The Jeanes Fund of $1,000,000 established by a Quaker lady, Miss Anna T.Jeanes of Philadelphia, expends the greater part of its income in helping to pay the salaries of county supervisors for rural schools.

These are usually young colored women, who work under the direction of the county superintendents and visit the rural schools.

They give simple talks upon hygiene and sanitation, encourage better care of schoolhouses and grounds, stimulate interest in gardening and simple home industries, and encourage self help.

Their work has been exceedingly valuable.

The Phelps Stokes Fund of $900,000, founded by Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes, is not wholly devoted to the negroes of the South.
