School Garden Work OF
 Alabama in Charge OF
 Brilliant Young Woman

Montgomery, December 7.-(Special) Miss Jennie Burkes, assistant regional director of the United States school garden army in charge of the work in Alabama and Mississippi. has reached Montgomery, and is now inaugurating her campaign in these two states.
 Miss Burkes is a widely and favor ably known educator. She came to Ala bama and Mississippi from Tennessee, in which state she has made a most enviable record. She was one of the first women in Tennessee to hold the office of county superintendent of pub lie instruction. This position is the ex- ecutive office of the county school sys- tenn, and as such she had direction of the conduct of the schools of Claiborne county which she developed to a re- markedly high degree of efficiency dur ing her administration. So successful was Miss Burkes in this work in one of the largest and most progressive of East Tennessee mountain counties, that na- tional attention was attracted to her activities She was invited to address the National Educational association, dealing with the subject of woman as an educational executive. In addition to be- ing one of the few women who speak before this body, she was the youngest woman who had ever been invited to take a place upon it's formal programme, which was another distinction for her and the state she represented, Miss Burkes was the first woman to be presi- dent of the East Tennessee Educational association.
 The attention of Alabama educators was attracted to Miss Burkes' work, and two years ago she was invited to come to this state to take an executive posi- tion in connection with the rural schools

Cured His RUPTURE

I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good Finally I got hold of something that quickly and com pletely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without opera tion, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pull len, Carpenter, s13 E, Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured-you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation.-AdV.

and as necessary for a well organized
 and administered school system as the
 teaching of any other branch, but to care
 for it at this time has become patr1otic
 duty. To lead boards of education to see
 it thus was the most important problem
 to be met The success attained has
 been very gratifying and the promises
 are encouraging. Some counties in many
 states have done remarkable garden
 work this season, and Alabama and Mis-
 sissippi are coming to see that the schools must assume responsibility TOT it to insure it's success and permanency Teachers prepared to teach garden
 ing were difficult to find. Normal schools and colleges had not offered the
 work to those preparing to teach. It was necessary, therefore, to encourage the forming of special classes in gardening
 and to outline courses for them to pur-
 sue. Interest, however, was keen, and the promise is much better.
 The spirit of work to win the war has been strong, and now that We have finished the war we have learned how to save and to cultivate, and our schools can now render invaluable service in
 helping MT. Hoover in his new problem
 of feeding starving Germany.
 HELPS TOWN CHILDREN "Cities and towns offer the most ifn- portant field for this work since hereto fore the millions of city boys and girls have had but little opportunity to plant, cultivate, harvest and market food prod ucts,' said Miss Burkes. That they should learn to do these things has coma to be recognized as highly important, be- cause the worlds cry for food is in creasing in volume while the world s food producers have decreased in num- bers. Boys and girls in the country not only have had the opportunity to help, but in most cases they have always been required to do something to help feed the world City boys and girls have been without this opportunity or necessity and their leisure time was being spent not in helping their country in it's time of need, but in actually adding to it's present burdens and developing weak nesses in their own characters that boded i'll for it's future.''

 One million five hundred thousand
 boys and girls in all states of the union
 have responded to the call of the Presi-
 dent and enlisted in the United States school garden army
 Sixty thousand acres of unproductive
 home and vacant lots have been con- verted into productive land This will ! release an equal acreage now used in truck gardening for the production of ether foodstufs more important for war purposes. It will also relieve transporta-
 ton congestion through home consump- 1 ton of home-produced foodstuffs Fifty thousand teachers have received valuable instruction in gardening through the garden leaflets written by experts One million five hundred thousand leaf lets have been sent out.
 Boards Of education and other civic
 organizations have been influenced to give financial and moral support to the school and home garden movement and to pay extra salaries for supervision and teaching.
 Hundreds of thousands of parents have become interested in the garden movement and are working with their children in home gardens. In Salt Lake City alone 5200 mothers. representing 62
 parental associations. are actively SUD- porting food production in the schools
 
 trotic organizations have become inter- ested in the movement and are giving 1t hearty support.
 One and one-half million children have
 been given something to do during the summer something that will help carry the burden of their country in this strug- gle for freedom, something that will help them to build character. and some thing that will appeal to and develop their patriotism.
 Home and vacant lot gardening in cities, towns and villages has been dig | nifed and made popular to degree that practically insures it prominent place in the school system of our country. It would be difficult to estimate the educa- tonal and material value of such results
 No other movement In history promises so much in aiding the back to the soil movement as this.'

given Miss Burkes a most cordial re- ception, and have assured her of coIlab- oration in every way, to make her work signal success.
 The record of achievements already accomplished by this splendid and bril- liant young woman, who comes to Ala bama and Mississippi most highly recon. mended by Dr. Claxton, Dr. Frances, Dr. Randall and many other eminent educa- tors, gives promise of vast results in the work she is about to organize in the schools of these states.

here. She was appointed field secretary for teachers and young peoples read ing circles, and in this capacity she vis- tied practically every county in Alabama. This put her intimately in touch with the educational system and personnel of Alabama, and the good results of her work are well known in educational cir cles over the state. About one year ago she returned to Tennessee, in response to an urgent solicitation to accept a re- sponsible position in the Knoxville city schools. So well did she do the work to which she was called that when the or ganization for the present session was selected, she was further recognized by being promoted to be principal of West View school, one of the large and new schools of that municipality. She en- tered upon her work in Knoxville in September after summer of great ac- tivities in the interest of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps and other government work that several times took her to Washington
 In the meantime Secretary Franklin K. Lane and Dr. P P Claxton, commis- sioner of education, determined to make an aggressive drive in the school garden work over the country. The plan of or ganization was headed by Dr. J. H. Francis, superintendent of schools or Los Angeles, as general director; and pr. Francis chose Dr. John L. Randall as re- gional director for southeastern states. Dr. Randall, knowing of Miss Burkes' capa Utilities and her intimate knowledge of school conditions in Alabama, sought her services for Alabama and Mississippi. The board of education of Knoxville, ap- preciative of the recognition of Miss Burkes and also of the Knoxville city schools in her having been called to this federal wartime service, by unanimous vote granted Miss Burkes a leave of ab- sence of one year. Recently she came to Alabama to begin her service.
 That Miss Burkes is the only woman to be appointed to the executive posi- tion of assistant regional director ip the United States garden army Is a further distinction, beth for her and the sex.

quences than this, and through thq children, the parents. The President has assumed the position of comman- der chief of the United States school garden army, and we want the chill dren called to the colors"
 ORIGINATED PAST YEAR
 The United States school garden army was originated in March of this year, as development from the school and home garden work which was be- gun by the United States bureau of education. in 19t4. President Wilson set aside s50,oo0 from his security and defense fund for the promotion of the work the first six months of it's ex- istence. He has since appropriated S200, 900 more 10 carry it on another 10 months.
 Two main purposes inspired the de- velopment of the concept of the army;
 First, increased food productions; and second, training school children in thrift, industry, service, patriotism and responsibility.
 The necessity for man power was being felt. This was especially true in agricultural pursuits. Not alcne were the drafted young men going from the farm, but great numbers of farm em- p1oyes were being attracted to the cities by higher wages offered in other h. dustries. If the millions of city boys
 and girls could be induced to give their leisure time to cultivating tho thou
 sands of ocres of untitled land in front and back yards and vacant lots of our cities, towns and villages, it would result in q substantial increase in food production and an improve inent in the quality of our coming citi- zenship.
 ht,-& 1I,, f;a,, .1 accomplish this through the organiza- ton of the United States school garden
 army. It is & problem both of prcduc- ton and education and belongs to the schools.
 The army plan of organization was adopted and has proved to be very popu- lar and efficient. Simplicity of organi- zation was desired, however, and but few of the divisions of the army were paralleled i'll the garden army plan. A company consists of 150 garden sol- diers as a maximum number. This num- Der should be, and usually is. much
 smaller Each company is entitled to 6 captain, first and second lieutenant. A 1 garden teacher is required for the com pany. The officers have been used to great advantage by many teachers in helping them on their reports, inspect ing gardens, encouraging members ci their company to do their full duty as l true soldiers, and in arranging for ex- 1 hibits, pageants, plays, etc.

in the minds of every thoughtful citizel and perhaps was reflected in the resu of the recent election.
