Oppose Compulsory Education


 D. R. Murphy, superintendent of the Anniston public schools and chairman of the executive committee of the Alabama Educational association, states that the entire force of the teachers of Alabama will be brought to bear to defeat the bill which will be introduced at the com Ing session of the Legislature and cham pioned by the State Federation of Labor to secure system of compulsory educa- ton in Alabama. ,..-
 Mir Murphy states that this measure has been carefully considered by, the executive committee of the State Educa- tional association and that it will be given a prominent place in the discus sions of that body at their annual meet ing next year. At this time and under present school conditions in Alabama. he says, 1t would be impossible of enforce ment as there Is probably not city nor a county in the state that has money or facilities sufficient for the accommo- dation of all children of school age.
 The primary need of the schools of the state at this time. in the opinion of the leading educators and thinkers In all lines of endeavor, MT. Murphy says. Is more money; and he says that the state asso- citation is going to fight for this at the coming session of the legislature, the i'm mediate object sought being the privilege of local taxation.
 Tn the event they are SuCceSSlul III their fight for more revenue. MT. Mur- phy continued, they will ask that the county superintendents of education be clothed with greater authority. At pres ent, he says, they are no more than dis bursting officers, receiving the school funds from the state and apportioning the money among the several public school teachers being virtually their sole duty.
 Provided that the several counties of the state are given more money through local taxation so as to provide increased facilities and then the county superin- tendents given authority to enforce the school laws, then compulsory education, 1t is argued, will be eminenly desirable, and the leading teachers of the state will lend their influence to any measure which has that as its end. But before public education can be effective in Alabama it Is claimed, there must first be an in- crease in the school funds.

Game Proved Strength

The game played by the Predestlnar- fans, Chic lannon's pupils of the Ala bama Presbyterian college eleven. here last Saturday afternoon, when they de- feated the Blountsville Agricultural col lege eleven by the crushing score of P to 6, proved the real strength of the local eleven, and when the season is closed 1t is believed that they will show up ahead of any other football aggregation out side of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic association in this state.
