100TB. 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.

hundreds of communities where
the people would like to organize
under this law, they do not know
how td proceed.

to do right now therefore is to el
