Mrs. Rutherford, a charming: and cul tured Southern woman, is herself i deep student of the history of the United States and especially of the his tory of the South. She is a graduate and for 27 years was principal of the famous Lucy Cobb Institute of Athens. Ga.. which was founded in 1858 by Genji erai i nomas a. t. jodd, later killed on the Confederate side at the battle of F redericksburg". In furtherance of her plan to pro mote the study of history in the United States in a way that will enable the people of the North and South, as well as those of the East and West, to real ise better the difficulties of the prob lems with which each has contended in the past and now has to contend. Miss Rutherford is working- to establish historical circles in every state in the Union. Programmes Are Mapped Out. "We now have such an historical circle in Georgia," said Miss Ruther ford yesterday, "and in a few years we shall have them In every state. I' have been asked to map out pro grammes of study for each circle, and I am making- up these programmes with especial reference to the history of that part of the United. States in which the circle is situated. "Here In Oregon, for example, the influence on the history of the United States of the Oregon purchase would be an important part of the ourse of study. In general, the programmes of study for these historical circles will deal with Colonial times, the War of the Revolution, the period of great terri torial expansion of the United States, the Civil War, the reconstruction period and the Spanish-American war. "Just now I am trying to have two great historical works, which are in dispensable to the student desiring to obtain a true comprehension of the point of view of the Southern side, put in every library in the United States. These works are 'The South in the Building of the Nation,' in 13 volumes, written by various Southern men. and The Library of Southern Literature,' In 15 volumes." Unwritten History Gathered. Miss Rutherford has been general historian of the United Daughters of the Confederacy for the past four years, and in that time she has filled 40 vol umes of 600 pages each with manu script and letters of ante-war and Civil War days.

Daughters of the Confederacy hold, their annua convention this week.
