most important part of the Alabama Educational associations deliberations yesterday was the meeting of the Ala bama School Improvement association, with Mrs. H. c. Gunnells, president, pre- siding.
 The welcome address was delivered by Mrs. J. B. Ard of Birmingham.
 "ln Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona, she said, occur these lines. I hold this always: That man is never undone till he be hanged; and never well come to place until some certain shot be paid. and the hostess say, "Wel- come!' So shall pay this certain shot on behalf of your hostess, the city of Birmingham, who sits as queen upon her dias of black diamonds, in her hands the plenty of peace and prosperity. on her brow the tiara of a year since last you were here--a year of endeavor well begun; a year of work well done.
 Since 'Brevity is the soul of wit and tediousness the limbs and outward four ishes, shall only say. Stay-as long as you may. stay-that charming word in a friends voca bulary.
 And once again:
 Come in the evening or come in the
 morning;
 Come when you're looked for or come
 without warning Thousands of welcomes you'll find here
 before you,
 And the oftener you come here the more
 we'll adore you
 The response was charmingly made by Mrs. Charles Henderson of Troy.
 Reports of the work followed. These reports showed development along all lines and steady growth.
 Mrs. E. D. Thames of Greenville. chair man of the federation committee, gave an Illuminating address on the work of her committee. This report elicited favor able and interested discussion.

 The first day of the Alabama Educa Nineteen hundred delegates were en- rolled last night as compared to 1885, the total enrolment for 1909.
 The teacher was called upon to take his place at the head of all profes- sions, where he belongs, and to meas ure up to his highest standard. Last night two of the greatest educational leaders of the south, J. T.. Joyner of Raleigh, N. C., president of the National Educational association, and J. N. Pow CTS, superintendent of education Of Mississippi gave the teachers just that inspiration and encouragement for which they came to Birmingham.
 MT. Joyner instilled into his hear CTS respect for the fundamental laws of teaching and with beautiful illus tration and rare wit illustrated just how the child should be nurtured and allowed to grow.
 Superintendent Powers presented a phase of education now most import : ant to Alabama, 'Industrial Educa- tion." With figures he proved that the south Is losing thousands of dollars by its system of training doctors and lawyers and preachers and universal geniuses, while it fails to train the hand to skillful pursuits.
 President Baker called the associa- tion to order at S:15 and introduced Harry c. Gunnels, Alabama's superin- tendent of education. rs-l-.se~ Jv i,,a+ faxx fc I, oid T q am going to introduce to you one of the greatest opponents of the south I would like to tell this gentleman something of what we have done in Alabama the wonderful appropriations made by the last legislature, but 1t Is all well known.
 This is the last time that I shall ever speak to the teachers as superin- tendent of education of Alabama.
 There are three things which can not be obtained except through the teach CTS of Alabama. There must be provisions in our laws for local tax ation. compulsory education and to pay our county superintendents sufficient to require them to supervise properly their rural sch ools. .,f He congratulated the women of the state upon their great work in beau tifying the schools of the state and then introduced President J. Y. Joy ner.
 Dr. Joyner Speaks pr. Joyner brought greetings and God speed from the National Educa- tional association, hearty congratula- tions from South Carolina upon the part Alabama is playing in the emancipation of her people.
 Dr. Joyner addressed his remarks to the trials, demands and rewards of his fellow teachers. He urged them never to forget the fundamental truths about the work of education which arc fixed by ages of practical use.
 Equality of opportunity is an im- possibility without the public school maintained by and open to all tho peo- pie. To establish such schools should be the chief concern of all the citizens of your state.
 We teacher hold the stragetic point in civilization. history and society. Greater than all else in the world conn., bined is the mind and heart of one single southern child. for of such is the kingdom of heaven"
