PINEY WOODS SCHOOL featured
IN LADIES HOME JOURNAL

Meeting with skepticism, ignor-
ance and poverty at the start,
Jones gradually but steadily won
the support of Negroes and whites
alike and with pledges of land, lum-
Der, food, money, and the will to
work the Piney Woods School
began its physical growth.
Students at the school have al
ways done the work-not only be-
cause of the meager resources but
because of the background Of the
students. "Jones teaches them how
to get ahead" one woman said OF
the little fesser." The principles
of harvesting, cooking, canning
and carpentry are just as import
ant as reading and writing.
Within the past few years the
outside world has begun to take
note of DR.. Jones and his Piney
Woods school. An appearance last
year on the "This Is Your Life
television program flooded the tiny
rural postoffice with letters and
money - 10000 the first few
days; two weeks later, the fund
had passed 100000.

The phenomenal 47-year history
of Mississippi's first real school
for Negroes, the Piney Woods
Country Life School at Braxton, is
related in the January Ladies
Home Journal. The story Of the
schools founder, Laurence c..
Jones, "The Little Professor OF
Piney Woods" is a condensation
of the book by Beth Day, recently
published by Julian Messner, Inc.
Back in 1909 when DIR. Jones
founded his school, statistics read:
enrollment-one boy; cash on hand
-$1.65; classroom-a felled log
under a cedar tree. Today, the
Piney Woods School has 1900
acres with 20 buildings, an enroll
ment of 500 boys and girls, and an
endowment fund Of $4,000.
While a student at the Univer-
sity of Iowa, routine lecture on
the old maxim, noblesse oblige
inspired Jones to devote his life to
helping the forgotten" children Of
his race. The most forgotten" Of
all, he found, lived in the Black
Belt of the deep South.
