In connection with the development of Sunday school work in the state, it is interesting to note that Miss Bose in many respects has been the moving. guiding spirit, a pioneer as it were, to pave the way for new acco mplish- ments, especially for boys and girls, as She was the first superintendent ever employed for young peoples work in the south
 YOUNG PEOPLES WORK
 This work interests nae greatly" said Miss Bose. Tt is wonderfully constructive.
 You know" she continued, young people are going to be busy about something all the time And the whole trouble is that when the church has criticised them severely it has not of- fered them a substitute that appeals to them, particularly in directing and administering to their social life" Young people, to my mind, have been more criticised than they have been furnished with constructive leadership. and believe this in one thing our churches are waking up to, especially through the Sunday School associa- tion.
 GREAT FIELD
 This is special feature of our work in Birmingham" Miss Bose continued. We have a tremendous field here. but we also have the brightest prospects Tor future development. Our force of trained workers is unusually large and enthusiastic compared with other cities, and l think I may say we are excep- tionally blessed in the business men on our board of directors who give so much time thought and loyalty to the work"
 some of these loyal Sunday school workers of whom Miss Bose spoke are the general officers of the Birmingham association, numbering A. L. Smith, chairman board of directors; W. H. Stockham, president; J. A. Smith, vice president; w. L. Howard, financial sec retary; Ed s. Moore. treasurer, and the following directors: W. B. Bridge, c. s. Bissell, F. F. Ballard, J. L. Camp bell, F. A. Eubanks, Mant Hood, Leroy Holt, C. R. Johnson, D. H. Marbury, E. Y. Linthicum, Judge Hugh Locke, I. w. Pittman, pr. J. H. Phillips, Charles R. Plosser Jay Smith. O. L. Stephenson. w. F. Tyler.
 CLEARING HOUSE ASSOCIATION
 The Birmingham Sunday School as sociation is not any sort of close cor poration," Miss Bose explained "It is made up ofISunday school wrkers of all denominations. We want them to know that the association belongs to them that 1t does not belong to me as sec retary. nor to the board of directors. It IS an organization for the Sunday school people of the city clearing house, for methods and plans. The busi. ness of the association is to render as- sistance to every Sunday school in lems''

 Birmingham has the reputation of be- ing the leading Sunday school city in the world. Now everybody knows Blr- mingbam is the leading city in the south in many respects; is one of the lady cities of the United States, in some re- spects, but to be the leading city of this mundane sphere in such splendid respect as Miss Freda Bose claims makes che "sit up and take notice of the ex- ceptional work being done by Birming- ham Sunday schools, doesn't it?
 The good part is, Miss Bose knows whereof she speaks. She has devoted time. and thought, and effort to Sunday school work; has studied the Sunday school fields of the world And since Birmingham is fortunate enough to welcome her as general secre- tary of the Birmingham Sunday school association to succeed Miss Myra Bat chelder, she enters her new field aware of the difficulties, but with rose-colored glasses at hand to discover the optimistic viewpoint
 | Upon first acquaintance with Miss Bose, her diffidence, and that low sweet voice, "a most excellent thing in woman pro- claim that she halls from way down South in Dixie,' Mobile, to be exact, where she was so successful with the work of the graded union, she was soon called upon to accept the superintendency of the teacher training work of that city. From this field she found the county work was but a step, then into the wora of the state Sunday school association where Miss Bose was interested in pro- motion of activities in various counties of Alabama
 BIRMINGHAM LEADING Referring to the fact that Birmingham is the leading Sunday school city in the world, Miss Bose further stated:
 'There are more Sunday school at tendants here in proportion to the white population than in any other city in the world. The people of Chicago. thought they were making a record when l,2lo people attended their school of methods but for five years Birmingham has numbered between 1,500 to 2,oo0 attendants annually
 "Besides," added Miss Bose ,"Bir- lmipgham was the first city that had an Older Girls council. Such work was organized here It is also the first city in the south to have an employed secretary giving full time to the work, 1 and is the first city that put on training camp programme: Kansas City at the present being the only other engaged in such constructive wcrk."
 ALABAMA ORGANIZES MOVEMENTS
 Not only for Birmingham, but Tor Alabama, too often counted third from the bottom in illiteracy, Miss Bose had | a top-notch word of announcement. "The first statewide Girls council | in the world was held in Alabama. in lOpelika." she informed "and the first statewide Older Boys council in the south was in Alabama at Selma"

SENTIMENT MUST SUPPORT LAW

A LETTER has been received here from news
paper man in which many questions were asked
concerning the term OF federal court which pre-
sided over by Judge John c. Pollock.
The sentiment prevails that the court was too
lenient with offenders against the VolSead liquor
act.
The inquirer asked ii the term OF court resulted
in encouragement OF liquor violations and followed
Up BY stating that it wa, learned that Ardmore had
on cleanup campaign and asked OF he progress
that is being made.
1t is quite probable that reports OF liquor viola
lions in Ardmore have been magnifed. The chances
are that there are not more violations here than in
other cities OF the same size and with the same
surroundings. And Ardmorc is not the only city
in the that is now crying out for better en-
iorcement.
