long and patiently. One of the

the comet was wagging its tail

The Bessemer board of education has a slogan, No mistake about that, and that slogan Is 'Progress" Should anyone feel disposed to question this statement, 1t will only be necessary to pay a visit to the newly erected High school and ob- serve what is being done, and there wile then be no disposition for controversy.
 It was my pleasure to visit this instruc- tive and interesting school last Friday, the first that 1t had been my privilege to pay. To say that was surprised is ex- pressing it very mildly. When one re- members what has been accomplished iii that school within the past two years, including a period of serious financial de- pression co-extensive with the entire country, the story of achievement seems almost incredible.
 The present superintendent of schools evidently assumed charge of the educa- tional interests oa Bessemer at the op- perfume moment. The scholastic status was ripe for the coming of just such talented and progressive director. The recital of his accomplishments, aided by a board of education at all times re- sponsive to his efforts, sounds more like

romance than real achievement, for, in entire candor, 1t may me stated that, within the past two years, as a result of an enlarged curriculum, elevated stand ards and modern facilities, the Birming- ham High school has earned its right to front rank among the foremost schools of secondary education in the south.
 All in all 1t is extremely doubtful If more efficient high school facilities are to be found anywhere in this sunny southern realm than exist at the present time In this progressive little city. The corps of teachers Is an unusually able one, and has been selected solely with a view to efficiency Each teacher has been trained in prominent institutions of learn ing in the south and elsewhere, and all have received subsequent training in in- stitutions of national prominence. As at present constituted, the High school faculty comprises the following list of Well-known educators:
 A. A. Persons, superintendent anO in- structor of chemistery.
 R. A. Mickle, principal and instructor of mathematics and history.
 Charles R. Kuchinski, instructor of manual training, mechanical drawing pHySlcS.
 Miss Francis Bissell. instructor of Eng fish and French.
 Miss Virginia Nixon, instructor of mathematics, history and physical geog- raphy
 Miss Rosa Lawhon. instructor. of Latin and German.
 Miss Bessie Parker. instructor of do- mestic art and science.
 Miss Margaret McAdory. instructor of nature drawing.
 Miss Min0ie Cahill, instructor of public school music.
 Miss Eunice Doyle, supernumerary.
 Writing under the caption, "The Bes- semer Public Schools" in an article sev- eral months ago, I referred to the ex- celent facilities now provided for the teaching of chemistry and physics in Bes- scmef Today 1t is my privilege to chron- icle additional evidence of prosperity in the recent installation of well-equipped departments of domestic art and science. Probably these last acquisitions are the most important of all, for In typically industrial community. such as is to be found anywhere in the Birmingham dis trict. it appears to me that no scholastic training can be more essential thNn that which has in view the training d our girls for improved home life. It causADt be questioned that the art and science

quent visits to their high school. They will learn something, and if they have not already done so, will soon realize their present good fortune in the possession of superintendent so well equipped for handling, in wise and tactful manner, the various educational problems that demand solution Though accustomed to doing things, he is at the same time wise and conservative, and all his plans are carefully perfected before effort is made to enforce them.
 In concluding this letter, it may not be amiss briefly to summarize what has been accomplished In Bessemer along the line of high school development, alone, in the brief space of two years. The fol- lowing outline will suffice: The intro- duction of a two-years' course in Ger man, the school now offering two years in both French and German. Elaboration of both the English and Latin courses each now including the four full years of the high school, which at the same time conforming to modern college and university entrance requirements. The installation of departments of chemis- try and physics, each on an efficient laboratory basis; the introduction of we'll equipped departments of manual train Ing and mechanical drawing, both em- ctt- ondary school curriculum; and, lastly, the recently installed departments of domes- tic art and science mentioned above
 In all of these departments. as previ- ously stated, the facilities are probably unsurpassed in any high school in the country. Where I wonder, can a similar record of progress be shown for the same length of time? It Is believed that the achievement is unique, and Superinten- dent Persons and the board of education are to be warmly commended for the magnificent results which have been real ized. After many vexatious delays the culinary department is now receiving it's finishing touches.' and very shortly, will be in fine working order. Meantime, the writer is anxiousiy anticipating an other visit-next time, when the dining hall is in order-and. already, there are visions of chicben pies, deserts and vari- ous tempting delicacies, prepared by the skilled hands of Bessemer's lovliest young girls, but I desist! Here. then, to the Bessemer High school!

Proper methods of sewing and cooking, taught the girls in the schoolrooms of the land, are destined to accomplish wonderful results in the generations now growing into womanhood.
 Such instruction is a crying need In the south today, for 1t requires no prophet to foretell that the day Is not far distant when very large propof- tion of our women will find 1t neces- sary to include this class of work among important household duties What father, worth his salt, would not be prouder of a daughter able to add to her list of accomplishments skill in domestic economy and household eff ficiency?
