In Prohibition States

My concert tour through the south has been successful and gratifying in every way, and I will look forward with pleasure to coming this way again. said Victor Herbert, the famous composer conductor, who has directed a grand fes- tival here this week. With very few exceptions my audiences have been very large. and in every case my orchestra and my vocal artists have appeared be- fore appreciative music lovers.
 "On this trip I have been in all of the so-called prohibition states, and I can say from observation that prohibition is a farce in the cities. Oklahoma is one of the dryest of states and Alabama is noted for it's drastic laws, and yet I un- derstand that there is a large illegal liquor traffic in these states. Ultra-pro- hibition, or what Is called statewide pro- hibition, has good deal of hypocrisy mixed up in it. l am not surprised to understand that Alabama, after being under statutory prohibition exactments for something like two years, has re- turned to the local option column. I suppose that it will not be long before beer and other beverages will be legal ly sold in Birmingham and the other cities of Alabama.
 T have enjoyed southern hospitality, and have been delighted with the south ern people, I shall return north with happy memories of the southland
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-05-25
County High Schools

One-half of the counties of the state have purchased sites, erected high school buildings and duly begun the upbuilding of a county college. To be exact 33 counties have done this, leaving 34 that have not availed themselves of the proffered aid of the state in establishing advanced ad- juncts of the public school system. In other words, 34 counties offer to their children no better education than the primary schools afford.
 These 33 high schools may in the course of time become county col leges, especially in the counties that have no other colleges. Increasing population and wealth will work fine changes in this respect. A county high school that secures a masterly and devoted principal takes a step in that direction.
 Whether this be the result or not the 34 counties that have not in- stalled high schools should get ready to act by filing with the secretary of the high school commission applica tions of central towns under the high school act, for surely no Alabama county is so backward as not to want a high school. The commission gives notice that after June 15 it will visit every place that files an application for county high school. The state appropriates $3o0O a year to each high school, and surely that should be an incentive to any centrally located town to strive to establish such a school. A county that does not do this is contributing to the SUD- port of high schools in other counties while it receives no benefit itself from the states generosity.

GEOGRAPHIC THANE OF sKIoB

From the New York Sun.
 In a characterstically misspelled letter, printed for reproof and warning and "hor- rible example, on this page, the Thane of Skiboo asks us to be to his faulty photography a little blind He cites "our admirable superintendent of public schools" Presumably the Thane uses 'admirable' in the sense of wonderful" ]" Now a superintendent of public schools who either can't or won't spell in a civil ized manner, who reveres or recommends carnegeized volunteer spelling, is not wonderful. In the absence of Artemus Ward such a superintendent is the natural head, so far as thing so formess can be said to have head, of a public school system that is the fruitful mother of H. lteracy.
 'Why not begin with tho" asks the cacographic builder of so many temples to the Genius of Andrew. The first drink the first step, the first crime; get thee behind us, Andreasl Having covered the earth with library buildings without books he would now fill the world with books without spelling, or of the wild, fantastic, motley, Bedlam sort which he has prac- ticed with unfortunate impunity for so many years and now seeks to inf1ict upon the rest of us.
 In his three millionth homily on peace the Thane says that his deformed spelling is the next most momentous thing to universal peace And he is butchering good, honest, law-abiding vowels and con- sonants every time he puts hand to paper In the absence of private secretary!

| it stands for. It shows the power of the mnistering angel in this world and the | possibility of immediate and substantial rewards. One can scarcely suppose that the nurse in question was of the suffra- gette order or that she looked to the in telectual life as her chief sphere of ac- tion.
 This does not mean that women are to be denied a right to seek control of those spheres of action which men have so long dominated A woman does anything she pleases whether she has right to do so or not. But it certainly emphasizes the fact that in her own sphere woman has abundant opportunities upon which men may not infringe in the slightest. Doubt less there will be those who will insist that the nurse was a. designing woman, who used her position to gain influence of an undue sort over her patient. Even if that is the case, it does not alter the practical result showing that sympathy and charm are of much more power in the world than physical force.
 Men are not in the least alarmed over losing any of their own rights to women. As fact. they generally concede pretty much all that women ask. What men do fear greatly is that women in entering the domain of man will become more or less unsexed, that they will lose their greatest charms. The more a woman resembles a man the less he cares for her. This is the day of the womanly woman. She can get anything that is attainable and some times more than she should. but she will be the last to complain on that score.
