work has been broadened and beautified until it is matter of great pride to the public school system. Basketry, weav- ing, sewing, knife work, bench work and now the large forge-room in the new High school building, are doing good in places where nothing could be done be- fore. They are aiding children to find a particular bent, to whom the literary studies have proven of little value. But to all children work in the manual arts has been a revelation. It has given them both the love of beauty and a self-re- Ifance and is presented in the most pleas ant way possible. A branch of the de- partment-the drawing-was supervised last year by MT. Dimmitt's assistant, Miss Brace, a woman of broad culture and unusual charm. Drawings in char coal. pencil, pen and ink and crayons were done, and some of the results are truly remarkable, coming as they did, from the hands of such young students. The most exquisite little landscapes flowers akin to the real blossoms in their raturalness, little Dutch sketches of wind- mills and dykes in the Delft tints, and
 
 quaintest, funniest little pictures on ex- hibition at the state fair this fall will undoubtedly be sketches of little folks in various positions, sitting, standing, walking, stooping-but almost without ex- eeption the face discreetly turned away Land these are the productions, not only of older pupils, but even the little peo- ple in the primary classes Just think of a life class composed of little tots of or 8 years, all trying very hard by the use of a few crayons, to produce a pie ture that will look just like a little girl with short frock and bobbed hair, stand ing patiently on a chair somewhere in front She knows she must be very still, even though she gets tired, as she, her self, was student the day before, and when the model wiggled or turned her head it was quite trial.
 The higher classes do this same work, that coming from the pupils in the sixth and seventh grades being in some cases remarkable.
 Many other problems in art are worked out in the brief drawing periods given the children. Birds, butterflies, buds, flowers, leaves and decorations for book covers, book-marks, marginal decorations, calendars, landscapes, seascapes, and in numerable others suggested by the sea sons. or refecting the originality of teach CT and pupil.
 It is impossible to tell how much good this work will do. The class of draw ing being attempted now is really. in its tncipiency.

discusses the life and people there. When asked about the native tribes, in one of her chatty moments, recently, she said:
 "Of course. the Hottentots are very low They seem just impossible. Tie Zulus and the Basutos are among the best tribes The Basutos, for instance are a very moral people. Immortality in man or woman is punishable by certain death. They are strong, too; the little children who are maimed or deformed are not allowed to live. They really try to live properly as they understand it. but. dear me! just let the missionaries come. Immediately the whole tribe be- comes demoralized. They drink terribly and commit dreadful depredationc. Re- ligon does not seem to be for them They cannot understand"

Culpeper Exum's lovely guests. Miss Eva Conner was the hostess at a garden party early in the week. MT. and Mrs. Rufus N. Rhodes had arranged for an informal evening with few of their friends to meet the guests of Mir. and Mrs. Exum, but invitations had to be recalled because of Mir Rhodes illness. Mrs. J. Rivers Carter entertained party of friends at a bridge luncheon, and there were in- numerable other small functions where there were only a limited number of guests to play cards the porch or lawn.
 A pretty finale to the functions of the week. was the open air festival of Shake- spearean drama at the CouFtry club. The three plays, "As You Like It. Twelfth Night" and "Comedy of. Errors" were largely attended by club members and their friends. Many gay parties motored out to the club, the smart summer gowns of the lady guests giving the club lawn the appearance of college campus on a gala occasion.
 Dinner at yesterday afternoon was a feature that brought together many little parties of four or more, some of whom were prepared to attend both the matinee and evening performance, making of the dinner party an attractive intermission.
 The boxes. just spaces separated from the other seats with ropes, were occupied by a coterie always interested in club affairs, and especially in so charming an innovation as the Shakespearean plays have proven. Among those seen in the boxes were MT. and Mrs. Walker Percy. MT. and Mrs. Eugene Brown, MT. and Mrs. Culpeper Exum, Miss Ellen Sim pie, Miss Fillmore, Miss Emily Senple. Miss Bardin MT. ErslSine Ramsay MT, John L. Raul, MT. George Gordon Craw- ford, MT. and Mrs. Jack Johnson, Miss Daisy Moody. Mrs. Darlington Semple, MT. Waits, Miss Belle DeBardeleben, Miss Ellen Percy, MT. and Mrs. J. D. Kirk patrick and others.

Miss Virginia Bundren who recently returned from New York. gives a very interesting story of her work at Colum- bia, where she spent the past year in study. She is quite a talented artist and it was while at work in the studio of Miss Edna Smith in this city that she received the inspiration to develop her talent along the particular line of work that she has chosen.
 She studied in the fine arts department at Teachers college, perfeeting herself fin the supervision of manual training under the able direction of MT. Arthur Dow. Miss Bundren's work is of espe- oial interest in Birmingham since the in troduetion of the department of manual arts in our public schools. No feature of the school work here is deserving of more praise than that department. Since the coming of MT. R. L. Dimmitt a few years ago to assume charge as supervisor. the

Cahalan. herself an artist. and the keen est advocate of the power of art in de- velopiug the best in child nature.
 The public schools here have done such excellent work in drawing it is attract ing attention in other places. Miss Lula Bradford. the supervisor of primary work in this city. has just returned from OK ford, Miss, where she delivered course of lectures at the summer institute now in session there. She took with her quite collection of the drawing work of the children but brought back not a single example, as the assembled teachers were so enthusiastic over them that they were all given away as souvenirs.
 Miss Bundren, in speaking Of the re- suits she expects to accomplish with her pupils, said; Tt is not the ann of the drawing teacher in the public school to make artists. That may
