WHAT OTHERS THINK
 OF ALABAMA SYSTEM IF GUARDING HEALTH
Worst of Any State in the Union, Says Dr. Winslow. Bad, Says Cornell
 University

That AlabAma's system of conserv- ing the health of the public is not only ineffective but dangerous is the opinion of many eminent physicians and surgeons of other states.
 w. B. Palmer of Furman has issued pamphlet in which he reproduces the eritl- cism of several of those eminent special ists who have studied the systems of the states. The author of the pamphlet is not ''whole-souled' supporter of the Gorgas bill, but is certainly antagonistic to the alleged machine rule of the medical counsellors in Alabama. Had he his way he would take the health department out of the hands ofthe medical association. his argument being that the people should control through direct vote
 Dr. Palmers pamphlet is of especial significance at this juncture because of its quotations from written opinions of Ala bama's system, opinions of several of the foremost students of medicine in America. He quotes .Dr. A. E. Wjnsow of New York: T think the Alabama system, at least on paper, quite the worst that ex- ists in any state of the union. It is a grave question to whether or not that
 
 unsoentifc and ineffective
 He quotes the medical authorities of Cor nell university: "Alabamas system is cot a good one."
 He quotes Dr. Charles V. Chapin of Providence, who for the American Med- ieal association has just canvassed the health systems of every state In the union: Alabama has not accomplished so much as other southern states, and on general principles Alabama's system is dangerous and ineffective"
 The system which prevails in Alabama is one in which 100 counsellors elected for life. and not representative of the people, absolutely control The members of the college of counselors alone have unre- strcted right of suffrage, and alone can hold office. Under the Alabama plan the election of the health officer is restricted to the members of the college of coun- sellors, Rather than a system In which the health officer must come from a body of 100 men, the Gorgas bill would permit the election of the most expert and avail able sanitarian in the world The Gorgas bill, furthermore, would give the dele gates in convention Representing the 200O members of the Medical association of the state of Alabama, the right of expressing themselves in matters appertaining to the health of the people of the state.

Yarbrough of Opelika, chair- man of the public health committee of the legislature, conferred in Birmingham yesterday with the members of the legis- lative committee of the Jefferson County Medical society. Dr. Yarbrough is one of the leaders in the statewide effort to overthrow the dynasty of .counsellors and put the question of the peoples health more nearly in the hands of the people.

A Letter Telling of the Teachers
 Summer Course at TuSReSee
By MRS. J. B. REID

"Tuskegee Institute, June 2S, 19lo. My Dear Mrs. Reid:
 You are surprised. am sure, to hear from me. However, I am here at TusAe- gee, taking the teachers course as offered in the summer school.
 This is a very interesting place, and every one of the teachers seem so con genial and enthusiastic that I am sure great good will result from the meeting.
 There are 416 teachers. representing 16 states. Alabapa is well represented. Bir- from any one city, as she does in every thing else.
 Tuskegee is carrying out Its usual plan, even though the summer school is made up entirely of teachers. The instructors breakfa at o'clock, the other teachers at 6:15 Our classes begin promptly at o'clock, and you would be delighted to see how eagerly the teachers rush to pre- vent tardiness We are under as strict rules as the student body. ~
 From to 105o the classroom work is in full swing at Il we go to the assembly room to a lecture.
 Really, the lectures alone are worth the trip to Tuskegee.
 Notably among those who have come to us are Prof. N NE. Tidwell, Dr. J. H. Phillips, Professor Hobdy and MT. W. K. Tate of Peabody normal school of Nash 'ville
 There are 500 students who are remain ing here during the summer. They are working in the different department in or der that they might be able to continue their studies another year. have vis,,eq the various buildings where they are at work and l am sure have never seen such thoroughness. such close applica- ton to duty. The beauty of 1t all is the happy, cheerful spirit which seems to pervade the whole place. The students who are being trained here under such splendid instructors cannot fall to take their places very creditably and accepta- By in the world.
 Mr. Washington's creed is emphasized on every occasion-that is. to "do the common things uncommonly we'll"
 Courses are being offered in domestic science. basketry, drawing, music, sew ing, manual arts. physical trarrlng and the teachers professional course. For recreation we have tennis. volley ball and swimming We have band cop| cert every Sunday afternoon from 6:30 { 7:oo There are always between ZOO a5

Wake Up

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Is it not about time that you wake up Alabama and the south, for they are evi- dently asleep. and they do not see the approaching danger with the new cotton crop of 1915.
 The 1914 crop has not been fully sold yet and whatever has been sold has been sold at a great loss and sacrifice. l estimate the loss to the state of Alabama, conservatively, to be from slo o0,o00 to s16,- 000,0o0. and to the south anywhere from $100, coo, 900 to $50, GOO 900.
 The same amount will be lost this year if the people do not wake up and take steps, and with the help of MT. Under wood and his associates insist upon the President to demand of England to stop seizing cotton cargoes and stop interfering with the shipment of cotton to neutral ports and from our ports.
 Don't you see the south is being bled to death" and England is making back out of the south, by the low price of cotton, every dollar she is paying to the north ern manufacturers for her war supplies In other words. if she can continue to in- terfere with the legitimate shipments and sales of cotton and by that means re- duces the value of the cotton, her coun- trys spinners make enough and more by the unfair depreciation in the value of the cotton to pay for the war supplies that she buys from American manufacturers.
 Therefore. MT. Editor, 1t is up to you, the press of the south and to the legisla- tors, both in the Senate and House, to demand of our President to take such steps as may be necessary in order to pro- tect the south In its legitimate sale and transportation of cotton. If not, the south in another year from now will have been impoverished to such an extent that 1t will take years and years for her to re- cover.
 Therefore, l say to you, wake up the people so they may see their danger be- fore the new crop is being gathered and marketed. Very truly yours.

5000 people on the lawns, and there is per feet order,i not semblance of authority. Everyone seems thoroughly inbued with the Tuskegee spirit.
 We motored yesterday down to the Ala bama Reform School for Juvenile Negro Lawbreakers. located at Mount Meigs There we found 165 negro boys, 50 of whom came from Birmingham. We were very much impressed with everything We saw. You remember how earnestly the negro club women of Birmingham have worked to establish and maintain this school. Re- gently the state has taken charge. Still, we found much that We can and must do for these boys, who must some day come back to the cities and add to the useful or criminal class their share of good or evil. The superintendent is Tuskegee graduate, and we could see long before we drove up to the building that the Tus- kegee spirit reached even to the reforma- tory, a distance of 27 miles from the in- stitute. Beautiful flower beds and shrub bery added to the beauty of the grounds. feel safe in saying that with the en- thusiasm and earnestness which the sum- mer school teachers manifest In the work here that Alabama will not long remain at the bottom of the ladder in illiteracy.

 The growth of the community work among the negro women of this state has been noted with great interest. Through the medium of their clubs they have accomplished splendid work among their members and stimulated greater efforts through their women over the state. The Federation of Negro Womens club have done splendid work for the Old Folks Home, near Graymont, this city. and the reform school at Mount Meigs. There has been for sometime a mortgage on the Old Folks Home which has been assumed by the clubs and not only the interest paid yearly by them. but part of the original debt.

tfon When the illteracy campaign was ting ready to help their race. We have kept in touch with their work through visits to their schools, their churches and their clubs-and sometimes to their homes.
 There lives in Birmingham today many families of negroes who have been our family friends always, and as we go to their homes we find pictures of "the old white folks hung conspicuously on their walls. These remind us that the true type of negro stands by his white friends today, and the white value that respect and that friendship as a token of justice one to the other. Wherever we can help each other we are only ere ating a better world. and that is what progress is working for today
 The negro is striving to make his share of it better like the rest of us. Their homes have peculiar advantage, and they are availing themselves of the priv ilege As they serve in the homes of the white people they catch the phase of life that teaches home making they have the opportunity to study home arrangement, housekeeping economy and good cook ing, and the ambitious class is taking these lessons home with them, and are making themselves more comfortable, moro cleanly and more healthy, thus bet ter citizens.
