needs of tlie Georgia mountain girls

We hope to make this institution

of mental darkness," she says in
r report. “They are bright, but un-
aliened, with the purest Anglo-
Srxon blood coursing in their veins,

Many of the women do their cooking.

one of the needs is $1,300 to pay for

recruits the opportunity to save $10
a month out of their pay. the money
