Daughters Hear Schools Discussed Mrs. Harry Gocller was hostess to Eulalona chapter of The Daughters of the American Revolution, Monday evening, when the chapter met for the usual business session and to hear a program on their own Kate Duncan Smith and Tamassee schools, as well as other approved schools to which the Daughters contribute. Mrs. Bert C. Thomas told her hearers that in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in Alabama stands a mountain whose top has the appearance of having been sliced completely off, leaving a plain over six" miles wide. On this Plain is remote rural community nine miles from a railroad. This elevation is named Gunter mountain and on Gunter moun tain is situated the Kate Dun can Smith DAR school which serves an area of 100 square miles with an enrollment of 620 pupils. Although this school is an accredited senior high school, teaching all grades, it is far more than the ordinary county school, which offers educational facilities to communities where school is the accepted thing. This school, maintained entire ly by funds provided by the DAR chapters throughout the nation, brings children from homes in which poverty and in difference have been the de ciding factors against education. The ' school prepares boys and girls for happy and useful lives on farms, brings to adults a knowledge of the better things of life and of the better ways of living; stimulates an interest in new farming methods and it is the endeavor of those sup porting the school to make a healthy, happy rural commun ity life possible for those who live in the Gunter mountain area..-. One girl wrote expressing her gratitude to the DAR that the school had enabled her t o escape from an unfortunate and unhappy home where her step father was unable to support his children, and she told of being taught to make over old clothes, studying the prepara tion of foods, of housekeeping, and entertaining guests. She spoke of the changes which the school had brought to their mountain, where formerly a child seldom finished the fourth grade. Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution feel that letters such as this fully repay the sacrifices made to maintain this school for mountain children. A romantic legend gives the name to the other fully sup ported DAR school, Tamassee. A romantic Cherokee Indian legend of a great fire prophet whose wisdom and power of healing were attributed to the possession of a large ruby, called by the Indians "The Sun light of God" from its great glowing fire. At the death of the wise man, in obedience to his instructions, he was buried with the beautiful stone clasped to his breast. The knoll where the grave lay was called Tam assee, the Place of the Sunlight of God. After more than 200 years Tamassee is again a place where the Sunlight of God goes forth into many lives for here is maintained the Tamassee school for young Americans who otherwise would grow up in ignorance and poverty. Mrs. H. A. Nitschelm touched upon other schools ap proved by the Daughters and partially supported by them, but whose funds come from various sources. These schools serve the colored children as well as the white children. During the business session delegates to the state confer ence in March were selected. Delegates consist of Mrs. Mar garet Powell Lamb. Mrs. R v. Wright, Mrs. G. E. McCleJlan, Mrs. Vida Hanson, and the regent, Mrs. W. J. Owsley, who automatically represents her chapter.
