IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Linn Park.

-ffHi dI hs
 After reading the article in The Age Herald. suggesting the name of Mr. Will liam Halls, Jr. for one Of the three new parks, it occurred to me if the names or some of the old citizens of Birmlng- nam were to be used for this purpose, no more fitting name could be given than that of Linn, after Mr. Charles Linn the first banker of Birmingham, Who built the First National Bank building on the corner of First avenue and fwen- tieth street, now occupied by the R, D. Burnett Cigar company" said an old citizen.
 'At the time the Linn building was erected the property across the street on which the Alabama National bank and other buildings now stand. was corn field. Corn rows could be distinctly seen where former crops had been planted.
 MT Linn's confidence in the future of Birmingham was exemplhed by this building which was known all over the state as "Linn's Folly The strongest reason, in my opinion, however, why one of the parks should be named after him Is that he gave to the people of Birming- ham the use of the first real park, which was situated in the block between First avenue and Morris avenue. now occupied by the Morris hotel, Woodward building, Metropolitan hotel, etc. This block was fenced in, two small summer houses erect ed and seats provided for the citizens by MT. Linn.
 of Birmingham would be glad to see one of the parks named after MT, Linn"

TEACHERS ELECTED FOR NEXT TERM.


At meeting of the school board
held last Saturday evening teachers
for the ensuing term were elected as
follows, the principal having been
elected at previous meeting: Miss
Nina Kintner, of Bethany, assistant
in high school; Miss Nellie Barber, of
Brookfeld, grammar department;
Miss Cassie Heath, intermediate; Miss
Daisie Rankin, second primary; Miss
Florence Moss, first primary.
The only changes from last year
are in the assistant and grammar de-
partment. Miss Kintner is a gradu-
ate of the Council Bluffs high school
and in June will complete a four
years course and graduate from the
State Normal at Kirksville. She is
we'll known here, having been pupil

years ago.
Miss Barber holds a state certifi-
cate and has had several years exper-
lence as teacher, and is now engag-
ed in her second term in the Locust
Creek district southwest of town where
she has given the best of satisfaction.
Miss Matte Smith, who retires
from the Laclede schools after eight.
cen years of faithful service, was not
an applicant for reelection, greatly to
the regret of the entire board and to
a large majority OF the patrons of the
school. During all these years Miss
Smith has come as near giving entire
satisfaction as it is possible for a
teacher to do.
J. R. Hawes was elected janitor

the board voted to retire an
other of the school bonds, and accord

bought one of the finest bred saddle
stations in Missouri. His sire, Mont
rose Superior, is by old Montrose, dam
by old Black Squirrel; his dam, Fan
ny Rose, is by Thos. Ruby, by the

saddle horse alone, but his superior
size and strong muscular development
make him very desirable as a driver
or farm horse. He is seal brown, 4
years old, 16 hands high and weighs
1900 pounds, and has the fine finish
and high style of a show horse. Mr..

COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW.
Some Salient Features Of the New Law
Which Takes Effect June 10.

State Superintendent of Public
Schools, w. T. Darlington, has giveI
out some of the silent features of the
compulsory school attendance law,
which becomes operative June Is. He
thinks it will increase the average
enrolment in the state fully 10 per
cent, and the average attendance 20
per cent, if school boards do their
duty as required by law. The essen
tial features are pointed out by Supt.
Darlington as follows:
Every child between s and IA shall
attend regularly some day school not
less than half the time the school is
in session. Every child between II
and 16 who is not actually, regularly
and lawfully employed shall attend
school. A child may be temporarily
excused by court having competent
jurisdiction from attending school on
account of mental or physical inca
pacity; if guardian or parent is unable
to provide proper clothing; if there is
no school within two and one-half
miles Of the residence; if the child has
already completed the common school
course; if the labor of the child is
absolutely necessary to support the
family.
Any parent or guardian who vio-
lates the provisions of this law is
guilty of misdemeanor and is subject |
to both fine and imprisonment. The
enforcement of the law devolves on
school boards. In cities of 5000 or
more they may appoint truant officers
to enforce the law, and pay such
officers out of the school funds.
No child between and IA shall be
employed in mine, factory, workshop
or mercantile establishment unless
such child has complied with all the
requirements regarding attendance,
excuses, etc.
Any person who employees a child
between 8 and IA without securing a
certificate from school authorities that
said child has complied with the law,
S guilty of mlsdemeanor and subject
o fine of $50 and costs. 6
School boards shall publish or post t
lotices of the provisions of this law f
ust before the opening of school each a
ear. Members of school boards and |
egularly appointed truant officers t
nay arrest any child not legally ex-
used from attending school and put
he child in some day school that the
aren't or guardian may select. In :
ase parent or guardian makes no
hoice then in the public school of the
istrict. Although the law requires
tendance of only half the time, no =
hid can be excused from attendance
o that account till he has complied "
ith the law. In other words, child y
annot be excused from attending the b
rst half on condition that he attend d.
he last half, but he may be excused CT
ON attending when he has complied W
ith the law by attending half the Y
.rm.

Traitors to Their Sex

From an English source comes Q hint which American women need less. perhaps, than most of their sis valuable and timely. 'It is to be feared" says the GentIewoman, that the average mans sense of the fitness of things has become dulled by the incense of adulation which is being continually offered up to him by the Eternal Feminine. A little wholesome neglect would do him no end of good" Men are naturally vain. and adulation makes them intolerable. True, they have had of late more blame than praise from womens clubs and other organizations for the spread of truth. But that Is required to reduce them to a condition of bated breath and whispering humbleness is the direct personal action of their nearest md dearest. They will not heed the nut terings of the tempest abroad while their domestic hearthstones are the abodes of peace and quietness.
 Women in the mass may denounce men all they please, but as individ- uals they set out to attract them by f1attery and dOcility. "DirectIy or in- directly" says another English jour nal, i've are all interested in the pur- suit of the desirable male. for whom every function is really arranged. whatever be the ostensible reason" It is. of course, much easier to discipline a present than a prospective husband. But there are obviously dangers in persuading the unattached man that he has only to command to be obeyed. He will be much harder to tame as a husband. Far better is it to teach him his place from the very cradle. This is the immediate dut-, of all women; and those who are false to it, who for personal reasons make themselves merely subordinate. are traitors to their sex
