AGAINST WATER COMPANY.
Judge Coleman Hands Down Decision
 In Anniston.

Anniston. July 7.-(Special) "A decision Of vital interest to nearly every citizen of the state as well as the city was handed down by Judge Coleman of the Anniston city court yesterday. The decision was in the case of the Anniston Water Supply company vs. Thomas F. Kilby. mayor, and the City council of Annistotn. Not long since the Water Supply company pe- tltioned the city to issue a permit for excavation on certain streets of the city for placing meters.
 The council laid aside the petition in order that the permission of the own CTS of property adjoining could be se- cured in writing. The water company en- deavored to mandamus the council but Judge Coleman in his opinion decided by dismissing the mandamus. The case will probably not be appealed as similar case vas reported few days ago, the supreme court handing down a decision in the Birmingham Water Works case The next step of the water company will be watch- cd with interest

MAKES LAST APPEARANCE.
MT. Hughes Continues the Subject of
 Childhood Training.

University, July 7.-(Special )-This morning at 10;3O James L. Hughes made his last appearance before the general assembly of the summer school, deliver ing his concluding talk on the dwarf ing of childhood by training. He began by speaking of coercion which he dis cussed at length yesterday, saying that coercion Is the parent of anarchy and dis honesty. In speaking Of the faults in teaching he said that the power to com municate knowledge does not constitute success; the teacher must be able to kindle the child. We dwarf the children by teach ing them formal things too early, by making them problem solvers and not problem finders, and by making them copyists Unconscious copying is not harmful but where one sets up a model and sets himself to copy it servilely 1t annihilates the growth of individuality. Criticism is also dwarfing in that it does rot stimulate selfhood Another fault is that the children are not allowed enough choice in their work. Of course the sub jects have to be chosen for them, but in prosecuting the work allowance should be made for the child's Individuality. Fin ally we ought to develop the imaginations more than we do.
 Last night MT Hughes delivered his last and probably his best lecture before the summer school on Dickens as an edu- cator. He said in part:
 Dickens was a great positive educa- tor, being not mercy an observer. In his writings he discusses twenty-eight dif- ferent schools, describing the bad ones in order to arouse the English people to the needs of better education. He was the greatest student of children of the Eng fish speaking people, wrote the best arti- cle ever written abort the Kindergarten. and was the first to advocate the teaching of defectives, Today there are four mill lions of children in the public schools of England through Dickens influence.
 Early in life he decided to attack coer- cion and cramming, both of which are detrimental to child development. and in his writings he discusses fourteen types of the former, all of which are destructive of character. Every form of examining he ridicules, especially in Dombey and Son. He revealed the importance of free childhood and taught the supreme value of Individuality. Dickens paid attention also to the need of physical education and the importance of nutrition in the de- veopment of the chllds' powers"
 MT Hughes made extensive references to the characters of Dickens books un- der each heading. to show that Dickens wrote largely for the purpose of rous- ing interest in the child in all parts of educational development.
 pleasant feature of the evenings programme was the reading of Miss Hurst who rendered three selections in her most charming and tasteful manner.
