Washington, November 7-At the regu- lar quarterly meeting of the executive council of the Bureau of American Re publics at the state department today, at the instance of Secretary Root, who presided, resolutions of condolence were adoped upon the death of Senor Jorg MunoZ late minister to Washington from Guatemala, and Senor Perazza of Venezuela, one of the founders of the. bureau. Sympathy was also expressed with Senor Cassasus who was compelle by i'll health to resign his office as Ameril can ambassador. Senor Calderon, the Bo- livian minister, delivered brief address thanking the chairman and Secretary Root for making his recent visit to South and Central America.
 The secretary in a happy response, said that the people of America, as one result of that trip, probably knew more of their southern neighbors than they did be- fore.
 The report of Director Fox upon the work of the bureau for the last year, lays particular stress upon the fact that it's success depends entirely upon a convic- ton on the part of the people of the three Americas on its sincerity and unselfish- ness of motives.

 'eThe men who have made Birmingham, who laid here the foundations for great center of numberless industries, who have shown what faith and courage and per sistance can do, are now the men to see to it that those who are to carry on the work after they shall have passed on shall have opportunities which they never en- joyed. Mines and quarries and furnaces and mills and factories are multiplying on every hand, but the teachnical schools which are to train the men which the future vii surely demand are as yet in- choate. Is it not time that we should do something for them ?That here in this won- derful valley, where countless chimneys pierce the sky, there shall also arise the stately buildings of a great technical school, built, endowed and maintained by the men who have made this city a city of workers?
 T call to mind an official of the United States Steel corporation who, although not very rich man. gave nearly the tenth of his fortune to the erection and equipment of metallurgical laboratory at his old college.

 Are there such men here? Assuredly, for Birmingham never lacks the best of everything and the best of all things else is the man who helps his fellow man."

Regarding the Colleges.

"There are not lacking those who de- clare in our day that the tendency of edu- cation Is away from the practical side of things and that young men from the schools and colleges are less inclined to engage in manual labor and more and more inclined to those pursuits which wholly erroneous nomenclature has de- signated the 'genteel professions.' There is enough of truth in this complaint to warrant it's careful consideration. The college graduate has come in for q good deal of criticism, unjustly bestored, for he is merely the victim of a system which does not value rightly all of the com plex relations of modern life.
 ''Far be it from me to undervalue the usefulness of the colleges or in any wise to detract from the work which their graduates are doing. The point is that the work they are not fitted to do is just as important to the healthful growth of the city, the state and the nation as what they are really doing. There can be no stability in a great industrial com munity without adequate training in the business upon which the importance and the power of the community rests. It lies
 
 with that community to determine whcth- CT it's men shall be trained at home, where there are daily opportunities for the study of local conditions, or whether they shall be sent elsewhere. The same principal which governs the establishment of col leges and universities within the con- fines of any one state maintains in great CT force with respect to technical schools.
 ''rhere has never been period in the history of Birmingham when there was such steady and unceasing demand for men who can do things, for machinists and carpenters, for blacksmths and elec- tricians, for engineers and chemists; not for apprentices but for trained men, There is a certain university in a southern state where there is excellent training in chemistry.
