PROF. BURRUSS TO
 PROF. CUNNINGHAM

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I am willing to meet the chairman of the committee of thirty-three of the Alabama Educational association, MT. J. B. Cunning ham, in controversy under the ordinary rules that control gentlemen I have opened the way to the discussion of his recom- menda tions to the general assembly in a candid but fair public letter. The reply of Mir Cunningham in The Age-Herald of Sum- day last can command no respect from me in its descent to unprovoked personalities, as unfortunate for him as they are ground less But I have some additional views to suggest on the public policies involved in the argument of MT. Cunningham, and beg space in your columns for that purpose.
 Mr. Cunningham admits in his communi- cation to The Age-Herald that the report submitted to the Alabama Educational as- sociation was the work of twelve mem bers and not thirty-three members of a committee of which he was chairman. I was a member of the committee of thirty three. I was present at the first meeting of this committee, and I aver that nothing was done practically at this first meeting but to appoint four subcommittee, who were to formulate sub-reports for the con- sidera ton of the committee of thirty-three. A second meeting was held in Tuscaloosa

ates. that is, graduates of the state nor

cates, that is, graduates of the state nor maj schools.
 The following extract from the bill sub stantiates this statement:
 .The state board of education shall pro- vide uniform examinations for applicants to teach in the public schools of the state, shall determine the number and the value of the certificate that may be issued 10 teachers in the state, and shall decide the qualifications that may exempt a teocher from state examination, provided that no teacher whose known qualifications are not equal to the maximum limit of the grade exempted shall be entitled to said exemp- tion, and provided that teachers who have taught five years successively under first grade certificate before the approval of this bin and holders of state certificates shall also be entitled to said exemption"
 One of the four classes will be uniformly eertificated; three classes will not be uni formly certifcated. This is bad showing for bill intended to uniform matters
 do not think that MT. Cunningham has a very clear idea of what his bill effects. He acknowledges this bill only attempts to legislate for grammar and high schools in the course of study and the teachers em- ployed. Perhaps the grammar and high schools are the limits to MT. Cunningham s legislative capacity. This is certainly the limit of his legislative courage. What Is the charter of a normal school but stat ute OI tIe Bcneidi dSSeHiDiy ihc of a normal school seems to bring on a paroxysm of terror that is pitiable in a warrior so redoubtable in the presence of his committee of twelve.
 This autocrat of the committee of thirty three or twelve should abolish the constitu- tion and the legislature and set up school system of his own manufacture. In that event he would mot need the consent of the eleven, but could district the state into a few educational provinces with which to beguie the vassals of his sovereign will, who would not dare to be migrate to his administration"

This progressive" teacher says, .there wasa time when Mr. Burruss stood by the majority of the committed" MT. Cunningham does not attempt in his letter to show where the majority of the com mittee of thirty-three do stand. If I do not stand by the majority now never did. I have a shrewd suspicion that he considers Mir. Cunningham the majority.

Christmas Parties for the Little Folks.

The fin de siecle little miss is entitled to her fads quite as much as her grown up sister, and amid the cotillons and holiday gayities of the latter the latest fad for the little folks is a kitten party. little Bir mineham girl is quite anxious to send out her cards for announcing this up to date party and will probably do so during the holidays. In one of the larger cities kit ten party was given and is thus described: At the door of the nursery where, of course, the afternoon was held, stood the little hostess assisted in her welcome by some kindergarten chums. Each guest had brought along her pet kitten, all berib- boned for the occasion. AS each guest pre- scented herself she shared honors very gen. erously with her roly poly pet, which was tremendously presented with a tiny bell, 1t being stopped along the neck ribbon Such a shaking of heads and scampering hither and yon to catch the tinkle, tinllle.
 'Such dainty news from pink throats at the wonder of it all Bye and bye, when the arrival had been smiled a welcome the little mistresses began to frolic, too and the nursery rang with sweetest laughter. In a room adjoining stood small table, bearing a sumptuous supper When the hour for these dainties came the kittens played their prettiest part. Any number of china saucers-very thin, shell-like ones they were, were filled with milk and ar ranged all in row at one end of the play room. The first kitten to dip her nose in got that pretty dish as a souvenir. There were two prizes as well-one for the kitten which failed to dip a paw in the milk and the other for the one which. being the naughitest. placed two or more feet in the saucer.
 "Of course this added great zest to the closing hour Then the goodbyes were said and the little girls, holding close their darlings were whsked homeward."
 One party I heard of did not end so pret- tily. Right in the midst of the merrymak- ing two pink-nosed kittens fell to quarrel ing In a trice one little mistress boxed her pets assailant. Then his blue-eyed de- fender came to the rescue with angry blow for the other kitten, and then straightway the Mother Eve slumbering within these diminutive breasts bade the little ones box each other It was too bad wasn't it? for the pretty party was quite broken up and little girls and kittens all went home without any refreshments while the small hostess being the first as- sailant, was put to bed at o'clock.

LadY curzon and Her Gowns.

The establishments of the late M Worth, of the late Nj. Daucet and of the ever-pres- ent Jollivard, n Par s, are said to be croWo- ed with sightseers eager for a glimpse Of the creations that are intended for Lady Curzon. There are to be forty dresses and some of them are to cost two thousand and five hundred dollars apiece. The whole bill for clothes. excluding frou-frouing fiuffiness and jewels, will amount to fifty thousand dollars. There can be no doubt that thls beautiful American woman wili surpass in the magnifcence of her toie1tes any pre- vious hostess at the government house. So much depends upon her tact and judgment in regard to court etiquette that she will be subject to very searching criticism, but in this matter as well as that of dress Americans are agreed that si.s will do both to perfection. For the present at least her mind Is at rest about clothes until the time comes to decide which one of her gowns she will wear at a particular time.

 Until now women who carry lorgnettes, those "magerful things" as Sentimental Tommy calls them, have been content to attach them to long or short chain, ac- cording to fancy. But to be in the swim, one must not carry them that way any longer One must now attach the long chain to a bangle, slip the bangle over ones arm and carry the lorgnette from the wrist It is not comfortable and i5 very much in the way as a rule, but fashion decrees it and women must obey

unpardonable offense in M-. McAdory to hold public school position. for ten years? It is worse than ruInor that MT. Cunning ham laid his plans to capture the county superintendency of Jefferson and later tie position of state superintendent This Is righteous aspiration, holy ambition in Mr. Cunningham but an unpardonable sin in his fellow teachers. The gentleman sought and obtained my support for his application for the presidency of the Florence normal school as he did that of MT. McAdory. This progressive" cormorant is anxious, fe- verish aspirant for everything in sight and grinds his axe with unprecedented audacity upon the consideration of others, but ut terly abhors the possibility of ambition in his comrades.
 Mir Cunningham's statement that I am afflicted with intermittent political fever re- minds me that he claimed at the Warrior institute that his work on these bills had contributed to the contraction of the spell of fever that he actually had. A bill so dis astrous to its author may be dreaded as serious menace to the public health.
