted for Pew 50

From the Strand.
Two travellers arriving late one night in
an out-of-the- way Scotch village made
the alarming discovery that the last train
had gone. They thereupon betook hem
selves to the one and only hotel IN the
place, and were there informed that all
the beds were. occupied.
The landlord of the inn, however, also
was the caretaker of the village church,
and so, promptly fetching the key, he
conducted the two travellers to the kirk
and made them up a bed in one CT the
pews Whereupon the travellers settled
down for the night
Some time after midnight the landlord
was aroused from his sleep by cries of
"Fire!' and looking out of his bedroom
window he saw the local fire engine being
trundled toward the kirk, from whence
came the ringing of the firebell.
Hastily springing out of bed and arous-
ing the house. the landlord sent his man
post haste to the kirk to find out where
the fire was. After a somewhat lengthy
absence ne returned, and upon the land

FINDING A NEW WAY TO
PAY FOR SCHOOLHOUSE
by FLORA MINER HARRISON

Have you ever read "Sally AIMS Expe-
rience" or anything else written by Eliza
Calvert Hall? But even If you haven't
you know that the woman on a farm
doesn't handle any money Like the
women Eliza Calvert Hall tells about,
she may have butter, eggs and chickens,
but she rarely ever has a few bills or a
handful of change. When she needs
money she is as helpless as Sally Ann
was, and she must either abandon her un-
dertaking or use unusual ingenuity in de-
vising a way to provide the money she
needs. The latter is what the women of
farming community near here have
done.
They wanted something. and they found
way to pay for it themselves. It is a
new way of making money, and yet it is
an old, old way of saving it. 1t is an old
way put to new use.
Kindred is a farming community south
of Bessemer, not far from the Jefferson
Tuscaloosa county line. 1t is neighbor-
hood composed of number of farm
homes, one or more churches and a school,
But the schoolhouse was nowhere to be
seen when Mr.. Mcneil made his first Of
fetal visit ais county superintendent of
education year ago. The people were
ashamed of their schoolhouse and didn't
want him to see it.
Now every visitor is welcomed and the
school Is the pride of the community but
the school building is not the same little
shack in the woods that served as a school
building until now. 1t is an attractive
little building on low hillside soping
toward the public road. 1t is built on
state-adopted plans, with two class
rooms and cloak room; and 1t Is fur
nished with new desks and with new
hy-lo blackboard.
How was 1t done? In the first place the
people wanted a better school than they
had, and in the second place they were
willing to work for 1t. 1t cost $140O. Com
paratively speaking that is not large
sum, but In a farming community it is.
There it means work, hard work and sac
rifice, to get anything that must be paid
for In cash.
decided to the state and the school was then
allowed the customary $500 from the state
school building fund, leaving $1,000 to
be raised In the community. A third of
that amount is still due, the men sub
scribed $500 and the other $500 was paid
by the women. How? How can a group
of farm women possibly pay $500 in cash
of their own money?
They made and sold quilts
why mad nobody thought of that before :?
Suppers, bazars. bazars and suppers in
every variation have been the rule. lne
women at Kindred did something differ
ent. 1t was not only different, but II wa
something of real use.
