THE MON rEVALLO SCHOOL
HAS A RECORD UNSURPASSED.

Three Hundred and Sixty-eisht Pupils
Literary and Practical Education
Given.
In this day of progress in education
al methods the Girls Industrial School
of Alabama under it's able manage
ment has taken advanced ground in
many respects. 1t has surpassed any
record as school ever known in the
history of our country.
1t has five music teachers, twenty
seven pianos, large and experienced
corpse of literary teachers, splendid
department of art and china painting,
commercial department including
telegraphy, stenography, typewriting,
etc; domestic science department,
consisting of scientific cooking, sew
ing and dress making, millinery, etc.
This school has demonstrated the fact
neve> before attempted, that the girls
of Alabama can, during school hours,
be taught how to earn money. The
dress making and millinery depart
ment having had actual counters, show
cases, ribbon cases, cash drawers, sales
women, bookkeepers, shipping clerks,
ett The amount of cash taken in by
these departments was over $4,000.
Three hundred and sixty-eight pu-
pills were enrolled from over fifty
counties in the state The cost for
the expenses is lower than ever
known in any school of such reputa-
ticn, Eighty-seven dollars covers the
cost of board, laundry, tuition, use Of
oil text books, lights, fuel, etc. This,
teo, is divided up in installments of four
payments 80 it may come within the
reach of all. Each county in the state
is entitled to its quota of pupils at
these rates. The Girls Industrial
school is indeed blessing to the
girls and Montevallo and the entire
state should be proud of it. A hand

EARLY PEACE IMPROBABLE.
Landing of Troops Means That Fighting
Will Decide the Issue.

WAsH1NaToN..-A leading member
of the diplomatic corps said Saturday
that the departure Of General Shat
ter's first army of invasion to Cuba put
all end to all present prospects of
peace. With $4,000 American soldiers
about to take position on Spanish
soil, it is said that the conditions op-
perfume for peace have undergone a
material change, as: it commits the
United States to an aggressive land
c,mpaign and also makes it impossi-
BILE for Spain to adopt any other course
than that of defending her soil against
invasion. The hopes of a peaceful
solution of the conflict have passed
away and cannot be revived until the
result of the first Cuban invasion is
determined. This will take some
months, probably all summer, for the
aggressive land movements will be fol-
lowed by others, each one making the
prospects of peace more remote.
