skSsE%sy end of the baseball season, but
 if you had stood as I did a few mornings ago in the auditorium of the Birmingham Central High school and had seen 14S4 bright, shining, happy, in- telligent faces beaming with joy and gladness, you would know for a certainty that the youngsters of this great, big city are going to get an education
 Few sights that have come to me in recent years have left the delightful im- pression that this remarkable audience of boys and girls has done; everybody seems so happy; there were no tired faces; no stopped bodies; no ''grouches;" every face beamed with happiness; each one radiated joy; the reflection was dis tinctly that of pleasant, and congenial surroundings; of a life that appealed to child nature; of real genuine contentment In the old days, many of us found school somewhat irksome we must confess then it seemed all study and no play; certain it is there was little di- version furnished for the students; today the revolution in school life is as great, and perhaps greater, than in any other vocation; not only are the boys and girls provided with many agreeable whole some, pleasures and pastimes. but they are required to participate in them, and the Birmingham Central High school stands out as splendid example of the modern, up-to-date school of the day.
 It is a great pity that more of the citi- zens of this community do not realize what the public school system of this city is; it is a pity that they do not visit the schools oftener, and see for themselves the great work that is being done for their children.
 The public schools of Birmingham are a living monument to the capability, in- tegrity and splendid talent of Dr. J. H. Phillips and his co-workers.
 The public schools of Birmingham are an ornament and a credit to this com- munity, and if a community is judged by it's schools. then, indeed, Birmingham will pass the maximum mark in her ex- aminations.
 Friday-which is supposed to be the day of i'll omen-resolved itself into a Gay of good repute-at least to me- when 1 chose it toAmake a visit to the Central High school the past week.

 How often by the wayside of the future Will I fondly pause to dream once more, While in my dreaming mem'ries live again Of joyous days among the scenes of yore Of years-just four-that swiftly came and went. Now landmarks on the highway of the past, To time beyond the ken of youth. it seems, Its mem'r ries visions and delights will last. Our friendship is not like the mortal flowers. For they will some day wither and may die, Nor is it like the briefly scented breeze. For that will some day vary and may fly. would it were just as the host of stars That never change as winds and flowers do:

Fer Railroad Fares

Lexington, KY, August 28-In
the belief that t h e Kentucky
statue providing for county ap-
pointments to the University of
Kentucky is unconstitutional,
President Henry S. Barker, Q f
the university, has asked Attor-
General Logan for an opinion.
The question at issue is whether
the statue provides for illegal
discrimination in favor of t h e
students who avail themselves of
the opportunity to accept the ap-
pointment. The attorney g e n
eral will give his opinion in writ
ing and test suit may be filed
to determine the law.
If the section is declared uncon-
stitutional, about 300 students
OF the university will be affected
and about $1,000 saved annually
for the state. County appointees
receive free rooms at the univer-
sity dornitories and have their
railroad fares, both ways, refund
ed at the end of the school term
each year. The law provides
for appointments after competi-
tive examination in the various
counties of the state by the coun-
ty superintendent. Receipts
for railroad fares are filed at the
beginning of the year with t h e
university business agent. The
system has been IN affect for 20
years. in which time a consider
able sum of money has been re-
turned to students by the state.
Tuition at the university is now
free to all. whether county.ap-

LOCATION OF BUILDINGS AND
WORK.

The location of the buildings on a
farm has a great deal to do with the
time it takes to do the work. It will
often pay to move some Of the build
ings in order to secure a more con-
venient arrangement. This was done
on one farm with the following re-
suits: Under the old plan it required
walking So miles year. just in car
rying water. Under the new plan the
water was piped into the house-no
walking required. Bringing in the
wood under the old plan required
walking % miles. Under the new ar
rangement this was reduced to 8 3-4
miles. The trips made to the machine
shed during the year amounted to
81 1-3 miles, by the new arrangement
it was reduced to II 3-4 miles. BY the
new arrangement the years trips in
feeding the hogs was reduced 1O2 1-2
miles and in caring for the chickens 3
miles saved. The total saving for the
year through rearranging the farm
stead was 217 1-3 miles.
It was also figured up and found
that at going wages the time used up
in walking these PIT 1-3 miles was
worth $36.74. It must be remember
ed that it was not only case of walk
ing these miles but it was usually with
something to carry-W. C. Palmer,
