APPEAL TO HELP SAVE
LONGFELLOW HOME
Women's Clubs Over Country
Will Aid Movement to Re-
lease Poets Old Home.

An erroneous report that the In
ternational Longfellow Society had
failed in its efforts to save the birth
place of Longfellow as an lnterna-
tional memorial, was recently publish
ed. This report is not true. Fore
closure proceedings were commenced
bv the holder OF the second mortgage
on February /, but under the Maine
law the society has much longer
time than in many other states to re-
deem its title TO the property.
Our Civic League recently has re-
ceived an appeal from Mrs. George
Thornton Edwards, president of the
Portland Longfellow Club of Portland,
Maine, to help in raising the mort
gage on the old Longfellow property.
Eight hundred Woman's clubs
throughout the country have gener-
ously supported the upkeep of this
property for a number of years, but
the whole amount of the second mort
gage is now demanded and any small
amount would be gladly received from
anyone who would aid in saving this
beloved old poets property for an
international memorial.
Contributions to the Longfellow
birthplace fund will be received for
the next thirty days by The Record or
by the president of the Civic League.

record with a Ford couplet. Reynolds
drove the doctor to Saginaw one day
last week. During the day several
inches of snow fell and the doctor
decided to save time and hardships
by taking the train which arrives in

to the +. M. station and seen him
safely board the train and started for
Alma. When the train pulled into
Alma and DR.. Lamb stepped to the

wild ride to this city, however, the
doctor seems perfectly satisfied with
having rode the train home.

BURNS OF THE MOUNTAINS"
Tells Story of the Founding Of
the Oneida Institute for
Mountain People.

James A. Burns the stalwart Ken
lucky mountaineer who filled the
Lyceum course platform Friday Of
last week brought TO our people a new
vision of the south and its possibil-
tiles. The speaker won his audience
with his simple, direct and "homey"
style of speaking and his vivid
description of the scenes enacted dur
ing the Walker-Baker feud in the
mountains Of the south.
Burns told clearly how and why
the mountain people of the south are
living as they are today. His gripping
story OF his own life and experiences,
together with his struggle for his pre-
sent position of the president of the
Oneida Institute, made an entertain
ing story that one will long remember
Burns complete school education
last over the lengthy period Of seven
teen months. In his early years he
found the conviction that it is knowi-
edge that gives man power over his
fellow men.
The American Magazine for March
gives the following concerning Burns
and his career:
eat the age Of twenty he decided TO
go to college. He had no money
but in some way managed TO maintain
himself for little while at the Deni-
son University, a Baptist colleges
located at Granville, Ohio. Here he
impressed all by his silent and moody
habits. They did not know that James
Burns was now a man with vision,
an ambition. At some time there
had come to him the fixed con
viction that something ought to be
done to lift out of their bondage, the
bondage of ignorance, the people of
the Kentucky mountains, To him the
one means seemed religious education
He knew that in order TO change
mountaineer ne would have to catch
him in the cradle.
In all his life, INCLUDING his short
stay at Granville he had just seven
teen months of schooling, his college
life covering just seven months total
He was well advanced in young man
hood when, as Theodore Roosevelt
phases it, he left school and began
his education.
He returned to Clay county in 1892
after his college course of seven
months. He was twenty seven years
old, with neither staff or scrip. AS
yet silent, he was man with
vision, a prophet in the wilderness
Locusts, wild honey, corn bread, cat
fish-anything would do for him. In
his Conenanter soul was just one idea.
His idea was that the thing to do,
since these people never could be
got out to the schools, was to take
the schools in to them. So he went
TO work at that, studying all the time
and continuing his education all the
while"
The remainder Of the story telling
of how ne taught school in the
mountains and the hardships en-
countered before the Oneida Insti-
tute was established, was one of in
tense interest, and no one but the
founder, James A. Burns, could tell
At and do it justice TO the world
