Beautiful and touching was the
memorial service conducted yester-
day afternoon to the memory OF Mrs.
N. A. Barrett and Mrs. J. H. Phillips.
The former was chairman of the
Third district in 1915 and Mrs.
Phillips was president of the Ala
bama Federation of Women's clubs
in 1910.
Mrs. Chappell Cory paid tribute to
Mrs. Barrett in these sentiments:
Her heart and hand were ever
open to the needs of the unfortunate.
She was one of the founders and
members of the Pierian club of East
Lake. Her wise counsel was always
SO helpful in times of decision. Much
as she served her clubs, she served
her church more ardently. Ruhama
Baptist church will never see a more
beautiful sight than whom files of
little children who loved her marched
in and surrounded her bier, half fill
ing the ediflce. 1t was mute tribute
to the love she had won. She was
ever an inspiration to children, and
though she had none of her own, she
loved them"

Miss Gladys Eyrich of Jackson, Miss,
who was invited TO Tuscaloosa by the
board of education for the purpose
of arousing interest among the par
ents and school children for better
care of the teeth of the children in
our public schools.
Miss Eyrich is a teacher of excep
tional ability, an organizer. and
lecturer. She is enthusiastic, knows
her subject, and was appreciated by
the large number of parents who
heard her last night.
Education changes rapidly" stat
ed Miss Eyrich. "a few years ago
we were satisfied with a little red
schoolhouse and curriculum COW
ering the three RS, but today we
are endeavoring to give the child
a training that will make possible
happy. intelligent and prosperous
life.
The state has a compulsory ed
ucation law but not physical educa-
ton law. The physical development
of the child is a community prob
lem and one of the big problems in
the physical development of the child
is poor teeth. One OF the first causes
of malnutrition is poor teeth. If
the teeth of a child can be kept
sound until he or she is 20 years old
little trouble will result in later life"

has volunteered to examine the
mouths of all children free.
