sense" said a man who is
close observer of the social con-
ditions of the city.
"One of the strongest in
stinct of normal man is the
social instinct. He likes to meet
and mingle with his fellow man;
to know others and to have
known. This trait is particularly
we'll marked in Richmond. AS
a result of it we have numerous
civic organizations, a large num-
ber of churches, heavy member
ship in score of lodges. and a
a general fellowship quite dis
tinct throughout the city.
This feature is not a selfish
one either, as can be seen by the
divers activities of all the differ
ent organizations. Active par
ticipation in charity work, civic
affairs, politics and other forms
OF community bettermen is the
record of virtually every institu-
ton.
''At times it seems as if the
interests of some cross. and
there is considerable beating
around the BUSH" but all of this
is a contributing factor to an
even better Richmond"

FANNIE HURST'S "AROUND
THE CORNER''-GALAX

The keen and kindly sympathy of
Fannie Hurst, the well-known writer
of short stories, in dealing with the
subject of her fellow man, is dis
played in her simple story, around
the Corner" now at the Ga1ax in
picture version.
around the Corner" is something
different from the usual mother-love
story, though it has been spoken OF
as mainly that. The reviewer would
say that it is more the simple ro-
nance of a girl, Mas" daughter
There is no keener drama than the
story of mother worrying over her
innocent and ignorant girl out on
the streets of the great city, liv-
ing the modern hurried life, picking
her friends up here and there.
In this story the girl is a chorus
girl, not because she loves the foot
lights, but so that mother and
brother can open that little pay en-
velope when the time comes around.
The chorus girl in the big city often
cannot choose the companionship she
would like, but must take what
chances her way. Our subject is
thrown with a ticket shark and
grows to admire him extravagantly.
But there is one thing about the
ticket shark, he will never go to her
home to sit about the little table
that mother has fixed so often for
them. Why won't he?
The working out of this simple
situation involves much drama and
peep into human nature and the
nature of two men of opposite types
in particular, that can only be fur
nished by great author.

VALUATION TARIFF
PLAN TO Be HEARD
Former Congressman MorTi-
son to Talk to Clubs in
January

Owing to the interest in Industrial
circles In the tariff plan of the Amer
lean Valuation association, and fol-
lowing acceptance of invitation of
the dinner clubs to have repre-
sentative OF the association mora
fully explain tho plan. Martin A.
Morrison, former Indiana congress
man, viii visit Birmingham in jan
uary and address tho various clubs
on the subject.
His first address will be to the Ki-
wants club on January II. and he
will address other clubs and assoeia-
lions during that week.
This information is conveyed to O.
J.. Bum, manager OF the Chamber Of
Commerce. by II. A. Phillips, chair
man of the speakers bureau of the
association.
General plan OF the association, It
Is understood, Is to base tariff
charges on a reasonable profit for
American goods, making it high
enough to prevent dumpage OF for
eign goods at prices that will deny
profit to the American manufacturer.
For instance, German nails have been
offered recently at Galveston, New
Orleans and other gulf ports at less
than cost OF products at Blrming-
ham mills.

TEACHERS EXAMS
ARE BEING HELD
Smallest Number of Appli-
Giants in YearS-0therS in
Extension Work

with the smallest number of appl-
cants for many years on hand to take
the examinations. the annual three
day examinations for teachers Ger
tificates opened yesterday morning
with tests for white teachers belnS
held in Judge Dan A. Greene's court
room under the direction of Prof. E.
b. Erwin, assistant superintendent of
county schools and for negro appli-
cants at the Thomas school under the
direction of Prof. r. G. Hewitt
When the examinations opened only
SO white applicants were on hand and
80 negroes. The examinations viii
continue through Wednesday, School
officials expressed themselves as be-
ing encouraged rather than discour-
aged by the small number of applt-
cants. while this is the smallest
number We have ever had in num-
Der of years" Professor Erwin said.
1T is an encouraging rather than
| discouraging sign. Instead of show
ing that interest in teaching is on the
| wane it shows exactly the opposite.
The small number Of applicants is
| due to the great interest being shown
in the university extension and nor
NAL courses, which teachers can take
| and thereby eliminate the necessity
of standing these examinations In
the county school system we-have ap-
proximately 600 teachers taking the
| professional training courses which
when completed gives them sufficient
credit to remove the necessity for
their taking the state examinations"
DR.. N. r. Baker superintendent of
county schools, also expressed him
self as being pleased at the small
number of applicants, for the same
reason. Two hundred white teachers
of the county. he said, were talking
| the university extension courses
while so teachers were taking courses
\ at Howard college and 40 at Birming
| ham Southern. BY taking these
courses, he said, they secured credits
and do not have to take the state ex-
] aminations.
