classroom and auditorium. There is a
 long row of windows on the side oppo-
 site the other two rooms. At one end is
 a stage, and at the other are double doors opening on another small porch. This makes a compact building, contain ing space for a large assembly hall, and
 g1ves pleasing lines.
 The lighting is ideal. On the left of each room is row of windows with translucent shades, giving a soft light and a pretty effect from within and with out. A new piano has recently been bought Each room has a new teacher s
 desk and built-in cabinet for books. Other well chosen articles of furniture
 and equipment, such as maps. globes,
 pictures and books are being collected. This is Porter's first school building and its first school Previous to 1914 the school for the mines and the nearby farm ing community was taught at Williams burg church a short distance away. A graduate of the University of Virginia lived and taught there for IS years. His wife owned a tract of farm land near
 there and they made their home on this His teaching was of high order and
 was an influence that is still felt in the community.
 When the school was moved to Porter two years ago and the new building was being erected, a most fortunate selec- ton of principal was made in Mrs. Lil- Han Wall, who came to Jefferson some
 eight years ago from the schools of Huntsville and Tuscumbia.
 Under Mrs. Walls direction the regular work of the school has been carried on
 with marked success. Her two assist
 ants, Miss Crowley and Miss Pless are
 qualified for the work they are doing
 and the three teachers have demonstrated their ability and their interest

The written work done at Por- ter, when considered as such test, re- fleets credit on teachers and pupils The upper grammar grades have prepared arithmetic papers that show plainly the accuracy and understanding with which their work is done. As part of their written work in English some of the pupils have exchanged letters with pupils of a school in the northwest, and these letters have been interesting from the standpoint of both English and geog- raphy.
 The work of the school as community center dates from it's opening. A night school has been one feature, and an-

That this te is beginning to be realized is grati- Ing, for it is the fulfillment of a sin E wish and an earnest effort that the Iools might be of service in every way n to them and not miss an oppor- I Iity to function in the upbuilding of the 5lmunity.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Proposed Bond Issue

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 l sometimes wonder if there are not quite number of taxpayers and voters in the city of Birmingham, who have not at times asked themselves the question Is it to our advantage from a business and economic standpoint to vote for all the proposed bond issues that are sched- uled to come before the voters of the city on June 5 of this year?
 do not think there can be much logi- cal criticism against the school bond is- sue, other than to say it is deplorable that any part of the money so raised should have to be used for repairing and maintaining old buildings; this should be taken care of from the city's annual in- come from taxes, etc. I am of the opinion that plans and estimates and probable location of each building along with the type of construction and it's seating ca- pacity should be given the taxpayers, thereby giving them an idea of how much school facilities we are going to get for g, 900, 900.
 Very much just criticism may be used against the methods advanced for procur-
 ing and financing the proposed audi. torium We should have an auditorium but I cannot say I am in favor of a mu- nicipal hotel, costing the taxpayers in the form of interest on a bonded debt $27, ,5O( annually to maintain.
 When we consider the $500, ,0O0 bond is- sue for increasing the size of the electric lighting plant at North Birmingham, we are up against a different proposition Let us consider some of the business as- poets in a venture of this kind. The ob- ject of this plant is to compete with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for the lighting of the streets and residences in a. part of the city -oi Birmingham. It will not be a large enough unit to supply power for indus
