The Best English.

 Where Is the best English spoken? The question has been addressed to a contemporary by an American who wishes his little daughter to get the best accent that Is put on the market. One would be puzzled to name the town or city where the best English is spok- en- In Germany the best German Ia claimed by Hanover; in France the best French Is heard on the stage; in spain Castle sets the note; and Boston aspIres to give laws of speech to the American continent. But who shall fix upon the English lawgiver. It is not London, whose distinctive accent is as horrible in English as that of Berlin Is in German. It is certainly not Cardiff, whence comes one of the candidates for the American fathers dollars

Its Growth is Said to Be
 Without a Parallel.
By WI T. sheshan.

Jacksonvilie. Ala, July 2s.--(speciai Correspondence.) The enrolment of the Jacksonville Normal School num- bered insthe year just closed sSf In the normal department. In 1899 the total enrollment in the same department numbered only s6. The growth of the Jacksonville Normal School has been most remarkable. Tn fact 1t ia said to be without parallel In the educa- | tional history of the state.
 Prof. c. W. Daugette was called to the head of the school in the yeor 1899. the year in which the remarkable 1 growth of the school begun. This fact has an important bearing upon the unparalleled development of the Jack sonville Normal School. In his iabors for the welfare Of the school Profess sor Daugette brought to bear the knowledge and appreciation of modern conditions, thorough sympathy with the educational leaders of Alabama, knowledge of educational conditions an unfiagging energy and executive talents of a rare order.
 He was favored. however, fin tho Held in which he was called to do his work For Jacksonville Is an ideal Location for a school. It is high in the noun tains. A place of rare beauty the surroundings which nature has given 1t are of the loveIiest. The town sits upon a high hill and verdant noun tains and hills surround 1t.
 Typical Southern Town.
 It is a typical Southern town in the beauty the quiet and the culture of It's social life. It is the sort of town wherein are most inducements to thought, to study and to mental im- provement. No school could have a better setting, for there is no feverish settlements to distract attention from studies or to induce a student to for get his earnest purposes in life.
 The widespread development of edu- cation in every sectson of Alabama had its own bearing upon the growth Of the Normal School at Jacksonville. For In the growth of the demand for better schools In Aiabama there was the increased demand for better teach CTS for the schools. The State examina- ton law established the highest standard for teachers that has ever prevailed in Alabama. It demanded efficiency of every teacher of the State whether he taught in the wooden school house fin the country or in the brick structure of the city schools. To meet that demand for teachers--for teachers of training and efficiency, Jacksonville has devoted itself most successfully.
 And in this work the school has kept abreast of the best modern educational thought. The modern idea of the teacher, able trained and with execu- tive ability is the ideal aimed at at Jacksonville. To accomplish this in it's instruction is the persistent en- deavor of the Normal School. The high standard of the school, as a Normal School may be appreciated

 To illustrate exactly what he meant, Coquelin told a story of Talma. prob ably the greatest actor that modern Europe has produced. when suddenly apprised of the death. of his father.
