The Night School at
SIOpe No. 2. Pratt Mines

While the progressive, philanthropic men
and women of Alabama are considering the
ways and means to procure reformatory
for young criminals, the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company is quietly testing the
value of instrueting convicts in their night
schools. At Slopes No. l, 2 and Of Pratt
mines, night schools, taught by conscien
tious men and women, are in successful
operation. The interest in these schools
has increased greatly of late. among the
convicts, and the attendance has steadily
grown, especially at Slope No. 2, which Is
under the especial care of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. II. II. Isgrigg.
At No. l Mr. Macon has charge of the
school and Mr.. and Mrs. Billheimer are the
teachers at Slope No. g. The officials of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company are
generously giving every assistance to the
teachers and to all persons interested in
improving the mental and moral condition
of the convictS.
At Slope No. the increase in the at
tendance upon the night school has been
very surprising and gratifying. A few
months ago the average was five or six
scholars; for the past week the average
was seventy one! This figure attest the
growing interest felt by the prisoners in the
methods employed for their instruction and
improvement
The convicts are taught all the rudments
of an English education, and as frequently
possible, newspapers from various. parts
of the country-contributed by Birmingham
journals-are distributed among them.
The men who can read eagerly accept the
papers and the effect he been that gam
bling has largely decreased among the
convicts since they have begun to read the
daily journals and attend the night schools.
1t is notifying fact, but one that should
spur the lawmakers to speedy action in i'm
proving Alabamas educational system,
that the average white native Alabamians
who cannot read and write in the prisons
at Pratt mines is 65 per cent; the average
from other states IL per cent? The aver
age Alabama negroes, who can neither read
or write, u per cent; from other states,
66 per cent! The Tennessee Coal and Iron
company are demonstrating to the entire
satisfaction of this section of the state,
that the modern methods for the improve
ment of criminals are proving of vast ben
eft to the convicts in it's employ.
The schools at Pratt mines are paving
the way to a reformatory for the young
criminals of Alabama

A Tribute to the Memory of
Mrs. MARGARET E. O'Brien Davis

I'm Memory of Margaret O'Brien-Davis).
Sadder the note of song-bird sweet;
Softer the fall of passing feet;
Darker the morn.
Blighted seems Natures beauty and light;
Even the spring sun shines less bright;
Since she is gone.
Welcomed above one more loved face;
Better the world for one life's grace,
Brief, pure and fair.
Brighter the light in that happy land,
Sweeter the song of that Angel band,
Free from all care,
While to sad hearts Christ will bring good
cheer,
For the beautiful city has grown more near,
And heaven is now place more dear,
Since she is there.

HiIIman Hospital Boards
Tribute to Or. Johnston


The board Of managers of the Hillman
hospital having lost a devoted friend and
helper by the death of DR.. w. H Johnston,
their consulting physician, desire to ex-
press in some sense their affectionate ap-
probation of his services in their behalf
and their deep and abiding feeling of loss
In his removal from his earthly career of
untiring usefulness.
His wise counsel and his tender mInistra-
tons, ever at the service of rich and poor
alike, will be grievously missed. But we
bow in submission to the will of the Great
Physician, who has taken to a higher
sphere of activity the gentle spirit of our
lamented friend.
We commend his bereaved family to the
comforting mercy of a loving, all-wise
Father, and extend to them the profound
sympathy of hearts which are themselves
deeply touched by this af1iiction.
