The formal transfer of the properties Of

The property consists of 255 acres in

which will result in a lake over 100 acres
in area. The dam will be $50 feet long and
will cost about H5,e0. The lake will be
one and one-fourth miles long by about
one-half mile wide and will be from to

manner in which every important trust
has been discharged have never had any
superiors and few eqcals IN the text look
commissions of this ar other states.
I fully indorse the very valuable sus-
gestions contained in your letter. l agree
with you that the text hook commission
should be appointed at least year be-
fore an adoption is made which the law
now prevents. Had this been permitted
by the present law you could have had a
years time in which to have carefully
studied manuscripts and the different pub
iications Offered Tor adoption, whereas
under the present system you were forced
In few months % carefully examine five
to seven hundred books.
Il shall take pleasure in recommending
to the next legislature that the law be
amended in accordance with your sugges-
tions.
Il also concur in the statement that the
compensation allowed is in no wise ade-
quate to the amount of services deriaE I'd
ed. The state has secured from It's pres
ent text book commission the value of ex-
per1ence and learning gained through
years of study, research and teaching In
the public schools, and yet pays for this
expert service the pitful sum of "a per
day.
THE advisability % the state providing
for the publication of it's own school
DOCKS, which you recommend, is entitled
to most serious consideration. i believe
with you that such a policy would have
the effect of saving thousands of dollars
to our people and would stimulate Ala
bama authorship and advance most ma
terially the interests of our common
schools. The other suggestions in your
letter are valuable ard will have my care
full consideration. but l expect to embody
practically all of them in my reccmmen-
dations to the next Legislature.
In reference to your suggestion that
an effort should be made to change the
classification of books, | shall cheerfully
take up the matter with the interstate Gen.
merce commission, and in connection with
other states endeavor to have classifica-
tion lowered.
Permit me TO say in conclusion, that
In the discharge Of your important duties
you have been utterly impartial, have al
lowed no personal or political -consdera-
t1ons to influence y ur conduct, and have
earnestly sougn. alone to promote the best
interests of the common school system of

THE WEDDING STATISTICS
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

THE overworked bridesmaid and tn
marriage license clerk know full
we'll that that season in which .;
livelier iris changes on the FURNISHED
dove has performed its duty, and
that June is the land.
For June has ever been the month
for reaping the fruit from the seed
sown in spring. Ever" is good.
Though many who have followed the
custom from no outward or material
impulse now look back on their ex-
perience and regret it, 1t happens,
nevertheless, that balmy June has been
from the time of the proverbial fig
leaf, the month In which every girl
has dreamed herself a bride.
June brides of other years can give
no reason why June was selected. But
the psychologist can. To the man
who studies the mind (and no doubt,
the heart and the souD and knows
IlOW " lllt illlpulStS VI tuo lltitt tIt

in regard TO the gentle passion no
12-month year. His year is made of
three. In April, Cupids sows. Venus
in the month of May, hangs by as the
grain ripens and sweetens the breath
on the wind. And in June, Mymen
ieaps. Good for the psychologist that
he follows the trail no further.
But other than the man of learning,
no one knows why the bride to-be
with gentle sigh, says: Let it be in
June"
June has been the banner month for
years-in Birmingham. For Birming-
ham, in this regard, is not unlike
Utopia or any other land save that
