The biggest, most universal scheme
for social service in the history OF
America, one affecting every hamlet
in the. land, has been instituted by
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association, in the proposal to build
a home for every rural school teach
er in America.

states where the plan will be craried
! into effect, and thorough investiga-

=, eceded the announcement of the so
cial service plans of the lumber manl-
lecturers. The association has not as
yet formulated its plans for pushing
this new department of public service
by actually assisting the schools of the
u&tlOn to build homes for teachers,
but work on this phlanthropic enter
prise is already under way and the
association plans to have its plans
ready for announcement in few
weeks.
K. NJ. Carrier of Sardis, Miss,
leader in the Nationa. Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association was one of
me most ardent advocates of the
project, and the success of the build
iI.G of such structures in few iso-

Convinced him that it is a good social
movement for the entire nation, as
we'll as for his home state.

teachers cottages, or as he calls Them
teacherages, should be models of san
! itation, artistic, though inexpensive,
and so constructed that they may not
only be homes, but real social centers
for the rural neighborhoods.
| In order to further this plan of
! properly caring for the teachers, the
lumbermen's organization is ready to
prepare plans to assist rural commun-
| itoes in providing their teachers with
the kinds of homes which have proved
satisfactory in Washington, and the
other more scattered localities where
they have been built.
Mississippi is selected as one of the
first states for the general introduce
ton of this new MA of teachers
cottage for every rural school, be-
cause though it has already made good
progress, there is still vast room for
Improvement.
In a consolidated district in George
county the ola tWO-rOOHl lWO-tedcHoi
school building was transformed into
a home for the principal and they have
a splendid man and his wife as head
and primary teacher whom they could
not have secured without this home.
They reported that this example of a
teacherage is encouraging other school
districts TO take up the matter and they
hope for many more teachers cot
tages.
Jackson County at the Daisy-Vestry
School. a rural school 80 miles from
a railroad, has a cottage called
dormitory across the road from the
school. 1t was buih about five years
ago by a donation of land, labor ana
material Up to that time the teacher
had TO board about two miles from the
school house as the district is thinly
settled and the school house is located
between two settlements. The house
is located on so acres of land and
belongs to the school.
