gether very soon after the meeting of the Alabama Educational Association IS ended. They will endeavor to map out a three or four years course of study to be uniform throughout the county schools of the State. The committee will act In an advisory capacity to the State Superintendent of Education. Hon. Harry Gunnels.
 By the provisions of the law provid- Ing for the establishment of county high school In every county of the State. the head of the Department of Education of the State. is charged with the duty of prescribing the course of study to be pursued in these schools and to select the text books. As the State Superintendent of Education Will have to make his selections very soon, he wrote a letter to each of the pres idents of colleges and universities Tn the State suggesting that they organize and by suitable methods agree on nt outline of studies for the schools.
 There was a ready response to this suggestion from the State Superintend- ent and Wednesday night the college presidents held a lengthy session In this city at which temporary organi- zation was perfected by the election Of pr. Juo. w Abercrombie, President or the University of Alabama, as President of the Association of Alabama College Presidents. Prof. c. W. Daughette. President of the Jackson Normal School, was elected temporary secre- tary.
 A committee on bylaws and consti- tuition was also selected yesterday morning by President Abercrombie to

 The prospective bride is a sister of Mrs. J. Oppenheimer of this city and is we'll known in social circles here where she is highly esteemed.

 Mrs. Eugene Everitt was at home yesterday in an interesting and bril- liant reception tended in honor of Miss Clyde Methvin whose enga cement to Capt. K, B. Mckenzie has been an nounced and whose wedding will mark an important social function next Tuesday evening.
 The home was thronged with a large gathering who greatly enjoyed an interesting program of pleasant and instructive features which was crowned with tempting refreshments.

report at the next meeting of the As sociation to be held at a time and place to be designated by Dr. Aber- crombie. This committee Is Composed of pr. s. Nj. Hosmer, chairman, and T. W. Palmer and F. NJ. Shackelford. President of the Troy State Normal School as associate members
 The college presidents present at yesterday mornings sessions went over carefully several suggested details of study for the county high schools. but 1t was considered that the matter should be threshed out elaborately by a committee. Upon this decision, motion was made and carried provfd. ing for the appointment of a commit tee for this purpose.
 One of the primary purposes of the organization of college presidents is to make the county high school course uniform in every county so that a standard will be attained as prepara- tory institutions for the higher col- leges of the State. For instance. it seemed to be the concensus of opinion that the course should be so adjusted that a graduate of the high school in any county should be equirped to en- ter the freshman class of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, the University of Alabama, the Southern University or the Howard College.
 The State Normal Colleges have been especially invited to take an in- terest in the new organization for the reason that the rapid building of the county high schools will result in dearth of good teachers. Thts dearth will particularly apply to the male teachers, ana one of the things that will be guarded against Is allowing the openings on the faculty of the schools to be filled by preponderance of women teachers. This 1t was ex- plained. is not to be taken as uncom- piimentary to the female peda gogues. but is simply stating the necessity of bringing the young mind of the pupil in contact with the strength of the masculine teacher
