CHILDREN’S FOUNDERS ROLL
STONE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL
The Children’s Founders Roll was
inaugurated by the Stone Mountain
Conft-derate Monumental Association
* n< vP^ er that children of the South
might order a share in the carving of
the greatest monument that the world
has ever known.
It provides for the enrollment of
white children under eighteen years
of age in the great Book of Memory,
which will occupy the place of honor
in Memorial Hall at Stone Mountain;
and for the memorialization of Con
federate soldiers whom they wish to
honor.
Each child who makes a contribu
tion will receive a small bronze medal,
designed by Gutzon Borglum, showing
that he is one of the founders of the
memorial, and later, when his name
has been inscribed in the great volume
of The Children’s Founders Roll, he
will receive a certificate showing the
number of the page and the line on
which his name appears.
One dollar was named as the child
ren’s contribution because the Asso
ciation feels that it is small enough to
enable every child in the South to have
a part in the memorial. It also
makes it possible for all families to
•enroll the names of their beloved Con
federate kinsmen whether or not they
feel that they can take one of the
adult Founders Roll memberships of
one thousand dollars.
For each dollar contributed, a child
can enroll any Confederate Soldier
that he wishes to remember—his
'grandfather, great grandfather, cous
in, uncle or friend.
One child may enroll as many names
as he likes, provided he sends in one
dollar for each name enrolled. For
■each one dollar sent in the child will
receive one line for himself and the
person he wishes to memorialize. If
he desires to memorialize six persons,
his cotribution will be six dollars and
he will be given six lines in the Book
of Memory.
When there are two or more child
ren in a family, each child can me
morialize the same Confederate sol
dier or—as many children are doing
—the Confederate kin in both branches
of the family may be memorialized by
dividing the names between the child
ren, thus preserving the record of
both paterna 1 and maternal ancestors
and kin.
Contributions will be received in the
names of children who are dead—the
same rules governing these applica
tions as those of living children.
Hundreds of children from all parts
of the county have already enrolled
their names and cards bearing their
serial numbers have already been is
sued to them pending the completion
of the medal and the great book.
Each child’s name will be enrolled
in the order in which it is received at
the office of the Association.
Application blanks will be furnish
ed to all persons who desire to enroll
their children; and organisations, also,
may secure as many of the blanks as
they need to enroll the children.
Names may be sent in through the
mails without the application blank.
If every child in the South con
tributes his share to the memorial, it
will mean, not only that the children
will have the honor and glory of help
ing to build the world’s greatest
monument to the world’s greatest
heroes, but that they will have con
tributed substantially to the memor
ial fund, thereby enabling the work
to be finished much more quickly.
Years ago, when the mothers of the
present generation were children,
they met each year in memory of the
dead. With their own hands they
gathered the blossoms from their gar
dens, from the fields and woods, and
brought them where the women of
the South were gathered to weave
garlands. As childish fingers bound
those blossoms into fragrant circles
of remembrance, their hearts stirred
and leaped with a strange pride while
tears fell upon their eager little hands
among the flowers. From older lips,
they learned the story of the sixties
as they sat amidst memorial blossoms
and next day as they marched among
the serried ranks of the Confederate
dead to lay their garlands down, they
trod not by the dust of graves but by
the tombs of Glory.
The children of today no longer
meet to weave memorial wreaths,
though blossoms are laid each year
upon the graves of the Confederacy.
They have lost something of the heri
tage that older years have given to
the children of the South but now,
because of the Stone Mountain Me
morial, the South is being quickened
again to love, to pride, to tears by the
memories of those heroic days.
May every child in the South have
his and her share in the weaving of
Memory’s wreath, so that when the
great book at the mountain stands
open for the world to see, not a name
shall be missing from that Roll of
Fame.
Applications should be sent to Mrs.
J. Rod Davis, chairman for Coffee
County. |

them over night in cold water and
then rinse. This removes the sulphur
used in bleaching. Then wash in a
luke-warm lather made with boiling
soap and water. Rinse well in clear
water.
LEATHER SEATS.—To clean leath
er seats of chairs, rub lightly with a
soft rag that has been dipped in warm
milk. Then polish with a soft, dry
cloth.
CARPET.—After beating a carpet
try rubbing it with a cloth wrung out
in hot water to which has been added
two tablespoonfuls of menthylated
spirit and a small piece of soap. This
brings out the color and does not in
any way injure the carpet.
