COUNTY TEACHERS ORGANIZE GROUP
 READING CIRCLES

Ten districts in Jefferson county are organized by the county board of edu- cation into group reading circles. at which the teachers who care can avail themselves of the opportunity to study for promotion to higher grades.
 Each circle Is given a professional course of instruction and each teacher must attend at least 25 hours before given a certificate. Scores of Jeffer- son county teachers are ayailing themselves of the chance for advance ment, and E. B. Erwin, assistant coun- ty superintendent, is pleased with the reports brought in Saturday by teach CTS who came to Birmingham and called by the office of the county superin- tendent,
 MT Erwin says that there is a feel ing of distinct loss among the teach CTS over the death of State Historian Thomas M. owen, which has been ex- pressed to him by many of the county teachers, who knew MT. owen person. ally, because he was in position to be of so much assistance to them In their work.

STATE URGED TO
 AID IN BUILDING
 BIG RIVER BRIDGES
Jesse E. Hearin Points Out That Such Projects Will Benefit the Entire State

strong movement is under way to induce the state highway department
 to assist in building bridges across the ground that such bridges benefit not
 only the immediate territory but the entire state. Jesse B. Hearin has writ ten the following on the subject. Alabama Highway Department, Mont gomery, Ala:
 Gentlemen. Some weeks ago the Montgomery Advertiser had a very strong editorial advocating that bridges across main rivers in Alabama be con structed by the state highway depart ment and charged to the state as whole instead of being taxed against adjoining counties. l am sure that this view meets with approval of nearly all thoughtful people, for surely bridge across a great river like the Alabama river leading to Montgomery, or over the Tombigbee river. connecting west Alabama with the rest of the state, should not be considered a local project. If such were the case, 1t Is probable that such streams would never be bridged, because our counties arc not rich enough to afford to have their en- tire proportionate amount of the funds used to build q bridge that would serve
 
 as the nation There certainly should be a bridge across the Alabama river leading to Montgomery, and there Is |, even more reason why there should be bridge across the Tombigbee river.
 From Tuscaloosa to Mobile, practically a distance of 400 miles, there is not a bridge, and from Demopolis to Jack son, Ala, on the Tombigbee river. a distance of practically 150 miles. there Is not even a railroad that crosses the river.
 Surely. road builders will look to providing a way for the people to go from one section of the state to the other without having to use the uncer- ] tain, slow and dangerous ferry boat The people of the Demopolis section have already raised a very considera- ble sum of money which they do not | seek to apply on a selfish local project by constructing a bridge immediately
 opposite Demopols, but which they expect to apply to bridge located at the proper and logical point for gem eral highway across the state of Ala bama. which bridge would be located at Moscow ferry. II miles south of De- mopolis Marengo and Sumter counties could not afford to yield a sufficient amount of money that comes to these counties to supplement the fund al- ready raised by citizens of this sec tion. and we feel sure that the people of the entire state would approve ac- ton of the state highway department In appropriating sufficient amount of money to add 10 the sum already raised by the Demopolis section to bridge the Tombigbes at Moscow. Yours very truly, JESSE B. H EAR1N."

While Tending Goats Young
 Boys Acquire Much Learning

Milk goats graze on the Ensley pub lie library campus while their young keepers improve their minds
 Tony Portorici, age ', and Charlie Finochio, age 8. had heard of the won ders of the children's room at the library but it seemed that these won ders were to be forever denied them. Instead of going with the other chill cren to the library after school hours, they found that their lot was cast with the family milk goats in the neigh horhood grazing plots.
 Day after day they listened to the strange tales their school fellows told, tales of fairyland and tales of real land, all out of the books in the chill dren's room at the library.
 Then one fine day Tony and Charlie realized just what the grass that grew one the library green might mean to them. This realization had a short life as an abstract Idea, It became action,

SOCIAL WORKERS TO
 HAVE 100 DELEGATES
 TO N. o. CONVENTION

Birmingham delegates to the na- tionaI conference of social workers at New Orleans must number 100.
 This is the aim of the Birmingham Association of Social Workers, in the attainment of which they have enlisted the aid of the Civic Association.
 The national conference, which Is to be held this year on April 14-21 at New Orleans, has been brought to the south to secure the southern atmos- ahere to aid to the discussion of south ern social problems. At this gathering every phase of social work in the United States will be discussed by ex- perts.
 Mrs. W. s. Murdock. local social worker. was in conference with the secretary of the Civic Association Sat urday as to how they might best get the desired 100 delegates from Bir- miugham.
 The tentative programme of the con- ference. which was received in Err mingham during the past week. shows that special attention will be given southern problems, and that large number of Alabama speakers will ad- dress the meetings. Prominent among inc expert lecturers will be Mrs. Tor raine B. Bush, who will tell the con- ference How Alabama Organized for Child Welfare Work"

and before those goats had had more than two good nibbles in the pasture chosen for the afternoon they were rushing as fast as their spindly little legs could carry them in the direction of the library.
 From mixture of excited gestures. voluble descriptions of a long chain and doubtful word paintings of tether- ing spikes Miss Margaret Calfee, the librarian finally extracted their plan. She entered into 1t enthusiastically, and she reports that they have read dozens of books. They tether the goats. then rush into the children's room, get the books they want, and out again to sit for hours reading and minding their goats.
 one little boy who felt that he was being left out of something exciting said he had no goat, but he thought his dog would like to graze on the | Library campus. Anxiously he produced dog, chain and spike as evidence

Depite Police Regulation
 We StiHHaUe the Jay Walker
By SARAH OWENS

even in crowds of three. Seldom do they land-as they started. Two min utes after starting one may be seen on the other side frantically clutching at her hat, another has sought the po- liceman for refuge, and the third has found safe retreat at the starting point. From their respective positions the three are engaged in wigwagging for the next few minutes.
 A member of the tribe of jay-walkers may be known by his invention of ru- merous other devices that. like this one, attract the attention of the pub lie to himself. He is the individual who walks down the street on the left hand side, running into every one he meets. dividing couples and making the carrying of a package a marvellous achievement.
 He is never known to have a nickel in change when he decides to board a car His fellowmen must walt on the step or crowd the entrance while the conductor gives him the change for a five dollar bill.
 The hahitual jay-walker thinks he is saving time and getting ahead of the other man who waits for the police mans signal and then goes along the two sides of the triangle instead of taking the hypothenuse. Nine cases out of ten the saving Is more imagi- nary than real. for more often than not he has to make runs from the side walk. or finds himself stranded in the middle of the street. where he Is forced to remain till the entire line of traffic has passed. Or if he saves few minutes for himself he has caused a line of traffic a minutes de- lay and the interested spectators the loss of the second 1t takes to watch him at his perilous accomplishment.
 As result of careful study of this habit of jay-wallxing and it's conse- quences, the city commissioners pro- posed some months ago the resolution for lis aholishment
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-29

Jay-walking is still prevalent in Birmingham. despite an ordinance passed some time ago to the effect that mo pedestrians while travelling any street, avenue or highway, shall cross except at regular crossings or at designated points in the centers of tlocks."
 Yesterday afternoon in one half hour a casual observer on the corner Of Nineteenth street and Third avenue counted eighteen jay-walkers. The term jay-walking Is not in the dic- tlonary as yet, so 1t may be necessary to explain that 1t Is the term applied to the practice of making ones way spasmodically across the street at an angle somewhere near forty-five de- grees,. either at a corner or in the mid dle of block. The result of this ac- tivity Is successful jay-walking or an accident
 Yesterday afternoon, due to the obliging natures of the chauffeurs, truckmen and street car conductors who preferred to make a sudden stop or Jam their cars against the curb rather than run down one of these jay-walk- CTS. there was no accident. although there were several near tragedies. The number of adventurers who landed on the other side, breathless but safe, in- creased as the minutes passed. one Jay-walking nearly succeeded in fur nishing the papers with headline. He finally escaped from his perilous posi- tion by retreating to the pavement from which he started, no more dam age having been done than the scat tering of his bundles, the smash-up of lis hat and the discontinue of sew eral of his fellow nedestrians
 Jay walking is not entirely mas culine privilege. The special pecu- liarity of women jay-wallSers is to com plicate matters by carrying on anil mated conversations on the way across Their clIStom is tn start in hairs or
