FORESTS
Russell T. EdWards,E OF Tree
Association, Advises Use
of Idle Land

ASHEVILLE, N. c., July o.
The future of advertising depends
upon trees and the South has a
great opportunity if it will put
it's idle land to work growing
forests, according to Russell r,
Edwards, director of the educa-
tional section of the American Tree
Association, Of washington, d. c.,
who spoke today at the annual
meeting Of the Southern Newspaper
Publishers Association.
He announced that the associ.
atoms booklet ''Town Forests" il
ready for free distribution TO civic
organizations, editors, town plan
committees. This booklet has q
foreword by Charles Lathrop Pack,
the president of the association.
Alabama, Edwards said, had just
put forestry into the schools OF
the State. This, the speaker said,
Is one of the big forward steps In
putting the situation before the
coming generations which viii nave
to solve a proposition that has
been bequeathed them by previous
generations.
N"When the thought OF the
American people is directed to the
forestry question via the dollar
sign we will get somewhere,
Edwards said. 1.-THE publishers Of
the country are being harAssed by
the forestry problem because 1t
comes to them in the form of the
price of print paper. But there
are other phases OF the question.
The future Of advertising depends
upon trees.
Think of forestry in terms of
seven hundred and seventy million
dollars worth Of furniture put on
the market in 1923, according to
the report just made to Secretary
Hoover.
Think of forests in terms of six
hundred million foot Of. Lumber

and were welcomed into the de-
tense fold. Some time later, Balm.
bridge Colby, former Secretary OF
State and q constitutional lawyer,
was added to the defense array.
And then Ben G. Mackenzie, attor-
ney-general of Tennessee, tctk
charge Of the prosecution.
In the meantime, a move was
launched in Chattanooga to initiate
Il test case there, because dayton
was too small to hold the crowds
certain to be attracted"
This aroused Dayton's civic
pride to fever heat. Resolutions
were adopted at town meeting
denouncing Chattanooga citizenry.
Fearful that the limelight might
yet be stolen, Dayton persuaded
Circuit Judge John T. Raulston to
call a special session OF the Rhea
County Grand Jury to indict
Scopes. This was done on May rs
and the trial set for July 10.
Scopes q Good Christian
Scopes, the center OF the contro-
versy, is a mild.mannered youth.
He cannot be classed as a radical,
and, he is a firm believer in the
Bible and the Christian religion.
On the other hand he has just as
firm opinions on the right OF free
speech and free thought and on
the theory of evolution.
He was born in Salem, Ill.,,
which was alse the birthplace or
William Jennings Bryan. BY coin.
cidence, too, Bryan was Scopes
"bovhnod hero" and the Great
Commoner" made the graduating
address to Scopes's class in the

years ago life upon the earth was
very simple and that more and
more complex forms of life APP
peared in time.
1.-THE great English scientist.
Charles Darwin, from this and
other evidence, explained the theory
of evolution. This Is the belief
that simple forms of life on the
earth slowly and gradually gave
rise to those more complex and
that thus ultimately the most COM
pick forms came INTO existence"
Test Case Planned.
When Scopes finished, his friend.
Doctor George w. Happleyea, a
young civil engineer, arose to say:
Amy man teaching from that
book Is guilty OF violating the law.
Why, scopes, you're violating the
law, and we ought to make a test
out OF this thing to show the law
is unconstitutional
The other two Wallace
c. Haggard and Sue K. Hicks. young
lawyers-said the same thing. ''And
veil help to prosecute you," they
added.
Thus was born the scopes trial
and the test of Tennessee's anti
evolution law. Rappleyea swore
out a warrant; young Scopes was
arrested and released on bis own
recognizance to await preliminary
magistrates hearing. He obtained
the services Of Judge John L. God.
sey, a Dayton lawyer, to represent
him.
At the preliminary hearing Scopes
was bound over for the grand jury
under 81, 900 bond. His friend, Rap
pleyea, was the plaintiff, and his
other two friends, Haggard and
Hicks. had prosecuted him. They
all thought it was good fun.
In the meantime the little fire
lgnited in the village courtroom had
spread across America. William
Jennings Bryan. one OF the nations
leading fundamentalists as well as
thrice leader OF the Democratic
party, came to Memphis and, in a,
speech, upheld the anti-evolution

Native Of New Britain Spent Over 50 Years of life as Teacher Was Pupils fin Old Shipman School in Stanley Quarter.

Mss Sarah P. Pinks of Meriden Is in all probability the only person now living who was present at the opening of the normal school in this city 75 years ago and, despite an absence from New Britain of more than 50 years, still retains memories of the local school system as 1t was in the middle of the 18th century and keen interest in goth century New Britain. Miss Pinks Is SC years old and resides at the Curtis home in Meriden, where she went upon completing more than 50 years of school teaching.
 A tiny, active, and loyable little woman, Miss Pinks was born in Stanley Quarter in 1899. being one Of the ten children Of Chapin Plnks and Mrs. Esther Pinks. She attend ed the old Sh!pman district school, opposite St. Mary's cemetery on Stanley street, when that section of the town was such q wilderness that not a house was visible from the school building. Later the family moved into town, and then came the great day.
 Public-spiritod New Britain had subscribed enough to bring 10 this city the first normal school in the state. and the old town hall, located on the site of the present Central junior high school system, had been purchased and converted to school use. On May IS. 1850, tha building was opened with the normal classes on the second floor and the high and elementary pupils on tho lower story, The system of graded classes was introduced at the same time in the public schools, and 1t was announced that all chil- !
