Alabama Improve Colored Schools.

Alabama Improve Colored Schools.
The state Board of Education OF
Alabama has provided "at ieast
$4,000" for county training schools
for colored teachers, and for INDUS
trial supervisions for the comlng
school year. The county boards bear
the main expense, giving nearly dou-
BILE the states appropriation to the IA
Slator and the Vocational Endowment
Finds each contribute $1,000 to the
same schools.
The state board also employs a col
ored state supervisor OF teachef-
training. and colored llllteracy
worker. Five six-weeks' summer
schools for teachers were held this
wear with a total attendance OF over
800. The General Education Board
supplemented these efforts by sending
IS teachers to the .Tuskegee Summer
School, and 25 industrial teachers to
the school at Hampton. The lllltera-
cv worker covered the 25 counties
having Jeanes industrial teachers.
Four-Weeks schools were held by the
co-operation of state and county
boards.
The Home Makers Clubs, aided by
! the General Education Board IN

Planting Trees.

The forest resources of the coun.
try are fast being depleted. Every
one who own any land should plant
trees. Good observers say that at
least one-tenth of every farm ought
te be devoted to timber.
Even the man who owns village
lot should plant, not merely because
the tree will beautify his lot, but
because the time will come when
they will have a good deal Of value
for fuel if nothing else. In France
trees are so scarce that the peasants
trim off every few years the branch
cs Of their roadside and other trees.
1t may come TO that here.

WAGE Reductions Begins.

1t is reported form Chicago that
several textile mills in New England
have put into effect wage reduction
of Is to 20 per cent. The cuts were
accepted by the employees in order to
keep to work. The refusal of the pur-
chasing public to buy at high prices
and the wholesale cancellation OF
orders closed up some of the mills,
reduced others to part time and let
the workers with high wage scales
but no Jobs. In many instances the
rs per cent cut wipes out a Is pei
cent raise the workers gained last
June when the mills were going at tor
speed on untitled orders.
