LAW COURSE MADE
 FULL TIME STUDY
Birmingham Southern Now Has Full Academic Addl-
 ton in New Charge

Birmingham Southern college law department has not only come 10 stay. but has swung into line with the big law schools of the United States. and will in future be rated as a day school. The change was de- c.ded upon at recent meeting of the faculty. presided over by Judge Hugh A. Locke. dean.
 As originally planned. the school was to run in the evenings only. suf- ficient study periods having been ar ranged to make up the regular IT, hour-a-week schedule. The demands of full time students. however, and the desire of the school authoritles s to establish the organization on a status second to none in the south, compelled change of plans and the addition of day school curriculum.
 As now arranged thel course com plies with the requirements of the American Law School association, and regularly matriculated students. and will In the future rank its students with those from corresponding ; grades in thedeading law schools of the country.
 In speaking of the improved status of the school, Dr. Guy E. Snavely president of Birmingham-S Southern pointed out that it took more than the mere addition of school hour s during the day time.
 We had to organize a permanent, resident teaching staff. These men comprising the staff will probably teach half of the listed subjects, most of their time being devoted to school work" said Dr. Snavely.
 A large group of part-time lec- turers are included on the list. Some of them are Judge Hugh A. Locke, ceap: David J. Davis, Edmund II. Dryer, Trenton K. Fisk. Crampton Harris. Leo Oberdorfer. James A. Simpson and Henry Howze. Special lecturers will be Judge William l. Grubb. Henry Upton Sims and E. II. Cabaniss.
 Last year was somewhat of an experiment in the law school but now the experimental stage Is over Judging from what we have done so far. we are confident that our school will henceforth occupy recognized position in the educational life of Alabama" said Judge Locke. Concerning the order of instruction the secretary, Sam c. Bowman pointed out that arrangements had been made for the students already enrolled to complete the law course without taking studies fin the day department. This is important for the reason, 1t is said. that more of the students are employed through the day
 Bulletins of the law school may be had on application to Dr. Snsveiy or to the registrar. Eugene Fl. Flaw kins, 2o5 First National Bank build

 One man inquired of the conduc- tor what the company would do If it was known that he passed one passenger without a fare.
 T don't care,a he restorted. Kindness and courtesy even to humble beings pays more than salary, so l should worry"
 Two passengers. one a man. the other a woman, inquired of the conductor his name. but he merely smiled and called out: 'Hillman hospital" as the car came to a stop and the two passengers alighted. Both got his number. however, and the woman re- marked something about courtesy and kindness being akin to some thing, as the South Highlands car continued on the trip.
