preciated when I tell you that list of SO men who are out of work and have never asked for help before has been submitted This list was furnished by an organization and a committee of volunteers from among the unemployed men took this list and divided 1t into districts. and went right out to find what was best for them at once. They will report to the committees, and re- turn for rations enough to tide them over for a few days"
 ''The city is full of willing hands and sympathy, Mrs. Reid said, "and the situation appeals to those who have posted themselves, or who have caught a glimpse of conditions at headquar- ters, and before the end of two weeks we feel sure the response to the emer gency will have enabled this committed to handle the situation practically, and mingle kindness with relief Again, with hundreds of women working (actually seeing for themselves) the spirit of good fellowship gives cheer to the trou- bed. This Is the opportune time for this effort and will certainly rebound in good to each organized effort for relief On Thursday-'White Streamer Day'--I feel sure there will be few doors with out a white flag flying from it's DOT tals, to indicate some sacrifice, some token of human interest for those among us who have been needing work and help. Committees will be active as long as there is work, and interest will never cease after personal experi ence in the dire need to uplift the un fortunate"

Mrs Reid said. among other things, yes terday:
 "The idea of calling the day White streamer Day is merely distinction which sets that day apart from other philanthropic occasions. The idea has been carried out in several cities, notably Nashville, where the most satisfactory results have been obtained It is an in- novation in Birmingham. but one that has attracted a great deal of attention, and we have had many inquiries from different sources asking what White Streamer Day means, which shows that people are interested"
 'The public has no idea of the con- ditions now existing here,'' Mrs Reid continued Not one-half of the suffer- ing or the misery has been made known and the actual dirth of work is some- thing appalling. Hundreds wanting jobs are almost frantic because they cannot get employment, and much skilled labor is unemployed throughout the district We have committees visiting the homes of applicants and furnishing immediate necessities and they are very certain of the real conditions, and this, of course. Is the means of giving very material assistance in solving the strenu- ous problems, because the women who are doing the visiting are thoroughly capable, of planning for changed con- dftion in their affairs. Yesterday Mrs C. T. Randall and Mrs. Ida Adams vis- lted several homes, and again today the committees have been at work all day The purpose of this committee is to CO., operate with organization and individual

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Teaching Negro Farmers the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The third session of the movable school for negro farmers of Alabama closed here today. The meetings were held in Russell county on the Frank M deGraffenreid plantation about seven miles from Scale. There was special significance in holding the session on the particular spot in that the colored people are completing two-room schoolhouse here.
 It was a rare sight indeed to see the old folks going to school first .Buggies saddle horses, and mules were tied about as if 1t were baptizing Sunday. Negro farmers and their wives pressed in around T. M. Campbell who lectured, questioned, argued and gave instruction on general farming. He gave lessons on deep blowing, on the fallacy of planting corn and cotton in the same field on the depth to plant seed, on the principles of moisture and fertilization
 He was followed by c. w. Greene, whose theme was garden truck, the beets in winter. and peas, beans melons. and the like in summer. Josephine $ Galloway, an expert, dealt with all the phases of housekeeping She gave denominations, aided by the women themselves, in cooking a dinner out of the garden and from the poultry yard. She taught the women how to can, how to preserve, how to handle their milk and butter to the greatest advantage.
 Each hour in the day these three teachers had the mothers in various classes in farm life. much as the school teacher changes her pupils from spell ing to grammar. from grammar to geography. with this difference that these teachers taught the lessons with the things in hand. When they dis cussed seed they had on hand the diff ferent kinds of seed. When they dis cussed different kinds of corn bread, there the bread was, cooked right among the farm women.
 Great interest among colored women is being focused on this new school in Russell county. To begin with it is the first of some score or more of negro schools so woefully needed in Russell county to replace the little Sx10 'huts now dotted over the county. But most important. 1t marks the efforts of q plantation owner to make his tenants comfortable. MT. Frank deGraffenreid county superintendent of schools in Russell county. gave the state the five acres of ground on which the school Is built; he gave the rough logs. the negro patrons cutting and handling them sawed the lumber and allowed his teams to aid in hauling the lumber to the site.
 The school is to have a teachers cot tage. The teacher is to be community instructor as well as school teacher In addition to the five acres belonging to the school he is to till. with the as-

 sistance of his boys. 40 acres of gro'Ind. This cultivation is to be a model to the farmers. who will come to the teacher for advice just as boy in school would come to have problem explained in aritchmetic
 MT. deGraffenreid. who is as thor oughly up-to date in farming as he is In school matters goes much further in his plans for this school He wishes to throw around this school all the, 6x vironment of the happy farm hom1- wants 1t to have good breed of ives try-of hogs and cows. and that'nsne children should have their lessons on these along with their other work.
 Mir. de Graffenreid does not mince matters in talking to the farmer about his plans. "I want to make plain" he said, addressing the negro farmers, that this is your school I want you t ., put enough energy and labor into to feel that 1t is yours and not min But l expect the subjects of farmin and farm life to be taught here. I wan.V to speak kindly, but I want to say that if you do not want your boys and girls to study these subjects, don't send them here"
 The two colored people who are aid ing MT. deGrafenreid are I. J. Doggett. the Jeans supervisor. and James Vines, who is to be the principal of the school and arm demonstrator. Jeanette Dog gett is waking up the negroes in Russell county on the school idea. She has suc- ceeded in opening some 30 odd rural schools, many of which would have been closed. and has gotten several communi- ties into building new schools. Upon her will fall the responsibility of giving such practical training to the chcdren in housekeeping and, the like as Jose phine S. Galloway is now giving to the grown people of the farm.
