 The faculty for the coming years is stronger than usual and the fine standard maintained in all departments of work will be continued.

 Miss Morton continues at the head of the music department where she has met with signal success. In modern languages Mile. Olga Buttel will be the instructor, and Miss Jones continues at the head of the art school.
 In the annual announcement much em- phasis is placed upon Birmingham's ad- vantages as an educational center, and in a partial list of lecturers, and music ians who have visited this city within the past few months. it is readily seen that Birmingham offers many oppurtuni- ties to students of attending lectures and of hearing high class music.
 As is pointed out in seminary pros peetus:
 Young ladies pursuing their education in a city enjoy many advantages that cannot be had elsewhere. Cities are be- coming more and more the centers of cul- ture and refinement. In them the best lecturers musicians and artists may be heard and seen, consequently a school course in a city of Brmngham's size and location offers educational benefits equivalent to a years travel. Lectures are given in the seminary at intervals during the session, by both travelling and local talent Recitals are given monthly by pupils, teachers and visiting artists. Pupils recltals are a stimulus to all dili- gent, ambitious students. Recitals given by teachers and visiting artists are worth many lessons to pupils, as they show what results may be attained by applica- ton and high aspiration The most noted authors, readers, lecturers and m9 7'ans who visit the south at all come to Bir- mingham, and the pupils of the semi nary are always privileged to attend their entertainments
