ALABAMA HAS EDUCATIONAL
 EXHIBIT AT TUSCALOOSA FAIR

University, October 9.-(Special.)-In pursuance of it's plan of doing construc- tive educational work in the state, the university has put on display at the West Alabama Fair an educational ex- hibit Though not extensive. the exhibit is one to attract the attention of ed- ucators and others interested In the de- velopment of Alabama's school system.
 The exhibit consists of two charts and two maps. The first of these charts. An Educational Ladder" devised by Prof. J. J. Doster, dean of the department of ed- ucation, shows an ideal school system for Alabama. It brings out clearly the rela- tionship that should exist between the elementary and the high schools, and the relation of the high schools, the normals and the Alabama Girls Technical insti- ute to one another and to the univer- sity.
 The second chart shows the University of Alabama, the Capstone of the Public School System" It bears at the bottom the inscription, "The University of Ala bama is an institution of the state, in the service of the state, and backed by the state. One of the maps shows the distribution of the county high schools throughout the state. Of the CT counties in Alabama, only IA, Fayette, Jefferson, Tuscaloosa. Greene, Hale. Chil- ton, Perry, Washington, Mobile. Baldwin. Butler Crenshaw, Montgomery and Bull lock, are without this kind of institution. The other map reveals the wonderful ad- vance in high school education that has been made in Alabama in recent years. It brings out the fact that there are at state that are able to prepare students to meet the 14 unit requirements of the university.
 President George H. Denny Prof. James J. Doster and Prof. J. S. Thomas will leave Friday morning to attend the meeting of the department of superin- tendence of the Alabama Educational as- sociation, which will be held in Birming- ham that day. pr. Denny will address the meeting on the subject, The De- ficiencies in the Public School System.'
 The full meeting of the association is held each year in April but the unwieldy size to which the body has grown has necessitated the splitting off certain de- partments.
 The Young Mems christian associa- ton Bible study convention will be held at the university during the first week in November. The purpose of the convention, which is held annually, is to arouse the interest of students in colleges in the study of the Bible and further to stimulate- interest in the Men and Religion Forward Movement. A large number of delegates from the other colleges and universities of the state are expected to attend. MT. Ira

A Tyro in Sightseeing

From the Self Master Magazine.
 He was a young man, yet the tired lines about his eyes convinced his com panions that he had known many a bed less night. But he was among his elders as he slipped his coffee that evening around the fire at the colony camp. The company was made up mostly of quiet men-subdued by stern fate-who talked little and thought much. This young mana new arrival-believed his stories of daring would serve him well as proof that he too. was an initiative--a Knight of the Dusty Road; but to his questions the men replied. for the most part, in monosyllabes or left them unanswered.
 'I have visited every city in the states freighted. in the Canadas; was with Coxey on his invasion of Washing ton. I have met all men of prominence; visited with the highest and the lowest I have seen everything,''--
 Have you ever had delirium tremens? ?" asked a trembling old man, moistening his parchcd lips and speaking with diff fculty. Have you ever had the tre- mens?" he demanded.
 "No,' said the young man.
 Then you never saw anything" an- swered the old man, rising abruptly from his chair and leaving the room without another word.
