The B~rookings city schools have
made a marvellous growth in the past
ter years. In 1906 the high school
course was changed from a two-year
course TO four years and since that
time the school has been placed on the
accredited list with the North Central
Association of Colleges and Secondary
schools and two years ago was recog-
nized by the National Council of Col
leges and Universities and became
affiliated with the University of Chi
cago, and graduates and teachers of
the high school given the benefits
offered affiliated schools. The enroll
ment has increased from 479 to almost
1000 as the total number enrolled
Monday morning was 983 The high
school has increased from 127 in 1907
to 224. The manual training depart
ment which was inaugurated & years
ago with % boys enrolled now has an
enrolment Of 81 boys and the domestic
science department was in~augurated
four years ago with an enrolment Of
II girls, now has an enrolment of 80
girls. The junior high school was or
ganized four years ago with an enroll
ment of sc. The enrolment in this
department Monday morning was 1876.
In 1906 there were IA teachers en-
ployed in the school including the SUI
per%intendent. This year there are SO
teachers including the superintendent.
The school was all housed in the II
rooms in the central building in 1906,
the year the grade building Of II
rooms, including the basement, was
erected which are now all utilized for
school purposes. This year it was
found necessary to provide additional
room to care for the increased enroll
ment and the Baptist church was re-
arranged and is being used for the
junior high school. With these pro-
visions there are now 20 school rooms,
not including the library room, being
used for school purposes and all are
crowded to capacity.
Space forbids to recapitulate the
changes made in the course of study
but suffice it to say that the course
has been ~broadened and extended to
meet the present day educational ideas
and requirements until today the

RUSH MOORE MADE ]. SALES MANAGER OF DETROIT MOTOR CO.
Popular Automobile Man Climbs the Ladder of Business Success An
 other Rung

Rush Moore, formerly connected With ! the Overland Birmingham company,
 has severed his connection with that company to accept the sales manage . ment of the Detroit Motor company. There are few automobile men in
 Birmingham who are better known ] than MT Moore His association with ! the Overland Birmingham company for
 more than a year demonstrated the
 fact he was a salesman of marked
 ability. His magnetic personality com bined with his ever ready accommoda- tion soon made him friends in Bir-
 mingham by the score.
 As an automobile salesman MT. Moore
 has few equals. As a mixer and one
 who can get out among the people and sell automobiles there are few his
 equal. He was the recipient of many congratulations yesterday when the
 automobile men of the city learned of his promotion. He is enthusiastic over | the outlook for business with his new concern. In speaking of business in general and his promotion he said: T have long been an ardent ad- mirer of the Paige, Grant and Patter-
 son cars 1 have wanted to sell them. Therefore, when I was offered an op-
 portunity to take charge as sales man. ager l was delighted. I am confident that these cars will continue in popu- larity until they are in the hands of
 a great many owners. My faith in the product which I shall sell leads me to believe this will be a big year for the Detroit Motor company. The service of
 this concern has always been excellent. ] shall bend every effort to make it even better"

not spend a scent piece for extras. All that should go with a car is complete and the price, $625, is reasonable. The electric starting and lighting system is the kind that has been tested and tried out by our engineers for num- Der of years There is no such thing with the Briscoe people as experiment. ing with the public's money. We have one of the best equipped laboratories that can be found anywhere. All the expert menting is done there-before the car is placed on the market. If the Briscoe company thinks article is good enough to be adopted for it's models, they adopt it.
 The mere fact that an automobile .concern has a car that offers the most for the money does not mean that they have completed their cantract when they put such car in the hands of an owner. Service is one of the most abused words in the English language today. You see service advertised every : where although few dealers give it, The Flint Motor Car company does not consider the mere selling of car enough. We take care of it. That, in a I, 1,utshell, is the reason for the Flint Motor Car company selling so many of these Briscoes."

Quaker Tire Reduction

The Thornton Tire companys announce ment of 35 per cent reduction in Quaker tires, which are guaranteed for 5000 miles, will give every tire user in Birmingham the opportunity of trying out this tire of excellent reputation.
 J. P. Clary, manager of the Thornton Tire company, in order to introduce his product to the Birmingham automobile owners in a show me- manner, he de- cided to make this big reduction in the standard price of Quaker tires for a limited time.
 "These prices will not prevail for long, said MT. Clary. Tt, therefore, behooyes each tire user in Birmingham who wants to save some money in tire mileage anc at the same time get acquainted witt one of the best rubber products on the market to buy now.'

 c. P. Hammond, manager of the Flint Motor Car company. distributors of the Briscoe, is probably one of the most capable and competent automobile men in the south. During the past week, Mir. Hammond has placed more than 115 automobiles of the Briscoe make in the hands of Alabama dealers.
 In Birmingham alone more than a score of these cars have been sold and delivered during the past 30 days MT. Hammond very naturally, thinks the Briscoe is one of the best values on the American market today. T am free to confess l am one of the greatest be- iievers in the Briscoe today" said MT. Hammond. Nevertheless I have reason to be partial to this little car called the Briscoe. I am especially enthusi- astic over the Briscoe twenty-four. This car is complete in every detail. It's large four cylinder motor of French design is built of the finest materials obtainable. It is built first with an eye to power and economy, then beau- ty and luxury.

Locating Punctures
 in the Inner Tubing

* MT Kylce of Birmingham Motor com pany, local selling agent for the Michelin | Tire company, says that nearly every l:motorist has experienced the eXasperat- Aing task of locating small punctures in
 tinner tubes. The following suggestions
 may serve to tighten his trouble when he snext meets with such a mishap. In the first place the tube should be examined carefully to determine if the Fpuncture is large enough to be seen. If Enot immediately visible the perforation
 may be very small, no larger than a needle point, and in this case it is much harder to locate.
 a Inflate the tube slightly and hold it Snear the ground Very often if the road is dry the puncture may be detected by
 the disturbance of the dust made by the escaping air.

died at the Mcleod infrmary, Flor

health for months and was operated
upon at that infirmary July 25. He
stood the operation well, and when
his uncle, Mr. ] F McFaddin, of this
town, visited him Sunday, he seemed
to be improving satisfactorily, but a
sudden relapse proved fatal.
Mr. McFaddin was AZ years of
age. He is survived by a widow,
who was daughter of Mr. Thomas
Burgess of Mouzon, and six children.
Funeral services were held at 10
a. m. yesterday and interment made
in the old Burgess burying ground,

course of relatives and friends paid
their last tribute to the memory of
this good man and true.
1t is remarkable coincidence that
Mr. McFaddin and Mr. P M Young
were operated upon at the same in
firmary the same day for the same
complaint, and both succumbed to
relapse.
