MRS. JACKSON WRITES
 OF MASCAGNI.

From musical point of view, the Christmas season In Chicago has been unusually brilliant, writes MT. George P. Jackson, in an interesting letter to this department.
 On Saturday and Sunday before Christ mas Mascagpi and his Italian troupe, gave two operatic concerts including hs two act Cavaieria Ru5tlcana. But the un- fortunate composers troubles seem to be piling up. Notwithstanding the com parative financial success of his Chicago concerts, he Is too much embarrassed to continue the tour so he has taken the proceeds and sent his singers and or chestra numbers back to Italy. At pres ent he lies Ill in his apartments at the Auditorium hotel and his Chicago ad- mirers are planning a benefit. It is even possible he may be given the direction of the Chicago orchestra in a concert.
 The Castle Square Opera company is giving Chicago season of grand opera in English at the Studebaker. But not l withstandng the fact that they have ex- | cellent singers and, for it's size (twenty l mem, a good orchestra; 1t Is easy to see from the empty seats here and there, l that the (.mcTlCdH people HaNth yet l learned to admire grand opera in their own language Carmen was the bill last week, and Il Trovatore Is now being sung.
 | Without question Chicago's greatest musical event of the year. Is the rendi- 1 ton by the Appollo club and Thomas orchestra, of the Messiah. This took place, as 1t has for over twenty years, l on Christmas night, and on the Sunday evening following at the Auditorium.
 The soloists for SunCly included Mrs. Sue Harrington Furbeck, whom we re- member as one of our Lirmin ham musi- cal festival soloists. The other soloists -7ere Mime. Rogna Lime. soprano; Ed ward c. Towne, tenor and Gustav Holin- quist basso.
 Hearing the precision of attack, and the hearty soulful singing of those four hundred people, 1t was hard to believe that many of them had sung at least forty performances of the grand old mas terplece. This might become an object lesson to some of us Birmingham peo- pie, who thought we had enough of the Messiah after four ren, itions.
 The Auditorium was packed at both performances and the treasurer of the club told the writer, they made enough on these two nights, to cover the deficit on all their other concerts.

WOMEN INTERESTED IN
 EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
BY ANNIE KEnDRlck WALKER.

| In the effort new being made to remove the ban of illiteraey from lhe state, those women interested in educational progress are heeniy awake to the significance of the approaching educational conference to be held in Montgomery the latter part of January,
 Of the many educational questions that Alabama women have recently made 1t their businorn te Investigate. the present system which allews men unfit for the duties of county superintendent to be ap- pointed to that office has peemed to them an opportunity for radical reform. It Is this part of the public nehool system where the entering wedge was made in tho crusade begun two years ago.
 In the whole range of discussions that arc likely to be presented at the approach ing conference, there will be none more far-reaohing in It's importance than that dealing with the subject of a qualified superintendency. The absolute unfitness of men acting in the capacity of county superintendent has struck consternation to every one who has Investigated the present system,
 In their efforts to set in motion those forces that will eventually solve the edu- cational problem, the women of the state have been tireess in their crusade agains- the appointing of men unqualified for this office, and have time and again | pointed out the remedy for this fragrant l indifference on the part of the state to provide the proper legislation. They nave l insistently cited cases in point and urged a radical reform in the present system. The educational committee of the Ala bama federation has as its chief interest l and object the raising of educational | standards, and to this end will again pre- sent an educational bill to the legisla- ture
 Of the leaders in this educational move- ment and prominent in the work of the Southern educational board Is Mrs. Kate Hutchinson Morrssette of Montgomery, chairman of the educational committee of the Alabama federation.
 In a comprehensive and graceful arti- cle on the subject Mrs. Morrissette calls attention to the Digest of public school laws, through the examination of which every one may gain knowledge of the educational system which will convince him that Alabama should fall in line with 1 Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and other states whose laws are tending to reduce illiteracy.
 Those who recognize the need of radical reform in our present system will watch with interest the outcome of the educa- tional conference, the first to be held in Alabama since the educational move ment was instituted in the south.
