Center pieces and doilies are embroidered. Cording, spinning, dyeing and weaving are done in limited way. Vessels of many shapes and sizes are modelled out of clay.

The educational ideas here fnculcated into the minds of the pupils are spread by them as de- voted teachers, in every school district In the State, and, already the schools power Tor good is recognized and felt throughout the State of Alabama.
 Alabama has entered on a career of advancement and improvement along all lines. Hand in hand with every stride toward its development and prosperity, devoted friends of educa- ton have seen that the State made commensurate progress in this respect as well. Appropriations have been in- creased, new rules have been formu- lated old rules improved, and all with an eye single to the one idea of bet tering the States educational advan- tages. The State has heroically shak- en off the books of illiteracy which have hitherto impeded its progress. and has borne part in the. fight for the promulgation of Knowledge which chal- lenges comparison with any section,

 No reports nor grades are given. When a student fails to do his duty, as through neglect of studies or dis orderly conduct, it is deemed a suf1i- ctent indica ton that he will not make q successful teacher, so he is asked to withdraw from the school.
 No prizes or medals are given for special excellence in any of the grades of the school. The interest is main tained throughout the whole class and a more just conception of the objects of study is acquired by keeping from the student all selfish emulation.
