The Southern Number of 



The World's Work 



A map showing the number of cotton mills in the 

 South will astonish you. A table showing the increase in 

 the number of banks during the last five years and the 

 enormous increase of deposits will astonish you still more; 

 for there have been few such chapters in all industrial history. 

 The increase in the number of schools and in attendance, 



the decrease of illit- 

 e r a c y — t he intel- 

 lectual bound for- 

 ward — make a cor- 

 responding story. 



All the s e facts 

 show the amazingly 

 rapid Rise of the 

 Southern People — in 

 wealth, in industry, 

 in education, in in- 

 tellectual activity, in 

 nationaliza tion . 

 Again, the South 

 can teach the coun- 

 try valuable lessons 

 in several great 

 arts — a method of 

 improving agricul- 

 ture, and a method 

 of governing cities for examples. 



All these facts and many more go to make up the 

 Special Southern Number of The World's Work for June. 

 It is a first-hand study of the South made after more 

 than 4,000 miles of study of its great progress, its large op- 

 portunities, the cheerful advance of its people, crammed full 

 of photographs.
