 Bookkeeping and Penmanship
 Lessons in penmanship must receive special notice. Most boys and girls when they leave school write very poor hands. It is true the typewriter has taken much of the burden of lonchand ''riting from us, but often a good po- slticn may be secured if the party writes good, legible hand
 Methods of administration instruc- ton and supervision are almost en- tirely pedagogical, appealing especial ly tc the rural teacher it shows com pletcness of thought and continuity.
 Dr. McLester, medical inspector If the public schools, will deliver lec- lures on The Health of the Child.''
 A story hour will be conducted l1t- der Miss Wilson, superintendent of kim dergartens.
 The social feature of the summer training school is the lunch hour. A N wholesome lunch is to be served by the School Improvement association, and the get-together-for-m mutual good spirit Is everywhere.
 The large number of community in- tcrests offered in this summer train ing school, it's many outposts from the regular highway of knowledge, are in novations in school work The exact idea of this work is not duplicated in any other school of similar nature and deserves the hearty support of the community.

 Miss Wilson has only lived in Ala hama nine years. She was born ln Pittsburg Her father, Mr. A. K. Will son, was a Canadian and her mother was raised in Boston.

 She was very generous in not claim ing her share of the inherited beauty, though Miss Wilson is a very pretty woman today and very graceful hostess and has a very beautiful daughter very much like herse1f-Miss Roberta. They are all enthusiastic over the south, in fact, came to Alabama because they liked the people and the southland and feel a genuine interest in the home of their adoption.
 Miss Lois was tender plant when she came here and ripened under the southern sun amid the environments of her people Alabama welcomes such cit izenshfp.
 I remember once to have heard political speech between two aspir- snts for state office representation III the state senate. The one was born in another state but was brought an infant to the county and he pro- claimed his early citizenship should in- sure him election. The other grew to be old enough to choose his home and he sought that county. So he reasoned that the first speaker was brought 10 Alabama crying babe on his moth er's knee, probably kicking all the way. He had come after he was man because he liked the people and the country and he was entitled to the first place as a consequence. Thus 1t is with Miss Wilson.

MANY COMMUNITY INTEREST COURSES IN
 BIRMINGHAM SUMMER TRAINING SCHOOL
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
 By MRS. SIDNEY N. ULLMAN

A visit to the Birmingham public library will show some finished product of tha fine work done under the able direction of the manual training teacher, MT. H. B. Graves
 Although the time for the planting of gardens is about over the course under MT. Weathersbee is of interest and value. Experimental work, fer ;ilization and laboratory work edu- cates by doing. The Powell school gar den Is to be visited as an example of aA model school garden. Such topics as the control of insect enemies and plant diseases, plans for continuous sup ply of vegetables throughout the year, Tall and winter gardens, ornamental plants and shrubs for home decoration, etc, should be of untold value to the farmer the truck gardner, and the florist. The old hit-and- miss method is not by any means the best way; even the backyard garden should be attend ed to properly.
 General Course in Music
 Under the head of music the general course Is most appealing, especially the orchestral department under MT. Mem oli. The Music Study club already SO interested in public school work should lend their efforts to furthering and supporting such excellent tuition in the study of music. k
 Household Decoration
 Under drawing has been considered arts and crafts. Here We find basketry making of suitable designs fer hand york. book binding, etc. Under bas- lSetyry is introduced the new art of using Albama pine needles for weav- ing. A pleasant sentiment is in the thought that we can weave into a use ful article the odor and beauty of the long leaf forest master from the Ala bama woods
 Folk Dances and Athletics
 Two courses are offered under phys ical training. The one of athletics. the ether folk dances and swimming. Phys ical training is of the utmost import ance to the wellbeing of the teacher. Directed physical culture attains To grace as well as health
 Charlotte Perkins Gilman says "If any community is so arid as to be un- sble to add a swimming pool to it's schoolhouses then there should be an- nual pilgrimages of children to some place where there is water and where every child not only may but must learn to swim
 We seldom think of the importance of this training until some awful catas- trophe overcomes us. Then we realize the neglect of a duty the lack of in- struction in this line has occasioned

 Ever since Miss Lois Wilson has been selected as the Alabama beauty, I have been awaiting an opportunity to know her not to gaze at her features and for idle curiosity all what her beauH con- sisted in, whether it was her nose her eyes, her mouth, but whether so many men, especially the bachelors. were cap able of sizing up real woman. a crea- tion of beauty in fact as we'll as face.
 l surprised her at her desk, busy at her office duties, and at once was inn pressed with her natural courtesy her good business politeness. She fills an i'm portant position in the clerical offices of Goodall, Brown & Co.,, where she is em- ployed in the bookkeeping department which position she has held during the four years of her business career.
 She did not expect me. or know my errand. she only knew I was at her place of business and had been introduced by a friend. She did not know but what I had bought stock of goods and she was to serve me in business capacity-so she was perfectly natural in her everyday duties and clothes.
 soon told her. and seemed to amuse her, that had not called to gaze at her beauty, but to know the girl. I wanted 10 see just what kind of judges Ala hama had, which kind of a girl she was, at head and heart. in other words to judge for myself.
 Of course her position is rather embar- rn Scin ba ha hu har state, and selected from among many very beautiful girls. as the prettiest of them all, to represent the type of Ala bama beauty, and it is very reasonable that everybody is eager to see her. prob- ably to shake her hand, and 1 am sure she has made new friend at each meet ing
 She is a very natural and charming young woman. I probably had more gen. eral curiosity than anybody else, Il was little more persistent-h my visit to her office and her home
 At the office l asked her if she had any plans for the future, except the pleasant trip.
 "None whatever" she said q shall re- turn to my duties. I feel sure. l am leaving each day to take care of itself. This is all sudden and so pleasant | Everybody has been so cordial and so kind to me that I hardly can express to you my appreciation of this wonderful opportunity to meet more people and to have such a lovely trip. I have always wanted to take such a trip but hardly could have dreamed of such as this" Miss Wilson is a good business woman She is interested in her work and her co-worlSers, and loves her duties, and she said, Isn't it grand that young wom- en can fill positions in the business world and feel so independent, as to earn sal ary to help things along? This is a pe- riod of opportunity for all
 At her home we found her at her best She has had little time to attend to do- mestlc duties though she is competent to

l The desire to make the summer training school interesting not only to tue teacher, l but to the community, is shown in the announcement of the Birmingham sum mer training school to be opened July ' | at the Central High school. Many of these courses should be taken advantage of by individuals outside of the teach ing profession. Several hours each day are devoted to topics for those desirous of equipping themselves with more ef- ficient methods, along specific lines of work The field covered Is large and in- teresting, touching almost every phass from nome economies" to the commercial branches and penmanship.
 The matriculation fee covering the entire course or any specific branch Is only s5, entirely within the possibility of one of the most limited means The management of the summer train ing school is entrusted to a special com mittee appointed by the board of educa- ton, of which Prof C. B. Glenn is chair man.
 The first course on the programme, and enc which should appeal to most women and girls. is that in home economies. Its common sense value and practical end Is the best reason for consideration. espe- cially group three, under Household Ad- iainistration," and especially designed to interest houseleepers. The following topics will give some idea of the wide scope this work covers:
 1. Planning and furnishing of the home.
 ?. Consideration of modern convent ences and labor saving devices In the kitchen.
 l. Systematizing the household duties.
 4. Business-lize methods of shopping and marketing.
 5. Making the family budget or appor- tioning the family income.
 g. Keeping the household accounts.
 Each of these headings is significant and important. With proper understand ing of the management of household economies the home-maker becomes business partner in the home government.
 In Elsie DeWolfe's interesting book called ''The Home In Good Taste she opens with this paragraph, so pertinent to our subject: T know of nothing more significant than the awakening of men and women throughout our country to the desire to improve their houses. Cah it what you will, awakening, develop. ment. American renaissance. 1t is a mos; startling and promising condition of af. fairs.

The pamphlet states: This course will be of special in- terest to those who wish to make furni- ture for the home and will include furni- ture design, construction and finish A study will be made of the different woods, making out of bill of material and of the different methods of standing and finish ing
