EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS
Parallels Arc to Be Drawn Between
 German and English

Berlin. April al)-Professor Rogozinski of Culm, a German educa- tional expert, who was formerly lecturer at the University of Liverpool is about to publish a long treatise dealing with the difference between the British and German educational systems. He informs me that his conclusions, based on an in-. timate knowledge, may be summarized as follows:
 English schools and educational methods are in every respect inferior to German schools and educational methods.
 The organization of English schools is lacking in uniformity.
 English teachers, to whom is intrusted the education of the young, are want ing in thorough scientific pedagogic train Ing.
 The consequence of these defects is that English children cannot be educated with the necessary thoroughness.
 Premature specialization and the exag- gerated system of value attached to er- animation, as we'll as the one-sided de- votion to sport, tend to ai tinish the value of the English educational sys- tenn.
 Professor Rogozinski declares that young English men and women, when finishing their education in schools have not received the education and training necessary to citizens of civilized na- ton. He also declares that the existence of different classes is repuFive to Ger man feeling.

 Friends Are Rejoicing

Words cannot express our heartfelt thanks to the James Treatment for the blessing it has bestowed upon every member of our family by curing this man of that awful drink habit" He has not touched or tasted a drop of any intoxicants since he came home, even though he has had 1t offered to him time and again.
 He seems to have no wish or desire for whisky at any time, and his family and many devoted friends are today re- 1oicing with him because he has been cured of that terrible habit, and when he goes out now we know he will re- turn to his family not loaded with "booze," but perfectly sober in every sense of the word. He is now in fine health, both physically and mentally, and we can never speak too highly of the James Treatment. for we know it can do for others what it has done for him, and we all can say: God bless the James Treatment, which brought happiness to our home."

A bill taxing American tourists on their motor cars is now before the sen ate, having already passed the cham Der of deputies Thanks to it's beau tiful roads, France is the paradise of tourists and thanks to the tourists (notably American tourists) the pro- vinces have reaped golden harvests Now, why should our lawmakers set 10 work to kill the goose that lays the golden egg? I am glad to say that the Touring club of France has taken up the matter and there is some hope of this new bill being withdrawn. The Touring club of France is very pow erful. It has done much for French roads, French trade, and all kinds of French out -ofdoor life. It numbers 100000 members and among its life members figure such names as those of Pierpont Morgan, Princess de Sa gan. Courtland Bishop, Gen. Horace Porter, and many other prominent Americans. They find this club inds- rensable in touring throughout tue various foreign countries.

While the matchmakers are busily en- gagged in finding a wife for the young
 King Manuel of Portugal King Edward is becomingly shocked at the following tale which some how or other has come to his ears.
 When King Manuel passed through Paris recently he made the acquaintance of
 Mile. Gaby Dosys, one of our famous stage beauties. His majesty invited her
 to visit Lisbon, and hinted he would be pleased to receive her at his palace. The young lady was in ecstasies. But Don
 Manuel is young and forgetful. He for got to inform the guards. The visitor was refused admittance, and when she insisted they carried her off to the po- lice station.
 King Edward was supposed to be scan dalized at this adventure. But he only
 winked the other eye and smiled. Then
 he hurried off to see Queen Amelie, who
 holds all the winning cards, for kings are scarce in the matrimonial market.
 while princesses are many. and to be
 had for the asking. Leaving aside the several pretenders and Prince Alexander
 of Serva, there only remains Manuel and the Prussian princes to choose from. Of course, there are the Italian princes,
 Count de Turin and the Duke dAbruzzi. But King Manuel Is unquestionably the
 biggest catch of them all. Ten princesses have been angling to become queens of Portugal Hence the embarrassment of Queen Amelie. She simply does not know whom to choose. Among these ladies are the Duchesse Marie Antoinette of Mech linburg Schwern, cousin of the fair Ce- celia, who captured the German crown prince. Even the German emperor's daughter Princess Victoria Louise of
 Prussia Is among the asprants. Were | IL. I-.x. prettiest princess, then he would have to choose either the beautiful Princess Patricia of Connaught or the exquisite
 Princess Elizabeth of Roumania. Prob
 ably Patricia will carry off the kingly
 prize
 The young Duchesse de Rohan will be the next president of the Society or French Poets. There Is an almost unani-
 nous call for her, and she will doubt less respond. She will succeed Edmond Paramount The duchesse not only writes beautiful verse herself, but holds most delightful literary salon in her spacious home during the months of the winter season. l hear three American poets have voted for the nomination of the | Duchesse de Rohan to this post of liter | ary honor will be great triumph TOT | feminism in France
 | One of the interesting features Of our ,nnroaching election is that twenty
 women will run for the twenty districts of Paris. Whether they will be elected | or not remains to be seen. Pronaply not. Their efforts. however, are a step | in the right direction.
 The leader of these female candidates | Is physician, Dr. Madeleine Durand, who founded the newspaper La Fronde,
 which is entirely edited by women. l
 am entirely in favor of these women candidates, and I am sure they will con duct themselves with more dignity than

LAURENS PAINTS
 4 GREAT PICTURE Of Rattle Which Gave America
 Her Independence COMES TO BALTIMORE The Sensational Marriage of the Year Will Be That of Frank Wiener and Madame Bisbofsheim.
 Widow Is Charming
COMES TO BALTIMORE

Paris, April 9.-(Special. )-Jean Paul Laurens, one of our very best painters, has just finished a picture of the bat He which gave America her independ- ence. The surrender of Yorktown is ! chapter of history dear to French men and Americans alike. And this IS the subject of Laurens' great paint ing.
 General Wash ington is, of course, the central figure. On the right is our own Marquis de Lafayette and on the left Rochambeau. All three are on horse- back. General O'Meara on foot sur renders his sword to Washington. The red coated English soldiers guarded by .he victorious Americans, form note worthy part of the picture. To the extreme right stand the brave French men commended by Lafayette and Rochambeau. In the Palace of Yer sailles there is a famous water color of this scene. It was painted by Van Blarenberghe, and American visitors love to finger near 1t. It is said Jean Paul Laurens made a careful study Of all the details of this picture before painting his own.
 The "Surrender of Yorktown" will be exhibited this year in the salon Of the French artists. The city of Balti more has bought the picture.
 The senational marriage of the year will be that of Frank Wiener, known in literature as Francois de Croisset, and Madame Bishofsheim. the beauti ful and wealthy widow of the late banker of that name. Madame Bish- ofshem is undoubtedly the greatest catch in the French matrimonial mar ket. In addition to youth and beau tly sho has a dowry of $10,000,G00. AS the daughter of the Count and Countess de Chavinge she has a high social po sition. Furthermore. thie charming bride is very talented. When quite q young girl she was elected Queen of the Felibres or literary lights of Ol" Provence. These good folk have lan euage and literature of their own, the chief exponent of which is the now aged poet Mistral.
 Madame Bishofsheim is very popular in Provence, where she Is called Queen of the Felibres." M. Francois de Croisset is very lucky young fel- low, indeed, to win so fair and clever bride. It Is said the charming widow was first attracted to him by his enor- nous 1880 turned-over collar. Then his curly locks got in their seductive work and the rest followed in due course Croisset Is 43 but looks much young CT. Though born near Brussels, he IS d naturalizei French nan and his fame as playwright and poet extends throughout France.

News of Cnlera

Calera, March 19.-(Special )-The Shell by County Sun publishes a notice of a mortgage sale to occur on April 16 in front of. the postoffice at this place, at which time the property owned by the Calera Townsite company will be sold at public outcry. E. Lesser of Birmingham is named as the assignee. There is said to have been about 300 lots previously sold that this sale will not affect. This property was originally purchased from J. w. Dimmick of Montgomery and se- cured by mortgage The citizens of this place hope that the purchaser of this real estate will be in a position to pro mote the growth and development of the town.
 On April "A there will be held at New Salem church, opposite the cemetery, the annual memorial service. as the date of opening of the reunion of the United Confederate Veterans conflicts with its usual observance on the day, the latter occurring on the 26th to the 18th.
 An effort will be made through the school children to secure some money to defray the expenses of several old sol diers, members of the local camp of the United Confederate Veterans, to go to the reunion at Mobile.

 In introducing MT. O'Neal Senator Rob- ert E. Spragins expressed his views for the first time during the campaign. He said the amendment is dead, but the principle of the thing lives in MT.

 T feel 1t my duty to support MT. ONeal," he said, "and ask my friends and neighbors to give him liberal ma- jority on May g."
 MT. o'Neal said the people of Alabama will on May ratify their victory of November % "They demand that radi- calism be destroyed" he said.

struck chauffeurs racing and forgetting the rules of the road
 Just how greatly interested the general public is in automobiles was shown by the attendance at the recent Chicago au- tomobile show, the total number of vis- itors during the week coming to 330,OO0 That so many people should get together in a single city to view the newest crea- tions of the motor car designer and en- glpeer is proof positive of the expanding circumference of the automobile world nowadays
 The recently organized Professional Chauffeurs' club of Birmingham is en- deavorlng to have enacted laws by which all drivers of automobiles must be licensed after standing an examination as to their ability to operate a car. The idea Is splendid one, but care should be taken not to make the laws too stringent.
 None but white chaufeurs are eligible to membership In the club, one of the objects of the organization being to eliminate the negro as a chauffeur as much as possible. Personally, the writer can't see why an autoist should want a negro of the young CT generation to drive his car Unless the negro be an exception to the rule, the ma chine will go to rack and ruin under his care, while the 'tin digs" which the av- craze negro cuts up when no white people arc in the car are apt to result in se-

Butler Talks Of Interest
 Tn Coming Glidden Tour

when the Pieree-Arrow and the Chalmers won the trophies. I believe that the cars which could win those trophies in com petition with the standard makes of the country and over a route approximating 2500 miles of the hardest roads in the country are proved reliable beyond doubt. Think also of the other cars which negotiated that tour with compar- atively perfect scores. Could anything do more to prove the stamina of those cars?
 Automobile manufacturers realize these advantages; hence they give the Glidden tour this unqualified support. A contest like the Gldden tour means more to the public than any other sort of automobile contest because it comes nearer than any other to the conditions under which the average owner uses his car day after day. The buyer wants to be sure of reliability above everything else.
 But there is one other great advan- tage from the entrants point of view.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-03-20

rious accident and demolishing of the au- tomobile.
 Contrary to this, the white chauffeur should be exceedingly careful of his ma chine, remembering that his pay is from two to three times what is paid a negro. and make up this additional cost by the economical operation of the car. He shouldn't expect the machine to be kept In garage if the owner has a place for 1t on his home premises.
 There was an instance only a week or two ago where man dispensed with his white chauffeur and placed a negro on the machine. Another man secured the deposed white chauffeur an even better job with another man. but the chauffeur cult after a few days because the owner kept the machine on his place instead of a garage.
 The club should take cognzance of such drivers as these. On the face it appeared as
 it this chauffeur might be afraid that he
 would not get the opportunity to take the car out of the garage for joy ride and for this reason gave up good job. If Birmingham autoist should ever
 take his machine to Germany he had better be careful about speeding. Ac- counts from across the way tell how the German authorities have struck upon the
 scheme of photographing tracks of auto- mobile tires and by a system similar to
 the Bertfllion system of measuring crim- inals, discover the guilty motorist. It is believed that this tale would have gone better with a grain of salt and dash of absinthe, for we are still of the opinion | that we're from Missouri regarding the | catching of speed devils by this method.

Interest in the Glidden tour Is very strong at present and the following in- terview with S. NJ Butler of the Amer iean Automobile association, who IS chairman of the contest board of this event, tells much about it;
 Shortly after my election as chairman of the contest board I was asked if the American association would ever hold another reliability run, or, as 1t is more generally known, Glidden tour," said MT. Butler. q replied that the annual re- liability run of the A. A. A. has become an institution of motoring, a contest or such importance that the manufacturers will not even consider it's abolition.
 'The Glidden tour, more than any other endurance contest held in the United States brings the principal makes of before the owners and pros pective owners of the country iE direct review. It places the standard makes of cars in a competition of reliability which shows the whole country just what these cars are capable of doing. The tour has always been one of national scope, as far as the entries are concerned, and it's magnitude has made the findings of the committee in charge of every ap- preciable value to the motor-buying public.
 .",rhat the manufacturers of the coun- try realize how much automobile buyers are influenced by the results of the Glid- den tour is proved by the support which they give the contest. They realize that the car which wins in it's class in the Gldden tour has a firmly established for reliability which could be acquired in no other way. Take the re- suits of last years event. for instance,
