 February vii mark tho opening of the second semester for the educational work at the Young Women's Christian association. Never in the history of our country or of the world was there time when women's opportunity for en- larged service opened into such diverst- fled paths. Every latent or trained talent may have an outlet ill some or these. Girls and women are considering with more and more seriousness the needs of today, taking stock of their db1IlleS WlLn GeIeGeUCt lO Iilt Cdll Ol the world. Doing this, one perhaps finds her life constructed in an un- balanced way, and realizes that there has been an overgroWth, and that she has not developed to high power the best within her. The '1ongs and shorts' in the development of the individual lives are many, and here the Young Womens Christian association, with it's fourfold plan of service, comes into view ofF t1crh itc Inn ont chance for fuller and more balanced development of the individual life.
 Through the educa tional department opportunity is offered along many lines fom building up shorts and cutting down longs" Join the class in arith- metic, spelling or business English. Tes- timony is ample that this has meant much to girls in the past. The classes are not too large to receive personal attention from the teacher They are offered free to all who care to avail themselves of them. Does the business world call? Shorthand classes are planned to meet the demand for the train ing. French and Spanish con sidered the more modern and more desir- able as acquired languages than ever before, may be learned at the Young Women's Christian association.

EDUCATIONAL CIRCLES AUGMENTED BY MRS.
 JAMES MORTON SPENCER FROM SAYRE COLLEGE

fish a school for girls which would en- title them to entrance into such colleges as Agnes Scott and Randolph-Macon without examination, to carry them right through from the primary grades to the most advanced and equip them to enter college with a good foundation ana feeling of confidence that they had re- ceived the best instruction possible.
 My own work in my school is that of Bible teaching, and classes in the History of Art.'' Mrs. Spencer said. have chosen college women to presloe in my faculty and I believe that Blr- ningham appreciates the advantages of fered if I am to judge by the every cordial and generous reception nave had here. Birmingham should have school for girls which ranks with the schools ol the larger cities, and with the growing population here know of no other city more admirably fitted to sustain such school than Birmingham.
 Asked if she felt that the highly edu- cated college girl wasn't a disadvantage to society, rather than an advantase, in that the average man was not as well educated and as it is the average man whom the average girl must marry and sre nd her life with the difference in edu- cation would be so great that there would be little happiness from such unions, Mrs. Spencer replied:
 'It is just the reverse. College women make the best wives because if they are educated properly they are educated spir- itually as we'll as mentally, and they arc fitted to cope with the conditions mentioned. A college woman IS capable of handling situations which the woman who has not had the advantages or col lege life isn't, and her knowledge sup plies the deficiencies caused by her less fortunate heIp-mate who may not nave been a college man. Besides there IS another phase: College women, as rule do not marry uneducated men; their training makes them particular as to choice and some of the very happiest marriages I have ever known and some of the most successful have been made by college women"
 Tt is interesting to me-" Mrs. Spen- cer said, Ito watch the growth and de veoIxnent of the young mind spiritually as A as mentally. The Christian at mosplore that pervades my school is one O. the most important features and our motto is that everything is worth while if done in the right spirit"

 W of all that tends to elevate and edify Birmingham has made no greater strides in educational circles in recent years than during the past year, when Mrs James Morton Spencer. formerly of sayre college, Lexington, Ky, came to Birmingham to take charge of the South Highlands School for Girls.
 Mrs. Spencer's ability and thorough ness, her charming personality and tall ent as teacher. were loudly heralded before she became a resident of Birmng- ham and not one of the many who have had the pleasure of meeting this lovely woman have been disappointed, but the general verdict has been that she de- served even more than had been said about her
 Mrs. Spencer has spent her life practi- cally in educational work, developing, teaching and training the young mind so that it has become second nature with her and her pupils all over the country testify to the splendid success she has made as an educator.
 Mrs. Spencer has been ably assisted by her distinguished husband, Dr. Spen- cer, who, to quote her own words, "has looked after the financial end of the york; but who, at the same time, has filled the pulpit of many large churches in the west as well as in the south, where Mrs Spencer's educational actiyi- ties obtained.

ZANE of the really beautiful events II II of the season was the double W wedding at the Southside Baptist church yesterday afternoon at o'clock, when Mir. Holley Cowherd and Miss Mary Cook and Mir.

Strickland of the First Methodist church choir sang "It's Not Because Your Heart Is Mine," after which Prof. Robert Lawrence sang "Oh, Promise Me" Mrs. Strickland then sang At Dawning," after which the bridal chorus from Lohengrin was rendered by a mixed chorus from the Arion and Twenty clubs. The only attendants were the ushers, Mr Charles l.. Candy, broth er-in-law to Miss Cook Mir. James Cow herd, brother of the grooms; Mir. Will liam F. Franklin and MT. Al F. Ryan. The brides entered by the right aisle and were met at the altar by the grooms, who entered from the pastors study. Both brides wore corsage bouquets of brides roses and lilies of the valley. Separate edicts were pronounced by Dr. Baker, the ring ceremony being used.
 Miss Cook was lovely in a blue velvet suit with moleskin collar, blue hat to match, with grey shoes. Miss Steph- ems wore a handsome blue serge suit, with tan collar, tan satin hat trimmed in blue to match, with champagne shoes. Mrs. Edward T. Rice, organist of the Southside Baptist church, was the acccmpanist for the musical programme.
 After the wedding dinner was served for the bridal party at the home of Mrs Charles l.. Candy on Twelfth street, south.
