THE EDUCATION
 OF WOMEN

Apropos of the interest felt in the edu- cational conference held at the High school this week, an expression from ]. G. Sherman, president of Cornell uni versity, concerning the education of women will be of interest. Many think CTS are of the opinion that girls are not educated for the business that they are to have in life, so such an expression from so eminent an authority carries due weight. Among other things Mir Sher- man says:
 "College education for women Is under going great change, and greater changes are soon to come. The problem of col lege education for the man is entirely diff ferent A boy makes a guess as to the profession he wants to follow. He takes the prescribed course. and if he makes the most of his time he finds himself fairly well fitted for his life work, whether it is law, medicine or engineering.
 "Wifehood and motherhood and home making is the greatest profession of women Nine out of every ten young women are destined to follow it. Isn it the duty of educators to train them for It?
 T relieve that womens colleges in the future will have courses especially adapt ed for girls In the past the colleges have compelled their women students to take the same courses that were prescribed for men for the reason that the college au- thorities didn't know what the women students wanted and needed, and also be- cause the women students wouldn't ac- cept anything else.
 'Of course, for the one-tenth of the women who do not intend to marry or who expect to become teachers, the pres ent courses are satisfactory, but for all

"It will be under my management" said Mrs Smith, "but 1t will be distinct and separate from the regular tours Careful and intelligent arrangement of the foreign tour enables one to present d really ex- traordinary trip in a few weeks visit inc cluding, say, five or six countries and an acquaintance with the principal capitals of Europe. The thought of such d tour is to make it of the greatest possible value educationally, but this to be accomplished
 in the way Grant Allen suggested when he says, the best learning of all is the learning one acquires without ever know ing 1t; and, he adds, nothing makes i'm pressions as vivid as pleasure Thus it is that the best educationally in art and historic byways is enjoyed not only with profit but with pleasure" she continued.
 Tn addition to this Israel club, We have worked out and found practical a desire we have had for some years of an Art class in foreign lands We found that Prof. H. Francis James, now instructor of free hand drawing at the Central High school of this city, intended to represent the Birmingham Public Schools at the Art Congress which will convene in Dresden in August. This congress meets but once in three years. Through this fact we were enabled to arrange with Professor JdHlcSb HOl Oflly lO take cndlSe OI lie Israel club tour, but to hold an Art Class for two or three weeks in Europe for any student members of the party who might desire 1t. Professor James received his art training at Pratt Institute Art School. Brooklyn, after which he studied abroad at Brighton, England, and in Paris at the Atelier Julien. being a pupil of M. Jean Paul Laurens. While in New York he studied with Henry Prell- nit t.. vi. .s.l. |. A. Herbert. the Artist Craftsman.

 What an excellent opportunity is af- forded the student of Art to enjoy a trip under such circumstances I suggested.
 There is nothing like Southern Italy for the Art Student" said Mrs. Smith, particularly around Ravello, near the Italian lakes at Rothenburg the most
 old fashioned bit of Germany and at Bruges the pure antique of Belgium. But none of these compare, we thought. in color quality for the sky on the west ern coast of France has much the trans parent brilliancy that is to be found OH the shores of the Mediterranean. Really, no more fascinating place could be chosen for serious study than in picturesque and artistic interest than old Brittany. So We have chosen Brittany as the scene of ae- tion for the Art Class. Brittany, a province of France, is almost surpounded by the sea and it's high mountains. This gives it wild and savage aspect. 1t remained untouched by the tourist tide until very recent years, although it has always been the favored haunt of Pain ters. These afford every variety of model to the student as there have been few changes in their fashions since the Sixteenth Century. All this presents

 I advise every woman who has the least symptom of womanly trouble, to take Cardui."
 Lady Reader, have you any of these symptoms? If so, we urge you, as Mrs Street does. to give Cardui a trial.

 True, the mountains and the Springs allure one in a way, but Nen one can always enjoy a sojourn there.
 Travel in one's own country can be &C., complished at nearly any time, but it's different with trip abroad.

SHARP RISE NOTED
 IN PRICE 0F COTTON

New Orleans, April 1.-The price of cot ton rose sharply and most unexpectedly today, chiefly as the result of unconfirmed reports of the breaking of levees in Ten nessee, Arkansas and Mississippi and the predicted rise here tomorrow. The shorts were buyers in an attempt to cover their commitments over the triple holidays.
 The new crop months were put over the Il cents level. The most active months were IS to % points over yester- day at the close, the July option show ing the most strength.
 The advance started soon after the opening when 1t became known that large short lines were being covered. A poor Liverpool and a good weather map were alike disregarded. Reduction in acreage this spring of 90 per cent is being advo- cated by a New York factor, but is not taken seriously, yet stimulated buying. Buying became general, and the market became more active than it generally is on the eve of an extended holiday. After the close 1t was announced there would be no trading until Monday. The close was F to g points up over current quo- tations prevailing yesterday.

GOSSIP OF
 THE A. E. A.

In these days when the English suffra- gettes are breaking windows, Birmingham women are taking a different method of showing their capability and their clever ress along this and other lines. Yester- day corps of the most prominent wom- en in Birmingham delegated themselves to welcome the Alabama teachers in be- half of school improvement work in the city of Birmingham. Every public school in the city threw wide it's doors in hos pitable intent. and the members of the various improvement organizations were there taking an active part in showing to the teachers from other cities just how much at heart people generally are talk ing the work of the schools. The South Highland school may be taken as repre- sentative of other like institutions, and a visit from the head of this department found it in readiness for the appearance of its many guests-with two pretty teach CTS at the entrance-Miss Evelyn Going and Miss Fannie Evans-and Mrs. Rich ard Johnston, Mrs Sterling Foster, Mrs
 J. w. Mcqueen, Mrs Herman Saks, Mrs
 John l.. Parker and Mrs. Robert Simpson representing the Improvement association
 ready to welcome all corners to the rooms where they were serving tea and sand

 science classes were preparing dalnties to refresh the visitors. Lessons were re- cited by the classes in the school just as
 usual. so that visiting teachers might
 have an opportunity to learn how the Bir- minsham schools are conducted. This schools welcome, and it's evidence of splendid work was beautifully indicativ of conditions in other localities, for never

 There were present three men who were in attendance SS years ago when the State Sunday School association was or ganized in this city, and they were heartily applauded when presented to the audience and explanation made of their long continued service in the good cause. They were J. II. Whitfield Of Brandon, Link Brown of Meridian and D.. NV. Brockman of Winona.
 The forenoon proceedings were of an informal nature, but everybody got ac- uuainted and seemed to enjoy the meet ing. which promises to give Sunday school work in Jackson a great boost.
 During the afternoon the official pro- gramme was taken up and carried out as far as possible, though several numbers were necessarily omitted, those to respond being detained on account of the high waters This second session was denom- mated as "Bible Glass Day" with N.
