The Birmingham Business College.

It is with pleasure that the State Her aid again refers to an institution of learn ing that is doing much towards making Birmingham known as an educational eenter-the Birmingham Business college This college has several practical courses any of which will fit a young man or woman to perform intelligently the duties of business life. The officers of this col lege, Messrs. Seymour and Wheeler, give their personal attention to all students and thus insure the very best possible fn- struction that can be had anywhtre. These gentlemen he Ve had a wide exDeri- ence both as teachers and business men, and have held different positions ol busi- ness trust with some of the best firms of this country. Both Professor Seymour and Professor Wheeler are natives of New York, but came here from Kansas City, where they were associated togeth- CT in the management of the Kansas City Business university This college IS American headquarters for the justly celebrated Sloan-Duployan system of shorthand which is used by many of th9 leading amanuensis and court reporters of the world No better place than Bir- mingham could ba chosen in which to se- cure a business education, and it's de- lightful climate makes it a special attrac- ton to students from the north, many or whom are faVorng the college with theib patronage.
 Another attractive feature of this insti- tuition has been its success in securing positions for graduates. In fact, the management, under certain conditions, guarantees a position when the scholar shin is purchased.

 The exhibit of the schools, which won such proud distinction for Birmingham at the Atlanta exposition, has widely advertised the city and her educational system and many visitors from other elt- ies and other sections will be found from time to time inspecting the work and methods of our schools The people or Birmingham and of Alabama are justly proud of our public schools
 Superintendent John H. Phillips, Ph. D.
 The gentleman who has for so long oc- eupied the position of superintendent or the city schools of Birmingham is, by V1r- tue of his position, prominently identified with the welfare and progress of the city The first consideration of the homeseeker in selecting a new locality is the condition of the schools. It is the best evidence of civilization.
 Dr. Phillips has made a record with the schools of Birmingham that demon strates rare capacity for organization. He has gradually systematized the work until it has attained the highest prof1- ciency and is acknowledged all over the state as being without superior Tn pfac- tical efficiency.
 John Herbert Phillips was born in Gov ington Ky, December 12, 1853. His pa rents moved to a farm in southwestern Ohio when he was years of age and here his early years were spent. He se- cured a rudimentary education in the public schools and in 1871 was engaged as a teacher in a country school near Charlestown, w. Va. After four years here he entered the preparatory depart ment of Marietta college Ohio, graduat- in 1880. He was immediately elected prin- cipal of the schools of Gallipols O., was reelected again and again. until he re- signed after the fourth time and accepted the position of principal of the schools of Birmingham. His work here has won for him the favorable commendation of educators everywhere and in 1885 he was elected president of the Chautauqua class of 1889, which numbered over g, 900 mem- bers. This was an honor most worthily bestowed and fully appreciated. He has since been distinguished in educational work as q lecturer of power.
 When he entered the field here in 1883 the school system was in it's infancy He set about to systematiZe and classify and improve the educational situation, and all of the credit of the splendid school system of Birmingham belongs primarily to him. He is modern in his ideas and

TURKISH BATH PLANT.
Only S1000 Needed to Fit St0,000 Estab-
 snment,

Mir Rubhard, the gentleman who is getting up the Natatorum and Turkish bath for this c4fy, reports very gratifying success. He says that he has already succeeded in raising s4000 and only needs 5000 more. He thinks this is doing we'll for so short a time, and especially asshe was total stranger in the city. Those who have agreed to take stock are among the leading citizens. The company will put in 5000 when the citizens of Birming ham subscribe $5000 The stockholder will get his Turkish bath for 65 cents, while others will be charged $1. He re- gards the success of the undertaking as- sured. The building will be 8 two-story brick, located in a central part of the city and will be fitted up in modern style. It will contain swimming pools and Turkish bath. It will have separate apartments for ladies and gentlemen. It is strange that city the size of Birming- Ina m has not had Natatorium and Turk ish bath long ago. It is paying institu- ton in other cities,

has introduced modern methods in conservative community. He is not theorist, except to the extent of joining theory and practice in a harmonious re- sult-the greatest possible development of the powers of mind in the least possi- ble time without the exhaustion of the energies of the pupil.
 Dr. Phillips is a genial and compan- ionable gentleman, member of the Pres byterian church and of several social or ders, honored and respected as an edu- cator and as citizen whose sphere of in- fluence is broader than that of any man of Birmingham. That he has been here as long as he has is better evidence of his efficiency than could be conveyed by speech or pen.

Howard College,

located at College station, on the East Lake dummy line, was founded at Ma ron in 1S41 by the Baptists of Alabama, and was removed in 1878 to East Lake. This institution, while under Baptist de- nominational control, is in no sense sec tarian, but is patronized by all classes.
 Since the removal of Howard college to its present location the attendance has increased almost 100 per cent, number ing now about 200 annually. Young la dies were admitted to the junior depart ment two sessions ago, and the entire faculty is delighted with co-education.
 It is the "school of prophets" for the Baptists of Alabama, and there are now in attendance thirty-three young minis ters, which is an increase of 60 per cent over any previous session. The faculty reports that for the past year the depart ment is better than ever before. The board of trustees Is composed of many of Alabama's most prominent and substan-

Announces as Candidate for the Legisla-
 tlre,

MT. w. H. Wade, we'll known and popular lawyer of Birmingham an- nounces himself candidate for the leg islature in this issue of the State Herald. Mr. Wade states his views to a State Herald representative as follows:
 q believe that the most important measure to Birmingham and this dis trict is some law for more frequent pay days. The laborer is worthy of his hire He should be paid his wages in money to spend them wh ere he wishes. The pres ent system of is unjust morally, degrad ing, financially ruinous. The millions in- vested in Birmingham were made on the belief of benefit from the industries of the district. The stocks and bonds of these industries are not owned here the only benefit Birmingham can derive from them is from the wages of labor. Every state in the union, with long ex- perence in manufacturing, has such

Mir. David B. Grace.

Much of the industrial matter present. ed in this issue of the State Herald has been gathered and prepared by MT Da- vid B. Grace. MT. Grace, though still on the sunny side of the matrimonial line, may be called an old citizen of this place. His journalistic career began with the birth of Birmingham, and. though part of his life has been given to labor in an- other stAte, he has given years of earnest Journalistic to the building up of Birmingham and the mineral section of Alabama. He knows his home and the people among whom he lives. He wields a facile pen, and with him journalism is labor of love. Quiet and unostenta- tious in manner, MT. Grace is a man whose innate modesty may rob him of that credit of which he is so deserving. He is a builder and a developer much more entitled to the name than hundreds who. with lordlyN possessions. do nothing to advance the general progress of the community in which they live.
