S17,O00,000. The most of the increase

of postal facilities. The constant study

No More Warfare.


Smaller Matthews, writing to The
World To-Day on "The Church and
Scholarship" predicts that the day
Of warfare between science and
theology, if not past, is fast passing.
The scientific method has introduced
a new era in the religious thinking of
to-day. This, he says, is indicated by
the fact that the churches no longer
fear "the higher criticism. The church
is utilizing the results of other than
theological sciences. Church workers
are coming to feel that the entire
range of scientific investigation may
furnish material for religious activity.
Thus, in the region of biology the old
suspicion Of the theories of evolution
is rapidly passing. The ordinary posi-
ton of the intelligent churchman is
that it makes little difference just how
humanity came into existence, whether
in an evolutionary fashion or by crea.
ton. In either case it was due to the
operation of God. Similarly, in the
psychology of religion, it is only re-
Gently that our psychologists have

What has been said of the dea cieneies in the Girls High School building applies with equal, indeed. with greater force to the Boys High school. In order that provision may be made for growth and greater efi- ciency In the high school department Of the school system. there is urgent need for the erection without delay of the contemplated new high school building
 While there are sufficient accommo- dations for the present and in fact for growth, in the new elementary school buildings, located in the more remote school districts the central district Is crowded. In the central districts. with pills, frequent transfers from one dis trfct to another have to be made. and sometimes, as has occurred this session. whole classes have to be transferred from one district to another. Attempt has been made at various times to meet this situation by using a number of school rooms for relays of teachers
 
 morning and others in the afternoon. There are at present fourteen teachers so employed. Hundreds of children in this way are put on short time. Com ment on the loss to the pupils is un- necessary When the new high school Is erected, the old building will be made the grammar school and the con- gested condition In the central districts will be relieved.

 Board of Education"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-02-28

The Board of Education of Montgom- cry is urging tbs City Council to issue tho school bonds authorized at a To- cent election and to relieve the great congestion in the schools of MontgoEl- cry and to provide for the establish- men. of manual training in the city's high schools.
 A statement from the Board sent tc the City Council some days ago DOT trays an unfortunate. situation in the city's schools. The city, has grown faster than the schools. and in many instances the scholars have to go in relays. One class will recite in the morning. and after having finished will go home at moons while its place is taken by a fresh class in the after noon.
 The most telling argument in the Boards communication to the Council Is that which sustains its appeal for the Central High School building and the manual training which will be put in.
 The communication which was sent to the City Council on February 10 Is as follows:
 ITO the Honorable City Council. Mont
 gomery, Ala:
 "Gentlemen-Conditio existing in the schools and plans under consider ation for improvement and extension demand that the school bonds author ized at the recent election be issued at as early a date as possible. Pursuant to a resolution adopted at the regular monthly meeting. held February 8. the Board of Education desires to hsing these matters to the attention of the City Council.
 Notwithstanding the additions made to the Girls High School building with fin the past two years. all class-rooms are occupied. As the building now stands there are no biological, chemi- cal or phyS cal laboratories for the sci ence classes; no study hall: no library room; no room for the. drawing classes; no assembly hall for public lectures. no gymnasium and no rooms for conduct ing classes In the various branches of industrial art. Provision for all these is made in the modern high school building. and they are essential to the accomplishment of the best results.
 For years the Board of Education has had in view the introduction of the teaching of the manual arts, but has
