In Mount Berry, Georgia, people find a group of schools built specially for mountain children. The schools, as well as the mountain itself, are named after Martha Berry, herself a daughter of a Georgian mountaineer.

Martha Berry was born in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian mountain children, she received an education. But she never forgot other children of the mountains whose parents couldn’t afford to send them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children. It was housed in a single small log cabin and was attended by only five pupils. Now, eighty years later there are a score of Berry Schools in the area, with a total of over one thousand students and a waiting list of about five thousand.

Martha Berry in her later years received many medals and honors for what she had done for the poor mountain children of Georgia, and in 1931 she was named one of the twelve most important women in the United States. She never stopped working for the mountain children till her death in 1942.

We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago and I decided to buy a car because we had sold the one we had in England before leaving. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was ready. I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet used to driving in this city my wife did not want me to collect it on my own. So we went together to fetch it. We paid for the car. They told us that there was enough petrol to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The nearest garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there safely. But when I turned into the main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars facing towards me. I got out of their way as fast as I could by backing into the garage once more and the man behind me shouted at me. “It’s such a problem to remember to drive on the right, isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes, if only I had a few lessons for practice,” I replied. “You’d be sorry if you had an accident on the first day, wouldn’t you?” while we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English, “Would you mind telling me when you are thinking of leaving? Or are you going to sit in your car all the day?”

Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, “You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn’t know about.”

So he became a thief——but he did not do the stealing. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.

One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house outside the town.

It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.

When he went back to Jim, he said, “That family can’t have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there.”
