ANN1VEKSARY A* a result of a" nation-wide campaign, the American Sunday School Union which is now pre paring to hold ita centennial cele bration, has established over one hundred and twenty thousand Sun day-Schools with half a million teacher* and more than five mil lion scholars. The Society Is also pieoarii.g to curry on its work of rural child development on an even scale, in an effort to meet the constantly growing demands from many parts of the country. An intensely interesting series of phamplets has been issued, de scribing the various phases of the organizations' work and relating some of the amusing experiences of its field workers. These pbam phlets may secured upon request without cost. Beginning with its first presi dent, Alexander Henry, the Socie ty has numbered among its offi cers and committee members some of the ablest men of America, in cluding Authors, Statesmen. Ju rists, Financiers and merchsnts. Its headquarters are located at 1816 Chestnut Street, Philadel phia, Pa. Encourage Credit Unions. All over Europe, too, tenanta and other poor people hare been bellied in resent years through the establishment of ( Kuiffeisen bands, or credit unions, or agri cultural credit societies. One of these we examined in Ireland will serve as an example: The farmers of a community had put their savings together, and oat of these savings lent to one another for productive purposes?to buy more stock, or feed, or fertilizers, or machinery, or to hold crops for belter Drjcea, giving in each case good collateral or securing the en dorsement of two good men. thousands of European commun uities bare been lifted from pov erty to independence in this way. Ir North Carolina a considerable number of such credit unions have been organized and are doing ex cellent work. A letter to Prof. W. K. Camp, West Raleigh, will bring full and free information abont them. Now if a Legislature simply passed a law saying such credit unions may be formed, nothing m likely to cojoe of it. And some , wSal the same thing is true right (now about the "National farm Winton Waveletts. A Brilliant Reception Given to the Theatrical Troupe by Mrs. J.

I loan associations'' under the new National rural credits law. In hundreds of communities where the people would like to organize under this law, they do not know how td proceed. What each Southern State ought to do right now therefore is to el ect an "organizer of credit unions and National farm loan associa tions" and let him help farmers in organiziug both classes of insitu tions.
