oruited almost up to the limit and tho
additions are excellent material. The
attendance at drills anu meetings Is
unusually large. Last year, following
tho arrival of the new battery of,
fbreech-loading guns, was the best in
the history Of the command, but this
promises to exceed even that. The
battery drills every Tuesday night at

the occupancy of the old cavalry armory,
and will equip it rs n gymnasium and

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
Meeting on Saturday Will Discuss
Election of Superintendent.

The school teachers of Jefferson coun-
ty are called to attend meeting To-
morrow morning in the city hall at 10
o'clock for the purpose of further dis
cussing the report of the legislative COM
mittee.
Last Saturday, at a regular meeting of
the Jefferson County Teachers assoela-
ton a resolution was proposed by Prof.
S. A. Ellis to the effect that the county
superintendent should be elected by
popular vote. This resolution was dis
cussed at considerable length by the rro-
poser, but no definite action was taken.
The meeting adorned until tomorrow.
In a conversation with one of the
teachers it was ascertained that at a
meeting of the Alabama Education assoc
citation which met last year in Tusca-
loosa a committee was appointed to SUE
eest legislation for the state upon the
question of school betterment. That
committee was composed of DIR. Ahcf-
crombie, president; Superintendent +, {.
Striplin of Gadsden, Superintendent J. II.
Phillips of Birmingham, Prof. |. w Nc
Adorv of Birmingham and Professor vii
1fngham of Wetumpka. That committee
appointed subcommittee TO deal with
particular phases of the education ques-
ton and Prof. /. w. McAdory was ap-
pointed a committee of one TO draft
bill dealing with county superintendent
Instead of making his report to the cont
mittee. Professor McAdory reported 10
the County Teachers association to set
its opinion on the subject.
Professor McAdory's report favored tne
election of county superintements by the
county boards of education, While Pro-
fessor Ellis desires that the election De
made by the people. It appears there is
much to be said on both sides OF ire
question, and tomorrow's debate Is likely
to be attended with considerable interest.
