Dear friend:
I'VE find that there are hundreds of
members of the American institute OF
Child Study tformeriy known as the
After School Study club here In BIZ

investment in the various features Is

most from it. In club work We are very
apt to study systematically. and we are
further helped by another's point OF
view. Too, the teachers of the city need
your point of view, and you, If you IN
tellisently pursue child study. surely
need the point of view of the teachers.

Social settlement work in Birmingham
has taken a great many stridt in the
period that has elapsed since in this de-
partment appeared a story Of the tiny
cottage over on AyeaUe E that had been
secured as milk depot and day nursery.
The enthusiasm ana gratitude of the
women who were standing back of this
splendid charity is still vivid in recollec-
1ion; their delight in the clean. sweet lit
tie rooms, the cheerful aspect of the
whole place. with its white enamel fur
nishings, ith bathrooms, where the chill
dren might be kept first of all clean, thus
warding off the sickness that follows neg
lect and want. They were glad of the
generosity that had nade even this iny
place possible and their pride in the roses
and curves that were coming back to
wan little cheeks because OF the whole
some and humane treatment being ac-
corded them was an inspiration to any
one to go out and ard some one to help.
Such an undertaking, backed by women
of influence, kind htrr.s and practical
sense could not fail to broaden to meet
the larger needs Of district growing
more thickly popula ted every day, and
when this week the institution, merged

It Is singular circumstance that In

imals, John Lawrence the first disciple
of "the rights of beasts" Is not even
mentioned.
Perhaps nothing stronger or more ad-
ni;'able than his plea for Justice to the
brute creation has ever been written,
yet his words, like his name. seem to be
unknown to those now identified with
the movement of which he was the
pioneer
Possibly this may be due to the fact
that his radical utterances in 1896 met

LARGE FINES
 FOR NEGROES Found Guilty of Stealing and Selling Produce and
 Fruits.
FIVE ARE IMPLICATED
Arrests Came After Investigation By Constable Frank Stewart and
 His Deputies.

What is supposed to have been a long series of robberies was broken up yesterday afternoon, when Asa Morrow, negro, received a fine of $25 in one case and $15 in four other cases of petit larceny, the punishment being assessed by Magistrate J. A. Frazier.
 Fred Harris, D. A. Armstrong and B. M. Moore, negro merchants, enter ed pleas of guilty to charges of receiv- ing stolen property and were each fined $25 in one case and $15 in another Charley Jones, another negro mer- chant, entered plea of guilty in one case and Magistrate Frazier promptly taxed him p simoleons.
 Morrow was arrested several nights ago by Constable Frank stewart on a charge of petit larceny, it being all leged that he had stolen a quantity of produce from the Harrison Produce Company. After severe questioning, the black confessed to a long series of similar thefts and implicated the above negroe store-keepers, saying that he had sold his stolen goods to them.
 The other negroes were arrested Friday night and when arrigned be- fore Magistrate Frazier yesterday af- ternoon confessed to having purchas- ed the sctolen goods from Morrow and each, with the exception of Jones, entefad pleas of guilty to two charges of receiving stolen property. As an explanation, the blacks stated that Morrow sold them the goods at a much smaller price then the regular merchants and that they could not re- sist the temptation to buy.
 Constable Stewart stated yesterday that he was of the opinion that Nor row had been in the habit of stealing produce from the Harrison company for a long time and that his arrest was the termination of long series of thefts.
 Charley Jones, who was fined $25 on one charge of receiving stolen goods, when told that his fine would amount to about $40, exclaimed, "Lawse have mucy, fohty dollahs for one file measly bunch uh bananahs, and den to hav' dem. tux away rum me-"
