STATE PRODUCTION
OF CLAY IS SMALL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 90
Though Delaware ranks favorably in
agricultural and manufacturing with
any state in the Union. according to
its size, and outranks many in the
latter industry, it is limited in it's
mineral production to its clay, sand
and gravel pits. All of these are of
small Importance when compared to
other states, says a report of the
Geological Survey to the Department
OF Commerce and Labor.
The total production in the state in
1911, the year on which the report
is based, was valued at $491, ,657, of
which s21S,234 was represented by
the output of the stone quarries and
S200,610 by the clay products. In
1910 the total production was valued
at 1864, ,073, of which S357.7 was
furnished by the quarries and $216,-
800 by the clay works.

and colleges in other sections of the
country.
In athletics the state schools are well
abreast those of other parts of the
United States A few years ago the
University of Alabama baseball nine
made long trip through the north
and east, playing a majority of the
leading institutions of those sections
The nine won considerably more games
than they lost, thus indicating that
the class of athletic training was on
very high plane.
In some of the institutions athletics
are as much a part of the course as
is Latin, Greek or mathematics. Train
ing of this character is no doubt of
great benefit in after years, and the
men who control the destinies of the
boys and girls of Alabama are careful
that they get every advantage.
The climate which prevails through
out Alabama is also a great asset to
opportunity to enjoy outdoor exercises
almost every day of the year. and
the general health of students is SO
good that little or no time is scarcely
ever lost at any of the institutions.
Debating clubs, societies, fraternities
and other features of college life which
are rart OF the larger institutions are
faithfully carried out in practically all
of the Alabama colleges. and form an

During the past two years more sys-

state for the betterment of the rural

riod in the history of the state. Through
the unremitting work of trained super

and more responsive activity on the
part of the county superintendents and
with the aid of strongly organized
work in boys corn clubs and girls
canning clubs promoted by the ma

children are being reached more e,ee-
lively and more efficiently than rver

The aims, methods and results of this
industrial education are frankly diff
ferent from any of the older classical
traditions of education. Openly avowed,
its aim is to dignity manual labor and
fit men for the practical business of
life. As Mr.. Huxley expressed it, it
treats not only of man and his ways,
but also of things and their forces and
their value for the comfort of human
life. 1t would not supplant the humani-
ties, history, language, philosophy. art,
literature, but it would supplement
them with chemistry, physics, agricul-
ture and mechanics. While training the
