months.
A feature of the meeting was the
talk of Judge l.. j. Haley on the re-

lie was Intercepted freely by the
realtors as to certain points of the
law
Judge B NJ. Allen made an appeal
for the assistance of the exchange in
passing the good roads bond issue
for s25, 100000. to be voted on by The
state at an early date. The unanimous
support of the exchange was promised
Mr.. Allen towards putting the bond IS
sue over.
The automobile owners of the stdte
are to carry the biggest share of the
good roads tax" said Mr.. Allen. IN
fact, the increase in automobile taxes
will be sufficient to pay the interest
on the bonds and create sinking fund
to meet the payment of the bonds
when they fall due.
"Citizens of the srate and of Biz
mingham should wake up to the oF-
nortunities that these millions of dol
lars invested in good roads over the
state will mean to them People FROM

to Florida or elsewhere would come ~

my work in Wisconsin included both
the children's division and the educational
department of the Wisconsin Sunday
School association" she explained. The
educational part has to do with training
of teachers, and community training
schools in local towns In addition to
community schools our concern is to in
trodace proper courses of study in local
schools and see that thees COURSE are
handled in the right way.
Conventions and institutes require
their share of time, Miss Bailey con-
tinued, while the summer is given over
largely to camps and training schools
Then, there is the International Training
school at Lake Geneva, where | was once
pupil of my friend Miss Minnie ken
nedy, who gave me so much inspiration
to carry back to my own state
Miss Kennedy's former pupil still attends
the International school at Lake Geneva,
in the capacity of instructor in all de-
partments of children's work. Her thor

DDS for juniors, her genius and enthus-
iasm for the work mark Miss Mabel
Bailey as one of the widely sought In
structors in the School of Methods, by
both teachers and mothers of Birming-
ham boys and girls.

for the place. according to prepared
statement issued by the governor. 1t was
decided to name him commissioner at a
meeting of the special commission pro
vided for by the legislature, and COM
posed of the governor, chief justice OF the
supreme court, and presiding judge of
the court of appeals.
Justice Mayfield accepted the place
Then the governor named Judge Brown
of the court of appeals as successor to
Justice Mayfield, and Henry p. Merritt
as successor to Judge Brown.
Judge Merritt left the city late Thurs
ady- afternoon before his friends had time
TO extend congratulations.
Speaking of the deliberations of the
comrtissfon,s' the governor said:
Judge Mayfield was sent for, and
stated that while he had in no sense been
an applicant since the commission saw
fit to offer him the place, he had ac
&C pted the position, which necessitates
his resigning from the supreme court. 1t
will be recalled that Judge Mayfield pre-
pared the code of 1907 and has had nearly
- years experience on the supreme court
of the state, and while the commission
had excellent material from which to
make a selection, they felt that in select
ing Judge Mayfield they would be taking
no chances or risk, hence the place wal
rendered him.
