 The speaker declared that to him it was evident that every country child is just as dear to his parents, is just as valuable to his country and is the re- cipient of just as much love from his God as every city child; that his educa. tional political and religious rights are equal to those of the city child; that many of the blessings of educa- ton received by the city child never reach the rural child since the latter Is denied the careful oversight given the former; that it Is the duty of every one who loves Alabama. who holds dear to his heart the boys and girls on the hills and in the valleys of the State. to give them these school advantages attending proper supervision"

 By requiring daily programs for the schools, he would have the teachers apportion their time properly to all the classes, thus assuring every pupil his just part of the teachers time. He would also see that High School pupils attend the high schools, thus reliev- ing the teachers and elementary pupils of unwarranted crowding."

Indeed, prohibition has rev. olutionized the school system of the Gulf City which has heretofore thrived principally off the revenue from sa- loon licenses. Prohibition has resulted in a general plan of retrerchment on the part of the Educational Board of Mobile.
 Eioquence and originality marked the address of response by D. s. Burleson, of the State Normal College. of Flor ence. He made an especial appeal for the side of practicability in school and college work. What he feared as the tendency of the times Is to stray from the practical in the methods Of in- structing and educating the children of today,
 Tt is as woodrow Wilson recently said." declared Mir. Burleson. We have not been educating our children; we have been imparting information. !"
 Practical Education Needed.
 The establishment of more laborato- rtes in the schools of the State and the institution of more practical ideas generally in the instruction of the pu- pils were earnestly urged by Mir. Burle- son.
 "Is our education practical?" asked

For. since the highest function of ed- ucation Is to turn out men and women. are not all subjects. whether history, physics metaphysics mathematics Lat in German. what not, provided they are so taught as to train the mind to habits of accurate thinking, to the power of gathering premises and drawing cor rect conclusions or forming proper 1tfde eYV1 nt fn fn n ward thought and emotion in effective visible and tangible forms--is not all such knowledge practical in the full est and the highest sense?

 Continuing, MT. Burleson said: 'Is our method such as to get the best re- suits out of what we are teaching? Do we have enough of the investjga- tive. experimental or laboratory spirit? !? Is there not still too much of the old monastic element--that of taking things for granted. that of drawing deductions from what the books say, of speculating on secondhand theo- ries and conventional matters?
 True. agricultural, mechanical and technological schools are continually growing. but these are special, or rath- CT limited to classes in that they are largely professional. What have in mind is more of this laboratory spirit in all of our schools from the most rural and elementary up. Is such in- .struction possible only when the sub 1ect calls for test-tube, microscope or like apparatus? Cannot all pupils be taught in the spirit of earnest inquiry. be led to realize that, whatever may Be the subject. all are in search of the subject. they are all in search of the truth?

 We must remember 1t takes a direct and vital contact with things and mat ters in their original form to arouse real and lively interest. to lead us to the real spirit of scnolarship that has given rise to all industrial and scientific progress"
 Mir. Burleson concluded with an elo- quent appeal for more attention in our schools to the aesthetic and culture side of our public institutions. He was applauded at the end of his address.

 The annual address of President Har- rison, of the Association, which com manded the wrapt attention of the

large audience, dealt more particularly with competent county supervision, high schools and better teachers"
 The president lauded the Alabama public school system.
 Tt is all right" said he, near the beginning of his speech. The distin- gushing peculiarity of our system IS that the county superintendent neod not be a superintendent at all. our laws not requiring that he possess a single characterization of a school superln- tendent, or that he perform any of the peculiar duties of a professional super intendent. In the evolutions of school systems as they are at their best at present, the professional superintend- ent Is a modern arrival. Time was when slaves were teachers; then priests exercised the function of fnstructing learners. Then came those especially set apart for the work of teaching; and finally, to cement the whole. to bring order out of chaos, and to uni- fy whore unity meant so much, the professional superintendent made his advent His going into the larger ci- ties was a slow process. for people are slow to make changes in education al affairs.
