PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FOR THE PUBLIC
Movement to Have Education
Board Allow More Freedom
in Their Use

Since Professor Charles zueblms leo
ture in the auditoaum OF the High
School on SATURDAY. night last on the
Training Of a Citizen" in which he
declared the public schools Of a city
should be devoted more to the use OF
the public than they are. there has been
much discussion among many promi-
nent people OF this city regarding the
advisability OF starting a movement to
have this done.
The lecturer pointed out the many
advantages and the great good to be
derived from the common use OF the
public schools by the public and show
ed how the individuai as well as the
community could benefit He said it
brought the people in closer communi-
cation and taught them to better know
and understand one another.
There is a feeling among the people
that the Board of Education is inclin-
ed 10 regard the schools too much as
their personal property and are too
jealous OF any one who ventures a sug-
gestion that these buildings be used for
anything but school purposes. The pre-
sent movement IS to have the schools
for Just suca purposes as that Of the
Daupfin Institute and similar projects.
1t is not intended to turn them into
theatres or any thing OF the kind 1hut
TO have them for the benefit of the
people The people own them. pay their
support, and simply pay the school
board to look after their proper man
agement. fuft -e

 the Alabama AgricuituraF Association
 in Montgomery. October 23 to 27. in- | elusive Is an evening horse show. While the dates for the exposition are too far away for the plan to have
 assured definite shape. 1t has been talk ed of considerably by those most l prominent in the undertaking. and i there Is small doubt that it will be carried out.
 Some time go 1t was pointed out be provided for the evenings, during fair week. for tho benefit of visitors
 in the city. who. otherwise. would find | the time hanging heavily on their hands. This suggestion was the cause of thought for this matter, and the
 horse show idea has been the result. I There are a number of other pro- jects connected with tho subject of | evening entertainment, which have not yet been developed. bur which will be considered by the Board of Directors
 of the Association. The plans as they
 have thus far been formulated. pro- i vide for a Midway" or Pike" of sfde

 plan of having fireworks on certain | evenings, is also considered. and
 may be carried out. From these em-
 bryonic plans, 1t is safe to assert there will be no lack of entertainment for
 the thousands who will visit the city,
 after the events of the afternoon and | morning have been completed
 No decision has yet been reached by
 the committee on location. and 1t is
 possible that no selection of a site for
 the fair grounds may De made thus
 week. The bad weather of Monday n 'ade the roads impossible for trips of inspection yesterday, and prevented the
 committee from making a second tour
 of inspection.
 It was announced at the headquar-
 ters of the Association yesterday that
 several other deslrble pieces of land
 have been offered for the consideration of the committee. and all these will be looked over and investigated before a final decision of the committee will be reached.
 The agricultural sections of the premium list having been completed, the work of the stock sections of the list Is now being pushed. Secretary J. c. Adams yesterday said that he thought this part of the list would be completed and prepared for pubnca- ton within a few days.
