WORDS OF WELCOME
 BY PROF. SAVAGE.

In behalf of the teachers of Mont gomery County, Prof. John Savage, principal of the Hammer Hall School, welcomed the Association. He spoke as follows:
 MT. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Alabama Educational Associa- tion-The distinction of welcoming you to this city has been conferred upon me. and although there are others far more worthy and capable, yet I did not feel willing to decline so great an honor.
 Permit me. then, to assure you in the name of the teachers of this city and County. that your coming here fills us with pride and delight; and that our chief hope is that we may render the occasion full of enjoyment for you. If, in our reception and en- tertainment of this distinguished body of teachers. we should in any manner fall short of Montgomery's proverbial hospitality. we beg you to lay it to the fact that we have only within a week received notice of your coming. and also to the fact that some of the teachers were busy in their schools un- til within six days ago.
 As 1t is. we have done what we could in so limited a time, and We promise to do a great deal better when next you conle.
 But you have come to no strange town; all Alabamians know Montgoni- cry; and to be an Alabamian is to be at home in this city.

EDUCATORS WELCOMED +s
 RY ALDERMAN FINLEY.

Representing Hon. E. B. Joseph, Mayor of Montgomery, Mir. John G. Finley, Chairman of the School Com- mittee of the City Council, welcomed the Association to Montgomery. MT. Finley spoke as follows:
 Ladies and Gentlemen of the Edu- cational Association: l have been re- quested by the Mayor to extend to you collectively and individually a most cordial welcome to this city. Our citi- zens esteem 1t a distinguished honor to have in our midst the educators of this great State. No class of men or wo- men within our borders are more po- tent for good. The seeds sown by you amongst the hills and valleys of Ala hama will live after you have passed away and the works of time have crumbled to dust.
 Of all the blessings we are permitted to cultivate, education breathes the sweetest fragrance. It is companion which no misfortune can depress, no enemy alienate, no cline destroy, no despotism enslave.
 While you are with us, we want you to feel perfectly at home. This is your capital, as we'll as ours. We feel proud of it. We feel proud of its indus trial commercial and manufacturing enterprises, of it's progress and im- provement on every hand, of it's public school system, it's inexhaustible supply of pure artesian water, it's splendid electric light plant, it's twelve miles of paved streets, it's twenty miles of paved sidewalks, its forty miles of granite curbing, and it's commodious school buildings. furnishing ample accommo- dation for every child of school age in this city. With all these advantages possessed by your capital, it is exceed ingly mortifying to know that our be- loved State of Alabama stands almost at the top of the list of States in the matter of illiteracy. Here is work for you in great abundance.
 An educational citizenship in this State should be the aim of this Asso- ciation.
 Hoping that the deliberations of your Association may be attended with inn provement and crowned with success that your influence and labors will work for the good of the State and its people, again, in behalf of the Mayor and all the people of this city, give you a hearty welcome to our city, our homes and our hearts.

THEY DO IT.
People Quit Coffee and get Well on
 Postum Food Coffee.

A man in Milford. Ind. says he did no. quit drinking c,ffee because he thoug . { it hurt him. but bccause he found a morn ing beverage he liked bett.r in Postuni Food Coffee but to his wonder and sur. prise, he found l na few weeks all of the o.d symptoms of sickness had left him.
 He had been greatly troubled with his stomach and heart. also with what is called water brash." and dull head aches which made me very irritable ani quick tempered
 Ali of these symptoms disappeared anl he discovered. in SD te of all hls previ us theories that coffee was really the cause of hhs troubles, and the ;eaving off of coffee and taking on Postum Food Coffee brought about a perfect cure.
 He speaks also of Mrs. Josephiene Kelly. living at Elkhart. Ind. Says she was afflicted much as he was, but had become more emaciated than he. So she 1uIet drinking coffee and took on Postum Food Coffee. She Is now a healthy and robust lady and vi ling 10 make affidavit that Postum Food Coffee saved her.
 The gentleman from Nil ford speaks also of Thomas Mcdonald as having re- covered by using Postum. It can he had at ali grocers. A good cup of Postum cannot be made unless 1t Is boiled long enough to bring out the flavor and food value. then 1t is delicious.

the Improvement of the educational status in Alabama. ''In union there Is strength" This is a weii-w0rn max i'm, but its truth is more in evidence Iooay than 1t ever was before. organ ization is the watchword of the profess sions the battle cry of tabor and capi- tai. and the hope of the politician. Never before in tne worlds history has the individual who dared stand alone countea for so little and been so sum marily crowded on the field of action by the organized forces of his fellows.
 But the Alabama Educational Asso- citation does not claim to control auite all the capital of the State: 1t Is not it's purpose to crowd out of the profession all teachers who refuse to come into its fold, nor as 1t ever ordered gen eral strike: though there has been good deal of that kind of tning gong on, no doubt in the ranks. Some have struck oftener than was good for them. but they have been left to settle their own troubles.
 It is the purpose of this association, as we understand 1t, to encourage all worthy educational interests in the State public and private. from kinder garten to college and university. and to either suppress or improve what ever is spurious and unworthy. This is not a place for petty pretudices, enc wy or political chicanery. but for grave thoughts and earnest work, looking to the Improvement of our entire educa- tional structure. "The head cannot say to the hand. l have no need of thee" ;" and vice versa. Whatever the grade of our work, whatever the auspices under which we labor, we are bound together by the bonds of sympathy and common interests, and will all return to our homes better equipped for our work for this Interchange of counsel and ex- perience.
 Since the organization of the Aiaha= ma Educational Association. twenty years ago changes amounting to a revolution have taken place in the school systems of America.
 During this period of two decades, the modern schools of philosophy and pathology, the psychological laborato- ries and the societies for child study have been busy turning the light into dark places and exposing hidden fol- lies and delusions.
 As result of these combined re- searches. the schools have as rule. broken away from the old plans. tha- ories and methods and have established new systems, in accordance with the more scientific principles discovered by
 modern investigation and experiment.
 All of the old that was genuine has been retained. of course, at least by the conservative. while some of \ the new that was for brief period her- aided from house tops by the visionary proved phantasmagoria in the end.
 But the mists have about cleared away. things have settled into their proper places. and the new conditions are better than the old.

The President. Prof. F. M. Roof of East Lake. then delivered his annual address as follows;
 Fellow Teachers:--Several causes combine to make this the most impor- tant session in the history of the Ala bama Educational Association.
 First, 1t is the twentieth anniversary of our organization, and there Is some- thing in even decades: second, 1t is the first session that we have held in the Twentieth Century; third. we are as- sembled under the very shadow of the Constitutional Convention to which we can appea, for needed .Iegislatlon with feeling of assurance that we shall at least have hearing; fourth, I believe we have the strongest program, all de- 3artmente considered. that has ever been presented to a session of the as- sociation Prof. Forney and his com mittee are to be congratulated on their excellent selections of subjects and speakers.

PROF. SHAY RESPONDS
 TO WELCOME ADDRESSES.

The first response to the addresses of welcome was made by Prof. A. c. Seay of the Fourth District Agricultural School at Sylacauga.
 Professor Seay thanked the speak CTS for their words of welcome. He re- ferred to the historic associations which cluster about Montgomery and spoke of the Legislatures which have assem- bled here. He made reference to the Constitutional Convention now in ses- sion and of the suffrage problem which confronts it. Mir. Seay said that there was another matter of equal import ance to the people of Alabama. and that was for the education of the whole people. Our people are rich above compare in all that goes to make up natural resources. and poor below com pare in all that goes to make up edu- cational resources.
 We have seen the picture and read the story of The man with the hoe. [" said Professor Seay, and wondered If that may not be the fate of some

It has been called the finest looking and finest doing of any association in the South. While we rejoice at our ac- complishments so far. let us earnestly strive to deepen ana broaden our pro- fessionalism. making every teacher In the commonwealth responsive to it's call.
 We are in a stage of transition. looking to better conditions. Our need is money. of course, as has been al- ready given out. But there is an att tendant need which will never be re- move l. That need is sacrifice on the part of the teacher. The instructor of the children is a missionary and must remain so as long as ideal work Is done. Another need is to place check on the too utllitarfan tendesness of modern education. Our schools must furnish training which guarantees every clerical and material need. but the higher educational demands of the soul must be borne in mind. The han-' diwork of the Divine must be seen in every child. and un eienting efforts made to lead 1t to the highest develop ment of which 1t is capable"
 At the conclusion of the addresses, President Roof announced the appoint ment of Miss Stella Clay of Montgom- cry and Mir. R. G. Wiilingham as as- sistant secretaries. The names of the delegates were then enrolled and the Association adjourned until S.30 D. m.

COLLEGE AIDS FARMERS
PRESIDENT az " D. AGRICUL-
TURAL COLLEGE IN CITY.

Among the arrivals at the Windsor
yCster day was Prof j. H. Worst, eX-
lieutenant governor of North Dakota,
and now the president of the agricultural
college of the Flickertail state.
Prof. Worst who is one of the keenest
educators in the country, has brought
the seat of learning over which he pre-
sides to a high grade of usefulness, and
he states that as an educator the agricuL
tural college is a wonderful success
The infiue nee of our college over the
agricultural welfare of the state,'' said
he, is very beneficial, and of late q
sent ent has developed in favor of
mixed or variegated farming"
only a short time ago." resumed Mr..
Worst, Pre- sident Hill, of the Great
Northern, furnished free transportation
to all of the farmers who desired to visit
the experimental station, and to say
that his offer was appreciated is putting
it mild
In referring to the crops, Prof. Worst
said that they were from fair to phe-
nomenal, or, in other words, that it was
impossible just now to predict how the
wheat crop, especially will come out
In North Dakota" said Prof Worst,
the people are commenc ng to realize
from year to year the necessity of di-
versifed farming, and before long the
crops will be very much divided. AS it is
we are raising a great deal of corn
bronze, sort of grass which we feed to
the cattle, and our dairy interests are
growing constantly"
