Veterans first"

This is the slogan that has been
adopted by the entertainment COM
mittee Of Birmingham, Alabama,
for the forthcoming reunion of the
Confederate Veterans to be held in
Birmingham May 16-17-18. The vet
Grams that barred their breasts to the
cannons' merciless fire during the late
unpleasantness will be cared for above
all other considerations. Everything
has been planned and all other propo-
sitions set aside in order that the Bir-
mingham reunion, which may be the
last ever held here, will go down in
history as one wherein everyone ex-
hibited the keenest interest and care
of the heroes of 1860-65.
The committees in charge of the re-
union have progressed admirably with
their work. Only the barest details
remain to be lined out to make the
birmingham gathering memorable in
the history of Confederate reunions
The hospitality of 1908, when Birming-
ham welcomed the Confederate hosts,
will be greatly excelled by the char
acter of the hospitality and the
warmth of greetings to be offered the
veterans in May.
Through the kindness of the govern
ment of the United States the commit
tee has secured the loan of over 5000
cots, which will be placed in the mag

nificent buildings at the state fair
grounds for the veterans who will ac-
cept the care and complete hospitality
of the City of Birmingham. The vet
Grams will be provided with every con-
venlence. A commissary in charge of
experts in the several necessary de-
partments will be maintained. The
camp grounds are accessible by
several car lines from the center of
the city. 1t is contemplated that the of
fetal camp grounds will be the
rendezvous for a majority of the vet
Grams visiting Birmingham.
That every detail looking to their
comfort and care will be exercised,
was indicated by Morris w Bush,
president of the Chamber of Commerce,
who announced that the COOL airy
buildings will be arranged so as to be
perfectly comfortable for the heroes
that are expected. The food will be
the best and every function exercised
to provide every necessity.
Aside from the magnificent care
which will be shOwered upon the vet
Grams at the camp grounds extensive
plans have been arranged for their en-
tertainment. The parade will be COM
posed of automobiles and automobile
trucks so that every veteran that cares
to may ride during the parade. This
will relieve the veterans, many Of
them feeble, of the cruel necessity OF
walking during the long parade.

AS TO MODERN EDUCATION.

Abraham Flexner's ideas regarding
the modern school and college are de-
cidedly revolutionary, says the Biz
mingham Age-Herald. AS the assist
ant secretary of the general educa'
ton board, founded by John D. Rookie
Teller, he proposes innovations that
would eliminate the classics and even
formal grammar.
The study of Latin and Greek an
cient history, according to his view,
should be abandoned, and the curricu
lrm of the future should be built "out
Of actual activities in science, indus
try, esthetics and civics." The student
Of today spends too much time, he
thinks, in acquiring an education. He
would have boys and girls so through
school in breathless haste and save two
or three years in time.
No educator of any standing under
values the Importance of science or
technical training. Never has the
practical side of education been as
much insisted upon as it is today But
the concensus of opinion among sue
Icessful educators will be on the side
of retaining the classics in prepara-
tory schools, as well as in the higher
institutions of learning.
There can be culture without a
knowledge of ancient lore, but for it
to reach it's fullest development the
facts of history must be known and
understood in their true relations to
each other. 1t would be impossible to
conceive broad culture that left out
romance and poetry, and study of
the humanities unquestionab1y quick
ems the finer feelings and exalts the
beautiful and the good in the hurly-
burly of life.
|. In the educational system of the
present time, great attention is paid to
ciyics, just as stress is laid upon
sociology and applied science. This is
as 1t should be, but there is such a
thing as OVERRIDING the practical. PEG.
pie are already growing weary of the
efficiency cult Let's have efficiency
but not at the expense of genuine
culture.
Some of the famous savants of the
last few years have been distinguish
ed for their classical attachments. The
late Lord Kelvin, the foremost electri

example of the man of science who
throughout long career of construc
tive engineering, remained. loyal to
the classics. For quarter of a cen
fury or more Germany has led the
world in education as well as in tech
biological proficiency, and no youth
gets through the gymnasium, which
corresponds to the average college of
English speaking countries, without a
stiff course in Latin, with a little
Greek thrown in for good measure;
this in addition to courses in French
and English.
DR.. Flexner doubtless means well
but his radical notions should make
little appeal in the realm of culture
and progress. -BrunSWick News

Senate Passes Road Bill.

The Senate passed Monday without
a record vote the Bankhead Good
Roads bill to spend $4,000, 900 in the
construction of post roads, contingent
on an equal expenditure by the states.
Appropriation for S10,000.000 for roads
in national forests is included
A fight led by Senator Smoot, Of
Utah, to extend the credit of the
United States to the states for con-
struction of roads by them was lost.
The bill appropriates $4,000, 900 for
the year ending June 80, 1917, with in
creasing appropriations until 1921,
when the entire amount is to. have been
spent. The money is to be apportioned
by the Secretary of Agriculture on a
basis of one-third in the ratio of the area
to which the state bears to the total area
of the country, one-third in the ratio
of the population and one-third in the
ratio which the mileage or rural delivery
routes bear to the total mileages in the
country.
The measure is substitute for the
Shackleford bill, which passed the
House, providing that not more than
SIS, 100000 should be appropriated an
nually by the Federal Government.

Hicks For May.

For the ''merrie month of MAY
Prophet Hicks has doped out some
wierd and curious weather.
A reactionarY storm period is cen
trail on the 5th, 9th and 7th, saith the
prophet. "Clouds of peculiar
form, appearing first in the form of
blush, leaden strata along the western
horizon, rising thence, topped with
mountain-like, cumulous thunder heads.
out of which rain and wind are to be
expected"
A regular STORM period is central on
the 18th, covering the 10th to the 18th
with probable danger of frosts. A re-
dictionary storm period is central on the
18th, 18th, 18th and Goth, bringing a
tendency to stubborn cIoudiness and
drizzling rain and followed by change
to much cooler. The second regular
storm period of the month is central on
the oath. Mercury and the moon, will
combine to make it hot for US at this
time, and our days and nights will no
longer be spent in work, play and sleep;
they will be fully occupied in lodging
the terrific electrical storms which the
prophet says will cross our pathway at
this time.

Preparedness is in the air, but
though it may refer primarily to
military preparedness it may be
as well to remember that it is
something that should be carried
out in many other matters. For
instance. it is something that
everybody should follow in the
matter of saving up for the pro-
verbal rainy day. The country
is rich and times are prosperous
but experience teaches that good
times are always followed by
hard times. ,ua, en- comes the
pinch. z 80 lsands, in times
when work is plentiful and wag-
es high spend every cent of their
money as soon as it is earned,
with the result that when de-
pressed times come they find
these spendthrifts entirely I'M
prepared. That means privation
and suffering which would have
been entirely prevented if econo-
my had been exercised in pros
porous days. The moral is, be-
gin now to be prepared for pros
pective hard times. Whether
hard times come or not it is a
wise thing to cultivate more of
the simple life. No real joys are
missed by so doing and, in fact,
life is made all the sweeter.

IT MAY BE OUR WORK.

The sentiment is growing that
the United States must eventual
" take action in Mexico amount
ing to il tervention. Every fair
minded rerson must agree that
the Chief Executive OF this
nation is right in going to any
honorable length to avoid a
course which means the shedding
of the blood of many of our sons,
but they must know that the
homo of thi, nation and the de-
mand of huns nifty are both dear
to him. .-,a that when the point
is reached where it is necessary
to act in lie name OF these, ne
will not hesitate.
It is pc, fectly clear that the
line which separates US from
definite action in Maxico IS a
small one. Thousands OF our
thoughtful people feel that con-
ditions are such that there is no
possibility of avoiding interVen-
ton. Already Disguised with
the utter lack Of a sense OF tar
ness and gratitude on the part
of the leaders of the Mexican
people, recent events on the
border, including the killing OF
American men, women and chill
dren. have so incensed a vast
number of our people that they
are already to support the Presl-
dent and Congress in any step
that they may direct. -Adver-
