sary for the development of the real art ist can not thrive in Birmingham. We have had teachers who made an effort to do the best work and endeavored to place eloeution on an educational basis and they failed. They want superficial work such as coaching. posing and some thing for outside show
 Is this true? In the eastern schools southern girls are doing the best work. The dean of one of the leading schools of elocution and acting in the east, says 'fhe southern woman has naturally beautiful votee, possesses great dramat- ie ability, and is more responsive than her eastern sister. They are thoroughly in earnest and with them We are doing our best work
 If the southern women in the profess sional schools of the east are doing satis- factory work, is 1t not natural to sup pose that is a school offering the same opportunities in the south the same inter- est would be manifested and the same high order of work accomplished.'
 The purpose of the school of expression in Birmingham wiz be 10 raise the stand- ard of the art Of expression through sing ing voice, speaking voice and dramat- e action, and place 1t upon an educa- tional basis, and to demonstrate the fact that artists can be made and made only through a thorough course of systematic training.
 The methods are planned to secure training of voice. body and mind, and q harmonious development of all the powers of the individual for the attain ment of the highest ideais.
 Special courses are arranged for those who wish to study for general improve ment Speakers, ministers, public school teachers public readers and dramatic art ists. systematic and faithful work will be given by the teachers for these ends, and to enable students ito find themselves'' and to realize their powers, possibilities and deepest aspirations.
 Evening classes are arranged for those who can not attend day classes. Efforts wlil be made by the teachers to help every young man and woman, every clerk, business man or worker, every teacher, lawyer, preacher speaker, or student-in short every one who is will ing to devote few odd moments to read ing and observation, and to spend those times usually devoted to worry. doubt or discouraged brodings to systematic exer- cises and studies for self realization.
 Mrs. Taley and MT. Powell have not get decided upon the location for their studio. but they intend to select an at traetive studio that will also be accessi- ble.

Opening of the
 Free Kindergarten.

On Monday, September 18th, the Free Nndergartens of the city with the excep- ton of the Temple Kindergarten which will not resume it's work until October the 18th, will open their doors to the many little ones, already keen with an- ticipation. Birmingham has at present four free kindergartens, and the oldest Of these the Parent Kindergarten" is To- eated on Nineteenth street near Avenue D. The Bryan Kindergarten, which is on Twenty-second street and Avenue G, while within the management of the Free Kindergarten board, is conducted under the auspices of the Presbyterian church. The work accomplished by the Temple Kindergarten, which numbers among it's little pupils many Poles and Russians has been most encouraging. And those who believe that the life of a cotton mill child is one of absolute dark ness have only to visit the kindergarten at the Avondale Mills to see that light is shining there
 But as beneficial as is this branch of the work, another important feature must be borne in mind, and that is the training class. Here young women are prepared for a vocation which is not only ennobling to themselves, but of an influence so far reaching as to be incalcu- lable To these women is given. in large degree, the moulding of habit, the form ing of character of our future men and women.
 Already there have been seven new applicants for the training class which together with those who have yet to complete the course begun last year, now numbers twelve. But, as encourage ing as this prospect is there should yet be many more to apply for a course of training whose value is increasing stead fly year by year. There also should be in Birmingham, with her forward place in the line of progress, many more kinder garten schools. For like other advanced centers she cannot but realize the value of this training an economic factor.

 The hospital has always done more or less of outdoor relief work-at one period having as many as one hundred cases a month in the out door clinic-but without systematic facilities the results were not satisfactory.
 But, in the new building, apartments on the ground floor were specially designed for free dispensary with a private en- trance and entire isolation from the rest of the building. Quite recently a sepa- rate canvass was made for donations to aid in establishing this work, and the in-

0 r wide interest in Birmingham ana
 throughout the state Is the an-
 nouncement just made by Mrs. Robert Cunningham of her lecture course -"Interpretations and Lectures in Liter ature and Art" She has made a number of engagements and at the Noble lnsti- ute alone will give eighteen lectures.
 The course has been arranged on the Lyceum basis, that is through classes and clubs the expense 10 the individual will be greatly reduced; and also the lectures may be given singly or as a se- ries; six lectures under each head.
 finder "Literature' Mrs. Cunningham has selected three of shakespeare.s dra- mas "Hamlet," "Merchant of Venice and aAs You Like It. his greatest trag- edy his greatest comedy and his great est tragedy-comedy.
 In sIiterature" Mrs Cunningham will also devote series of lectures to Rob ert Browning, an interpretation and care ful analysis of some of the most repre-. sentative poems of the "Subtlest Assert or of the Soul in Song" and whom Mrs. Cunningham considers the greatest pure

 Under Art Culture" Mrs. Cunningham interpreting art as factor in the world progress of religion of the state and of the home, will be lectures on architect ure sculpture and Painting In archi- lecture will be included the study of Ori- ental Greek, Romanesque, Renaissance and Modern. In sculpture will be the T1Ia, schools.
 The lectures on Painting will pro- vide not only a study of the great mas terpieees and galleries, but art in every day life.
 From this general outline of subjects under the heads, Literature" and Art Culture,' 1t will be readily seen that the purpose of these lectures Is to stimulate study and to awaken latent interest in movement that is spreading throughout the north and east, but that has hardly begun to get itself initiated in the south.
 Society seems to be standing upon the threshold of the greatest art movement in history. was a recent significant com ment. but Is this art movement getting itself diffused in the south? Will this art culture, this revival of the beaut- full ever become a permanent social possession with Us as it is in other cities where mans progress is measured by his ideas of beauty?
 What Ruskin once said of the English public In regard to it's need of a sharper discipline than that of reading may be applicable to a large percent of our leisure classes today. You may read all the books in the British museum eff you could live long enough). and remain an utterly 'Illiterate" uneducated person: but if you read ten pages of good book letter by letter-that is to sa V with real accuraey-you are forever in some meas ure more an educated person. The en- tire difference between education and non-education Gas regards the merely in- tellectual port of it), consists in this ac- curacy.

The setting of little feet in paths of reetitude and the filling of little minds with an ideal of beauty cannot but bear a fruitage of good citizenship in the years to come.

The worn-out stomach of the over.fed
millionaire Is often paraded in the pub
lie prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant ON the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo-
pie. and they suffer far worse fortunes
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over IS years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. It tones and vitalizes the en-
