German Ambassador.

A resolution was unanimously adopted inviting the German ambassador at Wash ington to visit Alabama his trip south this fall or winter. E. Lesser stated that nothing would bring more German im- migrants to Birmingham than q strong en- doresment by the ambassador He said that if the ambassador saw Birmingham. Cullman and other places where the Ger mans have settled in this state and that if he was pleased and made an official report that Alabama was an ideal place for German immigrants, that the Germans would put absolute faith in the report and would come to Alabama in large numbers Secretary Babb will send the invitation to the ambassador this week and it Is probable that the Germans in the city will also take active steps to get the am- bassador to come to Birmingham and spend some time here Investigating the conditions.
 In thls same connection MT. Lesser spoke on immigration, urging that official rep resentatives of the state be sent to 'the old country after immigrants. and stating that those picked up in New York were rarely of any account as they were mere Iy tramps He said that the better class of German immigrants had already chosen the place to which they were going before leaving the old country. He also sug. gested plans for receiving them after they arrive
 Dr. II. A. Fl Kourie spoke on the matter of securing immigrants and read a letter from the C. Rasmussen Advertising com pany which claimed to represent a large number of Scandinavian papers in re- gard to securing Norwegians and Swedes from the northern parts of the United States where they have come from the old country.

Shall | attend an Institute?

TIE time of year is here when his
question must be answered by every
teacher of Tennessee. Every teacher
in the State can and should attend either
a County or State Institute. The
teacher who neglects to avail himself of
these opportunities Of improvement, is
fast being crowded from the profession.
The world is. recognizing the fact that
not every one who knows subject can
teach it. 1t is demanding professional
training. For long time 'the what to
teach" was all that was thought neces-
sary To-day the chow to teach" is con-
sidercd very important subject.
Every teacher should receive a nor
NAL school training, but as all cannot
have this opportunity, State and County
Institutes are held to supply this need,
Every teacher should esteem it a
privilege to have the opportunity Of
spending month in professional trtn-
ing,
The aim Of the State Institute is no
to give "the what but "the low ia
teach, " to communicate the best meth
DDS of organizing, governing and in
structing. The work done will of course
be very helpful along lines of review
and revival. The work Of the Institute
should create a scholarly and profess
ional spirit desire to reach high schol
r astic attainments and an ambition t.
attain to artistic excellence in teaching
E when so much help can be gotten iron
t an Institute can any teacher afford no
7 to attend?.
r It is hoped that every teacher in Law
n renee and surrounding counties will at
II tend the Institute to be held at Law
i renceburg. Let us make it the best In
Ii stitute of the State.
