How could 1t be otherwise? These noun

Miss Furman'S Vivid Picture
OF an Arrested Civilization

Miss Furman paints a strange picture of
arrested civilization In her simple book. 1t
bears out all the remarks of this teacher
and others who write so feengly Of the
passing away of the moonshine habit and
the cessation of feuds. But her boys are
of the "fightingest" kind and good part of
her story is taken up with their battles
among themselves. This. of course. before
the teaching had expelled some of the old
leaven. As she was going on a Christmas
season TO visit 'killis's Home on Clinch,"
dark pictures rose in her mind-and in her
own words she saw my dear boys drinking,
shooting, maybe killing one another-and |
urged Mandy on, scarcely feeling the cold
wind that blew down from the mountain
The first question she blurted out to her
hostess was:
Have my boys been drinking much?"
The teacher was relieved to find that
Kills had given the boys nothing stronger
than cider AS Kills himself expressed it,
II never give them boys nary drap but cider.
An l watered the cider, too Them boys

A right Christmas There couldn't be one

early days of the school without carousing
and several wounded, IL not a few killed
This has passed. and perhaps the change In
the mountain sentiment due TO the settle
ment work of the women" is most vividy
sensed by means of this remark
Miss Grigsby said: In spite Of all that

than 1000 children have been taught and
trained and sent out into the world to teach
and train others like themselves when they
came reluctant to this fount of learning
Many of the boys and girls have gone on
with their education in loftier institutions,
to become useful citizens, doctors, lawyers,
preachers. But irrespective of sex, or
changed condition, or even pronounced am
bition, the lure of the hills is strong upon
them all and most of them settle in the
towns nearest to their beloved mountains.
Town and hill are nearer now; from forty
five miles the railroad has been brought
within sixteen miles, which in the noun
taineer view is but step. But seven OF
these sixteen miles are creek bed and 1t
takes eight hours still to drive from Hind
man to the railway.
Miss Petit has gone into another county
and organized a similar school that will no
doubt in time rival Hndman. The latter
has now a force of thrty-two teachers and
workers, 104 girls and boys living In the set
tlement and $50 day pupils. Ten years after
Hndman was started Circuit Judge Gardiner
made public statement of the splendid
results It had attained. complete reorgani-
zation of the county to its betterment he
attributed to its influence alone. A change,
indeed, from the time when the group OF
girls camping on the mountain hoping they
we're safe but little dubious about 1t were
assured by a dozen young men with rifles
who climbed up TO camp to say:
I'VE hearn you women Is here to git
peaceful summer? Well, we fellers allowed
we'd see you had peace. II hit took steel bull
let's to git hit"
Now any slight attempt to put an obstacle
in the way of the beloved teachers, who are
no longer designated as "quare women"
would be attended on the offenders by dire
punishment.
Perhaps some women of New York remem-
ber how at odd times they have donated
clothing. shoes foods that have been packed
in barrels Cat the request OF the teachers
who know that Is the only safe method of
