Tho mountain people of Kentucky

Berea, KY, who came TO Detroit TO
address the Board of Commerce.
Tuesday.
Berea college is an unique insti-
tuition. II caters to the mountain
people OF Kentucky and seven other
states, whom DR.. Frost calls Our
contemporary ancestors" These
people about whom so much has
been written and so little really Is
known, are warmly championed by
DR.. Frost.
They're feudlsts," he admitted,
but their feuds are proof of their
high idealism. They're proud OF
their families and have as high a
moral code rs other people, only II
starts at a different point. Educat-
ing them was a problem that had
to be done in defiance of all the the
ories of education. They live in the
time of Shakespeare, and our mod

no value to them. | say they live In

"Of course, trade schools appeal to

anything else. But your northern
grade schools wouldn't do for them.
We have TO teach farming at As

nearest railroad, with no electricity.

The Russell Sage foundation has
made a survey of the district known
as the mountain country. 1t covers
216 counties in eight states. This
work was taken up because the
people Of the rest Of the world are
largely so ignorant of who the noun
tain people are.
There's one thing the mountain
GERS resent" said DR.. Frost. THAT
is being called mountain whites.
How would you like II IL a newspa
per spoke OF you as white man
from Detroit every time it used your
name? Another offense is to con-
meet them with the po' white trash.
The poor whites are people who
we're degraded by competition with
slave labor. The mountaineers are
people who never have been de
graded. but never have been elevat-
ed since the revolution"

Woman Had Dismissed
Nurse; Cared for
By NeighbOr

Dashing into burning barn with
water-soaked handkerchief wrap
ped about his face, early Tuesday
morning. Patrolman Adolph w.
Baehr, OF the Scotton.ave. station,
carried Mrs. Ella Gryda, 2S years
old, and her three -day-old baby TO
safety. Just as the officer reached

roof OF the barn tumbled in.
Mrs. Gryda lived in frame barn
in the rear of No Sis Baker-st.
Monday night she dismissed a nurse
who had teen attending her since
her baby was born, early Sunday
morning.
About o'clock, Tuesday morn
ins. Patrolman Baehr saw flames
licking up the side of the barn, ran
to a nearby box and turned in an
alarm. Thinking there might be
horses in the place he dashed back
10 the burning building.
AS he approached the building, a
neighbor shouted that there was a
sick woman and baby in the place.
Without a moments hesitancy Baehr
soaked his handkerchief in the gut
ter, wrapped 1t about his mouth and
ran into the building.
He gathered the mother and babe
into his arms and staggered to the
alley. AS he reached the open air,
the roof crashed in, throwing a
shower Of sparks over the patrol
man and his burden.
Fearing she might suffer from ex-
posure, a neighbor took the mother
and child into his home.
The barn was owned by Fred
Ebel, OF No. SO West Grand-blvd.
The damage is estimated at $500,
and is covered by insurance.

be designed by Mr.. Morganthaler, and
