Episcopal Church
 Seeks to Aid Boys

Eddie is only 13 years old but his education is completed For the boys grow up quickly in the Cumberland mountains and, as Eddie is able to do mans work on his fathers rude hillside farm, he must be contented with only two years schooling.
 Yet Eddie is fortunate. For be- fore 1905 he would have grown up just as boys have grown up for sev- eral hundred years in the Southern Appalachian mountain regiOn--ig- norant, illiterate and bound for life to povery fueds and squalor.
 Now, thanks to St. Andrews school several miles south of Sewanee, Tenn, at St. Andrews postoffice, Eddie has received at least a taste of education. And when the next generation comes, the order of the Holy Cross, monast;c order of the Episcopal church, which established St. Andrews fourteen years ago, be- lieves it will not be so difficult to have Eddies son spared" from the farm long enough to get real edu- cation. In fact, the Episcopal church has begun nation wide campaign to eliminate just such difficulties and one of it's results is expected to be enlarging St. Andrews school
 Already the centuries old preju- dice in the land of Presidents Jack son, Polk and Johnson against "learnin" is being broken down. The scores of boys who have gone forth from St. Andrews during the schools few years existence, have demon strated the value of the practical education every boy receives there. For while the monastry of the Middle ages taught only the classics, the Holy Cross fathers realize it is a twentieth century world they are ministering to,
