FIRES IN AUGUST .
Montgomery Department Complete
 Report for Month.

Montgomery Department Completes Report for Month.
 During the month of August the Montgomery fire department answered ten alarms and the losses by fire were comparatively light.
 These facts are gleaned from the monthly report of the department com pleted yesterday by Assistant Fire Chief E. J. Griffith.
 Two of the alarms were sent In by the Gamewell system and the remain ing eight calls were by telephone Cit izens of Montgomery have long shown a preference for using the telephone to sound alarms of fire.
 The character of buildings involved in the August report were: One two story brick building. one two-story frame building and seven one-story frame buildings. One of the fires was outside the city limits. The value or buildings at risk was $79,050. The value of the contents of these build ings was $500. due to the fact that the contents of some of the buildings were figured in the approximate value of the buildings themselves. The loss on buildings during the month was $2,455. The insurance on these buildings was $46.S50. Insurance paid on the build ings damaged by fire amounted to $1.- 255. The loss on contents of buildings during August was $500, which amount was paid by insurance companies.
 The fire loss during August over the Insurance. meaning property not in sured. was $1.200. This represented the loss by the burning of the grand stand at Riverside, one of the largest fires of the month.
 Other fires during August causing material loss was damage to the res idence and store of J. W. Powell on Adams Street. and loss of about S400 in damages to the cooperage works in | North Montgomery.

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL.
Assistant Teachers.


 MT. Waldo E. Marion, of the Univer- sity of Georgia, comes to the University School with high testimonials from his former instructors and from persons qualified to bear testimony as to his success as teacher. Search where you will, you cannot find a superior man for your line of work" says a pro- lessor of the University of Georgia. in recommending Mir. Marion. He is a splendid scholar, a cultured gentleman, and a successful teacher"
 Dr. R. M. Smith, of Farmville, Vir- ginia, one of the brightest and most highly educated men in the teaching profession of this country, has also ao- cepted a position as instructor in the University School He holds the degree of Master of Arts of the University of Virginia. and of Ph. D. of Leipsic. Ger many Dr. Smith was at one time assistant professor of Latin in the Uni versity of Virginia Subsequently for ten years he held the professorship of German, Greek, and Hebrew In Ran dolph- Macon College. For the last five years he has been principal of a high school in Virginia. He is a good mathematician and an excellent lin- guist. being familiar with English, French. German, Latin, Greek, Hebrew. and Sanscrit. His Greek books have received high commendation. Study of Creek" Light of Ancient Creeks" and studies in Greek New Testament" are used as college textbooks. The prin- cipal of the University School was intimately associated with Dr. Smith in college days, and he, therefore con fidently congratulates the pupils of the University School on the prospect of having this session the enthusiastic efforts of such an experienced and scholarly christian educator as Dr.. Smith.
 Dr. Albert R. Haley. of Nashville, will have charge of the classes in physics and chemistry. Dr. Haley is graduate of the medical department of Vanderbilt University and was for two years assistant instructor in chemistry.
 Professor Starke is making a special effort this session to improve the classes in English at the University School The whole number of pupils has been divided into two separate literary societies of which pr, Smith and Mir. Marion are now the respective presidents It Is proposed that each of the societies shall meet every Friday afternoon during school hours to en- gage in debates. declamations, and the like. Once month the two societies are expected to meet in joint debate. As these meetings are held during school hours and under the supervision of teachers, their work Is regarded as a part of the English course.
 The school paper. called The Univer- sity School Boy, will be looked after specially by Dr. Haley, who has had experience in this line of work. It will be his aim to secure, as far as possible, the sympathy and aid of the pupils of the school in making The school Boy interesting to subscribers.
 In English, in history, in mathe- matics, in ancient and in modern languages, the University School has probabl ynever offered it's pupils great CT advantages than are offered for the session just begun Adv

TO BOOKS TOMORROW
MONTGOMERY SCHOOLS WILL BE-
 GIN THE YEAR.
Clifton College Building Will Be Abandoned and Vacant Resi-
 deMce Will Be Rented for Sayre Street Overflow.

Montgomery school children will go back to their books tomorrow morning at s:4S o'clock when the public schools will be opened for the scholastic year 1905-06. .....
 In pursuance of a resolution adopted by the City Council the old Chiffon College building which has been used as an annex of the Sayre Street school. will be abandoned, it having been de- clared to be in an unsafe condition. Acting Mayor c. P. Mcintyre said yes- terday that vacant residence in the immediate neighborhood of the Sayre Street school would be rented for the overflow of pupils and if this building would not accommodate all of the pu- pills an arrangement would be made whereby they would be cared for in the other schools. It is probable the pri- mary grade children will be housed in the residence to be rented.
 Some inconvenience is expected the first week at the Sayre Street school as 1t is probable the city cannot secure possession of the residence until Oc- tober l, which is moving day in Mont gomery.
 Just what will be done with the Chiffon College building has not been determined. The resolution adopted by the Council directed the Mayor to sell
 
 diversity of opinion as to the condition of the old building, the City Engineer holding that it Is not unsafe Acting Mayor Mcintyre said yesterday that he would not run counter to the Judgment of the Aldermen and members of the Board of Education. Consequently he was cooperating with the School Board in securing quarters for the overflow pupils of the Sayre Street School
 At II o'clock yesterday morning all of the school principals and teachers of the public schools met with Super intendent c. L. Floyd at his office in the Girls High School building on South Lawrence Street and details of the opening tomorrow were perfected.
 It is not expected that much work will be performed by the schools to- morrow. The pupils will report and be assigned to their rooms. The real work of the schools will be taken up Tuesday.
