EDUCATION BOARD REPLIES TO
 COUNCIL.

 in the Suburbs.

In response to a resolution adopted at the last meeting of the City Council of Montgomery the City School Board al it's regular meting yesterday evening adopted a resolution. informing the Coun- ell that at a later date and after further investigation it would submit a report as to the advisability of prolonging the sessions of the Montgomery public schools
 The Council resolution was to the effect that the School Board should investigate the advisability of having the schools open for nine months during the year. Under the present rule the schools open in October and close in the latter part of May, making eight months of study in cluding the Christmas and incidental holidays.
 c. L. Floyd Superintendent of the city schools who at the last meting of the Board was instructed to go over the suburbs to be annexed to Montgomery under the recently adopted Greater Mont gomery bill and investigate the number of school children who would have to be provided for. the school buildings, con veniences made a report.
 MT. Floyd reported that in the new dis trict there are 1.053 school children, 800 of whom are whites and 5S3 colored. There are seventeen white teachers and nine colored instructors.
 At Highland Park. he reported. there Is a four room school building, the property of the municipal government of that suburb. At Oakley there is a one-room school house. the property of the county. The other schools are in rented buildings or in churches
 Mir. Floyd also mentioned that as soon as the new child labor law goes into effect. over 100 children now employed in factories will have to be provided for.
 The Board adjourned sine die.

HIGH TEA AND
 ENGLISH AFTERNOON TEA

Some one asked recently what the dif- ference in high tea and regular English afternoon tea is.
 It Is this: At high tea, which Is very pleasant form of afternoon entertain ment. the refreshments served are very much like those served at late lunch cen. They generally consist of a cup of bouiIlon to begin with, followed by salads. coffee. chocolate and punch.
 At a regular English afternoon tea. only tea, toasted crumpets, mullins and thin slices of bread and butter or dainty little cakes are served. Be sure to have Oolong and Sooshong. or, as 1t is com monly called, English breakfast tea, on the little tea table and a kettle with hot water, under which there Is spirit lamp burning.
 Place the sugar and cream and dish of sliced lemon on a little salver and have them served to each guest after the tea has been poured. From 4:3O to 5:3O o'clock is the proper hour for an after noon tea. This just gives one time to rest a half hour before dressing.

The Japs as Laborers.

Boston Globe.
 The Union Pacific Railroad has been ex- perimenting with the Japanese. whom it was found would work cheaper than white men and had splendid powers of endurance.
 But 1t was found that the "Japs' would not take upon themselves tasks" They will work until the spirit prompts them to take a rest and then nothing will tempt them tor work.
 The "Japs" in all their history have never been induced to shoulder tasks for stated times. European contractors find the same trouble in Japan They abhor routine the great curse of the English laborers.
 It looks as though 1t were going to be hard to yoke the "Japs" into what our workingmen call wage slavery" Their Oriental antecedents are all opposed to 1t. Is 1t not a good sign?

Panama Still Proper Hat.

"Tt's a little early to talk about straw hats" said a Philadelphia halter but you may as well know. in case you think of buying this summer. that the Panama will be- as of yore, the correct hat Its what if was The correct Panama of 1903 will be little bit of a hat-just a crown, and a narrow brim, narrow ribbon and that's all Therafo 1t will be nec- essary for him who owns big Panama to have it rehlocked or to buy a new hat. The supply of Panama hats will be equal to the demand in most of the grades this year The prices will be about as they were. Thus for $l5 you will be able to get very nice Panama and Tor $2o or 80 you will get nicer one

 The following executive appointments were announced yesterday: Albert D. Kohn, Notary Public. Montgomery; J. B. Weaver. Notary Public. Winston County.
 Quite a large number of visitors are at the Capitol every day and the Jefferson Davis room and the masts on the Capitol grounds presented the State by Captain Hobson, are dividing interest.
 Hon. I. w. Hill. State Superintendent of Education. has returned from Jack son County. where he attended a teach CTS institute at Larkinsville. He reports a well-attended and instructive insti- ute.
 Adjutant- General W. w. Brandon yes terday issued commissions to D. W. Mo Iver. Aide camp on brigade staff, with rank of captain; R. T. Goodwin, ordi- nance officer, 2nd infantry. rank of cap tain; w. l.. Metcalf. Jr., second lieuten- ant, Troop D, Birmingham: D. c. Will liamson. instructor of guard. 2nd infan- try. rank of captain. He also issued a permit for Battery B, Ohio National Guard. to pass through Alabama en route to New Orleans, between April 12th and goth. inclusive.
 The Board of Examiners of Teachers has moved to the third floor of the Capi- tol building into the room occupied by the Clerk of the House and his assistants during the session of the Legislature. The Board now has more commodious quar- ters and can do faster and more satisfac- tory work For the past few months they have been crowded in the office of the Superintendent of Education, where there has been little room.
 If the finances warrant the expenditure, the Governor will doubtless begin the work on the additions to the Capitol building before the year ends The pres ent space is entirely inadequate to ac- commodate the officers who are clamoTing for more room in which to do their work. The historical department. for example, which is one of the most valuable and useful of all the Experiments in the State Capitol, has never had a place 1t could call home.
