 "The department of education is in a sense a new chair in university
 life, having some fifteen years only of precedent" said Dr. Cooper, in
 speaking of his work, and it's object is to give professional training to the teacher, You understand that there was a time when teaching was not looked upon as a profession, but the department of education has spread
 out and broadened it's work in every ing not only a profession, but an art. "The specific purpose of the chair of education at the Birmingham- Southern College" he continued, lis to establish correct methods of teach ing in all the various departments; as
 for instance English; when it should be taught. how it should be taught. why it should he taught and what should be taught. Science, mathe- ! matics and all other branches of Fundamental education are included in
 the work and in the case of mathe-
 matics the main object of the work is 1 pointing out what should not be taught rather than what should be, as there
 is so much that is unnecessary in this 1 particular branch which the student | is often compelled to wade through. History, philosophy, psychoiogy-every 1 branch of learning-has it's own par
 ticular method as devised by the de-
 partment of education--in other words. l 1t is the process of teaching the stu dent how to teach tfr different
 branches.
 "At Birmingham Southern we have
 a fine lot of young men, many of them [ brilliant, with studious minds and I great ambition to excel, and I don't l know of any institution which has be. ! fore it more significant future than i this great Methodist college" said pr. | Cooper.

@ ACK wonder somewhere l remem- l0 Der reading something that W James Russel Lowell wrote in which he speaks of the work that there is in the world for every man to do if he will.
 The lines run something like this; "No man is born into the world whose
 work
 Is not born with him. There IS always
 work,
 And tools to work withal, for those
 who will; And blessed are the horny hahos oi

 was thinking of this sentiment the other day after I had engaged ln d most delightful talk with pr. Robert Franklin Cooper. who occupies the chair of education at Birmingham Southern College. for it is with sueh things Dr. Cooper deals-such condl- ,ions-going even a step further Tn his mental tests and measurements to find the age of the child and suit ing the life work of the child to his

 Dr. Cooper spent his early life in centervil1e Bibb county, Alabama, from fhere going to Washington and Lee University, where he received his ..hacbelor's' and masters" degree, winning the James J. White scholar shin in Greek and the Robinson prize in ancient and modern languages
 The degree of doctor of philosophy was conferred upon him from Johns Honkins University in 1908, and he was fellow in Greek" under the noted Greek scholar and teacher, Dr. Basil L' Gildersleeve.
 My first experience as professor pr. Cooper told me, was at the Jack sonville (Alabama) State Normal School where l taught ancient and modern languages. Then for two years I served as principal of the Bibb County High School, which had the reputation of being the best county high school in the state of Alabama. Later as professor of Secondary ea- ucation" at the University of Alabama where Dr. Cooper is a member or the Phi Beta Kappa Society, he travelled ever, the state, visiting and inspecting high schools and from 1912 to 1918 he held the Peabody professorship of edu- cation at the university.

 There are opportunities in Russia that up to now only Japan has seen.

Mir Spargo points out that while Japan aspires to succeed Germany in hegemouy over Russa-and he gives documentary evidence to prove that she does-it is really to America that Russia's eyes are

"FIRE OF YOUTH"


 By Henry James Forman. Frontispiecs

 Co.,, Publishers, Boston.
 Fire of Youth was the name given a certain family heirloom, a ruby pen dant, which Anthony Vests dying moth- CT game her son, to be handed on to his wife. But young Anthony's thoughts were not of wives, and the impulse of youth to see the world and the urge of ambition drove him forth from his home town to New York There, swept off his feet by youths first love and passion, he bestowed the ruby on woman cheap and, unworthy. When he awoke to her real character. she had fled with the jewel Disillusoned, disgusted with self, the jewel became symbol in his mind and he felt the necessity of resaining it that he might keep faith with the fine women of his family who had been it's keepers, and thus in some measure regain his own self-respect. So he start ed on his search for the pendant search which took him to Europe and back, which gave him glimpses of hap piness only to disappoint him again and again.
 How Anthony finally wins through to fine manhood, with a clear vision Of his own duties and privileges, is worked out with skill and subtlety. The character ization in the book is one of it's notiI- able qualities and this is balanced by interesting incident and action. Fire of | Youth is strong story of the romance 1 and idealism in mans soul from his impetuouS youth to the well-balanced, controlled boise of his mature years.
