community and ourselves. Here is your opportunity to render real service, at no expense to yourselves except a small amount of time and trouble
 In making visit to home for old women not long ago, one of the in mates, a woman of over 70 years of age, was given a magazine. After hand ling it several moments she handed it back saying in a shamed voice, T can't read, it's no use to me"
 Pftyful wasn't it? and to think there are thousands who would have to give the same excuse; blinded cut off from so much, because of the disadvantage or the lack of a common school educa- tion. Letters from men and womeIi who have attended the moonlight schools of North Carolina tell of the great de- light the older scholars have found in being able to write letters to and read letters from children far away.
 The appeal the campaign against thus evil makes is an appeal to your hearts. It is easy for people to give a small amount of money to those less fortunate than themselves. Would it not be easy to give some of your time to teaching during the summer and fall?
 Be as generous with yourselves as you nave always been with your money.
 Help make Alabama the first state on the educational ladder-not almost the last rung.
 We shall need many teachers. not only Tn the cities, but throughout the state. Let us have your name.

Polly Peachtree writes thus in the Hearst's Sunday American:
 Once upon time when l had the pleasure of being introduced to a charm- ing society woman of Birmingham, she made as an opening remark the sta tement that Birmingham was always jealous of Atlanta and Atlanta of Birmingham. Now I had never heard a whisper of jeli- ousy on the part of Atlanta. Therefore was somewhat surprised at the remark. Since then l have heard that Birmingham people really were little envious of At lanta, in social way, and setting At lantas standards as record they at tempted to equal or excel this record It may be that the one-sided rivalry had something 10 do with Birminghais.'s g bril- liant social programme of last week for
