LETTERS TO EDITOR
Markets for Birmingham

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: With the attempts of the city commis- sion to secure farm products to Btrming- ham at lower prices. we would like, by the aid of your paper, to present coun- try-side proposition. When the city urges the trucker to come to some point to offer his produce, 1t does not in any sense assure him of a right in that place from day to day. we presume the right of making a public highway business place not to be part of the commissions 8 office.
 Could he have speciay rights out fin the street, there would come the old question of the middleman.
 An increase to business prompts him to secure means to deliver goods to his cus- toners, and thus we see a middleman n in- truding on the public at truckers bid ding. After all, what can 1t avail with a middleman to serve him. where the trucker is left to the exposure of the com mon street to build up business?
 In place of the city's plan suppose we have at suitable places markets under the names of districts-say, Ehades' Val ley district market; Huffman district mar ket: Pinson district market etc Such a system of markets. if properly conductor by the city. would soon lead to rivalry in the management of truck farms in the districts.
 Such a system of markets could be ftir- ther utilized by lessening the amounts of produce not in active demand; by the means of telephones to the trucking dis- tricts: and in this manner furnish the trucker a more active cash business bv which he would become able to make more abundant crops to sell in the r,ar- kefs at lower figures than had forvv,.,s.. prevailed.
 There is much else about this subject. but let this suffice.

ment it appeared as if the entire building was mass of flames. As the Keeley institute is situated on an elevation the glare of the flames could be seen from all parts of Birmingham, and 1t was thought that huge fire was in progress. The upper part of the buildings is badly damaged, but the lower floors suffered but slightly.
 The Keeley institute has occupied the present buildings since the first of the year. The place was formerly known as the Morris infirmary.
 According to a statement of the manage ment of the institute last night there was fire last week from defective Hue and it is thought that the fire last night originated from the same cause. The place will be immediately repaired. 1t is stated

Domestic Science East and West.
It would seem that the people OF our
western borders are more interested IN
domestic science than are they, for In
stance, of s0-called cultivated New Eng
land. The courses OF instruction In west.
ern schools and colleges are thought to
be more practical in character. How to
earn Q living seems to be the item Of
foremost concern. Hence preparation
for some real life work inspires the
work done in our western institutions.
Industrial training of all kinds Is becom-
ing most popular. In many q school OF
the west fully equipped department
for teaching domestic science has been
provided for. This equipment includes
q class-r room and laboratory, q, Kitchen,
laundry, dining-room, reception room,
bedroom and bath-all furnished with
the best of modern appliances and acces.
series. Thus the proper apparatus and
means are at hand to impart practical
instruction In scientific housekeeping.
This rapid increase of industrial train
ing is one of the most remarkable signs
of the times; for not only in western In
situations activity and development
along this line are indicated, but also, In
the courses of study In household arts
now given at Pratt Institute, Teachers
College and Simmons College, growing
interest In the subject Is equally marked
All this means q good deal. House
keeping has become q business, . calling,
in the pursuit of which intelligence and
training are called for. Education, In
the future, will be less theoretical and
more practical. 1t will consist in cult
waiting the natural activities Of the hu'
man being in ways that lead to natural
wholesome and noble living.
