GETTING READY
FOR INSTITUTES
Instructors Convene Here
Today-Work Beneficial
to Teachers

Tuesday at noon the instructors and
conductors of the county Institutes will
convene in Birmingham. at the high
school, for a session of three days.
The Institutes. by means of which the
teachers of the public schools in the
counties are instructed in the most ad-
vantageous methods of teaching, begin
July 2s. As a result of the sessions in
Birmingham next week, the instructors
and conductors of these institutes will
be prepared to act in accordance with
well devised methods, and their instruc-
tion will be Identical in each county.
Announcement to the above effect was
made in Birmingham yesterday by Henry
j. Willingham, state superintendent of
education. He announced also that Prof.
c. A. Brown, principal of the high school,
would be asked to preside over the three
days sessions
Mr.. Willingham announced also that
the manual which is being prepared at
the present time would be ready for the
printers within the next few days The
consisting of C. b. Glenn, chairman;
spright Mcdowell and Miss Rosa Strick-
land of Birmingham and n. r. Baker,
state supervisor of rural schools. This
manual is a book to which experts in
teaching have contributed. 1t is to be
used by public school teachers in instruct
ing the several subjects which will be
taken in their schools.
Fine results are being obtained stat
ed Mr.. Willingham, from the bill en-
actedTby the present legislature provid-
ing for county institutes. The institutes
begin July 2S and will be held in every
county of the state and each will last
one week. Under the law every teacher
save those in possession of life certifi-
Gates is required to attend the institute
of his county. AS a result the teachers
are becoming more and more proficient.
The work will be ever continuous for the
fact that thnre are always new teachers.
The instructors and conductors of these
institutes are well trained men and wom-
en-, and they work in pairs, one pair to
the county.
.The school can be no better than the
teacher. and we are improving the schools

Will Indorse no Candidate

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In reporting the meeting of the Ala
bama Convict Improvement association,
which was in session on yesterday in your
city, Z statement which is misleading and
confusing was made by your reporter,
which / trust you will please correct. 1
refer to that part of the report which is
calcula ted to leave the impression that
the association indorse the Hen John Fl.
Wallace as its candidate for governor.
beg to inform you that such was not the
case. We did not indorse Mr.. Wallace's
candidacy, nor did we indorse the candi-
dacy of any man seeking office, nor will
an Endorsement for any candidate eman-
ate from this organization. AS a further
proof of our position, a gentleman ap-
peared before the committee with the
statement that he would be candidate
for the next legislature. He was promptly
called to order by the chairman and ad-
vised that the committee would not stand
sponsor Tor any candidate and ruled the
gentleman cut of order. This organiza-
ton must not be regarded as a political
machine. We are not an organ. of any
PARTY or creed we are not the hirelings
of any class or clan, but an organization
created for the purpose of elevating fallen
humanity, and in doing so we erase from
the fair name of our state blot which
reflects ON its social political and moral
position.
BY putting the convicts on the public
roads of our state we will benefit not only
the property holders of the state, but
every man, woman and child will be ma
tcrially benefited accordingly. 1t is fight
for the masses and not the classes that we
are making. Yours very truly,
ROBERT MOULTHROP,
Chairman Alabama Convict Improvement
Association.

REST FOR THE WEARY
It is announced that the u. S.
Supreme Court will take its
usual Easter recess" from Feb. 8
to Feb. "a.
To be sure the courts docket is
crowded and some cases of the
highest Importance to the coun-
try await decisive action, but we
must not show contempt of the
court by opining that it is down
right lazy and shiftless. Far be it
from us to court a Jail sentence
for les majestic. So we will say
that the court will pray so hard
and labor so hard in repentance of
its sins on Easter day, March 23,
that it will need three weeks va
cation in February.
What a pity it is that the co.
100000 of the rest Of us cannot
afford to lie off for three weeks in
order to recuperate for our Easter
devoutness.
English lords and syndicates
own 100000 acres of land in
