MANY ACTIVITIES
AT THE SEMINARY
Student Activities Occupy
First Place at Local
Girls School
Nv EsTELLE BROWN

In addition to the usual work at the
Louie Compton seminary. new classes
in different departments have been or
ganized this year. For the first time a
class in Spanish is being taught by Miss
Southall There are also two new tech
meal classes in music under Mrs. Merson,
the efficient teacher of piano and violin
who has been added to the faculty. Miss
Jones has also reorganized her outdoor
sketch class for work after school or on
Saturday. All of these classes are of
great interest to the students.
Student activities occupy first place at
the seminary, but there is abundant OPP
portunity for athletics. The tennis
court is in excellent condition. It
has recently been filled and rolled until
clubs are being formed for playing every
afternoon. The basketball teams, too, are
having frequent games. The varsity
team was selected Friday afternoon. with
the following members:
Beatrice Saylors, captain; forwards,
Maria McAdory, Mary Rogers and Willie
Mae Tanner; guards, Lena Dorricott,
Harriet Tutwiler; center, Beatric Say
lors. The team is planning several very
interesting match games within the next
few weeks.
Mrs. Southall, who has been chaperon
at the seminary for a number of years,
is going to leave soon on account of ill
health, for Arkansas, where she viii
spend the winter with relatives. She has
been associated with the school in various
capacities almost from it's beginning and
everybody regrets deeply the necessity
for her leaving. Mrs. Eli Morris of Nash
Vile has come to assume Mrs Southallf )
duties.

FACULTY MEMBER
GOES TO RUSSIA
Birmingham College Man to
Work Among Prisoners
in Russia
BY b. L. SHI

The chief event of interest at Birming
ham college during the week was the
departure of Professor Nelson for his new
field of labor in Russia. Professor Mel
son said farewell to the students in
chapel in a short speech, in which he
spoke of the nature of his new work and
of his great regret in leaving Birmins-
ham college. Professor and Mrs. Nelson
will sail from New York for Copenhagen
October IS and from there will proceed
to Petrograd for work among the pris-
oners of war in Russia.
Prof O. E. Mcknight has been selected
to fill the chair of history and education
made vacant by the resignation OF Fro
lessor Nelson, Mr.. Mcknight comes to
his new field with splendid recommends
lions. He is graduate of Peabody col
lege, Nashville.
A touching tribute was paid Professor
Nelson in the gift by the senior class of
a handsome dressing case. The presenta-
ton was made informally on the day OF
his departure This expression of appre-
citation is an evidence of the high esteem
in which the departing professor was
held by the students.
The Glee club was fully organized for
the year at the regular weekly meeting
last Friday. Professor Gussen announced
the names of those who had been Sc
lccted for membership in the club. 1t
is planned to make at least two road
trips next spring and to give many en-
tertainments in Birmingham.
The Y M. C. A. had an unusually large
attendance this week and much interest
was shown in the address of Professor
Nelson.
A handsome rest room has been fitted
up for the co-eds. 1t is situated on the
main floor of the new science hall and
is comfortably and attractively furnished

THOUGHTS BEGET
TRIUMPHS OR TRAGEDIES
BY THORNWELL HAYNES
President Birmingham, College

How trivial they seem-our thoughts! A
dozen frivolous kinds fit through your
brain in a moment and you hardly know
it.
But thoughts are things They make
your life or mar it. Whether you know
it or not, you are daily praying to be-
come that which you think about most.
And if a man cares anything about
what he is to be tomorrow. he had better
be careful of his thoughts today.
Behind the hand that acts right in maxi
ing a perfect table is the brain that must
first think a perfect table. No perfect
instrument of any kind has ever been
made by man which did not first have
existence in that mans brain. Every
great deed that has ever been performed
was first performed in thought The
words of a great poem did not happen
together, they were thought together.
Brush and canvass and paint did not
accidently unite to produce a great pic
ture-the artist thought them together
The succession of notes in Rigoletto or
Don Giovanni did not simply chance to-
gether-Verdi and Mozart thought them
as they are.
Accident did not dig the Suez nor the
canal. beIOTG ellUeF VI IileHi
was ever dug there were minds which
saw ships sailing through them from
ocean to ocean.
Before all things man has ever made,
whether they were books written pic
lures painted, music composed, houses
built, tapestry woven, canal dugs, en-
pires razed--b efore all of these ever stood
out visible to the eye or audible to the
ear or sensible to the touch, they ex-
listed in somebody's brain.
Books, paintings music, cathedrass,
kingdoms ships are all created things
the mind is the creator of them.
Are you trying to teach? You will al
ways receive the miserly salary of hardly
enough to pay your bills until you begin
to rearrange your circumstances in your
own mind You must not only see children
in the everyday school coming to you,
but you must see yourself teacher of the
most successful Sunday school class in
the community. You must begin to get
a vision of yourself as a community
teacher. You will be unable to make any
progress until you become so earnestly
possessed of a God-consciousness that you
realize you are beginning to do work
in your community greater than anyone
has ever done before. The God-presence-
within can unfold you into a greater even
than Jane Adams or an Ella Flagg

Young. A teacher and God can lead the
world. They can do it as surely today
as it was done 1000 years ago
Perhaps you are about to fail as a per-
feet wife. Whenever you revel daily and
nightly in the beauty of the ideal vision
of a faultless wifehood and motherhood
you will begin to be spoken of by your
friends as the exemplary companion you
desire to be. You will not be required to
think determinedly for many days and
nights until you will find it joy to put
your loving arms around that toward
which your thoughts of love go out, Drop
all thoughts of Impotence, fear, self,
hate, anger, envy, i'll health as quickly
as you would avoid poison or smallpox.
You may be a preacher. Whenever you
think yourself preaching to thousands
whenever you see yourself standing be-
fore neck and eye and ear stretched my
riads, then you will begin to be a bigger
preacher than those who have not dreamed
your dream. If no vision, If no image,
If no picture comes into your brain of a
greater preacher than what you are at
present, then you will remain as you are.
Before Moody ever held speelbound his
audiences he thought himself, saw him
self speaking to them. A communion
with God and God within him realized the
picture of himself as a savior.

ously thought the conditions of the real,
and not until the preacher begins to think
his sermons for the thousands will the
thousands come to listen. Not until he
sees them becoming better men and
women by having listened to him will he
be their uplifter. A preacher may study
chart of the windpipe he may ponder
days and nights over articulation, and at
tend schools of dramatic art, but his
throat and hands and body will not as
sumo the attractive, convincing positions
until his brain becomes baptised with
the thought of a perfect preacher

to see themselves growing rich. Whoever
was fool enough to believe he could be-

all laws of God that a man should be

thinking of poverty, or holy by thinking
of uHholiness. Deep down in your soul

For the benefit of the amateur who de-

written.
First Steps to Be Taken
The keynote to success in showing, it
might be said, lies in one word-"con-
dition." There is no real symmetry with
out condition; size and weight largely
depend upon condition; briliancy OF
comb, earlobes and wattles depend upon
condition; back, breast, body, wings, tai.
fluff and legs, all are affected by condi
ton. Thus it will be seen that success
or failure in the show room is a matter

The legs and toes of the birds should
be carefully washed and cleaned few

ROSE COMB WHITE DORKINGs

Dorkings received a severe set back but
since the theory has been proved incor-
rect, efforts have been made to resur-
rect this variety, and it is now bred
chiefly for exhibition purposes More
over, it has been used in developing other
breeds, notably the White Orpington,
which gets from this Dorking it's size,
color, white legs and white skin.
Like all English fowls Rose Comb
White Orpingtons have been developed
to produce plenty of breast meat. thus
catering to the tastes of English cpl
cures, who eat only this portion of the
fowl.
The Dorkings were among the frs,
fowls to be introduced into America, but
our climate was not favorable to them
Other birds and varieties are now more
popular and the rearing of White Dor
kings is exclusively in the hands of g
few old, faithful admirers.

of having the best and most perfect ta-

That was written from an English
viewpoint. and refers to conditions as
found in that country, but it is equally
applicable to America.
Greatest Advertising Medium
The poultry show has another laudable
objective. 1t is the instilling of a new
interest; it brings poultry lovers together;
1t teaches them how to improve; it
awakens enthusiasm in the neighborhood
in which 1t is held. Therefore, from an
educational and an advertising stand
point, it is the greatest medium we have
today.
OF especial value is the small show, the
one held in a community that probably
cannot command more than a hundred
entries. When such show is judged
by an expert, especially one who has been
engaged from outside. the interest will
be greater and the education of higher
order. A good judge will not only place
his awards in the proper manner, but he
will disqualify whenever it requires

rapid intuition gave him a wonderful in
sight into character, and he soon arrived
at just estimate of people, and of the
motives of those with whom he came
into contact. He did not make many new
friends, and the people who knew him
well, and with whom his holidays or
hours of relaxation were passed. were
confined to those he had known for many
years. He always impressed one with
a deep sense of decency in conversation
and conduct; one felt in talking to him
how impossible it would be to drift into
the easy going discussions Of questions
and problems of our modern life, and it
seemed impossible to imagine his taking
silent acquiescence in the jokes and in
situations which are not considered now
extraordinary or unpleasant.

frankness of his character, and in his
