ferent from the Public Schools in many ways, yet it is our definite aim to make the teachers in the Sunday Schools as proficient as those of the Public Schools"
 @;Do you direct your own work, or how is that managed?" I asked.
 'I have worked with three General Sec
 retaries,' she replied, since l began Judge Carthel, MT. b. W Sims and the
 present General Secretary, Mir. Leon c. Palmer. who, by the way, is a Teacher Training enthusiast-and they have each and all been very kind in letting me carry
 out my own plans in many different di- rections. They have been most consider ate. There is one branch of my work that appeals to me very strongly, and that is the Secondary Dvision-meaning by that, the work for the boys and girls in the teen ages. l had this work in the Sunday School, and my heart has always been in it. Now that the State organiza- tion is nearly complete, we are looking forward to the time when the spiritual need of the young life will be met in the Sunday School"
 What do you consider the most de- srable time to begin to prepare for teach ing? 1 asked.
 .'F'rom 17 to 1s is the ideal time for said Mrs. Moore, flor then the memory is strongest-the energies most alert and the mind keenest."
 Tn regard to the coming Bible Training
 School. what are the prospects?" l asked.
 Very encouraging, was the reply. We expect 1t be the greatest school that we have ever had in Alabama. There are so many noted speakers and workers who will be present and 1t will be rare treat to have them among us. There's pr. IT. M. Hammill for instance, who Is a native Alabamian l might say he is the father of the Bible Training School, and one of the greatest leaders. He is Chairman of the International Educa- tional Committee, and foreeful speaker and without appearing to possess it, he has the most delightful sense of humor. pr. William J. Williamson, Pastor of the Third Baptist Church of St Louis, has the reputation of having the work ing-est church in America. He has made
 himself very poplar, especially among the young people of St. Louis, and his good business judgment has had fine effect upon drawing the business men of St Louis into the church..
 And the women who are coming. tell me something of them,' l asked.
 Miss Nannne Lee Frayser I know personally and she is an unusually tall ented and beautiful woman. Her work and influence are often compared to Miss Margaret Slattery's and she is one of the most gifted speakers on the platform to- day. Miss Phoebe Curtis, Timothy Stand by's Winner, is one of tine most beloved Sunday school workers in the West She is one of the leading Home Department and Elementary Workers in America"
 And the others?" I asked.
 MT. Henry Wade Hicks. General Sec retary of the Missionary Educational
 Movement said Mrs. Moore, which holds the great Missionary Propositions in the different cities all over the United States, known as The World'-will decide when he is here whether Birmingham will be the chosen city for that great meeting next year. Then there's MT John l.. Alexander of Chicago, Scotch man and Presbyterian. and noted for his work among boys For many years he was at the head of the Boys Work of the Young Mems Christian Association. having been drafted for that in the Men and Religion Forward Movement, but he decided to go into Sunday School work as he concluded it was the best way to accomplish results with boys. pr. Car yer is a writer of note-his books, Mis- sions and Modern Thought and Mis- sions in the Plan of Ages, both being widely read. He is man of unusual qualities as a teacher, his ability to com municate his thoughts to others being one of his chief assets Mir. P. E. Greene has to his credit a fine record as a Bible School worker He is a fluent speaker. a man of excellent judgment, and he has been very successful in work. So you see we are to have most interesting personnel in the Bible Training School. and it will be a gerat pity if the people | of Birmingh do not take advantage or inc orportunity offered them to hear these men and women who have made Sunday school work life work
