Arousing Interest In Education

State Superintendent of Education w. F. Feagin is conducting vigor- ous campaign for the improvement ot school conditions in Alabama and he is receiving cordial cooperation from county teachers associations and edu- cators in general.
 That was a stirring address which Superintendent Feagin delivered In Birmingham Saturday before the Jef- ferson County Teachers association. The greater part of it was published in Sundays Age-Herald, and anyone | interested in education who failed to read it yesterday should procure copy of the paper and read and pom der it today.
 MT. Feagin presents statistics of Alabama's illiteracy with which edu- cators are familiar, but the facts can not be set forth too often, for the general public has up to a recent time given little serious consideration to the appalling number of adults in this state who can neither write nor read. In his address Superintendent Feagin told of visits to rural schools and de- scribed the poor schoolhouses and the poor equipment which he found. He told, too, of a weeful lack of interest on the part of some of the farmers in the school question.
 When the people of each school dis trict have right to tax themselves for school purposes then conditions will improve at once, but the school tax amendment will not be submitted to the people for ratification until November, 1916. In the meantime an effort will be made to have better rural school facilities, even if private subscriptions have to be taken up.
 There is no danger of the amend ment proposition falling to carry at Ithe polls, but the educational campaign now in progress should arouse the people throughout the state to high lpitch, so that when the law becomes effective every county and every dis trict will readily vote the special tax three mills for the county and three additional mills for such school dis tricts as desire high-class schools.

The Pocket" Wireless

When wireless telegraphy was per fected persons of humorous bent looked forward to the time when every man would have his own pocket wire less outfit and could keep himself in formed of variety of matters which now escape his attention. That their whimsical notion was not greatly ex- aggerated is proved by the successful test made of an eight-pound wireless device invented by Dr. Otto F. Rein hold of Newark, N. J.
 This little instrument, connected with the antennae of wireless sta ton on Bedloes island, New York, sent a message which was received at Fort Hancock, 21 miles distant. Mes sages which could be distinctly re- ceived were sent 300 feet without an tennae. A military man who witnessed the trial said the instrument could be used without antennae to send mes sages a distance of 1000 feet, which would make it extremely valuable in the modern form of trench warfare. Dr. Reinhold has not disclosed the secret of his invention. The case in closing the mechanism is five by eight by fourteen inches, making it easy to carry. It is claimed that the device can be operated with the cleo tricity from an automobile battery.
 Dr. Reinhold has also perfected a receiving device the same size as his sending apparatus. He claims his in- strument will send messages 300 miles and may De used with either a direct or an alternating current. For sending messages a longer distance antennae could be strung from bal looms.
 Although device of this sort would perhaps prove of more immediate value in war, in course of time il

That Copper-C Colored Waiter

So they are going to have girl wait CTS on the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroads dinning cars-at least that is the news ticked off by telegraph out of Cleveland.
 This means, of course, that when we travel Wheeling way we shall miss our old friend the copper-colored Senegambian, who smirks and smiles and dances attendance upon us when we tip him, and who frowns and spills lukewarm, canned soup upon us when we don't tip him.
 He's an ambidextrous, versatile, many sided cuss, is this copper-col- ored necessary evil--that is, he was considered a requisite of dining car accommodation until the Wheeling and Lake Erie road "innovated" by bringing girls into the service. The experiment will be watched with in- terest throughout the country, and it is possible that the idea may be adopted by other roads.
 In many respects the change may be an Improvement, but nevertheless the old time, nky-headed, tip-crav- ing, dusky waiter is an interesting character whose absence will cause a pronounced vacancy in the pro- gramme of travel.
 He can be the meanest darkey in the world if occasion demands. On the other hand, if his itching palm has been scratched by silver, no oth- CT creature in the world can turn loose greater flood of urbanity.
 Whether he chooses to be very polite or whether he chooses to be very surly-it makes no difference which, he is equiponderant in either role.

THE SWORD OR THE PEN

From the Baltimore News.
 TIT would be a revelation beyond seri-
 ous doubt if the world could know to - what extent, now and for many weeks past, diplomacy has been conduct ing the most important operations of the war. The censors have allowed little news to filter out to the public concerning the military operations. To the extent that these facts have been reported, the informal ton may be set down as reason ably accurate Long experience now has enab abled expert students of the different general staff methods of announcing mix itary results, to piece together the data from Paris, Berlin and London, and make a fair guess as to what has been happen
 ing.
 But the censors have not had to deal much with the diplomatic exchanges that have been going on, 1t might be said
 behind the screen of military opera tions The war, it becomes evident, is
 going to last a long time if it is to be fought out with the present alignment, and with both sides willing to fight to the bitter end, making the sacrifices neces- sary to that purpose. A war of attrition, such as was glibly talked and written
 about in the early months, before the meaning of twentieth century war was
 understood or admitted by even the gen. eral staffs-say nothing of the publicists is proving so slow, expensive and fear fully destructive of life, that there can not but be dread in every cabinet of pressing national sentiment to the point of acquiescence in all it's horrors.
 The alternative to this is to play the game out on the diplomatic chessboard; to line up the powers on one side in such overwhelming and convincing array that the other will be forced to realize the hopelessness of the contest. Thus far there has been no great advantage to either side from this effort. Germany.

NATURES CURIOSITIES

i, if he the roar of thunder or of cannonf in battle, or that of the most melodious notes of musical instruments, depends en- tirely on the rapidity of atmospheric vi- bra lions. These beat upon the tympani of the ears, almost as sensitive to impress sions as the retina or the eyes to light. Vibrations reach this marvellous mem- brane through tubes traced and charted by Bartolommeo Eustachio, more than 4oo years ago and are to this day known py the name of custodian tubes. Through these tubes also air is admitted from the throat and nostrils and thus the pressure on both sides of the tympani is equallzed Beyond the tympani and these tubes IS maze of delicate bone and cartilage and fluids which are we'll called a labyrinth, and from this grosser creation the sound waves are conveyed to a network of the finest of nerves and thence to the audi tory center of the train. Without this brain impression there would be no sense of sound and that one of the grand five senses would be missing and four only left.
 Deprivation of sight has been said to be the most distressing or calamities to the sensitory being. Next to that has been classed deprivation of hearing. Both may result from accident or disease of grosser parts of the physical creature. In cight and hearing repose the finest of acquisi- tions since the condition of protoplasm. Is the verdict of scientists who, with all their splendid work, daylight agonies and nocturnal lucubrations leave so much to be known. and tell 50 much that the earlier scientist did not know.
 These meager articles. necessarily linn ited by limitations of space are merely suggestions to those who may like to know things as far as things can be known, to take up the larger phases of all that is called terrestrial and celestial that may be found in books treating of each topic. Those inferior senses of smell ing and tasting. SO closely and curiously related, will be mentioned in another note under this head, and then will come the greatest. consideration of all, the nerve system without which none of these so- called senses would have cognition.

Bryant, Frances E. Willard, Roger Williams, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, W. T. Sherman, Phillips Brooks and others. Grover Cleveland has not been dead 10 years, but it may be assumed that in 1920 his name will be one of the five.
 Among those who are conspicuous by their absence is the name of Mat thew Fontaine Maury of Virginia, na- val officer and photographer. He told us more about the gulf stream than anyone who has yet lived and his "Phy sical Geography of the Sea and Its Meteorology," published in 1855, is still standard textbook. In the name of justice Maury should be inscribed as one of the immortals.
 At this years election the name of George Gordon Meade, one of the greatest of American generals, and the hero of Gettysburg, will probably be placed in nomination The rules of the Hall of Fame provide that only Americans shall be considered. Meade was born in Spain of American par ents and was therefore an Ameri- can. According to some military crit ics he was the abiest general on the northern side during the war.
 The name of Sidney Lanier, who as a poet ranks close after Poe, should be in the Hall of Fame. The board of electors invite suggestions and nom- ination from the public. Anyone hav- ing a name to propose can forward 1t by mail, the only address necessary being University Heights, New York citV

Fifth Avenue Presbyterians

We have excellent gatherings at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Sunday school" remarked J. O. Taylor.
 The different classes have large en- rollment, and the attendance Is re- markedly good during the warmer months. There is, of course, a natu- ra1 tendency among some of the pupils to relax somewhat during the good old summer time but the teachers and en- thusiastic Sunday school students are working strenuously in behalf of their classes, and no opportunity Is lost to arouse the interest of those disposed to lag. These efforts I understand, are meeting with success. There is pie nic each summer which gives every tody a good time and at the same time serves to stimulate interest and en- liven things.
 My own class, the Presbyterian clan, as it Is called, has a good at- tendance, and is composed altogether of men and boys, and we have jolly gathering each Sunday. Class socials are held at intervals by way of enter tainment, and in this manner greater impetus is given to the work
