 She must be present at innumerable teachers meetings, called often with out plan or purpose, leadership or di- rection, beginning or end, and with no visible earthly purpose save to con- sume time and have a meeting.
 "Ehe must govern wild and wicked children even when parents fail. She must be as wise as Solomon. as patient as Job, as strong and enduring as Caesar and as tender as Maecenas. She must be a model of propriety in all things, for are not the eyes of the whole community upon her? She must know the usages of the world and of soci- ety, but must stand aloof from both. She must spend hours upon hours devislng lesson plans, making reports. compiling statistics, striking balances and averages, figuring standings, cor recting countless papers. tabulating foolish answers to silly questions with a machine-like expertness of the train ed accountant to make more formid- able and less readable the superin- tendent's report, and impress a confld- ing public with the complicated ma chinery necessary to a system of ed ucation.

Committee, will be elected President. He will make a good race for the of- nee if he decides to let his name be presented to the convention this morn ing. There will be also reports of the several committees at the session which begins this morning.
 According to the plans of the Exec utfve Committee of the Association, the morning session yesterday at The Grand Theatre was the longest of the convention of teachers. Eight papers were delivered. dealing with four sub divisions of the general subject. The Professional Dignity of Teaching" All these papers were good and sound and showed that they had been carefully prepared.
 On account of the wholesome humor with which their thoughts were in- terspersed, the discussions by Miss Sa- rah E. Luther of Opelika, pr. George Petrie of Auburn. and W. H. MacKel- lar of Dayton, were punctuated with uncommon applause. When each of these speakers arose there seemed to be general recognition of his enter taining reputation as there was ap- plause before the beginning of the pa- pers.
 Miss Luther marshalled her wit un- der the subject. The Personal Life of the Teacher" On this subject J. B. Hobdy, of Albertville, had already spoken eloquently and well.
 Miss Luther took thiss opportunity of stressing the voluminous and end- less things that are usually expected of the pedagogue.
 "Who Is this teacher. whose personal life we are to discuss?" asked the read CT. Whose life Is to be such as to add dignity to the profession? She must teach the three R's as In the oIden time; but mark the additions She must. teach physiology with all the skill of a physician, but without his opportunity for hiding his mistakes. She must teach civics with all the learning of a lawyer but without his library. She must teach virtue and Godliness with all the zeal of a minis- ter but without his sectarian bias.
 Under the title of nature lessons she must teach the elements of all the sciences known to man. and that without a textbook. She must teach music, drawing. penmanship and phys ical culture, but must give the su- pervisor all the credit for the success attained. She must teach the effects of alcohol and narcotics with all the en- thusiasm of the original Investigator. the laboratory methods of the expert chemist and the blind devotion of the religious zealot.
 "She must teach business forms, bus mess usages. short cuts and brief methods with all the knowledge of book keeper. or the schools are irn- practical. She must do a continuous performance in the line of new and untried theories which she well knows are impractical and worthless to keep things stirred up for fear some one will call her an old fogy.

It is commonly recognized that a man or a woman has got to stand well in this organization and manifest an abiding interest in the aims of the Association before he can hope for promotion.
 The local Executive Committee has found itself overwhelmed with nur.bers in finding lodging for this enormous crowd of visitors. All of yesterday ef- forts were put forth to locate scores and hundreds of the teachers in sleep ing places.

without a bed as late as midnight Thursday. He finally located a room, however, and snatched few hours of rest to fit him for the labors of the day following.
 Secretary Griggs said yesterday that 1t is a gratifying showing that this convention of teachers has made.
 'The growth has been wonderful" said Mir. Griggs. "In Tuscaloosa four years ago there was an attendance of 165, if I remember correctly. The fol. lowing year there was an attendance of 265. Year before last we witnessed an attendance of over 500 in Birm- ingham, and last year we enrolled 756 in Mobile. We determined then to make the enrolment in Montgomery this year 1000. You see we have over. shot our aim. ItIs a magnificent fFosse for the educational interests of Ala bama.p
 There WAS an interesting session of the Association yesterday morning in The Grand Theatre. It was the third general session of the body since the beginning of the convention. It ri vailed in interest the well-attended session of Thursday afternoon as we'll as that of Thursday night in the Court Street Methodist Church. The differ ence between the sessions of Thursday and Friday were in the nature of the occasions. There was more of the per- functory and introductory Thursday afternoon and night.

 The Governors Theme -,
 Last night there was a large crowd of a mixed audience to hear the ad- dress of Governor Conner. He spoke on the broad subject of ''Education." and alluded frequently to the recent enactments of the Alabama Legislature looking tds the betterment of the thous-- ands of men and women engaged in the profession of instruction in the State.
 On account of conflicting engage ments beyond his control, the audi ence last night was disappointed not to hear an address from pr. W. O. Thompson, President of the Ohio State University. who was to speak on the subject, The Teacher of the Twenti- eth Century," The Association expects some day to hear from Dr. Thompson without fail.
 The teachers, in spite of the crisp, cool weather, enjoyed the free street car ride on the cars that started from Court Square yesteruay morning pe- fore the assembling of the morning session More recration was enjoyed in the afternoon between 4 and 5:30 o'clock in the theatres or picture shows of Montgomery.
 There were interesting meetings of the six subsidiary departments of the Association yesterday afternoon begin ming at o'clock. They held forth in different places and the sessions con- 4vHa Aio0atanfnnu ing the reading of papers on set sub- jects.

FINE ADDRESSES YESTERDAY

When President w. R. Harrison. of the Alabama Educational Association, arose in the midst of the morning ses- sion of that body there was thunder of applause from the packed Grand Theatre as he announced that the en- rollment had passed the 1.o00-mark. It was then II o'clock and the actual en- rollment. according to the books of Secretary W. c. Griggs, was 1,obo.
 At an early hour last night more than HOO teachers had placed their names on the rolls of the Association. 1t is now estimated that fully 1.2o0 will be the recapitulation at the end of the ses- sion today.

GIRLS WHO WORK

Girls who work for their living are especially exposed to the dangers oforganic feminine disorders. Stand ing all day, or sitting in cramped positions walking to and from their places of employment in bad weather all tend to break down their delicate feminine organism.
 No class of women are in need of greater assistance, and thou, sands of letters like the follow ing demonstrate the fact that LYDIA E. PIN NKHAM'S S VEGETABLE COMPOUND restores the feminine system to a strong, healthy, normal condition
 Miss Abby F. Barrows, of Nelson. vile, Ohio, writes to Mrs. Pinkham

 Miss Lillian Ross, of 530 E.s4th St., New York, writes to Mrs. Pinkham
 "I had female trouble, nervous headaches, and was tired all the time. and could not sleep. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me feel so much better that I hope every woman who suffers as I did will try it."
 FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
