What an Eastern Superintendent Says

What an Eastern Superintendent Says
The discussion on the individual sys-
tenn of teaching in schools will take place
tonight at Illino hail, on Broadway,
and large number of persons interested
are expected to attend.
Mrs. Frank Gibson, who wrote to ".
J. Shearer, superintendent of schools IN
Newcastle. Pa, in regard to the system
of individual instruction in the public
schools at that point, has received reply
from Mr.. Shearer in which he says that
after two years trial you would have
trouble to find any teacher, director or
patron who has not been convinced by
the result. of its efficacy. At the start all
the teachers almost were opposed to it.
Grave difficulties were met at first-the
hardest work, perhaps. experienced
in my life--but il should now return to
the old method l believe there would be
war waged by the patrons, pupils and
teachers. At least GO per cent of the
pupils have gained from one-thrd to
two-thirds of years work in the past
year. We have forty to forty-fve pupils
in each room. 1t needs no extra teachers
and is not more expensive.

 The signal service predicted generally fair weather with occasional showers, and southerly winds New Orleans advanced s points and then lost to points of this. Spot cotton here was 1-l6c higher No sales. Memphis received 20 bales, against 151 bales last year; Houston 23o bales, against 54 bales last year
 New Orleans receipts for Monday are estimated at 250O to 5000 bales, against 27Sl bales last Monday and TO last year.

The weather at the south has undoubtedly been too cold-n many sections too wet so that the development of the plant has been delayed a circumstance in connection with the reported decrease in the acreage of B per cent or more, not to mention the large decrease in the use of fertilizers, encourages the bulls to believe that the next crop will show a very de- cided falling off as compared with the pres ent one. The dry goods trade is more promising. General business in this coun- try is expanding and the bulls so far from thinking that the bull movement has cul- minated take the ground that a material rise in prices during the summer is reason ably certain.

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Eilmingham-Rs the tiles of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced eS to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled told reliable specialists" to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious preteneions and heroic praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, 10 consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an investigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are mber of any church, or if you are a Mason, Odd Follow, K. of H., K. of P, or belong to any order or organization then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us a plain state- ment of yorr'case and iBclose stamp for reply. We will give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed envel- ope our "Book for Men" and Question List for 2c stamp; Question List for Ladies for % stamp.
 All correspondence will be consid- cred confidential and be kept sacredly inviolate.
 As pointer, please read this from recent issue of the Age-H Herald:
 IA gentleman from another town came to Birmingham one day last week to place himself in the hands of a specialist.

 CAUTIOUS INVESTMENT

THE MONETARY TRUST is new f. nancial institution, under authorization of the state of New York which undertakes to aid it's clients in the profitable use of act business for its own account; cannot own securities except as trustee, and is therefore under no influence but the in terest of its patrons. It is the only incor- which is held by law in a disinterested and neutral position toward all Investments Banks and private individuals can place money under it's guardianship and guid- anee at no expense except simple commis- sion on transactions finally agreed upon and consummated. Cautious investors heretofore beWildered by the representa- tions of those interested in the securities they offer, will be aided from a neutral standpoint in selecting investments which ent with safety. If speculative investors will abandon the vain effort to accumulate profits from temporary market fluctuations, they will find this institution a refuge and protection, wherein they may secure the intellectual cooperation of men of financial education and experience, who make fi- nance a profession and treat money making as an applied science. Speculation cannot that worthy securities, at this juncture more nearly combine safety with large promise than has been the case before for some years, and this institution is the best medium which modern finance has yet de- veloped through which given sum can be thoughtfully subjected to the risks neces- sary to the rapid accumulation of money Interests allowed on deposits.
