end Of town, to whom we recently
referred in these columns, as seem
ing anxious to have something to
talk about.
Monday was our "busy day." We
had the pleasure (?) of Landing
four out of five truants. This non
sense can be broken up if the peo-
pie will render us half as much as
sistance as are our mayor and police
force. Any one will greatly oblige
us if on discovering any truants he
will just call up by phone, one of
the school buildings and report same
to teacher, who will promptly re-
port same to the Superintendent.
We have decided to have no gifts
or treats in the schools this year.
We mean by this that children, as a
school, will not be permitted to give
presents to teachers, and teachers
will not be permitted to treat the
children, as a school. Of course
this does not affect the giving of
presents in private way outside of
the school. We are not arguing
this matter and have no intention of
doing so, but the regulation will
have to stand. No gifts will be ex
changed between teacher and school,
or school and teacher. Teachers will
not accept presents If given by a
school, as a school. Children desir-
ing TO remember teachers must do so
entirely outside of the school.

on the way home from SCHOOL, and
the very light punishment of requir-
ing these boys to remain after school
for five evenings, was inflicted. The
second evening they remained, the
irate and certainly unwise mother
sent the following note to the teach
er while they were still remaining:
81 want you to send my Boys
home you are not a going to keep
them in any longer you had no bust
ness to do it at all if you don't care
how much - Qittle girls
name) nockes them down there was a
bump on his head as big as egg
and you did not punish her for it
and if you don't let them out Mr.
said they could not go to you any
longer --'
We did not permit the teacher. to
remit the punishment, 80 the boys
we're taken out of school. They were
thus gratifying a parents ill temper,
but are ignorsntly suffering loss
for which they will surely condemn
the parent in after years. These
boys being under eight, are out Of
the reach of the law, else we would
see that they attend school, In our
humble opinion the parent erred in
this case. 1st-In encouraging chill
dren to defy authority; 2d-In writ
ing a very discourteous note to a
wellmeaning teacher; 3d-In seeking
redress for an alleged grievance in
the wrong manner and in the wrong
place; 4th-In depriving two chill
dren of the advantages of the school,
Now who In this case is the loser 2
Is the teacher? In no wise. The
teacher has probably forgotten the
circumstance. Is the school? By
no means, for the school is just as
efficient as ever to all who avail
themselves of its benign influence.
Is the superintendent? If so we are
unconscious of any loss. No, the
A
helpless and innocent children must
suffer, that parents whlm may be
gratifed and the anger appeased.
A conference with the mother
brought no satisfactory result. The
punishment, she said, would have to
be RENTED or the father, she SAID,
would retaliate (2) by removing the
boys from school. But was a single
point really gained by removing the
boys from school2 No, no, not a
single point, but on the contrary
this action caused the boys, who eau
not help themselves, to suffer an ir-
retrivsble loss. Verify, here is some
thing else to think about. Let us
all think.

turned and received bis punishment

The News of Birmingham

Birmingham, Nov. N.-(Special. .)-It w12 announced here today by a prominent iron man that pig iron prices had gone to the bottom notch. and that the future pros- poets were decidedly better. He stated that prices had gone to So per ton for No. 2 foundry, against $l5 and $16 six months ago, and that now $9. 50 was about the low figure for No. 2. with not an over-abundant amount of iron to be had at s9.5O. Small lots of iron are selling at Sy.T5 per ton. The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company during the month of November already sold over S0,0u0 tons and delivery will be made on it just as quickly as possible so that by the turn of the year better prices can prevail. The production of pig iron in Alabama is hold ing up well. It is acknowledged that Alabama iron has for several weeks now, with low prices, been giving Northern and Western iron strong competition, forcing suspension of operations of furnaces h the sections named. President J. c. Ma ben of the Sloss- Sheffield Company today asserted that furnace companies were not hunting customers as badly as they were a few weeks since but that conditions had changed around a little and customers were now hunting manufacturers. Sur plus iron in the Birmingham district has been reduced about 50 per cent.

CONSUMPTION

Mir. E. G. Fowler. our well-known druggist. has given a good deal of time to inc study of consumption, and finds that comparatively few cases are heredl- tary.

 Such an unnecessary end such pity for all could have been so different.

The men working the town have turned in 400 slip books, averaging sixty pages to the book and each page holds the name of a citizen of Montgomery: This would make 2l,OOO names and the multiple used in compiling all city directories is three, which would give Montgomery a population of 72.OOO. It is estimated that, at least 20,O4o of the names are duplicates and the population. after all duplicates have been taken out, will be between 50.000 and 52,000 In the opinion of MT. Mullins.
 The directory men will leave today for Jacksonville, Fla. for the purpose of getting the data for the Jacksonville, 1904 directory.
 Montgomery, Birmingham and Mobile directories are published by the company at the same time. men in each of these cities go to work after all the moving about in these cities on October 1st, but as the Jacksonville moving day is Decem- Der 1st, work cannot begin there until after that date.
