HELP FOR TEACHERS
SUGGESTIONS FOR RURAL EDUCA- TORS ARE OFFERED.
Department of Educatfon of the State Distributes Pamphlets of Daily
 Programs and Exercises
 for School Children. #H

The Department of Education yester. day announced to be ready what is be- iieved to be an excellent aid to rural school teachers of Asebama It is a pamphlet containing suggestive daily programs for recitations and study
 in the class rooms. The pamphl let's will be shipped immediately to the County Superintepdents of Education for distrib ution among the teachers of the schools of the various counties.
 The am of the suggested programs .s to promote system in the habits of study by the pupils and have de- gree of uniformity in the several grades of the rural and village schools of the State.
 State Superintendent of Education Harry c. Gunnels has announced that copies of the pamphlet will be in an accessible place during the annual meeting of the Alabama Educational Association next week in Montgomery. All teachers desiring copies can get them then. The purpose of the programs Is more clearly set forth in the following ad- dress of the State Superintendent of Education:
 "To the Teachers of Alabama:
 These daily programs for use in the rural schools are offered as merely sug- gestive. Because of local conditions d make changes. The difficulties attend ing the grading of rural schools are many. It s comparatively easy, how ever. to systematize the work through out the State in the manner indicated
 by these daily programs. Thus foun- dalton will be laid for a more effec- tual grading of the work in the future.
 The, first program presented Is now in use in the rural schools of Mobile Cohhty. The basis for the second pro- gram was obtained from a paper pre- sented by G. W. Brock at the annual meeting of the Alabama Educational Association in 1906. The third pro-
 gram: made for schools of two teach CTS, was prepared after consolidation with many rural and village teachers throughout the State
 Tt will be observed that system
 atic outline is given for study as well as for recitations. Teachers will ind l it an a.d to discipline. while promoting habits of study, to let the children
 know what they should be studying at
 given time.
 Let me urge the careful criticism of these programs. whether favorable ar unfayorable. with a view to the
 adoption by the teachers of the State of single program meeting the needs of the greatest number of rural schools | having one teacher and program
 suitable for schools having two teach CTS.
 "Credit for the excellence of these | suggestive programs should be given to MT. H. J. willingham and Miss Sara Clark of the State Board of Examin. CTS. Harry c. Gunnels, "supt. of Education"

PLEA FOR OKLAHOMA
REV. w. F. McMURHAY WANTS TO
 EXTEND METHODIsM.
Agrees to Give s9o0 for Every sfoo {. Subscribed and West Fad People
 ;. Accept His Proffer
 Quickly.

Birmingham. April s.-(spectai.)-- West End and Rev. W. F. McMurray, of Louisville, secretary of the church extension board. together guaranteed the building of a church in Oklahoma at the Thursday morning session of the Methodist District Conference.
 pr. McMurray said in his address than for every hundred dollars raised he would build a thousand dollar church.
 The West End congregation prompt iy raised the hundred dollars.
 Fifteen dollars was subscribed by the Twenty First Avenue Church to- wards another building.
 pr. McMurray announced that, there had been a net gain of 50,0o0 persons in the Southern Methodist Church during 1907.
 After dwelling upon the opportuni- land and the Pacific coast. he turned his attention to Oklahoma. Thirty per cent of the people in Oklahoma belong to us" he said. "We lead in a1msot every place. Ard yet there are 400 congregations out of doors with no place to worship.
 The State is promising. It voted for prohibition and Democracy on the same ballot. That was helpful to us. as church. Oh, that hungry needy field. I have been trying night houses and we have built good many.
 "I would like to see the Southern Conference relinduish their claims for the present and put the money into Oklahoma. The church extension board there siIas itself increased their as sessnnent. Tulsa has s40.0oo church It -ia thes result of an investment of sl ,250 seven years ago. There fs an other church under roof costing ei2,. 900. Tn okIahona City they have one worth s6o.00o. and there are others ir the State. It's not putting in money only. It's getting it out. It's a good investment.
 The church extension board hal applications without number on file These people cannot build the churctei themselves because 1t is a ptoneel country and they need the money fol the development of farms and bust | meas.
 '"I wish that the Birmingham dis | trict would build one church in okla | homa. Give me s100 and I'll build 1 church costing s1,0Oo. Give me $500 and I'll build one costing .s50,o00. Civ I me one-tenth of the cost and I'll bull
