will no doubt be equally as successful
this time.
The following telegram from Gen.
John j. Pershing was received last
night
The American Red Cross is now en-
gagged in a drive to increase its mem
bership. The end of the war has caused
many to feel that further activity in
support of this society is not necessary.
il cannot too strongly urge upon all
citizens the desira bility and necessity
for lending their heartiest support to
the continuation of the work of the
Red Cross particularly during this
present period of social unrest through
out the world.

WEARING OF WHITE
FLOWER SUGGESTED
ON ARMISTICE DAY

While plans are being made to Cd
serve armistice day next Tuesday IN
various manners, suggestion mas
been received by the local war camp
community service from the Mothers
of the Navy in Houston. Texas, that
a whlte flower be worn on that day
by everyone in honor of all who died
in the service of the United States
during the late world war 1t was
pointed out that armistice day would
be celebrated as the day on which the
war was ended and It would be most
fitting for persons to wear a white
flower in memory of those who made
the supreme sacrifice. 1t Is probable
that some of the local organizations
will take up this matter and endeavor
to have the people of Birmingham ard

Sung Kiang. China
Everybody has some little niche in

Mr.. Patterson told me in speaking of
the work and people he and Mrs. Pat
terson have learned to love so much,
during the seven years they have been
IN the Orient as missionaries.
But some people have very hospitable
little inches open in several quarters of
the globe. where the home fires burn
for those on furlough for awhile.
Such welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Patter-
son are finding in their ain countree."

in this city which also shared with
them an irreparable loss when Mrs.
Patterson's brother. Bishop James II.
Mccoy, passed into the great beyond.
1t was in 1912 that the Rev L. D. Pat
terSon was sent Dy the poarO OF mis-
sions of the NJ f. church, south. to
China Although Mrs. Patterson never
was sent, she was chosen to go with
him. SO while the wife of the pastor of
East Kiang circuit may not have the
same credentials required of her hus-
band, she is ten-tenths missionary,
when it comes to the happiness she is
carrying to hundreds OF Chinese women
and children through the various
avenues of her Christian social service.
Besides. she is making a very attrac-

COUNTY SCHOOLS
IN GOOD SHAPE,
REPORTS DR.. BAKER
Difficulties Brought About
By War Conditions Sus-
cessfully Overcome, De-
clares DIR. Baker

The many difficulties under which the
schools of Jefferson county were oper-
ated during the past year and the sue
cessful outcome despite the conditions
were shown in the annual report submit
ted by County Superintendent N. r.
Baker to the board of education yester-
day.
1T affords me much pleasure to sub
NIT my report this year stated DR..
Baker, "in view of the fact that the
schools overcame the great stress that
had been put upon them and came
through the year successfully"
The endeavor to keep the classroom
work up to the previous standard was
successful, he stated Notwithstanding
the many drives for war work. even after
the armistice was signed, the influenza
epidemic and the many changes in the
teaching force.
DR.. Baker commended the teachers.
pupils and patrons of the schools for
the ready response in the time Of need.
and stated that their record was an en-
viable one.
The financial report Of the superin-
tendent showed that during the last year
over 81, 10000 was spent. the great part
of which went for the salary of teach
ers, which amounted to approximately
$500 900. For the maintenance of the
schools $46, sci. IS was spent, while $36 50
went for administration and SIG. COS. 4S was
used for new buildings and for recon-
struction. The remainder of the disburse-
ments went principally to loans and IN
terest.
The enrolment for the rural schools
NJ JefYerson county for the year was
q "a. an increase of 1S9 pupils in the
elementary grades and a decrease or
ga high school pupils. According to
DR.. Baker the poor showing made IN
the enrolment was due to war condi-
tions and the epidemic of influenza.
These causes he placed as the main
reason for the absence OF pupils In the
schools during the past year
On the report of the county high school
under the supervision of Principal T. w.
Smith, DR. Baker stated that out OF the
3l5 enrolled, III were girls, and OF the
total enrolment 1877 lived more than three
miles from the school.
Forty schools during the past year
were entitled to state Libraries, the en-
tire number making application for the
grant from the state and the county
board of revenue: s40l was received from
the state for this fund. while the usual
appropriation from the board of revenue
brought the amount of $500 to be invested
towards this end
An increase in value amounting 10
apnroximateiv $4,000 of the school build
inrs and equipment was noted in the re-
mort of DIR. Baker, which figure was
placed after an inventory of the value
of the property had been taken. This
increase he stated, included the new
county high school, on which valua-
ton of $4,000 had been placed.

helping to build our great institutional
church of Sung kiang. Ten thousand
dollars of this has already been paid,
and l consider well invested, for the
mission of grace church is to approach
the Chinese on the side of their deepest
human needs.
Necessarily my circuit covers a
large territory because there are so few
leaders There are five or six native
preachers serving churches technically
in my charge. Native preachers are
usually tutored by foreigners. just as
we are first tutored in the language
by natives, and as we serve our ap-
premiership under the older ministers,
or those who have been longer in the
work.
All these six charges OF which I
spoke, are grouped in my circuit, but
my personal charge is Grace Institu-
tional church of Sung Kiang
Besides the pastoral work. said Mr..
Patterson, this church includes a boys
day school a Chinese music club, ten
mis- club library and splendid athletic
equipment. All these departments are
in the hands of competent people, and
Mrs Patterson has charge of the social
service for women in connection with
the church.
HAS BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our Sunday school has over 400 pu-
pills with 40 officers and teachers, and
the Wesley Adult Bible class has an
enrolment of over 200 We have a
Chinese Bible woman in charge of a
class for women, and Is classes in Sun
day school.
There is no day nor week." con-
tinued Mr. Patterson, when some one
is not won for Christ, and in one day
during our evangelistic campaign 105
people were baptized.
Everybody who knows the situa-
ton" MIR. Patterson reminded, realizes
what a marvellous industrial develop
ment is going on now, and will go on
in China with American and British
capital under the leadership of Ameri-
can and British captains of industry
The Chinese who know English get
the big positions and big salaries. All
the educated people of China know
this, and in consequence, are giving
Nheir sons a modern education. There
is scarcely high class family in
Sung Kiang who hasn't a son in our
night school studying English. Every
one of these boys study the Bible 80
minutes each evening. AS a result of
