stitutlon as the Girls Industrial school is in a measure lost sight of as it should be because it is all so educational that which it involves is not easily told or easily understood So many mistake it's meaning and purpose
 TO be able to fully understand the high aims of the school and its great edueative value to the state 1t would be necessary to be a part of the life in the institution One should be either stn- dent or member of the faculty to com prehend all that is meant in the struggle to make a girls industrial school rank In the educational world with the highest institutions. It is along this line that the | faculty at the Girls Industrial school | is making year after year, to give to the | young women of the state practical edu- | cation and yet to maintain a thorough scholarship.
 And this fact is needed to be impressed l upon Alabamas women, whether they | prefer a university course or domestic service They should understand that the state through it's industrial institutions is recognizing the value of practical edu- l cation and at the same time is striving to reach high standards in scholarship They should know that Alabama Is con- spicuously abreast In this work of edu- eating it's young women along the broad est lines. and that hundreds of young women are being equipped for their life work in these institutions.

stitutionss that they were inclined 10 make too great a distinction between these institutions and those they consid' cred higher grade.
 But there is certainly far less tendency to undervalue any department of the ln- dustrial institution. The young woman or today who wants to be well equipped mat she may be able to meet all the demands made upon her is gradually awakening to the opportunities that are hers through practical education, and this awakening demands ample provision on the part of the state in the equipment of her educa- tional institutions.
 In Alabamas industrial school the young women are being trained along the broadest lines. In every department the work Is being done thoroughly, and there Is strong cooperation between the students and the faculty. The work this year is more encouraging than ever and the aims of the school. it's high purpose in the history of the state should appeal to every one interested in Alabama educational progress.
 At the meeting of the Alabama Fed eration this week, the work of the Girls Industrial school will be among the i'm portant discussions. The president of the federation desires to bring into closer relationship the school and the federa- tion, her position being that an institution standing for the practical education ot women should appeal to every woman in the state.
 Among the club women prominent in the work for the industrial school Mrs. James McConaughy is a brilliant leader. It was her influence that secured 5000 of the Ogden fund.
