SA n ISS LULA BRADFORD, library Wl supervisor of the city public ON9 schools. has finished a course of lectures given before the mothers and teachers of children un- der 12 years of age, at the school of methods of the Birmingham Sunday School association, which closed yes terday.
 Miss Bradford delightfully."- treated in her lectures. of the interest, char acteristics and needs of children; showing that the child is the same at home, in school and in Sunday school and the same principles apply to them In all three places.
 In gathering material for these talks she has had thousands of chil- dren in the primary grades write to her, telling her of the things they like best and what they most want to do. Her course of lectures, telling of the needs of these same children, are thus based on life instead of books.

 Though closing yesterday. it is hoped that an outgrowth of the school of methods will be number of neighborhood and community schools throughout the city. Miss Bradford has been asked to continue her work In child psychology in con nection with these community schools which are to bo formed,
