 The most popular phase of the Associa- tions work is the speech improvement activity. This movement, under the gen. eral supervision of the National Council of Teachers of English, proposes rousing the public sentiment to the need and pos sibility of improving the speaking voice and raising the standard of speech usages in daily life Mrs. J. F. Hooper of Selma hopes to institute this activity among the clubs. MT. Jerome Stern, MT Bromb erg, and others will work toward rousing a sentiment in the business districts of Birmingham for the encouragement among all employees of the use of pleasantness of voice, distinctness and correctness of speech The aid of teachers, editors, min- isters lawyers, dentists, and all other such workers will be solicited for further ing improvement in speech habits.
 Thus far the Association of Teachers of English is meeting hearty cooperation everywhere All seem to agree with State Superintendent Feagin in a recent state ment to the effect that training in Eng fish is of basic value and should have full considera tion in the educational work of Alabama.
