Alabama Schools and Colleges

Some of the private schools and
colleges in this state opened early in
September; others opened by the 10th.
They are all open now. Every college
reports large enrolment; most of
them larger than this time last year.
At the University of Alabama and the
Polytechnic institute at Auburn en-
rollment indicates larger student
bodies this year than ever before.
With the increasing prosperity of
this state, both in the cities and in
the rural districts, the colleges have
increased attendance. And the best of
it is that increased efficiency in the
college and school faculties is the rule
everywhere.
While considerable attention is still
paid to classical culture, and the time
should never come when culture is
neglected, the demand for technical
training becomes more and more IN
sistant. To the credit of our Alabama
institutions the student leaves college
or high school better equipped for a
vocation than was so few years ago.
In this state engineers and chemists
and scientific farmers have abundant
opportunities for applying their tech
nical knowledge. 1t used to be that
our young men who sought technical
training had to spend several years
in the north acquiring their education.
1t is not so now. In this Birmingham
district scores of young men we'll
trained technically are employed by
the various corporations. There never
was time when the incentive to edu-
cation was as great as it is now.
And the flourishing condition of the
colleges and institutes cannot but
gladden. the hearts of those who take a
large view of life and appreciate the
Importance of mental and technical
culture.

Cooperation the watchword

TT will make a splendid impression on
land congress meets in this city in No
vember,'' said business man who is
watching the work of that organization.
1.-The spectacle of land owners, farmers,
bankers, newspaper men, mayors of
in every walk of life, together with the
heads of every railroad system operating :
in Alabama and their immigration Off
cials, all meeting to consider how they
can work together for the advancement
of Alabama along material. practical
lines, is bound to have a far-reaching ef-
feet no less here at home than abroad.
1t is through this kind of effort that re-
suits are obtained.
"Co-operation is the watehword for this
meeting, and If nothing else is accom-
plished by the land congress, it will be a
great achievement to have brought these
forces together to consider the needs OF
Alabama, her wonderful resources, and
evolve a successful method to meet these
needs. Once the spirit of cooperation Ii
aroused and organized it will prove a
powerful lever in the development of the
state. This is one of the strongest fea-
to me. from this view of 1t the citizens Of
Birmingham and the state should give il
all possible encouragement"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Knoxville Exnosit,on

f. M. Jackson returned yesterday from
two days visit TO the National Conser-
walton exposition in Knoxville. When
asked what he thought of the exposition,
Mr.. jackson replied: 1T is of most in
teresting nature instructive and educa-
tlonaL | was very much surprised al it's
extent. 1t would do credit to a very much
larger city. Knoxville has certainly done
credit to herself in this undertaking. The
grounds are well arranged, the buildings
are large and attractive and the edu-
cational features from point of conser-
walton are well worth anybody's visiting.
i am sure IL Birmingham manufactur
efs could have appreciated fully the ex-
tent of this exposition there would have
been very much larger display of the
products manufa ctured here. The several
displays made by Birmingham firms are
very creditable.
i would advise everybody who has
the time to take a day or two off and
visit this splendid show"

Great Music Festivals

Music festivals are not so much in
vogue in this country as they were
Is or &c years ago. This fact is partly
accounted for by the extensive scale
upon which grand opera is given in a
few large cities, to say nothing of
grand opera tours.
The three music festivals that are
kept up as permanent institutions are
those of Worchester, Mass, Cincin-
natl, o., and Spartanburg, S. c. The
music festival, in the generally ac-
cepted sense, embraces a large mixed
chorus, solo artists and a symphony
orchestra. The Worchester festival is
an annual event and is always held in
the fall of the year. This years fes-
tival takes place this week. Among
the soloists will be several celebrities
who have appeared in Birmingham,
and the orchestra will be made up of
Boston Symphony players. The
Spartanburg festival is held annually
in the spring. And the Cincinnati
festival--the most pretentious of all
is held biennially in May.
The greatest festival in the world
is that held triennially in Birming
ham, England. Our Birmingham, the
namesake of the great English city,
has had a number of high class festi-
walls with large and we'll trained
choruses. Two of these festivals were
directed by the late Theodore Thomas,
who brought with him his matchless
orchestra.
Now that we are to have an audi
torium with a vast seating capacity it
would be well for some of our leading
musical people to organize strong
society for the purpose of giving at
least one large choral work each year.
The old time way of bringing choruses
from different cities and massing
them at the festival under competent
director would, if tried again, prove
popular.
Work on the auditorium will prob
ably be started in November and il
is possible that it will be ready fol
use next May. 1t may be found de-
sirable to open the auditorium with
an opera festival. In that event, the
music festival with chorus and or
chestra might be given in the fall.
There is great deal of interest il
music in Birmingham as we'll as il
ohter cities, although some of the bes
/ symphony attractions have failed tt
draw paying houses; but a music fes
tival on big scale could be made t.
| pay expenses.

First Boat Through Gatun Locks

The passing of the first boat
through the giant Gatun locks at Pan
anna marks the beginning of the end
of the work on the canal. The first
vessel passes from sea level to Gatun
lake and is a notable accomplishment.
A large number of people waited
all day in the tropic sun to see the
operation. Colonel Goethals was a
spectator and doubtless his heart
thrilled with pride as he saw the boat
rising on the waters.
It is a significant fact that there
was no hitch. Everything went
through according to the schedule.
The 500-ton leaves of the lock gates
worked with the precision of well
oiled door. 1t is predicted that the re-
mainder of the work on the canal
!, when it is opened, will operate with
equal perfection.

varied and timely but they will be dis

of whom are specialists.
Oscar w. Underwood will open the
night session of the second day of the
land congress with an address on
"The High Cost of Living and the
Remedy" President W. W. Finley of
the Southern railway will discuss
"The Railroads and Their Relation to

welcome at the morning session of
November A, and he will discuss rural
credits at the session of November 6.
The congress will close on the night
of November with reports of COM
mittees and the election of officers.

farmers and business men and up
builders in general are manifesting
lively interest in the land congress.

Should Have Clean Courthouse

The new addition to the county
courthouse is rapidly nearing COM
pletion and will probably be ready
for occupancy by the time the civil
courts convene. The addition is
planned to be used for the criminal
department of the county and Tor
other purposes and will no doubt re-
lieye the former overcrowded condl-
ton. Yet the old building still re-
tains many of its undesirable features
and one is lack of cleanliness. The
mere mopping up of floors is not only
insufficient but insanitary, as SUCH
practice leaves much dirt in the cor
ners of the rooms and around the
office furniture which can be seen at
a glance.
At the present time the courthouse
is very dirty but that is due in prat
to the construction work that is going
on. The matter will no doubt be rem
edied when the improvements are all
finished and the courthouse given a
thorough scrubbing from basement to
attic. There are several hundred per-
sons whose business or occupation
compels them to spend the greater
portion of their time within the court
house and it is the duty of the board
of revenue to safe guard them against
disease as much as possible. AS DR..
Oates has stated the courthouse needs
liberal application of soap and wa
ter and "elbowgrease," and less of the
bucket of water and greasy mop.
The board of revenue will doubtless
put the courthouse in cleanly condi-
ton as soon as the construction work
is completed, but the main point is to
keep it clean.
