COUNTY TEACHERS
 INSTITUTE OPENS
 AT BOYLES SCHOOL
Opening Session Featured By Addresses of Noted Edu- catorS--Baker Outlines
 Plans for the Year

The Jefferson County Teachers in- stitute met yesterday morning at s;So o'clock in the Jefferson County High
 school at Boyles, and after enroll .
 ment started into the institute work.
 The morning was featured by inter esting addresses by prominent educa-
 tors, Of the county and state.
 R. E. Tidwell, assistant state su-
 perintendent of education made an
 address on Policies of the State De- partment," in which he outlined the
 policies of the state as 1t affected the teachers. He gave brief history of
 the ideas of education and of the in-
 fluences that govern the organization
 and unifcation of the school systems
 in the state and nation.
 The exchange of reports and dis
 cussion of various matters by the county uperintendents, the educa-
 tional magazines and the desire for better educational facilities he de- clared were largely responsible for
 the unfication of the old systems and formation of the present modern system.
 Superintendent N. F. Baker spok @ seriously, 1t seemed of teaching as a profession and mentioned the trials and vexations of many teachers, and especially those of the teachers Of geography, who during their travels over the world passed the Cape of Good Hope at 20, Cape Lookout at 25, Anxiety at 30, Fear at 40, and Fare well at 90.
 Duties of Teachers
 J. D. Moore, president of the county board of education, spoke chiefly of the duties of the teachers and the g.
 mIll tax. He stated that 75 per cent
 of the professional men and women
 were born and reared in the rural districts. and that it was the duty of the rural teacher to preserve the dig nity of the profession, to be CO., workerawith the church, and have as a final aim better buildings, more equipment, anG after equipment bet ter teachers. who will stay with the
 work.
 Charles l.. West, a member of the county board of education. made a
 short talk In which he discussed some
 of the many problems encountered in the transportation of children to SchoolS, ana declared that the great est stimulant for better service
 among rural teachers was a home and happy surroundings
 Dr. J, s. Thomas. director of ex- tension of the University of Alabama, offered extension courses to the teachers, and spoke of the amount of
 time spent in going to summer schools
 and having their certificates extend- ed while he stated they should be
 studying for degree.
 Plan for Year

 coming year and gave instructions as
 to their execution. He gave brief i history of the Latin grammar | schools, academies and high schools,
 what was taught and their develop
 ment stating that what was needed
 for the present day was only the
 dem ocratic high school as a basis. l Miss Margaret McAdory also spoke | in the afternoon upon Visual Educa .
 tion," and was assisted by the screen.

! iginia. Wisconsin, Iowa--all of these states prospered under their usu- fruct.
 Railroads Prospered Alabama later, as a result of a statewide fight in which the rail roads practiced every subornng de- bauchery, adopted and tried these rates for a series of times, and all, fboth business, people and railroads prospered.
 | "So, 1 say, addressing the state ad- fminlstration and the public service commi ssion, addressing the inter fstate commerce commission, address [ ing the courts. even the courts of { last resort. these rates that are about ! to come up in Alabama again are not individual, are not revolutionary, are not confiscatory, but have proven in the usufruct of years and years and in states and states that with them both people and railroads will build and build together.
 They claim that the business of the people is subject to a railroad tax sufficient to pay interest on re- production costs, etc, of railroad properties There is no such law. economic or otherwise, nor could Shere be such law. It is inadmis- sible every principle of political economy is against 1t; every princi- rle in the dealings between people Is , against it.
 Far-Reaching Tax
 The people of Alabama recently were greatly agitated over their do- mestic taxes. 1 assure you, the people, that the present railroad tax is tax more far-reaching, more in- ! gathering, more hurtful than any | state tax commission ever levied or 1 could levy. We recognize that the state administration, the state com mission, realizes that the war is over and that war freight tax rates should be getting over. The federal govern i ment is proposing to fast reduce the war tax.
 The price of every railroad oper- ating cost has either been reduced or Is being fast reduced, or should be being fast reduced; that there is no possible excuse. with deflation in every product of the farmer running that there should not be an equiva- lent reduction in the wartime freight tax rates.
 These wartime freight taxes are { direct charge on every production and consumption. It is direct charge on every business from the cross roads store to the biggest man ufacturer. and to every man in Ala bama. to every merchant and manu- facturer in Alabama. It is important that this question be aeitated right lnow and settled right now with the | interests of the people preserved, because on this depends their future prosperity and welfare
