Notice to the Patrons Of the Public
Schools of Iron County.

Attention is called to the fact
that every school district in the
state next, year will be required
to have an eight months school,
provided a levy of forty cents on
the hundred dollars assessed val
uation, together with public funds,
will be sufficient therefor. This
means that every district in the
state must levy a tax of forty cents
unless a smaller levy will be suf-
ficient for an eight months term.
This law was passed by the last
General Assembly and went into
effect on the 18th day of June, 1907,
but the Attorney General held
that it could not be made effec-
tive for the school year of 19O7-8,
for the reason that all arrange
ments for the school year had been
made ere the law went into effect,
and it would be unfair to hold dis
tricts responsible and cause them
to forfeit their share of the public
funds for not having an eight
months term when such was not
the law when preparation for the
school year was made.
Estimates for the succeeding
school year must be in the hands
of the County Clerk on or before
the 18th day of May as provided
in section 9771. When the esti-
mates are received the clerk i'm
mediately proceeds to extend the
taxes upon his books.
1t is time to begin thinking
about the annual school meeting.
The people are taxed in order that
funds may be provided to pay for
an eight months school. With
out protest the people give of
their-means that the rising gener-
alton may be educated. Having
done this they have right to ex-
pect at least fair returns. Voting
to increase the tax rate and pay
ing the same does not end ones
responsibility. 1t is the duty OF
every taxpayer and patron to see
to it that everything is done that
will in any way add to the COM
fort, the pleasure and the advance
ment Of the pupil. A good school
board should always be chosen
Intelligent, progressive, liberia
and ambitious citizens should be
made school board members
There are men in every community
who are clear-headed and public
spirited enough not to be influenc
ed by unworthy motives, who will

: work for the best interests of tht
district. AS rule such men ART

It is safe to predict that there will be no such extravagant expenditures by our citizens in the foregin capitals of the world this year as have been usually charged against us. The rich and poor alike are feeling the necessity of living within their incomes Widespread reports to the contrary notwithstanding, there is no great suffering among the masses, or this would be evidenced by wholesa1e withdrawals of deposits from our saw ings bank.

GODS CHILDREN.
Discussion of Relative Influences of
 Environment and Heredity.

How far does the influence of hered- ity extend when contrasted with an environment? This much-mooted ques- tion is discussed by Jacob Riis in the May Delineator, and his conclusion with regard to the advisability of re- ceiving in ones household a child whose antecendents are unknown may be regarded as one solution of this problem.
 "The truth is, we are children of God That is our heredity. Backed by that, what is there of His work and His world that we cannot do?
 "Heredity is a factor, but not an in- vincible one. We can do with the soul what we did with the body. It is just a question of effort, and of the right remedy; The effort is worth making; for the civic death-rate, looking at it from that point of view, is even worse than the baby mortality. Every time boy goes to jail citizen dies. The remedy we know; it is the home, where in Gods world it is the strongest, for it is His own law, His very being. Evil is conqured with good.
 'IneSe are my personal DellelS ana convictions in this matter of heredity, sometimes preached as a doctrine of despair. I cannot see where the de- spair comes in. For 25 years as police reporter in New York, saw all the wickedness of depraved human nature. I saw a seemingly intending succession of young rascals-so the police had stamped them, and the rec ord on the station house blotter bore them outgoing from the slums through the wicket-gate of the Tombs to the prison and to the gallows, and 1t was sight to discourage any one whose horizon was limited by our earth-life. The chill of it abides with me yet. But behind it all l made out also what it was that deprayed their poor human nature, and that the re- , sponsibility lay with us who let it be, whose neglect of the neighbor that had fallen among thieves was to blame for it all The world is no worse than we make it. We also can make it good.

 What of the Doctor.
 Still there are many who think Dr. Gun ningham is looking to the race for gov ernor. He was overwhelmingly defeated by Governor Conner at the last election, but that came his friends say, because of the intense issue bound about the governor and not for any lack of friendship for the doctor. In fact, many have said that if the rate reformers had been confident that he would have stood solid-as solid as Comer-Mr. Conner would not have op- posed him. Be that as it may, he was, prior to his race for the high honor two years ago, considered to be very potent force in Alabama politics. His race for delegate may show just how much of that force he has left. On such showing may depend his future conduct, it Is ar gued here.
 Others Saying Little.
 The aspirants for governor who are known to be considering the race have said little of late, though they are known to be saving more or less timber. Of these Henry B. Gray of Birmingham is the only outspoken candidate, having an- nounced some time since. His magnifi- cent race for lieutenant governor, the place ne now nous, Will make nlfH d man to beat, his friends say. William w. Brandon is cultvating the ground care fully in his high school locating work, and A. H. Carmichael is utilizing all the sources of get there possible to a very busy lawyer far from the seat of gov- ernment. w. D. Seed makes speeches now and then and is very much in the good favor of the temperance people.
 Locating High Schools.
 It looks as if the charge that none of the High schools would be located until after the primaries has not been well founded. Seven have been placed and hearings have been set that will likely see as many more fixed next week. It seems also to be a fact that harmony has prevailed between the three members of the locating board in all the work so far done. Governor Conner, Auditor Bran don and Superintendent of Education Gunnels, so far as the reports indicate have been able to agree in the end on every proposition, though naturally they have not all stood alike on all things However, it is heard from good source that in every essential way the beard is able to get together.
 Course of Study.
 All the High schools will be located in time for the buildings to be erected and school to open on October l. It is also a fact that courses of study will have been prepared and fixed in ample time for teachers to get a line on It. being held back now only by the fact that the text books have not been de- cided upon. The study course is being made out under the supervision of the de- partment Of education, the work being done largely by J. J. Doster, professor of secondary education at the university. Thus it is seen that everything seems to be working together for good to the cause of higher education in the state, with special reference to getting the whole school system fully articulated.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITOL
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery May 2.-(Special.1 .1-The advent of Dr. R. M. Cunningham and State Senator Frank s. Moody into the race for delegates-at-large to the national demo- cratic convention has caused political leaders to sit up and take notice. There are as many ideas about it as there are men to talk. Some believe it means hard fight to prevent instruction for Bryan, others take it that Dr. Cunning ham, who iscredited with having made a lot of money of late, wishes to get back into politics, and still others see no more than a wish on the part of the genial doctor to feel the good will of his fellows in the way of affirmative votes again.
 Cunningham's Record.
 Few men have had more honorable record in the service of the state than Dr. Russell McWhorter Cunningham. Twice he represented the large county of Jefferson in the senate, and before going to Birmingham was the legislator fromi the county of Franklin. He was the first lieutenant governor of the state under the new law and served as chief executive II months, while Governor Jelks was in the west seeking restoration to health. He has been, honored in purely party service on many occasions and has thousands of friends who will be glad to vote for him for one of the state wide places on the ticket.
 Race For Governor.
 It is pretty we'll known by the insiders that great pressure is being brought on two leading Alabamians not now cons1d- cred in the race for governor to come out for the office. Reference is made to for mer Chief Justice s. D. Weakley and Il. s. D. Mallory, chairman of the state dem ocratic committee. Those in position to guess well say that Judge Weakley is not going to be drawn in; that he is holding himself ready to make the fight for chief justice of the supreme court, the place for which he was beaten by the present chief justice, John R. Tyson, in the last state race. A man in touch says: "Weak-
