A recent Sunday ssue of the'BufT
falo. n. Y.. ExDress carries an illus
trated page write-up of the mill Vil
lages-north of , this , Gitm&GKjm
heading: "Greensboro, North Caro
lina, is Center for Model Mill Settle
ment of the World." Following an
introductory in which the writer de
scribes a phase of the social service
work that is carried on at the iarlls,
the article says, in part:
Everything about this big and
bustling plant is in striking contra
diction to the prevailing impression
that Southern cotton mills are pe$t
holes, officered by slave drivers and
peopled by underpaid, half-fed and
stunted boys and girls serfs from
the moment they were able to toddle
forth from their cradles until their
disease racked, bodies are fled by the
spirit so long stifled within them.
4 A mill hands' Utopia' two of our
presidents, Roosevelt and Taft, char
acterized these busy mills. As Pres
ident Wilson spent many years of his
life within a short distance of them,
he, too, knows intimately how read
ily conditions here give the lie to
those who, without taking thetrouble
to investigate for themselves, write
volumes about "the appalling condi
tions in the Southern mills."'
Picture in the mind's eye a little
town laid out in checkerboard fash
ion with wide and generously shaded
streets in which at regular intervals
stand comfortable and attractive
vine clad cottages facing and flanked
by yards of ample proportions to per
mit of chicken runs and flourishing
vegetable gardens. Then one will
have a fair idea of this North Caro
lina mill settlement.
This settlements stands on the out
skirts of Greensboro, itself a busy
and bustling little manufacturing
city, which has trebled its population
in a decade, and this without a boom.
The settlements are clustered about
the White Oak and Proximity mills,
each a mammoth establishment, and
operated by the same concern. The
mills have been referred to by stu
dents of industrial, economic and so
cial problems who have visited th&m
as the model mill settlements of the
world. Not only have the homes and
the environment of the mill opera
tives been a source of never ceasing
wonder and gratification to those
who are constantly on the alert to
promote uplift work . among toilers,
but they have unanimously agreed
that the mills proper have been
equipped with every conceivable de
vice that tends to better the comfort
and sanitary surroundings of the
operatives.
The Proximity Manufacturing
Company, of which Mr. Ceasar Cone
is principal owner, president and
managing director, owns the mills,

"From the first we worked, on the

will be able to turn out a pretty high

Cleanliness and sanitation are his
hobbies. Prizes are annually distrib
uted among the operatives for the
best kept garden and lawn conform
ing to the company's specifications,
and when these are distributed the
laggards find that they have missed
a bonus well worth striving for.
In the course of a recent visit to
Greensboro the writer went through
the mills and their settlements and
found them in strong contradistinc
tion to those at Lawrence, Mass., an
other big cotton mill center, whence
came the "strike babies" who testi
fied before the congressional commit
tee at Washington ro conditions
which made strong men ill and the
women who gathered at the hearing
turn pole and faint. .
No strike babies can be found here.
In their place healthy and robust
boys and girls scamper through the
village streets and over the settle
ment common on their way to and
from the magnificent schools the com
pany erected and maintains at its
own expense. Pinched and drawn
faces and rags and squalor have no
place here. Happy and normal chil
dren and contented housewives who
have oeen schooled in the principles
of hygiene and sanitation are to be
found in the homes, while the man of
the household the mill operative
is the personification of the thrifty
and prosperous American husband of
the working class. He is thoronhiv
content with his work and secure in
the knowledge that his job is safe so
long as he does his part and meets
his employer half way. He realizes,
too. that the head of the company
knows from first hand knowledge
just how he is performing his task
and, furthermore, he knows to the
minutest detail just what his home
life is.
"These mills," said Mr. Cone, "are
what my late brother, Moses, Intend

spent his every waking hour striving
w urng aoout a realization of his
air are other essentials that had been
given due consideration, with the re
sult that men, women, youths and
well grown girls work in bright, well
ventilated quarters, while 'all about
them is clean, sanitary and whole
some. The machinery is all of the
latest pattern, and wherever a labor
saving device could be installed there
it was found.
But it was the settlements which
interested the visitor, and to them he
made his way. The smaller cattages
rent for $3 a month, while the larger
ones bring $5. For every third cot
tage there is an artesian well, and
the water from these is cool, spark
ling and as healthy as any in the
state. The cottages stand on brick
Diers, thus insuring dry and warm
interiors and offsetting any danger
of dampness. All are bright and
airy, neatly painted, and all witnin
and without bespeaks comfort and
homelike cheer. The rental from the
cottages barely offsets taxes and re
pairs. Each year the company makes its
distribution of flower and vegetable
seeds. Shrubs and plants also are
given out, and annually thirty prizes
are awarded for the best vegetable
and flower gardens as well as the
most attractive home in the settle
ment. These prizes range in value
from $5 to $50. Naturally, the house
wives vie with one another to win
these bonuses, and in consequence
the settlements, from end to end,
present the appearance of, variegated
flower gardens'from early spring un
til Jack Frost comes and lays his
blight on plant and blossom.
Attached to each settlement and
maintained at the. company's expense
is a young woman thoroughly trained
and equipped to go among the women'
and instruct and co-operate with,
them in giving to their homes those
deft and intricate little touches which
in reality make it a home for each
member 'of the household. These
young women conduct cooking and
sewing classes in the schools for the;
girl pupils. In the afternoons simi
lar classes are' conducted for the
mothers and older girls who wish to
learn how to conduct the homes on
the most approved lines. They are

themselves with the best sanitary
methods, dietetics and the latest and
