PERSONALITY IS A
 POTENT FACTOR IN
 TEACHERS. WORK
Dr. Griggs Addressed Large Audience At Central High School On Influence
 of Personality
By G. LEWIS RALLIES

Thursday afternoons theme of the Griggs lectures was ''The Influence of Personality in Education This concep- tion has come to be a major factor in education as regarded by specialists, and the brief held by MT. Griggs is generally conceded to be perhaps the most forceful in all the educational literature of Amer ica on this subject. MT. Griggs is emi- nently qualified by native gift and ex- perience to deal authoritatively and con clusively with the matter of the power of personality in the classroom.
 The lecturer believes that teaching, like living. is an art to be learned only in practice involving the constant adjust ment of one personality to others, irregu- larly changing. No normal school or uni versity instruction can compensate for the lack of direct contact with children and of the concrete insight developing from such contact" he said It is necessary, he claims, to recognize further that the personal character of those exercising the control will be the power behind all others in determining the sum of moral effect achieved with and upon the chill dreh dealt with. '"The parent and the teacher can influence children for good or evil to a degree no, equaied in any of the relations of mature life, MT. Griggs declared.
 PARENTHOOD
 Turning to the consideration of parent hood, MT. Griggs felicitated our day and generation upon an awakening conscience in what he termed the basic vocation He empha sized that mothers are begin ming to see that their vocation requires a considerable measure of both liberal and special training But on the other hand he concluded. the profession of father hood--even the phrase sounds strange-rs practically .undiscovered.
 The very quintescence of the whole afternoon discourse. Mr. Griggs stated thus What we need is not to pre- tend the virtues necessary to helpful influence over children. but to strug- gle toward those virtues with all our might"

AvONDALE MANS VIEWS

T am against all these bond issues, , said pr. H. l.. Martin of Avondale, for mer member of the board of aldermen and one of the best known men in the city. In the first place the $2,OOO 0OG school bond issue is a half baked idea. We need more schools, but we are not ready yet to vote for any such bond issue. The matter has not been given the consideration such a proposition should receive. a
 "As to the auditorium and city hall bond issue. that is mere real estate proposition. It has little. if any, merit. It was originally conceived as a propo- sit1on to take care of the Roden hotel site and, regardless of what mlght be the present aspect of the case, that was the proposition which caused it to be started.
 "As to the half million dollar bond issue for the municipal light plant, there are several objections to it. In the first place, we are not yet ready for municipal ownership. Then even if we were, we do not want it at this time. The city commission is not ready to handle a proposition of this size and this intricacy and the citizens should be slow to vote them money for this purpose"

NEEDS NEW BUILDING

Then there is the matter of a mu- nicipal building. The city of Birming- ham is sadly in need of municipal building. Regardless of whether we have the Roden hotel property or some other we need city hall. The pres ent structure is badly out of date. It is far behind the needs of the present city of Birmingham. The city has out grown the present structure It seems that the Construction of combination auditorium and city hall can be best made together.
 As to the bond issue for the mu nicipal light plant, I am opposed to it. l believe that municipal ownership is failure. We have had occasion to investigate the facts in one or two instances and in each of them I have found that the figures of the municipal ownership advocates were not borne out by the facts. We should go slow in the matter of voting bonds for mu- nicipal ownership of light and other utilities

eventually lead to the complete dis

DR.. Browne placed the responsibility
in a largi measure for the European
war, upon the shoulders Of Turkey and

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE POWER OF A SMILE.

There's wondrous lot of power
In an honest, wholesome smile;
1t often starts a blessing
That will travel for mile.
Why, when hearts are sad and heavy
And the days are dark the while,
You can notice that things brighten
From the moment that you smile.
What the rose is to the bower,
What the jewel to the ring,
What the song is to the robin
In the gladstone days of spring,
What the gold is to the sunsets
That oft our souls beguile
All this, and more, to people
Is the blessing of smile.
When you see face that's saddened
BY the cruelty of strife,
Into which have come the wrinkles
From the tolls and cares of life,
Just send a ray of sunshine
To smooth it's brow awhile,
And bestow a passing blessing
By the giving of smile.
