BRITAIN BUILDS SHIPS
ON VAST SCALE
More Than Any Other Nation Could
Undertake mt One Time.

London. Aug. 22.-There Is certain
small section Of British waterfront
where more ships are under construc-
ton to-day than the entire shipbuilding
facilities of any other nation could
undertake at one time. They include
every type OF craft, from subma rines
to battleships and from steam trawlers
to Atlantic liners. Most governments
lay down their hattleships and cruis-
ers singly, and the lesser craft perhaps
in pairs, but here battleships loom up
as twins light cruisers by the half
dozen, destroyefs in rows of ten. with
many braces of long submarines. and
an occasional monitor.
The war fleet under the hammer and
the paint brush here would rank in the
naval list above the establishments OF
several modest maritime powers. 1t
could demolish with one volley tho two
squadrons which fought the battle OF
Manila bay. and then steam against
the combined American and Spanish
fleets off Santiago with confidence. The
merchant ships on the stocks are az
many as the United States mercantile
marine has added to its register in sew
eral years.
I'VE have trained crews ready to step
on board all these ships as soon as they
are fitted," naval officer remarked.

CLASS ELECTIONS OF MUCH INTEREST Class Honors Bestowed at the Louie Compton
 Seminary
By EsTELLE BROWN

\ The week of class elections is al- ways one of great interest, since hold ing a class office is considered one of the greatest honors a student can have. Class meetings have been held during the past week at the Louie Compton 1 seminary, officers elected and plans for the year discussed. To be eligible to a class office a student must be uncon- ditionalIy classified for regular work and must have rSoven herself worthy of distinction. The class organizations take the place of sororities, bringing the girls together socially and encour- aging a spirit of loyalty to the school The officers for the different classes are: Senior class, president, Estelle Brown; vice president, Lydia Shores; secretary. Mable Barton; treasurer Hattie Harrell; chairman of social committee Ruth Ferguson; factotums, Junie McClain and Abbie Cranford
 Junior class: President, Gladys Hinds; vice president, Martha Cooper; secretary and treasurer, Ollie Davis; chairman of sociaS committee, Ger trude Roach
 Sophomore class: President, Maria McAdory; vice president, Joe Burgin;
 
 chairman of social committee, Mary Byron Frazier
 Freshman class: President, Mary Hewitt vice president, Mary Rogers; secretary, Annis Grover; treasurer, Emily Nesbitt; chairman of social com mittee, Violet Tyler.
 Subfreshman class: President, Fran cis May; vice president, Georgia Trib- ble; secretary and treasurer, Lois Goodwin.
 The girls of the boarding depart ment met Saturday, night for the pur- pose of organizing literary club. It was decided that meetings should be held on alternate Saturday nights and that programme should be given each time. Since the purpose of the organi- zation is to come together socially and to discuss affairs of the day they ap- propriately called 1t The Agora Club" since the greek Agora was the meet ing place for just such purposes. The members were divided into two sec tions called "Agora Alphas' and "Agora Betas" These divisions will al- ternately have charge of the pro- gramme. Great plans ara being made for both profit and pleasure and it Is hoped that the "Agora club" will be- come~an esta blished feature of the school.
 Miss Alberta Hinds, H. and Miss Mamie Burrell, 15, spent the weekend as guests at the seminary.

Passage of the Educational Amendment Would In- crease Facilities for the
 Science Departments
By CLARENCE G. THOMPSON

BY ClAHENOE 1hOM+ASC4N
 Need for more public school funds is plainly evidenced at the school ex- hibits at the Alabama State Fair this year. To visit these exhibits and eX- anime the achievements of the various schools represented there, then to know under what difficulties the de- partment under which the work is ac- complished must operate, one would catch themselves saying, "EXtraordi- nary?
 The public school display at the State Fair is grett considering the fact that most of the schools are suf- , fering for want of funds sufficient to develop the departments that give the child a domestic and mechanical train isg, fitting them for the after struggle in that great multifarious life we call the world.
 Great progress has been made in the training of the hands of the grammar and high school pupil, as well as de- veloping the brain, in the last 10 years Time was when domestic science in the school was thing unknown, and the only domestic training the girl ever received was at the apron strings of her mother in the four walls of the home kitchen. Often this training proved to be good and often the moth CT of girls were too impatient to take the proper care of her daughters training and let her do the work in half-shod way.
 With the coming of the expert teach CT, the graded course and the extreme pains taken in giving schoolgirls this training in the domestic science courses of the schools, the girls are being more thoroughly trained than ever they could have been in the kitchen at home when dinner must be prepared in rush and ready on time.
 The same conditions has existed with the boy, who by the designation of he exerted his energy and spare time to the building of truck wagons, crude houses and other useless articles. Since courses in mechanical training have been introduced into the public schools the boys minds are trained to do use- full things; to make articles worth while and that require brains, tact and skill, as well as thorough training. Woodwork of all kinds, patterns. metal works and the finishing of articles from the best reinforced steel.
 Now, to do these things; to have these departments where the hands and minds of students are trained to plan, fashion and make articles, there must be money enough to equip depart ments; to hire experienced teachers and instructors. This many of the schools of Jefferson county and Ala bama have not got, hence the ineffi- ciency of the school in regard to such a training.
 This inefficiency, like all other de- ficiencies of the schools, has been brought about by the failure of pro- vision in the state constitution of 1875 whereby the counties could make their own school tax assessments, enlarge and equip their schools and do for their children what the other states are do- ing. But there is remedy, a remedy that not only will allow sufficient funds to carry on this work of train- ing hands. but will allow each county

 The demand for street gowns in com binations of serge and charmeuse or taf- feta is so insistent that it seems worth while to construct an attractive frock out of these materials if you have a garment on hand which would lend itself to this idea.

When Greek Meets Greek

From the New York Post
 The middle-aged American, who was having his shoes polished, looked down at the busy Greek lad, who was bent on turning out good job
 "Well, young man. he said. rather patronizingly. "I suppose you are learn ing to speak good English By-the- by, how long have you been in this countrty?"
 "'Bout one year, meester," was the prompt reply. "You live here some time, I guess?"
 "Oh" answered the other vaguely. with a mysterious smile. I've been here over a year."
 The young Greek regarded his cus- timer with suspicion for a moment, and then, appearing to understand that he was being quizzed, said swiftly, with a dazzling smile, well, meester. I give you compliment. You speak very good language for so short while!"
