After reading Prof. FL lis ad we were induced to enter the Spencer-Ellis Bus mess College. We are con vinced that all he has said about his short, easy methods is absolutely correct, short, quick, thorough. This is a wonderful school"
 Nearly half of this group are school teachers, who are competent judges of merit. Bookkeeping and shorthand can both be learned in Spen- cer College in less than three months. It has been done in two months, enabling them to hold $100 positions and more.
 Eighty of our pupils have accepted good positions up to date this year, and we have more calls than we can fill each day.
 Bookkeeping taught in ten to twenty days, cost, $40.
 Shorthand taught in twen- ty to forty days, $40.
 Both courses, including books, life scholarship, $55.
 We challenge comparison in thoroughness with any other college in the country. Just think of it, girls seven teen years old, after twelve days study of bookkeeping, holding positions in banks at pood salaries.

MILITARY ACADEMY
 ON THE GULF COAST
Location and Environment Ideal for the Training of
 Young Men for Life

The chief problems of a school do not lie in the classrooms Competent teachers are capable of solving all pure ly academic questions that arise in the classroom.
 Many complex and complicated prob- lems have arisen as a result of the growth of cities. The men of the past generation lived in thinly settled coun- try districts and did not have to meet many temptations that have arisen from mass living. The distractions of the movies, the automobile and the modern dance are constantly calling the mind of a growing boy away from the proper mental development, and his character is being marred. The business of today is so pressing that the father has little time to devote to comradeship with his son, and the mother is caught up in the whirl of society and swept aw4y from home As result the boy is be- ing reared by proxy amid manifold temp tations. The parents are not able to pline is attempted it comes as a result of impatience and results in harm and estrangement.
 The Gulf Coast Military Academy is located five miles away from the near est town. and the cadets are free from the distraction of city life. Every min ute of the day is spent in academic, military or athletic duties. so that a boy is free from habits of loafing around poolrooms or drug stores Free from all the distractions of city life, his mind becomes accustomed to habits of con- centration on the task at hand He really learns how to study.

An Anglo-American Union

George Mclean Harper, in the Yale 1 Review.
 1 In case the bolshevists fail to re- unite Russia, there will be a line of small and exceedingly feeble nations ad- Joining the frontiers of eastern Ger many, from Switzerland to the Gulf | Of Findland. These will constitute a broken field for German political and comercial penetration, and we may In a few years find ourselves con ironted by union of Central Europe which, in size at least will be greater than Inc old combination of Germany
 and Austria. If the economic system ot such union should give a satis-
 faction to the demands of working
 men and women for share in the control or business, it would be the
 most powerful combination on earth ana would soon spread through Russia
 and Siberia to the Pacific and through
 the Balkans and possibly Italy. to the mediterranean. Then an Anslo-
 American union would become a ne- cesslty if we would maintain our po-
 htical ideals and economic standards.
 To the general statement that fn-
 Gio-American union is desirable and Feasible, even if not necessary, let 1t Tot be objected that because an ideal seems to be severed by some ap- rarentiy insuperable obstacle from the realm of achievement we should therefore be foolish to entertain 1t. Imagining the things to be desired prepares the mind for a prompt de- clsion when occasion offers. Imagin- ation and choice are what form a char acter The noblest uality in race or man is the capacity for taking a sympathetic interest in things not directly connected with selfish adven- ture; obJectivity, it might be called. on its purely intellectual side, and dis interestedness, on its moral side. The possession of this quality is a mark of both real goodness and real great ress. It is magnanimity, and in its
 more elaborate manifestations it is the basis of culture The world would gain by Anglo American union. which would necessarily be loose and flexi- ble and founded on broad lines of Justice. International relations all over the world would be stabilized Democracy everywhere would take heart. Universal peace would be at
 last possible. A great example O: mutual concession of the renounce- ment of small interests for the sake of large principles, would have been granted to the longing eyes of all men.

1 The entire faculty is composed of col lege graduates of experience who have dedicated their lives to the calling of teaching. Men with professional pride are employed, and not novices who are using teaching as stepping stone to something else. The classes are small so that each cadet is given an oppor- tunity to recite each day. Special night school and Monday school are given de- lihauents.
 handsome brick academic and ad- ministraton building is nearing comple- tion and will be ready for the fall open- ing. The building is modern in every session.
 Four hundred and twenty-five cadets from seventeen states, the District of Columbia and nine foreign countries at tended the academy last session.
 The academy has a separate and dis tinct junior department for boys under If years of age. The senior department has capacity for 900 cadets and the ju- nior 100 cadets.

gins to rebel against parental discipline. He thinks his parents are ''od fogies' because they require certain things. Discipline to be effective must be inn personal. All reports for infraction of discipline in a military academy are handed through military channels and finally come before the commandant who sits as an impassioned. impartial judge. and the culprit knows he is to get absolute justice. If you want a law abiding citizen and not bolshevist, send your son to the Gulf Coast Military Academy during his stormy period of unrest and rebellion.
 The outdoor life of this great open air school will develop a perfect physiade. The cadets sleep on screened porches the year round and engage in all forms of military, naval il athletic drills. Sleeping and piayir in the salt-laden breezes from the gulf will result in dsease-proof bodies. Lfhe military and naval departments are supervised by government officers. The mass athlet- ics are under the direction of a coach trained in mat speciality. A junior unit of the R. O. T. C. is maintained by tn academy.

From Henry James," Second Paper. by
 Edmund Gosse. in the Scribner
 The record of the last months of Henry. James, life is told in the wonderful let- ters that he wrote between the beginning of August 1914 and the close of Novem- Der. 1915. He was at Rye when the war broke out. but he found 1t absolutely im- possible to stay there without daily com mun.catton with friends in person. and. contrary to his lifelong habit. he came posting up to London in the midst of the burning August weather. He was trans ngured by the events of those early weeks. overpowered, and yet. in his vast and generous excitement, himself over towering.

before him. The plunge of civilization Into the abyss of blood and darkness by the wanton feat of these two infamous autocrats' made him suddenly realize that the quiet years of prosperity which had preceded 1914 had been really, as he put It, "treacnerous," and that their per- fidy had left us unprotected against the tragic terrors which now faced our world It was astonishing how great Henry James suddenly seemed to become

Prof. Stephen A. Ellis, the promoter of this college, was born in the foot, hills of the Appalachian range of noun tains in north Alabama about half a cen- tury ago. After finishing in the public schools of his county, he went to the Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, Ala seeking a higher education. He taught school some years after leaving Auburn then married.
 Feeling the necessity for special train- ing to fit himself for greater success in the school room, he attended the Pea body Normal College at Nashville, Tenn, taking with-4him his wife and two chil- dren.
 Here at this famous institution he earnestly devoted himself to master the art of pedagogy. Very well did he equip himself as the sequel of his life shows
 After teaching in the rural schools for over twenty-four years, he began an out door travelling life lasting over four years. working in building up business colleges in southern cities
 Seeing the great need for training our young men in business methods, in order to meet the urgent demands of the grow ing city of Birmingham, he opened up the Spencer Business Commercial College in this city.

Character Of Work By the
 Spencer Business College
By N. II. FEAGIN

I 1914, this college with meager outfit of six typewriters, one dozen chairs and four tables, has grown marvelously. To- day this school is amply supplied with, typewriters, combined adding, posting and billing machine, dictaphone, and all the paraphernalia of a first-cass busi- ness college, with large number of stu dents from Alabama and neighborins states.
 His many students by reason of their splendid training are successfully hold ing high, responsible positions In some Of the largest manufacturing corpora
 tons and mercantile houses in the city
 and district.
 Prof. Ellis has demonstrated that he

 pedagogy, but an inventor in designing d chart by which double-entry bookkeeping Is so clearly visualized that children. ten

 struction.
 His lucid methods and clarifying chart
 tends to enthuse his pupils and deepen their interest in and love for the beau
 ties in the science of correct accounting. His students not only eagerly grasp and master the reasons for the debit and credit side of the ledger, but the clear purpose and object of the loss and gain accounts, in showing at all times the solvency or insolvency of going busi- ness.
 He has given them the simplest and most easily acquired shorthand system known It follows as night the days that his pupils are elated with their easy acquisitions of those requisites for de- slrable bookkeepers typewriters and sterographers.
