same resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted.
The following resolution was intro
duced by M. X. Clements and unanl-
mous1y adopted:
Whereas. the teachers OF Alabama
have always been true to the highest
ideals of devotion 10 duty ana OF
patriotism: and,
Whereas, 1t is a fact recognized by
all that the influence exerted by the
teachers for the last 80 years in teach
ing the evils OF alcohol and narcotics,
has been the most potent factor in
the evolution that has brought about
the sentiment in the minds and hearts
of our people in reference to temper
ance; and,
Whereas we are now confronted
with the problem, in the solution o.
which is bound up the destiny of null
tjplied millions Of people.
Therefore be it resolved by the
Alabama Educational association in its
th;rtyseventh annual session in the
city of Birmingham. That we are iii
favor of the ratification of the prohi-
bition amendment to the constitutions
of the United States and that we call
upon the Legislature of Alabama to

resigned their positions in the schools TO
take up more direct service in the
work of the Red Cross, food conserVa-
ton secretarial duties with the govern
ment, and in many other ways.
Report shows that from ~ counties
OF Alabama there were 1899 white
men teachers employed in the schools
in 1867. 1858 white men teachers
in 1s17-1S: that 215 have gone into
war service; that SO white women
teachers have given UP their posi-
lions to go into war service work. Ihe
remainder of the men teachers. 26 IN
mum Der, have left the profession Tor
various reasons.
In bringing the war into the
schools and lin using the war TO
make better schools it is evident
that there are two classes of prob
lens that must be considered. In the
first place there are those problems
which are concerned with the imne-
date necessity of winning the war.
Second, there are the permanent prob
lens which are Is necessary In peace
as in war. and which Will be even
more insistent after the war is over.
In the face of immediate necessity we
must not overlook or undervalue the
opportunity to develop those perma-
nent elements of service to the state
-"service which may be vitalizing
and enobling, full of purposeful apprc-
citation Of our collective responsible
ity."
DEFENDERS OF OUR LAND
If ever in our history, this is the
psychological time to teach children
that they must save to give all they
can to the defenders of the land which
we hope and believe will be left to
them purified in the crucible OF fire.
Children ought not to be asked to give
of their savings to some worthy OBJ
jects which some people have con-
ceived as deserving of support. For
tunately, there are things to which
they can give and investments which
they can make that are unquestionably
high and pure. The Junior Red Cross
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps
are examples. Every pupil in the
schools of Alabama should be MEM
Der of the appropriate section Of the
Red Cross. Every pupil, of every

them those of our entire population to
the problems responsibilities and duties

now pressing as never before upon the

great war is bringing to the minds and
hearts of our people a new and higher
appreciate of the problems of our
economic, social and national life and a

aims of democracy. 1t is the privilege
and duty of the teachers of Alabama to
have a large part in the vital task Of
giving these and other lessons of the
war. These lessons must be learned

sage to teachers from Woodrow Wilson,
our great President. The commissioner
of education of New York says: THE
schoolhouse cannot shut the sounds of
this war away from the ears Of our
children. We must tell them what it
means and guide their interests through
tangible forms of service in the high
cause to which we are committed as a
nation"
| The clarion call of President Wilson,
modifying every resource OF the nation,
| is not merely a call to soldiers and sail

/ win this war. Listen to what he says
1T is not an army that we must shape
and train for war; it is a nation. . i.
The whole nation must be a team in
which each man shall play the part for
which he is best fitted. Each man
shall be classified for service in the place

These words from Professor Dean Of

FLY AMERICAN FLAG

FLY AMERICAN FLAG
| DIR. Barrett spoke of the necessity OF
patriotic fervor among the teachers of
Alabama, stating that over every school,
house in the state should fly an Ameri-
| can flag, so that every child will learn
| to love the Star Spangled Banner and
| all it represents. Miss Sarah Luther,
| principal of the Conecuh High school,
| was next introduced by DIR. Phillips In
| a most delightful manner and she re-
| sponded to DIR. Barrett's welcome, say
| ing in behalf OF the teachers of the state
what a pleasure it was to be in Bir-
mingham and how rndch each one liked
\ to visit the metropolis of Alabama. She
| paid a tribute to Dr. Phillips. saying
he was one OF the most efficient super
intendents in the country.
Miss Luther spoke of the work accom-
plished by women in the past few years
| in school work, stating the best in al
probability being the records made by
/ the women county superintendent OF
education, 1914 per cent of the county SUI
perintendents in the United States being
women.
SALARIES OF TEACHERS
In speaking of the salaries paid
| teachers she stated the salaries ef
| men teachers in Alabama had been
| Increased practically 60 per cent while
the womens salaries have been in
creased very little, if any. She spoke
| CT the urgent need for an increase for
| the women as many were leaving the
| profession and taking up more re-
| n'unerative work, and the education OF
the children is most important and is
urged by the government.
DR.. Phillips introduced Prof. Charles
A. Brown, principal of Central High
school and president of the associa-
| ton, who said in part:
