BEGIN IN [ NSIVE. CAMP PA|GN FOR BOYS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Federated Club Women Give Active Support For
 White Boys
 Institution

An intensive campaign Is to be con- ducted in Birmingham during the week of April 24-29 to raise a fund Of $So.000 necessary to the establish ment of the Alabama School of Trades In Industries at Ragland. This cam paign has been under way for several weeks under the auspices of the Ex- change clubs of the state, but during the designated week especial effort Is to be put forward to try to com plete the fund
 The Exchange club will have the assistance of a committee from the Business and Professional womens clubs in this work, and a full canvass will be made with a view to com pleting the Birmingham quota.
 Judge Hugh Locke, chairman of the state campaign committee of the Ex- change clubs. has received a letter from Mrs. J. Brevard Jones accepting the honorary state chairmanship of the campaign for the Alabama Fed eration of Womens clubs, of which Mrs. Jones is president; Mrs. Jones is giving active support to the campaign and through her efforts the executive board of the federation voted unani- nIously to support the campaign being conducted by the Exchange clubs. Following is an excerpt from letter which Mrs. Jones has written to all club presidents in the state federa- tion:
 Recently, as you have seen in the Federation column, vote to support the campaign of the Exchange clubs in Alabama for the initial funds of the Alabama School of Trades and h. dustries at Ragland was adopted by your executive board. The plan com- priSes a contribution of s1 only from great number of Alabama citizens While we are striving to correct adult illiteracy, and while the compulsory attendance laws are making it pos sible for our schools to reach far greater number than formerly. there exists an appalling number of boys in the state who, from indigent cireum- stances. cannot be kept in school be- yond the elementary grades.
 "The school that is contemplated would provide for this class of boys an opportunity to work while he learns his trade. It Is not to be college like the Polytechnic. It is not to turn out a man with a degree. It is to turn out an honest workman. The federations part is to keep steady campaign going-not a drive.
 Mrs Jones has assigned to Judge Locke a place on the program of the annual meeting of the Federation or Women's clubs, which will convene In Tuscaloosa next Tuesday. Judge Locke will discuss the proposed trades school and it's necessity in the states educational chain.
