knowledged ability in their profession. The people of Alabama know this to be true and others, who are not citizens, guished scientists and educators, and the colleges and other institutions for higher education have the loyal service of able educators. But the situation, as evil denced by the official records, is as I have stated. I am only trying to show the manifestations of a diseased condi- ton. It is wiser to know the facts and diagnose the infection before it threatens the whole system. The people of Alabama should find the cause and prescribe the remedies. One does not need the wis., dom of a statesman nor the learning of an educator to see the danger that threat ems the state.
 The student of history knows that all great and successful social and political revolutions, undertaken for the improve ment of mankind, move downward. The rights and liberties of the people under the English constitution were secured through the agency of the educated classes; The Netherlands, from whom we borrowed so much in the making of our government, threw off the Spanish yoke and established a republic through the wisdom and heroism of the educated leaders; the great religious reformation came through the work of the educated, and all that was good and permanent In the French Revolution was the crea- ton of educated leaders, and our insti- tutions. were built by men of learning and wisdom. If there be no vigor and growth in the institutions for higher edu- cation, there can be no vrility or prog ress in the education of the masses. He who lifts his hand against the higher in- stitutions of education may strike unwit- tingly but the blow is none the less dangerous to society and state.

With practically the same population, Minnesota has nearly eight times as many students in its university as are registered at the Alabama university; but in this comparison of university students. we should eliminate the negro population in Alabama. On this basis, estimating the proportionate registration at the Uni versty of Minnesota as 275o, 1t gives that university nearly five times as many students as the University of Alabama. As shown in former article, the total population of Nebraska is less than the total white population of Alabama, yet Alabama has hardly one-fifth the num- Der of students as are at the University of Nebraska. The University of Alabama was chartered 20 years before there was a school house in Minnesota and its col legiate work began 30 years before Min nesota or Nebraska had a university or college. The vandalism of the war is a pathetic and familiar story In the life of the Alabama university but the erection of new buildings was begun and collegiate work resumed the same year that Minne- sota and Nebraska began collegiate work. Moreover, Congress made second grant of lands which more than compensated for the losses of the war.
 As shown by the foregoing statistics, the bureau of education reports an aggre- gate of 1946 students in all the universi- ties, colleges and technological schools of Alabama This estimate includes the Uni versity, Alabama Polytechnic and four colleges. The statesman'l yearbook is d standard statistical reference book in this country and Great Britain and it gives practically the same educational reports Nor can any better report be found in the New International Encyclopaedia or any other late publications which are sup posed to give accurate statistics. If Ala bama can make better showing 1t ought to be published to the world, for business reasons, if nothing higher. However, in order to make the most liberal showing, we should include the Alabama Girls In dustrial school and the district agricul- tural schools With these schools added, the summary would be as follows

Sheffield, August 24.-(sp ecial.) .)-E. H. Craig, commercial agent for the Southern railway, has been compli- mented by higher officials of the road upon the fact that Sheffield was eighth in point of revenue producing of all the cities on the Southern line for the month of July. Sheffield also stood first in percentage of increase of rev. enue. This is a remarkable record when 1t Is considered that Memphis, At lanta, Chattanooga, Mobile, Savannah, and Birmingham are some of the larger cities on the line

Good Report on Rural Route,

Huntsville, August 24.-(Special.)- A report compiled by the postal de- partment and forwarded to Congress- man Richardson shows that rural mail carriers in the Eighth district are now drawing s96,S59 per year. This indi- cates that there are about 125 routes in the seven counties of the district. Judge Richardson canvassed the district few years ago urging the people to apply for rural routes and the report shows how well they have taken his advice.

the reason of these generous offers, he was told that when it was learned that no site for the schoolhouse could be se- cured, and that the negroes were to have no school in that district at least one third of the best negro tenants and la borers there moved into other districts where they could have the advantage of a school.''
 This is pretty plain language from a southern man who is regarded as one of the leading educators of this country. And it could just as well have been written about the situation in Alabama.
 The bureau of education furnishes this statement about negro education in Ala bama, outside the public schools: Stu dents in secondary and higher schools for the colored races (not including public high schools) 44s4; pupils receiving in- dustrial training, 31e7; schools, H."

VIII Test Road Law

Prattville. August 24.-(SpeciaL)-A large number of citizens in the north ern part of this county have determined to test the constitutionality of the road law as now in operation here. The men subject to road taxes are required to either work 10 days in a year or pay $1 for their exemption from road duty. While the law has been in operation for about two years in this county it appears to have always been a thorn in the flesh" to these citi- zens and they have recently refused to obey the summons of the overseer of roads and suffered themselves arrested and will be tried before justices of the peace. They will then appeal to the circuit court and if they are there fined, as is likely, will >appeal their cases to the supreme court.

Chief Engineer Buck and Land Agent
Hutchinson Spend the Morning
Over the Right of Way Be-
tween Greeley and the
Town OF Evans

Perfecting plans which as yet they
refused to divulge. E. A. Buck, chief
engineer for the Denver, Laramie &
Northwestern oad, and ]. Hutchin-
son, chief land agent, were in Gree
ley today and made tour Of inspec-
tion this morning over the right of
way of the new line between Evans
and Greeley.
It Is thought to be probable that
extensive changes are to be made by
the new road. The officials we're
armed with their blue prints Tuesday
morning and they made a careful in
spection of the entire route calculat-
ing on the Union Pacific right of way.
1t is believed that the decision Of
Judge Lewis in the case now pend
ing in the United States court will
have much to do with the changing
Of the right of way Of the new road.
In the event that the court holds
that the Denver. Laramie L North
western has no right on the claimed
400-foot right of way, then the Dem
ver-Laramie people will buy up a
new right Of way and enter Greeley
by another route, or else alter the
present right of way where it con-
flicts with the Union Pacific. and
come into Greeley by practically the
same route. This will necessitate
"a new franchise.

SALMA6UNDI
CLUB HEARS
ENOS MILLS

In a wonderfully interesting man
ner, Enos Mills talked to the mem-
bers of the Salmagundi club Monday
evening on the proposed plan of con-
verting Estes Park into a national
park.
Mr.. Mills gave full information of
the project and answered questions
which were brought up by the MEM
bers.
He told of the many delightful
out-of-the-wa places near the park
which are not generally seen because
of the lack OF roads.
Mr.. Mills then told in a charming
manner the bear story and the story
of the Thousand Year Pine. which
are found in his book. The pine was
one which was cut down against Mr..
Mills wishes and which, on examina-
tion, he found to be Loaf years old.
The meeting was held at the home
OF Miss Carena Lee. A committee
was appointed from the Salmagundi
club to represent the club before the
Commercial club in regard to the ma
tional park proposition.

TIME EXTENDED TO THE

Completes Work for Henrylyn Com
pany mt Chicago and Goes on to
Capital City, Where Import
ant Steps Remain to
BE Taken

After having completed work con-
nected with the disposal of irrigation
bonds for the Henrylyn company in
Chicago, Attorney Charles Tew has
now gone on to Washington. where
he will appear before the United
States authorities in an effort to
have the dry farmers time for i'm
provements prolonged.
1t was while he was in Chicago
that Mr.. Tew obtained word from
the Washington authorities and left
at once TOR the capital city. He will
probably be gone some three weeks
completing the work. which will be
of immense benefit to the dry farm
9 8. as it Is said to be practically
impossible for them to make the re-
Quired improvements In the time now
allotted by law.
The matter of the disposition OF
the Henrylyn bonds and the final
business connected with the matter
was concluded in a few days, and
Mr.. Tew is now In Washington.
