HIGH SCHOOL COMMITTEE
 APPEALS TO CITIZENS

The county high school committee has issued the following address;
 Birmingham, Ala, December 21, 1907. To the Citizens of Jefferson County:
 We. .$the high school committee of the Jefferson County Teachers association, de- sire to call the attention of the public to the following considerations in regard to locating the Jefferson county high school by the state high school commis sion.
 Under the terms of the law creating the county high school, only secondary studies; that is, those above the grammar school branches, can be taught in such school, and no tuition fees can be charged any pupil who attends nor can any To- cal primary or grammar school be con nected with such county high school. The school after being located by the state high school commission is to be conducted by said high school commits sionAin connection with the county board of education. These provisions insure to the children of the whole county free high school absolutely segregated from all local influence, thus making it truly a county high school and by no means an affair of local concern.
 The law requires a donation of not less than $5000 in money and five acres of land by the people of any county as a minimum requirement. for building and equipment, before the high school commission can locate such school The state appropriation for Operating ex- penses is 5000 year after such school has been located.
 The high school commission has an- nounced that in passing on .applica- tions for locating the high school con- sideration will be given to increased do- nations of land and increased funds for building and equipment, ana in order that "a teaching force creditable alike to the county and the state" may be pro- cured supplement to the state appro- priation for operating the school will be expected. An opportunity is thus af- forded to the counties, and especially to the wealthy counties, to establish ade- auate high schools for the people, carrying the prestige of state influence.
 This high school should embody course of study, both academic and practical, an academic course of four years of work, together with a course in practical training, thus fitting those who attend such school for beginning life with some power to do as well as to know. This practical course of train- ing should be so arranged that the boys and girls of limited means could make
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-22

1t a means Of self-help while attend ing school
 The benefits of the county high school are: D High school training to enable large class who otherwise must face the problems of life with only the meager training of the elementary schools; @ healthy stimulus to the pupils of the grammar schools of the county to more efficient preparatory work for the high school; (2t- better preparatory work by those who may attend the state colleges, and (D a unifying of our present school system by bridging the gap now existing between our grammar school grades and our state colleges and university.
 Will the people of Jefferson county, with all of it's resources developed and undeveloped, be content with high school costing, equipment and all. only $500 located on five acres of land and operated with only 5000 year? Could the people olok with pride upon such an institution? Would the boys and girls of the county be inspired and elated with the thought that as soon as they had completed the grammar school course of their home school. they might then att tend sucha school? Would they in after years point with. pride to the fact that they had once attended such a school? The answer is plain enough.
 What then should be the minimum requirement., for locating the Jefferson county high school? The teachers of the county believe that s25.OO0 for building, s25OO0 for equipment, 100 acres of land, and 5000 for operating expenses per year should be the minimum offered the high school commission for locating the Jeffer- son county high school. We believe that the people of this great county do not expect this school to be of such mean proportions that it will not com, mand their respect and patronage. To make the county high school what it should be the people must provide the money and the land over and above pro- vided by the state. We, therefore. urge that every citizen who feels an interest in the educational welfare of his county see to it that this school shall be credit to the county and the state, and that they give their influence and their means to that end. Respectfully submitted.
