The Summer School

Few features of modern educational activity supply greater need than the summer school. The older genera tion will readily recall the time when the summer vacation was long and studiless. Young boys and girls en- joyed three months of idleness, while the older pupils, especially those with reasonable amount of ambition, found the vacation heavy on their hands. Now splendid opportunities are offered young men and young women to pursue their studies during the greater part of the summer season.
 Every state has one or more sum- mer schools and all of them have proved popular. The University of Alabama had much larger enroll ment last summer than the summer before, and there is promise of even a larger number of students this sum- mer.
 Here in Birmingham's public school system the summer school is an estab- lished institution. Pupils who were backward during the scholastic year, but who are eager to catch up, are en- abled to apply themselves under good teachers and to prepare themselves for creditable examinations in Septem- Der.
 1 In every way educational work is progressing. Few professions have made finer headway than pedagogy. The well trained teacher finds his or her profession real joy, and never in the history of schools and colleges have student bodies applied them selves with such zest as in these days when the pursuit of knowledge is an all important pursuit for manly youth.

Birmingham's Magnificent Hotel

The Tutwiler, which will be opened for business tomorrow, IS not ohiy the most magnificent hotel Tn 'he south. but few in the United States are to be compared with it. It marks an important stage in Birmingham s progress.
 Several wears ago the need of a modern fireproof hotel here was much discussed, and more than once tenta- tive plans were made for million dollar building, but they were never advanced beyond the blue print; ana all turned out for the best. A million dollar hotel would not have been ade- ouate for the Birmingham ot today, much less the Birmingham of ten years hence.
 The Tutwiler represents an invest ment, including site and furnishings of more than two million dollars. Anc better Stlll, artlStlc IaSte anu the iaeo of comfort have predominated in its architecture. It embodies the last word in hotel equipment. It has features which will be copied by hotels in New York and Chicago.
 It is a noteworthy fact that all the capital required in the building of the Tutwiler was provided by Birming- ham men, and there has been no more striking example of public spirit here than is found in this splendid hotel If Birmingham has been criticized fol it's lack of hotel accommodations, ii will now be advertised far and wide as the southern city of greatest hote achievement.
 Every citizen is proud of the Tut wiler. All honor to the men who hav' proved their faith in the stability ol values hereabouts by putting thell money in it.

The New Era of Prosperity

After long periods of business de- pression the signs of returning pros
 perity are generally seen afar off and discussed before confidence among capitalists is restored and before the wheels of industry turn at full speed. Several weeks ago business conditions in the east, where depression was sore ly felt, began to show signs of im- provemcnt. At first the improvement was hardly noticeable, but as harvest time approaches prosperity is becom- ing real and general.
 Optimism is the dominant note now throughout the industrial world, and large transactions in the metals trade and in practically all branches of busi- ness are being reported. The pig iron market, which had been at rock bottom for more than year, is very active once more. Large iron tonnage has been contracted for, and the rush has just started. Iron is one of the best of barometers. Steel is another safe barometer, and that industry is taking on new activity every day. The coal trade, which has been dull, is now be- ing affected by the buoyancy in in- dustrial operations; and before the summer is many weeks older the Bir- mingham district will be all a-boom.
 Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, was quoted recently as saying, Prosperity has already arrived" If that state ment seemed over-optimistic at the time, it simply emphasized Judge Gary's ability as prophet. The Uni ted States will be blessed with bumper harvests, and the money value of this years crops will break all high rec ords of the past. This year promises to be easily the south's best year and Birmingham's best year.

A High Calling

My Father worketh even until now, and l work" John 5, IT.
 It requires an enormous amount of
 work to live. The labor of merely keeping our bodies, clothes, houses and yards clean is considerable. An
 other large item is securing, prepar- ing and serving the food we eat. And back of both is the titanic toll of get ting the money to pay for it all. This takes no accounting of the extras of life, like culture, pleasure, savings, public service.
 Thus are the tangible results of work necessary to life. We labor to get bread and meat. But on closer examination one begins to suspect that God has laid out life so that the bread and meat are merely baits to keep us at work. Work on it's spiritual side is chief nourisher in life's feast-builder VI pOoy anu uid diii, Ddlitl Ol iuIt lIliiiuS,

 of selfish sort than the smoldering death of none at all.
 Work is a universal law. Millet's picture of "The Sower' is great for

 We must rejoice in our labor. It ties us to all that has been and all that shall be. The sewers of today are one with the sewers of ten thou sand years ago in the Nile and Euphrates valleys; and one with those

Blease. the Irrepressible

Gov. Cole Blease of South Carolina has announced that he will clean out the state penitentiary by August l and turn it into tuberculosis hospital for negroes. The wholesale way in which he has granted pardons, paroles and communications of sentence since he has been in office gives some ground for believing that he will try to make good his promise. He has already ex- tended executive clemency in over l400 cases and is proud of the fact that he holds the pardon record on the American continent.
 Blease is a strange type. He has published book in which he explains why he has pardoned many convicts. Some of the reasons he gives for his official acts are humane, but far more verge on the absurd. His contempt for the courts is profound, his ideas of jus tice are tinged with arrogance and his literary style," like his oratory, smacks of the lower stratum of so- ciety.
 In explaining why he pardoned a man who was charged with trading a blind horse to another man, Governor Blease says that when two men trade horses one or the other is bound to get the better of the bargain, and the man who is "stung" should not com plain. Furthermore, he states, that any man who lets another palm off a blind horse on him without his knowl- edge is either drunk or fool.
 In other cases of more serious na- ture the governors explanations are equally bizarre. He pardons murderers freely and justifies himself with ready aplomb. A great many men to whom he has extended clemency com mitted violent crimes. Is he human itarian or shrewd politician? His detractors claim that he uses the par

THE TORPEDO ys. THE BIG GUN

From the New York Sun.
 When Admiral Sir Percy Scott of the British navy declares over his own Sig nature that the admiralty is wasting money in building dreadnaughts because submarines and submersibles have rem dered battleships obsolete it will not do to answer him by saying that he is a wild theorist who does not weigh his words. As matter of fact Sir Percy Scott is the most practical and hard-headed of naval officers, perhaps also the greatest living authority upon handling guns of the largest calibre; he is besides, the in- ventor of a system of night signalling now used in the British navy. His great est distinction is that of a battleship tac- tician, and when he retired from active service few months ago no officer in the navy was accounted more competent and valuable than Sir Percy Scott. If he has spoken out now in terms that may not be relished by the government it must be from a sense of duty.
 When Sir Percy Scott urges the admi- ialty to construct great fleet of sup- marines and to build no warships but fast cruisers he must have in mind the rapid Improvements recently made in tor pedoes the most powerful of which now have range of 75Oo yards. The Ger mans have a 2i.6 inch torpedo that in the judgment of the experts could put 27- GOO ton dreadnaught out of commission no matter what part of the hull was hit. A good deal of time is devoted by the Ger mans to night torpedo maneuvers with masked lights at the stern. Great speed is attained in handling these boats with the utmost security. In an article upon the maneuvers the Naval and Military Record said recently that "a fiotilla work ing at night moves with an assured pre- cision that is nothing short of marvel ous." The German specialists believe that three fiotillas of S3 boats would sink a battleship squadron of eight ships with out much difficulty They express the opinion that the torpedo will decide the next great naval war.
 Great Britain is not neglecting torpedo practice. She is building more subma- rines and submersibles than Germany, carefully concealing improvements. It may be doubted, however, whether the rank and file of the British torpedo boat personnel is as well trained and capable as the German. In the opinions he eN- presses about the use of destroyers and submarines in modern warfare and the decline in fighting value of the all big gun warships Sir Percy Scott is proba- ply giving utterance to ideas that are be- coming prevalent in the British navy among progressive officers.

HoBsON,s BILL

From the New YOrk IlmeS.
 Prohibition of the sale, manufacture for sale, transportation for sale and im- portati tion for sale of intoxicating liquors as beverages is the plan which Congress- man Richmond Pearson Hobson would have three-fourths of the Legislature em- body in the federal constitution. There is prospect that the House of Representa- tives will soon vote on the Hobson bill.
 It should be killed in Congress. The rep resentatives and senators would properly record the will of the people in this mat ter. The fact that II states have repealed laws passed to prohibit the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors and that sev- eral of the nine states now under prohib- itory laws expressly permit individuals to import as much liquor as they and their families can consume shows the insin- cerity of the propaganda. More than half the population of the United States is comprised within twelve states that license the sale of liquors, while their consumption is the scustom every where. The prohibitionists would concern trate their efforts upon the legislatures of the sparsely settled and less responsi- ble states to achieve three-fourths ma jority representing a small minority of the entire population.
 Those who have voted for prohibition have cast their ballots with the conscious ness that contiguous territory was wet" While the liquor dealers saw their brew cries and distilleries destroyed in certain states, the consumption per individual has steadily risen The people go on drinking under the hypocritical laws, which tend to bring all law into disre- spect If the congressman do their duty now a great deal of mischief will be pre- yenfed

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Members of the Chicago Dressmalx- CTS club say that a few women in Chicago spend s75000 each on clothes; 100 social leaders spend $50,000- each; 10000 others get along on 5000; well dressed clnbwomen manage to worry along on $500 apiece; but the modest suffrag gists and church workers, who though few of us have probably mo- tfced it) must dress about alike, spend the same amount, namely, $500. Hav- ing various causes much at heart, they have other uses for their money than displaying it on their backs. The so- cial workers are, very properly, more modest still, spending only $500. The stenographers, shop girls and factory girls spend, respectively. s275. $25O and s200. As the wages of these girls can not average above $15, $10 and $S, re- spectively, it will be seen that they spend too much on their clothes, and yet they could hardly present a de- cent appearance. on less. They lose something by not making their own clothes, but they must be very strong to sew much after finishing their days work.

And you farmers, you are leagued with the fecund earth, the rolling seasons and the kingly sun Tradesmen, you are coupled with the yielding soil, the producing seas, and the winds and powers that bear our commerce. Housewives, you head up the work of fat valleys and sunny hills, of docile herds, of orchards and vineyards and gardens; you are sis ters to the wandering winds that cleanse the air and freshen the world. You washerwomen and scrubbers and bathers of babies and patients-you are in partnership with moving tides, leaping cataracts, silver streams, morning dews, rain-sprays, snow mys- teries.
