THINKS THE CITY
 WILL BE ON TIME
Montgomery Seems to Realize the I'm portance of Getting the Proposed
 Methodist School.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of 17th, under the caption Montgomery May Lose the School,'' was special" sent out from Montgomery, relating to supposed slowness upon the part of Montgomery to meet required conditions, and, therefore, a possible like lihood of the loss of the school by that city. The entire cast of that special is misleading, unintentionally so no doubt, but misleading none the less, and hence possibly prejudicial to the Capital City and to the interests of the proposed col lege.
 Therefore. do I seek through your columns to correct any unwarranted con- clusion that might be drawn from your special above alluded to.
 When the joint educational commission of the two Alabama conferences met in Birmingham, January p, the proposition was made that if Montgomery should l)rovide an acceptable college site and $50,- GOO in money the college would be To- cated in that city. No specific time or limit was given for Montgomery to make reply.
 The commission met in Montgomery on the 16th inst for the purpose of consider ing the college interests at large, and to see whether Montgomery would be ready 10 make reply to the conditions. Now, it appears that when the college propo- sitlon went to Montgomery the Commer- cial club of that city said to the Meth odists of Montgomery, you raise $30,OOO and we will raise $20,000 and also did in looking out a proper college site So the canvass was undertaken. The Meth odists with due diligence got to work, share The club, not having been given and succeeded in securing their allotted any limit and supposing that there was ample time did not move with the same expedition, hence did not report ready when the commission met last Tuesday.
 The commission, desiring to set forward this college enterprise as rapidly as pos sible, deemed it wise to pass a resolu- ton requesting Montgomery to be ready with a final answer by the first of May next. That resolution was not designed to express any sort of dissatisfaction touching any part of Montgomery's con- nection with the college project. When MT Forbes, the president of the Capital City Commercial club. came before the commission and was informed of the de- sire to have answer by May 1 he re- auested that the time for Montgomery to be ready to make answer be set for April 25. Accordingly that date was named
 MT. Forbes made emphatic statement that the city of Montgomery was alive to the vast meaning and value arising

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.


 The buildings in course of construction throughout all sections of our city and suburbs cause much wonder to visitors, ana pleasure seekers who make their trips along the car lines. And yet many people are looking for houses-houses equipped for modern hou5ek coping where the dis appointments at the failure of the serv- an appearance do not cause such drudgery to the housekeeps-. Cottages sesrl to be in great demand, were steps are saved. and the space is more con de-hed. In the suburbs many attractive otsage homes. with beautiful flower gar dens, are seen-homes that speak of care an. attention to comfort, and in many very small yards, to the back, can be see'.t the attempt al vegetable culture, and oft small poultry yards. These all in- dicate that while the men are busy financ- in, the women are not drones, but are looking to the material home, even though they may be club women. The influence of contact with people stimu- las ambition and ambition among citi- zens builds the city. Every house built, every tree or shrub planted means that much more improvements. and the growth and well kept appearance en- nance the value of property please the eye anG advertise tie prosperity of the community. For miles around, in every section of the district, the sound of ham, mer and nails fill the air, and yet said d visitor to the city, do you know that Birmingham is crowded? that the trav- ell public finds the hotels crowded, even toe full to take one more?"
