FOR TRADE SCHOOL
Emery Makes Valuable Report
on Recent Investigations
HOW TO RAISE The FUNDS
Special Committee Met Yesterday and
Hopes to Have Tangible Report
Ready for Commercial Club
In the Near Future.

At a meeting of the special committee

on chronological school. which was held
al the club rooms yesterday afternoon.
J. A. Emery made an interesting report
OF an investigation he had made as to
the establishment and maintenance of
such institutions now in operation in the
country.
He read a report ON the establishment
OF the Carnegie archaeological school at
Pitlsburg, which was of great value, and
which gave the members of the commit
tee much information as to the plans on
which such institutions are successfully
launched. He also gave some facts and
figures as to the establishment and MAIN
tenance of other trade schools which were
of interest.
The meeting Of the committee was called

No one Questions Need.

In calling the meeting to order, Chair
man Bush said that no one doubted or
questioned the great need in the Birming-
ham district of chronological or trade
school, which would give practical in
struction in the arts and sciences neces-
sary in the operation of the Industrial
plants of the district The main question
to be considered, he said. was that oil
financing such an institution He stated
that the object of the meeting was to dis
cuss plans and ways and means, so that
some sort of definite report could be
made by the committee to the CONNER
cial club which had commissioned the
committee to make preliminary invests
cations
Colonel Bush stated that since the last
meeting he and some of the members
had made careful research as to the plans
on which other schools had been estab-
lished. He said that the great need In
Birmingham was some institution which
would help the men employed in the local
plants who are unable to attend high
grade institutions on account of the great
expense.

Hardie Tells His Experience.

William Hardie said that he had often
felt the need of a trade school or some
sort of institution giving technical train
ing. lie said that his concern had been
forced at times to take green men and
put them through a course of training in
the shops before they could be entrusted
with positions. lie said that for the past
few years his concern had especially felt
the need of a training school. He sug-
gested that the manufacturing inter-
ests of the district should build, equip
and maintain a chronological school, even
though 1t be on a small scale to begin
with
Bolton Gilreath said that he had long
felt the need of some sort of school for
manuel training in the district, and hoped
that the movement to establish such an
institution in the district would ultimately
succeed.
e. NJ Tutwler discussed the need of
the school and made several valuable
suggestions for the consideration of the
committee.
James j. Smith also made a short adj
dress in which he stressed the need Of
the school and made a few timely sug
gestions.
Colonel Bush announced that he would
call another meeting of the committee In
a short time before a final report is
made to the Commercial club, to which
the heads of corporations in the district
will be invited.

II French Art Runnina Riot.

Clever dealers in artifce-that is
what the majority of painters in
Paris have become. For one man
whose work is "of the centre" you
have scores, hundreds, who are ia
cile and sometimes even accomplish
ed, but in the grain of their work in
curably factitious. They have made
no better use of the freedom from
formula, won by Manet and the 9th
ers, than to put more formulae,
usually very hollow ones, in the
foreground. Little groups are form
ed, each one devoted to the unfold
ing Of a trick which some new man
has made temporarily popular. They
wax and wane, and You wonder why
they ever flourish at all. A sensa-
ton is made at the salon not by
an honest piece of painting with an
original accent, but by some pris-
matte audacity having no relation
to nature. by some purely arbitrary
scheme of chiaroscuro or, as in one
case that l have in mind, by a re-
turn to the ''brown sauce" of the
old masters.,- Royal >Cortissoz in

An Ideal Citizen

The ideal citizen is the man who
believes that all men are brothers
and the nation is merely an extern
sion of his family, to be loved, re-
spected and cared for accordingly.
Such a man attends personally to
all civic duties with w;hich he
deems himself charged. Those
which are within his own. control
he would no more trust to his in
feriors than he would leave the ed
ucation Of his children to Kitchen
servants. The public demands upon
his time, thought and money come
upon him suddenly, and often. they
find him i'll prepared, but he nerves
himself to the inevitable, knowing
that in the village, state and nstion
any mistake or neglect upon his
part must impose az penaltyl sooner
or later upon thoseswhom he loves.

oDoR TAINTED AIR.
II Is Not In Itself Poisonous or Even
UnhealthfuI.

According to the American Mag
azine, FFbad"~ air is not so bad. The
point is explained as follows by
Dr. Hirshberg of Johns Hopkins
university in an article on Popular
Medical Fallacies::" :"
"Foul air-which has for its ac-
cepted meaning air heavy with the
gases and odors of DECAYS not in
itself poisonous or even unhealth-
full. : Unless it contains such large
proportion of foreign gases that it
is noticeably lacking in oxygen its
chief effect is psychic. Some per-
sons, in brief, cannot abide a
stencil. 1t sets their nerves on edge
and excites their imaginations, and
the result is that they grow pallid
and at times seasick.
'"Thus indirectly it may weaken
them and make them an easy prey
to wandering microbes. But of it.
self it produces little direct harm.
Medical students, breathing the un-
spcakable gases and odors of the
dissecting room, manage. to eat vast
dinners and to grow fat. Tanners,
garbage men, workers in fertilizer
factories and other persons who are
habitually surrounded by hair rails
ing aromas are ordinarily just as
healthy as other folk.
'"That foul air is usually laden
with rather more germs and germ
bearing insects than air which
seems Ito the nose) to be pure is
beside the point. Experience shows
that pure air often contains as
many of these enemies to health as
the most foul exudations from a
sewer outlet. The Stegomyia fas-
ciata, which carries the germs of
yellow fever ,,would be just as dead
ly on mountain top as along the
shore of a Louisiana bayou; hence
the absuNlity of shotgun quaran-
tines and of all the other medicinal
manifestations of alarm that appear
