IMPROVED FACILITIES
 AT MARGARET ALLEN
Able Faculty for Coming Session and Addition of Primary Depart
 ment Announced

The Margaret Allen School for Girls on South Highlands will soon open for its fifteenth annual session with improved facilities for caring for it's students and the restoration of the primary depart ment, which will be under the direct su- pervision of Mrs. Gertrude Arnold, an accomplished teacher of the primary grades.
 MT. and Mrs William Gussen will con tnue their connection with the institu- ton and the dancing classes will be con- dGcted under the direction of c. H. Miles, whose fame as an instructor is almost nationwide. The intermediate depart ment will be under charge of Miss Dow ell, and a vocal studio will be opened, with Miss Virginia Dowell in charge.
 The building and premises of the Mar garet Allen school are. perhaps, the most sanitary of any similar school in the south. and it's reputation for thorough ness is attested by hundreds of Birrning- ham mothers who have had their chill dren trained there from infancy. The commencement of Margaret Allen school laa year attracted attention throughout the state, and several adjoining states and the pageant of the graduates and undergraduates was one of the most en- joyable events of commencement season in the state.

drawing, decorative and applied design, pictorial illustration, figure sketching, costume design, modelling in clay, pot .tery, elementary woodwork, basketry and fooled leather work. Special nor nal courses for teaching in public schools are given.
 4. Commercial courses: Bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting. Two years required for the completion of the course.
 5. Applied sciences, while not strict ly technical subjects, are closely allied to them. Practical courses are offered in zoology, biology, dairying, poultry raising, bee culture, gardening care of orchards, landscape work. etc, all of which tend to prepare for better home life.
 While the pupils are specially pre- pared for the profession of teaching and almost every other calling open to women, the Alabama Girls Technical institute brides itself upon its excel lent courses for the highest and purest forms of home life. Its students soon become the makers and leaders of the highest cultured society and are not the blind followers and imitators of what may be the passing fancies of the day.

 The prime object of Bible study should ever be the development of personal character, to make doers of the word, and not hearers only.
 As St. Paul wrote to young Timothy, let us hold fast the form of sound words and be examples" of the believers in words. in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith. in truth.
 Such a course of study of the Bible as has been thus meagrely outlined de- mands work But it's achievement is easily within the reach of the most busy young man or woman. If a little of the time that is now daily spent in fugitive nibbling in the Bible were systematically expended after some such method suggested I am sure that in a short while there will be gained an insight into things now mysterious. and power of re- ligious life not dreamed of.

MONTEVALLO GIRLS !. SCHOOL IS NOTED FOR THOROUGHNESS Was Established by Leg islatiye Enactment
 in 1895
TECHNICAL COURSES
 COVER MANY THINGS
Home Economies, Music, Art, Manual Training, Commercial Courses and Applied Science Among Sub-
 jects Taught at A. G. IT.

The Alabama Girls Technical in- stitute at Montevallo has recently com pleted is twentieth regular session and nrst summer school sesion. It was es- tablished as the result of bill intro duced into the senate in 1891, by Sol D. Bloch of Camden. The bill was defeat ed at that session, butlwas renewed and passed in 1893, to become effective in 1895. The doors were opened for stu dents in October, 1S96
 It is controlled by a board of trus. tees, appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate. The follow ing are the members at present:
 Gov. Charles Henderson and W. F. Feagin, superintendent of edueationA ex officio; L. Sevier. Birmingham; w. H Tayloe, Uniontown; John T. Cochrane Mobile; Sol D. Bloch, Camden; s. H. Dent, Eufaula; Lloyd H. Hooper, Selma M. A. Graham, Prattville: Ernest B. Fite, Hamilton; George H. Parker, Gull. man; H. Kumpe, Moulton, and M V Joseph, Birmingham.
 There have been three presidents Capt. H. c. Reynolds, 1S96-99, who is now living in Tampa, Fla MT. Reyn- olds was a strong executive and put the work of the school upon a firm basis for future development. Through his influence the land grant was ob- tained from Congress.
 Dr. Francis Marion Peterson served from 1899 to 1907, though in the fall of 1906 by reason of falling health was granted a leave of absence until the close of that session. J. Alex Moore acted as president pro tenn for that time During the administration of pr. Peterson a part of the dormitory build. ing was erected, additions made to the chapel and recitation rooms. the courses of study enlarged and many other pro- gressive movements begun. Perhaps no college president was ever so beloved by student body as was Dr. Peterson. He died at his home in 4Montevallo in 1908.
 In May. 1907, pr. T. W. Palmer, for 25 years professor of mathematics and dean of the faculty of the University of Alabama, was elected president and began work in his new field of labor June of that year. At this time there was a general awakening in all edu- cational matters in Alabama The great school at Montevallo has kept pace with the progress of the times and has been leader in all advance move sments.

catches the heart and captivates the taste. The pearl of spiritual truth is of great price, but even the casket, that is, literary from the expression of this great truth, is of exquisite beauty. The apples of truth are indeed gold; but the basket that holds is finest silver. The worlds s great masters of style have brought ol.Iy highest praise to the Bible. Sir Walter Scott said when dying, Bring mo the Book" What Book?" asked Lockhart "The only Book replied Scott, the Bi. ble."
 Even Byron kept copy of the Bibls on his table. Mathew Arnold exclaimed, What a course of eloquence and poetry for a school would be the Bible!" Dan iel Webster wrote, T now make prac. tice to go through the Bible once a year It is the Book for lawyers. I pity ths man who cannot find in it a rich supply for thought"
 Do you desire exquisite poetry. words that breathe and thoughts that burn?" Seek the singing lyrics of David, the royal harper of Israel. whose every nerve quivered in poetic sympathy, with the beauty of nature and with every heart beat of manity. The Heorew lyrics are the finest lyrics in the world. Would you have eloquence touched, as it were, by a coal of fire off the altar of God? Read the winged words of Isaiah. Here the Hebrew language and genious. says Mathew Arnold, are seen in their perfection. For pungent epgram, perfect in form and matter, there are the Proverbs. For the sublime as revealed In nature, there are the lofty Psalms, for the sublime moral power. the im- passioned pages of Job. For augumen- tative, soul-stirring eloquence, nothing can surpass the noble orations and let ters of Paul. Do you a six for tenderness Do you ask for pathos? Or for the nat ural. simple and affecting nara tive |? They are all there. Here is something for the pensive, something for the san guine, something for the calm, some thing for the most matter-of-fact
 ENGLISH OF THE BIBLE
 The English of the Bible, too, can be made most attractive study. No book in our literature is comparable as a store house of intense idiomatic verna cular. Indeed, since the first splendid .rensla- tion by Wycliffe, the book has largey moulded our English speech and enriched its imagery and diction beyond all esti- nation. Moreover, to comprehend the meaning of the Bible, we must study this vehicle in which it is conveyed. Tn3 let ter 'killeth, but the letter misunderstood also killeth. Precision of lanugage is the same as precision of thought. We have all heard of the old preacher who read,
 Thou art an austere man"-'Thou art an oyster man." and preached a sermon on the hardships of a fisherman's life
