CITY NIGHT SCHOOLS
 FOR sF0RE|GNERS Four Schools Established Under Auspices of Board of EducatiOn-Others
 to Follow

O. T. Moore, chief naturalization eXa miner of the United States was in Blr- mingham yesterday to confer with pr J. H. Phillips. superintendent or the city schools and pr. c. B. Glenn, assist ant superintendent, regarding the estap- lishments of night schools for foreigners. The city of Birmingham has already established four night schools for the education of the foreigners and there IS an attendance of approximately 6OO, ac- cording to a statement made Dy Or' J. H. Phillips last night.
 '"The influenza epidemic has intertereu with the attendance of the night schools just as it has the public schools, sald Dr. Phillips, but now that the scare mas subsided the attendance Is expected to lh- crease Not only are classes held TOT the foreign element at these schools, but special classes in English, French, ms tory, civics, Spanish, mathematics ana various other subjects are taught and !. large number of girl and boys over ls years of age who are employed during the day are availing themselves of this oppor- tunity and are attending the night school regularly.
 "One of the most interesting matters at present is the Americanization of the foreign element and the first acqulsltio-i is education. The government is endeaV- bring to give all foreigners who are oe- coming citizens of the United states an opportunity to secure better know ledge of the English language and thus make better citizens of them.' yf,
 These foreign classes are conducted under the auspices of the board of educa- tion and have been established at cen tral High school, Ensley High schooi Wylam and Pratt City. The text DOCK for foreigners are furnished by the oni ted States government free, and when th course has been completed certificates o diplomas will be given the stuoents These are also furnished by the govern ment which is cooperating with ci.ie' all over the country in the establishment of schools for the Americanization o foreigners.

AMERICAN MEDICAL
 SOCIETY INQUIRIES l ABOUT BIRMINGHAM
Meeting Place for 1920 Con- ventiOn Unsettled-Lack of Auditorium Precludes
 Invitation Here

| Birmingham has chance to secure
 the>192o convention of the American Med ical society provided accommodations in l the way of auditorums and hotels are available. The membership of the or | ganization is said to exceed 5000 and the great majority or the members attend each annual convention.
 Inquiries have been made of the Cham Der of Commerce to the seating capaci- i ty of Birmingham's audtoriums and the
 information advanced that there must be | one capable of accommodating 5000 per-
 sons with several smaller halls with seat
 ing capacities ranging up to 1500, The 1920 convention city will be selected
 at the convention to be held in June
 of this year, but the cities bidding for
 it must furnish the requested informa- i ton six weeks before the convention | assemblies in June,
 1 Upon receipt of the letter of inquiry yesterday General Manager r. A. Feni-
 more renewed his agitation for big au-
 dtorium for Birmingham Bonds for an
 auditorium were authorized by a vote of i the people of Birmingham year or more |, ago, but due to the stress of war con ditions and the financial demands of the l country while it was engaged in that 1 titanic struggle all building operations and public Improvements not of an es-
 sential character were suspended. Hence, | nothing further than the authority to issue the bonds was ever done.
 MT. Fenimore called to see the city conl- mssioners yesterday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the auditorium proposition with them but as they were busy with other matters at the time he did not get to see them. He will call
 on them again today and lay before them
 the matter of taking immediate action toward building the auditorium this year. 1 In the meantime Mir Fenimore will ad- wise the medical society that while Bir. mingham at present has no halls of the required capacity she will, in all prob ability, be sufficiently equipped in that
 respect before the 1920 convention meets.
 and he will suggest that the definite se- lection of the 1920 convention city be de- l ferred until they hear from him.

 It was stated at the company's office yesterday that more cars were engaged in transportation of passengers through out the day than had been in service for months Just as fast as the repairmen can release motor cars and trailers they are shot back into service and others needing repairs are given the proper ad- justments and repairs.

J. $. Pevear. general manager of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Powe' company under the federal receivership, is hale fellow well met. and if you don't happen to know this strappins chance take him for the phenom that Tex Rickard has recently signed for from one to 40 rounds on S10o0o0- basis MT. Pevear is as busy as the manipuIa- tor of a bargain sale at white goods counter, and admits that he is not hay ing any easy pickings in getting the oio time form rounded out on local street railway schedules, but says he is doing the best he can, and that he sees inn provement every day, and that at the present time he just lacks 90 men of having a normal pay roll as pertains te conductors and motormen. which is 600 men.
 If one visits the men in charge oi giving Birmingham better service on heI street cars, better equipment more sanl- tary equipment, and consequently more satisfied public, about as stated above is what will be found in the personality of the two men.
 SERVICE IMPROVES The street car situation today is un- doubtedly better than it was this time last week. One has only to consult his timepiece when waiting for a car to prove this statement. Cars are more frequent, and the boys are getting the hang of the game-the new ones employed and if one stops to consider what has happened and will only be fair about It. exercising a little patience, better serv- ice will be in evidence The frame of the public mind has whole lot to do with the service.
 'T admit that conditions have been bad," said MT. Bradley yesterday, tha' they are not as good as they should be now, but in order to improve the service and to give the people the kind of serv- i've that they are entitled to. this is nc time to argue the why's and wherefores oi the past which has brought about sucf a condition as existed in Birmingham, rel ative to the street car service.
 q want, also, 10 admit that coming from a law office to the office of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany, getting into the setting of tht same, grasping the many details thai must be recognized as proper ingredi- ents of service, such as the public corpor- ations are required to furnish, IS n' easy task, but believe that am rou" '' ing into form and will soon have some announcements to make that will make Birmingham feel better, make transpor' tstion easier and create better feelins among all the people who ride the stree cars. PEVEAR ON DETAILS MT. Pevear is working out the details and I might say that he has begun a

the street car repair shops. He reports to
 me that the work there is progressing
 nicely, and we have service today that IS so much better than a few days ago that I am really very optimistic oyer the outlook for a return to normal transpor- tation schedules"
 Mir. Bradley's office is on the second
 floor, just off the elevator, and he is seated at a rolltop desk with plain oak table in front of him, and while
 he is street car head today, he still uses that proverbial legal sized, ruled ma
 nila pad for memoranda, and though minus law books and various other legal equipment you may mistake him for lawyer. But he is 'whole-time' on the job of street caring now.
 Tt is a fact stated Mir. Pevear, that
 today Birmingham is receiving the same service that was given a year ago, put I want to be fair, and l will further state that more people are riding the street cars now than were patrons year ago. This is accounted for by the normal growth of the city, and we realize that it is up to us to increase our ser Ivice to such a degree as to take care of this increase in population We know tbaf our equipment is inNneed of repair. and that we must depend upon these re- pairs to be able to have equipment sui ficent to handle the patronage of the lines, for it is impossible to get new cars within six to seven months. We were unable to get any repair material whatever, prior to January l, and even now there are some things on which we cannot get priority But the strings are loosening, and we believe that within few days we are going to be getting sup plies right along.
