GOOD TEACHERS
ARE IN DEMAND

University, July -(Special.)-'Th
demand for strong, capable men in the
public schools of Alabama is far greater
than the supply There are vacancies in
the high schools in positions that pay
attractive salaries and offer an inviting
field of opportunity" This what Dr.
e. B. Dresslar, dean of the school of
education of the University of Alabama,
says each morning when his mail brings
requests for teachers
In connection with the work of the
school of education, the university has
been active in securing competent teach
ers for the schools throughout the state,
especially for the new county high
schools This service seems to have an
Invaluable aid to many schools, and is
being continued. But the supply runs
shorter than the demand.
1t was owing to this increasing demand
for professionally trained teachers that
the university established last year the
schools of education as department of
professional instruction. A large class
was graduated and the enrolment in the
lower classes is larger than could have
been expected. DIR. Dresslar thinks that
the field of education offers more imme-
date rewards and greater opportunity
for service than the more crowded pro-

Damages Heavy

The reports to the commissioner Of ag-
riculture are discouraging as regards the
cotton crop. Grass is getting start as
a result of the recent rains, and the
plant is being stunted anew with the
continued over supply of moisture. Black
root is making its way in the south
Alabama sections and the lower leaves
are falling off in this part of the state.
The outlook is that the crop is going to
be very short in the state. In fact, 1t
is stated, there is hardly any show now
for the stalk to recover from the bad
influences it has had to meet and bring
in anything like an average crop. Corn
Is not hurt, the rains doing 1t good In
the condition 1t Is In.

GOOD SHOWING MADE
IN RIVER TRAFFIC.
Annual Report on the Alabama
River Work for Year
COTTON MILLS ARE IDLE
Montgomery Man Says Conditions Make
Mill Business Unprofitable-Bad
Weather Has Done Untold
Damage to Cotton

Montgomery, July 1s.-(SpeciaD.-In the
annual report of Captain H. B. Fergu-
son on the Alabama river work 1t is
shown that for the year ending June 30,
Sc, 900 tons of freight were handled on the
stream. 1t is made UP of all kinds of
goods, with 44,245 bales of cotton and no.
400 sacks of cotton seed. The value of
freight handled was given at $6,04S,140.
The showing thus made of the river
traffic is a good one, though it Is small.
Much of the year there were no boats
at all above Selma, and 1t is we'll that SO
much was moved, as it gives a basis to
work on for future appropriations. With
the establishment of new boat line which
the Montgomery merchants have agreed to
put on before the first of october there Is
renewed interest in the river and 1t Is
hoped that the business can be built up.

Cotton Mills Idle

With the cotton mills of the state on
half time there is bad condition of af-
fairs in manufacturing lines, and the
people who have to depend on the mills
for living are suffering as they do not,
as a rule, make more than 1t takes to
keep them going. The Montgomery mills
for making yarn are on half time and
the cordage plant shut down entirely.
w. B. Tannef of the Montgomery mills
says the trouble is that a bale Of cot
ton can not be bought and manufactured
and the cost of 1t gotten out. With the
fluctuations that speculation brings
about, 1t is impossible to figure anything
out of the handling of it. He issnot sure
the legislation pending to prevent specu-
lation will help, as it is not possible, he
thinks, to do without the New York
market exchange, but 1t is necessary
that some sort of plan be adopted to pre-
vent the ever-changing ranges.
