may be better pleased, that it is as
1t is.
On Thursdayof fair week went to
Columbia to take in that day at the
fair, and to see the country, too, as
we went by "auto." I enjoyed the
trip there, in part, (and also on the
fair grounds). I saw some good
country, and some poor. But did
not see much from Newberry to our
own county. as that part of the trip
was by headlights. Going, the lights
were turned off away past Whitmire
we were at Whitmire at sunrise
ard returning, the lights were turned
on bit beyond Newberry. We had a
very good peep at Newberry going,
and noted that there are some very
pretty homes there. OF course that
was only in passing through. But the
streets are SO narrow. We sure struck
some awful rough roads. You might
say that if road was we'll graded
and recently scraped it would not be
rough. But. from a few miles below
Newberry to the hard-surfaced road
a few miles below Chapins the land is
red, and the recent rains made the
road bsmpy, and the rocks, oh, and
it was especially rough from Pros
perity to the concrete road. 1t seemed
that one-foudth Of the dirt was rocks,

Whitmire to Newberry, smooth with
very few rocks. That concdete, @,

tnught him What believing meant, or
in Bible terms, they took and taught
him the Word.
Imediately he knew what believing
raeant. He took them the same hour
of the night and washed their stripes.
He had something more practical to
dc than singing hymns. He washed
their stripes. Have you ever done
that? Have you ever righted wrongs
* attempted to do it? The kingdom
of God Is not meat and drink; it is
righteousness, or rightness and L
l,now great many socalled Christ
ians who are more concerned about
peace, joy and assurance than they
are about doing right. Don't talk
about believing until you have done
the. stripe-washing. There is wound
I'd heart somewhere in Gods world
that you toreNto. shreds, and you call
Yourself Christian and yet you have
never taken step backward helping
that broken heart. No sir, your belief,
Or socalled belief is a mockery until
you have don e the stripe-washing.
Some of you have got money in your
possession that does not belong to
you, and you call yourselves church
members. That money must go back
before you are Christians. What do
you believe? What does your belief
amount to? II is not worth the noise
you make over it unless it helps you
to walk humbly with God, and to love
your neighbors as yourself. He took
them the same hour of the night and
washed. their stripes! That is religion.
Undo the past, straighten out the
crooked places. There is a dear old
mother in Gods world that some of
you are starving to death. She is
asking for bread and you are giving
her stone, and You are going to
make up for that by putting flowers
on the casket when she Is too dead to
smell the perfume. Let your mother
feel your love while she is living.
Wash your stripes. Il is time We get
down TO business and straighten out
the crooked places.

new developments in the tropics and
After World War


 After World War
 The industrial development in Ala bama during and just after the World war was Very great and industries here have suffered less during the years of reconstruction than in some other states. People are beginning to see, as their far seeing leaders have long seen, that this is indeed state of unsurpassed resources, put of the kind of resources that require for their development the knowled se and skill and vision and enterprise of large numbers of men educated and trained in many directions. It's tens of thousands of acres of swamp lands; it's 1,500 miles of navigahle streams. It's ocean port and it's mill lions Of potential water power: it's highways to be built under a large variety of conditions; its wide stretches of timber lands and It's great lumber industries. it's billions of tons of coal and iron; it's clays and mar bles and cement materials; it's large industrial cities to be built in the near future-all indicate the large part which the engineer must play in the development of thia state.
 To larger extent than most other states, Alabama must become the state of the trained engineer.
 In the report Of the survey of edu- cation in Alabama, made by the United States bureau of education in 1919 attention is called to the ad- vantage of the location of she uni- vorsity: Short of the location in the imm r%'ate nejghborhood of Bir- mingham Itself, the university could scarcely be better situated for ran inc m ipa the industrial area grows as is an- ticipated. it will inevitably become a center of higher technical training Engineering instruction is coming to be associated more and more with actual engineering epera- ticns. Factories. shops and mines are coming to be for the engineering student what hospital clinics are for the medical student. In it's laboratories and engineering school he Is, of course able to produce the essential conditions of scientific prac- tice necessary to re-enforce theoreti- cal instruction. But it is the sup plemepting of the laboratory y the shop that is on the eve of general adoption. Incidentally, this .endency will relieve the engineering schools of a great burden of expense. The engineering schools. therefore, which is located within an industrial dis trict, has the keys of the future"
 Location of University
 To what Is said about the location of the university in this report, 1t may be added that the university Is on the Warrior river within easy reach of three locks and the Tusca- ioosa river terminal and DOT and

and business men of the south were beginning to see, as Robert E. Lee had seen immediately after the close of the war, that rehabilitation. prog ress and power could come to the southern states, prostrated as they had been by the war, only through scientific and technical training. Ten years before. on July 31, 1871, Ben Jamin H. Hill of Georgia had made at the University of Georgia his great address on education, still worthy of being read by all who have to do with making the public policies of these states. In this ad- dress he declared that we must "es- tablish schools of science and train our children to business and callings other than law, medicine mad theol- ogy." "The first step of upward progress" he declared, "is to build up our universities Our own sons and daughters must be taught to build and operate ma chinery. Furnaces and foundries, studios and shops, must be as hon. orable and abundant as the offices\of the learned professions and they must be filled with our own children. made experts in our own schools of science" Sentiments like these were becoming more common than they had ever been in the south.
 Early Enrollment
 In 1SS3-4. 50 engineering students were enrolled in the four colleges. Four years later there were 55, a larger number than was enrolled in any succeeding year until 1910. From 1893 to 1903 the average enrolment was less than 10. One year 1t dropped to three. In the first 2S years of the college the total number of engineer f,.rr r.t. A Ns l. nior class only 107. The smallness of the enrolment and the lack of growth of the college during these years was probably due to one or all of these things: the fact that the in- dustrial development of the state was largely by outside capital and outside men. who brought engineers from other states and from schools with which they were more familiar, lack of interest in engineering on the part of the faculty and the adminis- trative officials of the university, and lack of a suitable engineering building and adequate equipment. That the last of these was an inn portant factor is indicated by the fact that, since the erection and partial equipment of Conner hall in 1909. the increase in enrolment of engineering students has been rapid and, with the exception of two years. constant For the year just ended the total enroll ment of engineering students was four and one-half times the enroll ment in 1909. the enrolment in the senior class more than 10 times that of 1909. In the last five years the total enrolment has increased 6S per cent, the senior enrollment more than 500 per cent.
 The recent growth of the college
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-07-23

of engineering is, no doubt due also in large measure to three other causes: Recent development of and interest in various phases of engi- neering throughout the world and es- pecially in America the economic and industrial revival in Alabama, and the increasing recognition of the fact that the location of the uni- versity in the midst of Alabama s great industrial district makes it the logical place for the development of great schools in all those phases of engineering that have to do with the development of mines. of coal and iron industries. of the development of water power, of industrial man. agent. and of the building of great industrial cities. and some other phases.

By P. P. CHAMPION

Engineering at the University of Alabama has. like other parts of its work, come in response to the felt needs and the demands of the people of the state.
 Half a century after the opening of the university Alabama continued to be almost wholly rural and agri- cultural. There were no large cities, no mining or industrial development little development of the lumber tn- dustry except for local domestic use no commerce of a large and com .plex character. Most of the towns were without paved streets, public water supply. sewerage systems or lights. The highways were only un- graded and unimproved country roads. The larger streams were crossed only by ferries of the most primitive kinds. The few railroads were built largely by outside capital and under outside direction. There was no development of water power except for grist mills and saw mills of primitive type on small streams. Little attempt was made to drain swamp lands or control the flow of rivers and smaller streams. The de- Nelopmerts of the states only harbor ana port were simple and meagre.
 There was little demand for the services of trained engineers. The land surveyor was more important to tho life of the state than was the engineer.
 And so the university, responding only to the demands and felt needs Of the people of the state, did not include engineering in its curriculum. This was the case also with most American universities. In some en- sineering was taught earlier than at the University of Alabama, but these were in the older and more indus trial and urban states In fact, most of the important branches of civil engineering as now known were un- developed half century ago.
 Engineering courses were offered in the University of Alabama from 1881, but the college of engineering was not established till 1891, just 50 years after the opening of the uni Versity. It Is significant that he year of the founding of the college of engineering was the same as that Of the birth of the city of Birming- ham, Both were colncident with the beginning of the industrial develop- ment of the state.

FILE PETITION

Montgomery July 22.-(SpeciaD.- Montgomery has filed a bid with the Louisviile and Nashville railroad for the railroad shops now located at Albany. This fact became known to- day in the publication of staAe- ment quoting "a high official of the railroad" who said the railroads an nouncement that the shopse would be moved from Albany if adequate pro- lection was not afforded during the strike was not Idle bluff,
 This statement said the railroad employs about 90 per cent of the people of Albany, that the town has only five policemen and that there arc now about 1000 strikers. This official said little protection was given the property until the state took a hand and that picketing was general. Since the state took charge of the situation. according to the statement. open picketing has ceased but information bureaus and cold drink stands have been erected which serve the purpose of the picketers according 10 the declaration.
