EDUCATION FOR
union PRINTERS
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION CON-
DUCTS A TRADE SCHOOL FOR
THE EDUCATION OF UNION
PRINTERs-KNoWN AS THE "a.
r. U. COURSE" AND is POPULAR.

The International Typographical
union is the oldest in American labor
organizations, and it's activities are Of
unusual interest to sociologists.
This union has developed and main
tains a home for aged members and a
tuberculosis sanatorium which has
cost more than 100000; last year it
spent more than 100000 in pensions
to aged members; 1t also has the US
ual strike and burial benefits. The re-
ceipt of handsome booklet reminds
us that in addition to all this, the
union is doing what so many are talk
ing about-conducting a trade school.
In order TO reach the more than
fifty Thousand members of the union
instruction is necessarily given by
correspondence. The booklet gives a
few of many expressions of approval
from students who are taking or have
taken the lessons. This system of
education is popularity known as the
81. T. U. Course" and it's methods
mark departure from other systems
of topographic education. The old
plan was to study specimens of work
by accomplished compositors, the stu
dents following them as much as pos
sible, which tended to develop copyists
rather than creators. Decorative typo
graphy must necessarily follow artis-
tic lines, so the promoters of the /. T.
u. course went to the art schools and
ferreted out the principles of design
and color harmony which underlie
good typography. The student is first
taught these principles, and then aided
in applying them to every day work.
This not only enables the compositor
to perform his daily labor with greater
ease and more satisfaction, but de-
velops any artistic talent he may
possess. The instructors are printers,
of course, and this is an important
feature. Professor Sargent, of the art
department of. the University of Chi
cago, after thorough inspection, en-
dorsed the course. In answer to a
question the professor said he could
not give students as good service as
the course instructors, for the reason
that he is not printer. 1t is claimed
that one of the important reasons for
the success of the course is that II
was prepared for printers by printers
This subordination of the pedagogue to
the mechanic or artisan Is a moot and
interesting question in the organiza-
ton Of trade schools OF any description.
The commission having the unions
venture in charge claims that IL has
achieved success, and points TO an
enrolment OF nearly 1900 students
in thirty months as proof Some
Of these students give their
opinions of the course in the booklet
before us. Among them are two men
more than so years old one Of
whom has secured the best job he ever
had, as a result of taking the course;
the other, who has had little oppor-
tunity to become proficient in the bet
ter-paying class Of printing, says the
course has taught him more of the
right kind of stuff than he had learned
In many years. A young man OF
20 jubilantly tells that his salary
has been raised Sc per week, and he is
expecting more. An English bred
student declares that the course beats

SOUTHEASTERN AVERAGES

Rome, Ga, August 13.-(Special.)-lnt esting as the race between Annistpn and Gadsden for the Southeastern pennant, almost, is the contest between Chauccy of Selma and Wasem of Anniston for the batting honors of the organization.
 At present, or at least up to the games Of last Wednesday, Chancey led by three points. Unusual as 1t may seem both men have been to bat the same number of times. Chancey having 1o6 hits and Wasem 105. Chancey's average is S73. while Wasems is .37O Long of Gadsden has made more hits and runs than any man in the league and it will not be sur prising to see him push ahead of both Chancey and Wasem for the champion swatting honors.
 There are now only nine men in the Southeastern batting above the 300 mark. Anniston has two, Gadsden, three Selma, enc: Huntsville, two. and Decatur. one.
 Here are the batting averages of all those who have participated in 10 or more games and have swung the stick for .25o or better up to and including the games

MODELS HOPEFUL
 OF WINNING RAG

ABniston. August 13.-(Special )-The less of two to games to Selma by the Anniston Models last week, and the winning of four straight from the Decatur cripples by the Gadsden Steelmakers, put the Gadsdenites up on the percentage mount to such an extent that they now seem 10 have a vision of the rag, their closest opponents being the followers of Red Fisher. manager of the Annistonians. Gadsden now stands on the dizzy height of .632 4s points ahead of the Models. who dropped to .5S4 Saturday afternoon.
 The race lies between two ex-Southern leaguers, Red Fisher and King Bailey, both of whom have twirIed great ball in their day. Fisher has worn the man. agerial toga in the Southern league, and when he was imported by -Anniston on being released by Atlanta in May, 1t was generally believed that he would corral club that would run away in this in cubator. The Models began to climb as soon as he assumed the leadership, and they held the top rung of the ladder long, CT than 1t has been held by any other club About two weeks ago, however, they slumped' and the question is being asked, Can the Fishermen come back?'
 Annistonians are still hopeful They be- lleVe that Tom Fisher will win that rag yet, and thus put one over on the man. ager of the Steelmakers. The race be- tween the two old heads has attracted attention throughout the south, despite the fact that the Southeastern is a con-
 paratively infantile organization. Gads- den has just won r out of 1s games. or F on a stretch They enter upon A two weeks road trip this week, however. playing Selma, Huntsville, Anniston and
 Decatur, and Annistonians are hoping they will lose on this trip
 Just as Anniston strengthened last week by purchasing Gordon McDuff for a weak ness at short, Karl Eubanks. center field CT and relief catcher, was injured so as to be disqualified. This caused a shake up ir the lineup which has been some what weakening at critical time, and the Models face series of six games with Rome this week with some trepidation.

The price has not been stated. Frank had a scout in Selma to see Hill work and the deal will be closed Tuesday, when Frank will meet Fisher at Rome, ac- cording to information given out here.

 "The Birmingham players must be men of good spirit. A month or so ago their manager was subjected to a se- ries of severe attacks by some of the newspapers and by some of the fans. Usually under circumstances like these, the players lose heart and quit playing their hest ball. They see that the press and the public have withdrawn their support from the manager and they inn mediatelys withdraw theirs
 Not so with the Birmin gham play CTS. AS soon as Molesworth was put under fire they tore loose and began to support him with a brand of baseball that has become the wonder of the league.

 '"Bully for the Barons." ,--
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-08-14

One of the finest compliments paid by a sporting writer to baseball team this season Is the following by Percy Whiting in the Atlanta Georgian con- corning the Barons:
 "If the Barons win the pennant in the Southern league this year they will do so after one of the bravest fights that baseball history has ever recorded. And certainly it looks right now as though they might. s
 For weeks now the once despised Barons have been closing inson the Peiicans. and Friday they took a dou- ble header while the Pels lost one game. As things stand right now, the Ba- rons must win six in a row while the Pelicans are losing five Cor the Barons must win five while the Pelicans are losing six) in order to give Moley's CO., horts the lead.

Confidence and Overconfidence

Our team Is in excellent condition. The pitchers-everyone of them-are going finely Maxwell and FoXen and Kent and Speer and Trough compose a hand 10 couture with. If the fingers maintain their speed the Barons will return to Rickwood with honor un- smeared and with a healthy string of luscious victories.
 Molesworth is out of commission with a bad leg and a bad muscle. but Yantz is going like a Ty Cobb in right field. The Barons are fielding in ex- ceilent style. Ellam is doing better work than at any previous time this season, and the remainder of the in field galaxy is moving with the pre- cision of clock and the accuracy of a thermometer.
 The team believes itself a winner It's confidence Is something to cause alarm. Saturdays game for instance, was lost through an absolute certainty on the Barons' part that their one rul scored in the first inning was suf- ficient to win the game. And that run would have won but Tor that accidental punch over right field fence by a right handler batter who Is batting at very mild percentage.
 Confidence is a great factor in the success of a club. Over-confidence is deleterious. If the team is as smart as we believe it to be. that defeat Satur- day will knock lover confidence" into a cooked hat and a cooked hat is not worth a continental.

becomes more interesting. and is second only to the, race for the rag from a stand point of interest Including the games up to last Saturday Chancey was still maintaining the lead over his left-garden opponent at Anniston by four points, all though the way in which Wasem has gained during the past two weeks seems to indicate that he will yet beat out the former South Atlantic swatter. Chan cey has been at bat 300 times and has secured Ill hits. giving a percentage of .370, while Wasem who has secured 109 safeties out of 2sS times at bat, comes second with .366.
 The figures show that there are now nine men in the league batting over 300. They are Chancey. Wasem. Tornpkins of Huntsville, Long of Gadsden, McDuff of Anniston, Fenner of Huntsville, Dorsey of Gadsdens Cook of Decatur and Mil ford of Gadsden.
 It will be noticed that Gadsden leads Anniston in this respect, but as a teau, the Models are batting ahead of the league.

Here's Our Prediction

There are four contenders for divis- ion honors-New Orleans. Birmingham, Montgomery and Nashville.
 This department of The Herald ventures the prediction that Birming ham will be no further separated from New Orleans at the conclusion of the road trip than at the present time. and that Montgomery vii be no nearer Bir- min gham than today.
 Of course should Nashville win a handsome majority of it's home games, Nashville is to be reckoned with. But we believe that when the Barons re- turn home again. they will still be in the running and almost neck and neck for first honors.
 And should New Orleans do a little slumping on this trip. the Barons will be all about the necks of the Pels when the gong is sounded in the ides of September

Long Trip Unfortunate

To play nineteen successive games on foreign territory just at time when there is a chance to win the pennant, is exceedingly unfortunate. This is especially true in view of the fact that the Pelicans possess a lead of about 5 games, and the additional fact that Nashville with about 20 successive home games, the first of which begins today, is ready to take advantage of any little slip that might occur in our progress.
 However, it is well to remember that s season proposition. all clubs with the exception of New Orleans and Mo- bile, have been easy marks for the

Our Recent Successes

After a signally successful stay at home" our bold Barons have struck a trail which will lead them to and from every city in the Southern league.
 It is an awful trip artfuly inlaid with sloughs and pitfalls, and 1t remains to be seen whether or not the Baron's courage will return the clan of Moles- worth in very select society, or in the company of the salted down second ra . ters. For the fans at home have reach ed such a state of enthusiasm that the success or failure of the current sea son depends almost solely on whether or not the Barons finish as high as they are today.
 It is a fiendish trip. Everyone will appreciate that fact. It Is a precarious trip, and the chances are that the Ba- rons vii win fewer games than they will lose But we believe, and with reason. that they will do as well as break even-and if they should break even it Is a very greedy and unsports- mannke appendage of the fan flock who will open his mouth to grumble or his mind to evil thinking.
