possibilities to work: and industrial art Is the subject that offers the greatest opportunity for developing ina agination, initiative and perseverance.
 Dr. ClaXton. United States commits sioner of education made his first ad dress at this luncheon. He said that the prime aim of education is to teach the pupil to understand and to adapt himself to conditions about him and that industrial work may as easily be a means of developing culture are the classics. He said that in his life he had known an uncultured profes- sor of Greek. a Boerish professor of English, a cultured blacksmith and an intelligent farmer. He pointed out that the scientific farmer in order to car " out the principles of crop diver sifieation and crop rotation and to con duct all lines of modern farm work must be man of thorough and broad education
 Miss Reese Speaks
 Miss Reese of the Auburn extension department spoke encouragingly and with enthusiasm of the work of the to- mato and corn club girls and boys, commenting on the fact that after years of theory as to better farming 1t was now the club work among the children that was demonstrat ting the ways to more successful farming She
  boys and girls are doing for them selves and in the way of demonstrat- ing. The slogan of the tomato clubs this year, according to Miss Reese, is quality, not Quantity" No tomatoes are to be canned except "firsts." Those that would be classed as seconds and thirds. if canned, will be used for catsups and other purposes where color and size are not requisite.
 Miss Patterson, state president Of the recently organized association of teachers of domestic art, was intrc- duced and spoke briefly of the work of the teachers of these subjects.

OFFICIALS AFRAID ID TAKE
 DECISIVE ACTION Conference Over Jap De- mands Continues, But
 Nothing Definite Is
 Accomplished

Picking, April 3.-The conferences be- continued today. but nothing was accom- plished. The Chinese employed their usual tactics of avoiding the initiative and the Japanese took up all of the four-hour session with discussion of details of the south Manehuria immigration question. They did not commit themselves, how ever to acceptance of the Chinese offer to waive the question of Chinese jurisdic- ton over Japanese immigrants to south Manchuria, except in cases involving land ownership.
 The Chinese government has not re- ceived such official encouragement from any power as would warrant resistance to Japan, and has, therefore, conceded demand after demand. Foreigners in touch with the situation express the opin- ion that China must concede every point on which Japan insists.
 News from Manchuria and Shantung tells of aggressive action of Japanese troops in the garrisons there. For ex- ample, it is reported that several Chinese were put to death for stealing Japanese telegraph lines. The Chinese civilians offer no resistance and some of them have left their homes.
 Owing 10 measures taken by the gov ernment no serious anti-Japanese boy colts have been reported in any section nor has there been a repetition of the Shanghai disorders, which of themselves were unimportant. Representatives of several provinces who are in Shanghai have cabled the central government an imperative demand to know what prepa- raticns have been undertaken to prevent Japan from imposing Corea' 8 fate on China" There are no signs of military preparations.
 Many citizens, unaware of the armys incapacity advocate defiance of Japan. but the government officials apparently fear to take any decisive action.

Many Birmingham Men
 Studying Law by Mail

'"rhere are many railroad men. bank CTS and others engaged in practically all lines of commercial and industrial in Birmingham who are talk ing, or have taken, home course of law in the American Correspondence School of Law of Chicago with marked success. These as well as the hundreds of students and ex-students in Ala bama will recognize the big adver- tisement appearing in The Age-Herald exclusively today. And by the way, it is probable that no southern daily ever before carried so large an advertise ment of this sterling old school its advertising heretofore being confined to the hign class magazines.

Montgomery. April 3.--(Special 1.-The department of manual and industrial arts of the Educational association held it's meeting at a luncheon at Mays Rose Garden, the meeting being a departure from the usual order of proceedings. The guests of honor were the. speakers from other states who addressed the general sessions of the association, and included Dr. W. O. Thompson of the Ohio uni versity, Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, and Dr. John Lee Coulter of Peabody
 Dr. Thompson spoke of the fact that colleges and universities are now recog- nizing industrial work and are giving a certain amount of credit toward gradua- ton for work done in this department. He spoke of the change of attitude to- ward industrial work and said that many college graduates are now remaining to take such work as post graduates Dr. Thompson's daughter, after taking her A. k. degree, took B. s. degree in domes- tic work There is a demand said Dr Thompson, for specially trained men and the man who expects to meet competition must be specially trained.
 Men who capture the future,' he said,
 Will be the men who can adapt them selves to the changing conditions in arts and sciences, and manual training is do- ing much to develop this capacity in the boy. While it has not in every sense filled the expectation of the public mind in that it has not made of every boy a finished mechanic-it has fulfilled the ex- pectation of educators in that it is teach ing the elements of industrial arts and has created a demand for trade educa- ton
 Dr. Coulter Speaks
 Dr. Thompson was followed by Dr. John Lee Coulter of Pea body, who spoke con- cisely of the relation between vocational education and the rural school. He said in part:
 "The great task of man is to make a living, and the aim of education should be to develop in him the greatest de- gree of efficiency to this end. Our prob lem. as l see it, is to make use of the natural resources of a community to build up manhood and womanhood"
 Dr. Coulter emphasized the importance of connecting the work of the rural school with farm life and of centering the teach ing of all subjects around the child's life. The function of education, he added, is to put imagination and an appreciation of

AGE-HERALD'S WAR PICTURES AT THE
 JEFFERSON TODAY
Firing Line Depicted in Ac- ti0n-ImaginatiOn Dwarf ed by Stern Reality of
 Great Drama

Actual clashes in battle, scenes that in other days would have lived only in the tales of veterans and the memor- apilla of generals are projected be- fore the spectators in the moving pic- lures of the war which The Age-Herald will exhibit at the Jefferson theatre beginning this afternoon at 12:3o o'clock and continuing every day this week.
 The proceeds today will go Neighbor- hood House and the Day Nursery.
 Be it never so nimble, there are things that fancy cannot do. Endeavor to visualize the events chronicled to- day from Europe and the imagination IS imposed upon by various battle pie lures of famous artists and, instead of fixing on the truth, the minds eye is travelling the walls of an art gallery
 These films brought back from the firing line are competent, yeracious witnesses. through whose infailibIe eye the spectator may behold moving, living events, the truth inviolate
 With the combat still raging about soma or the scenes presented, these pictures are the most valuable commentaries on the news of today. Conflicts along the River Lys, the Germans battling for Ostend, and a hundred details which bear upon current happenings in the theatres of war are shown. But sequence of events presented in chronological order such as these are more than a news report, they are history
 Sombre and sordid as some aspects of war may be, the touch of lightness is not entirely absent. The children of these Belgian refugees, for instance, compel a smile. with their greediness at the relief stations in Holland. They have trudged many weary miles holding to mothers skirt but the sight of bowl of milk and bread restores an optimism that the capture of General Von Kluck could never have produced. Again, the dogs in Brus- sells wag their tails and yelp in excited welcome to the German army, all un- conscious of their treason

Nest on Sleeps Back.

An authentic story Of starling's
nest on Sleeps back comes from
Buckland Brewer, England. During
strengthening operations on Gourn-
wood farm, which is occupied by Mr.
Cox, one of the shearers cut into a
fieshy substance. and examination
showed that he had cut in half a
young startling. which was in a nest
that had been built in the Sleeps
wool. and which contained two other
nedglings still alive. The nest was
composed OF moss and twigs. For
some weeks previous the sheep, with
others, had the run OF three fields
near the farm.
