 On asking Professor Gardner the op- feet in thus limiting the student body, he replied: Tn, view of the fact that a large number of our students expect to ,nter the best northern and eastern col leges, like Cornell, Harvard and Prince ton we are compelled to offer the very best possible training, in order that our graduates may enter with credit, ana nov be handicapped by deficiencies or condl- ;lons TO do this high grade of work we limit our students, having one teacher to every six or eight boys. In this way we are enabled to give every boy per sonal attention. Teaching g-successfuI teaching-is, after all, the contact of one mind with another, and the personal equation is all important"
 What do you do for your boys physi- cally?" we asked. Stt
 Well, in the first place. we have one of the best physical directors in the entire south. Then, we encourage out door sports. But we so at it in scientific way. Every boy is measured on enter ing school. From time to time reports are made as to each boys development. Thus we secure results. lasting as life itself"

Historic Engine at Fair

Montgomery, October 21.-(Special) Thousands of visitors who came to Montgomery this week to attend the great state fair. spent hours and hours in looking over the various exhibits Half of them journeyed to the fair grounds on the shuttle train of the Western Railroad of Alabama, but not single one of them was aware at the time that the engine which was pulling the train was the most historic exhibit that could possibly have been viewed. The engine just went quietly about it's menial task, unheralded and forlorn.
 Four years ago that same engine es- tablished the record time between this city and Atlanta, making the 175 miles in 176 minutes. despite few steps The average time was better than one mile minute It has now been rele- gated to utility machine, working only when it's bigger and better and stronger brothers fall by the wayside Passenger Agent J. P. Billups of Al lanta admits, however, that engine Is has sentiment about it that will long keep 1t alive in the hearts of the western officials.

Ely will last only only about six or eight years.
 Inasinuch as the plant is of slow rrowths being suitable to cultivation only in arid desert lands, Professor Lloyd ad- 1ises for its maintenance the following: Ut grows only about one and one-hfth inches a year, and not until it's fifteenth year js it best adaptable to use. 1t takes then" he says, 'only 15-year-old ilants: remove by clean cut at level Of ground to allow formation of new plants from roots; do not crop in growing sea- son."
 The work of Professor Lloyd was min ute and accurate It consisted in deter imitation of conceivable data. rate of growth temperature and it's effect in va fiation, moisture, and it's effect in vary ing quantities. and every other determina- tion known to the learned botanst.
 The book was published by the; Carnegie Institute of Science. and, as mechanical production it is superb. The institute, with it's reputation of fostering erudition, does not spare expense in it's publications and this is no exception.
 The work of Professor Lloyd has att tracted attention throughout the world Of rubber production. 1t has been mndte- ly reviewed. and praised. in the technical journals of Tropical Life, London. Eng; India Rubber Journal, London, England, and India Rubber World, New York.
 5 Because of his work with rubber, in which he is recognized international authority. Professor Lloyd has received an invitation to become a member of the honorary advisory committee of the IiThird sIhtenlationl Rubber and Allied Trades exposition. which vii be held at New.

Francis E. Lloyd'sl Publication

Auburn, october 21.-(Special.)-A publi- cation of international interest, contain ing the first and last authentic word concerning the great guayule rubber in- dustry of the Mexican desert. has been issued, bearing the name of Francis E.. Lloyd, professor of botany at Auburn. as it's author.
 The work, whose results are embodied in the volume, occupied MT. Lloyd for several years. Before he came to Au- burn four years ago he was engaged in studying the guayule plant in the chl- huahuan desert, with view to ascertain ing means of cultivating and perpetual irg it. The supply of the rubber plant is apparently becoming exhausted. and with more than S30,000,000 invested in the work of production of rubber from 1t, the question is one of importance. The guayule plant occurs only in the Chihua- hua desert, and Professor Lloyd's volume is the only authoritative and comprehen- sive study of the plant in all its phases of life.
 The guayule plant is one in which the rubber exists as a mechanical mixture anC from which it can be separated by a mechanical process of grinding and wash ing. The p1nt was discovered, in the bo'anlcal way, in 1852, and the first at tention to its economic value was drawn in 1S76 in 1905 the Germans placed the inst rubber extracted from the plant on the market, and soon thereafter American corapanes entered actively in the produc- tion of the rubber.
 There is only about 100000 tons of the plant available, and the exhaustion bs the manufacturers has been rapid. Be fore the advent of the commercial men the natives destroyed much of the avall- syle supply by using it as fuel Pro- fe ;sor Lloyd makes the estimate that at il,e present rate of consumption the sup
