LETTERS TO EDITOR
DEFEAT OF SCHOOL BONDS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As the school bonds have been defeated, friends of education should now concentrate their efforts toward making some definite annual provision for the yearly increase in school attendance.
 Those who voted against the bonds did not do so because they lacked interest in the schools, nor did all of them oppose it on the grounds of additional taxes, but based their opposition on the interest cost that would an- from bond issues.
 The present constitutional limit for the city of Birmingham is $1 50 per $10O, of which there is now being assessed $1 20. This leaves a margin of 30 cents per $1OO, which could now be voted for fund to be used sole ly and only for the purpose of building schools and public buildings. This would make an annual provision for the increase and would be included in the annual budget of the city, which is the proper way to make these im- provements.
 Building schools is a community expense, and the increase is not spasmodic, but very regular, and in the case of Birmingham grow ing larger proportionately each year. Ac- cordingly, it is not an expense to be covered by interest bearing obligations extending over future years, but should be provided annually.
 We believe that now is the time to start movement to educate the people up to the ne cessty of making this annual provision, and as one of the opponents of the bond issue, the writer is willing to support and work for it's accomplishment. Very truly yours,
 FRANK E. CURTIS. Birmingham, San Jose Apartments, May 23,

EXCESSIVE ERUPTION


 "A desire for publicity is amiable weak ness"
 Perhaps so," replied the editor of the Chig- gersville Clarion, "but the aggressively high browed citizen who writes a column-and-a- half letter to the editor, full of six-syilable words and references to authorities the aver age newspaper man never heard about isn't going to make any hit with the person who 'okehs' his copy or the high-priced compositor who sets it up."

TOO MUCH CRITICISM
Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In sympathy with all citizens of our com monwealth who respect authority and are law abiding. I deplore the recent outrage in the flogging of your county health officer, Dr. J. D. Bowling. Such an exhibit of law lessness is incomprehensible in highly civil ized community like Birmingham and it is a dishono rto our entire state.
 am, however, moved to suggest that this spirit of lawessness is engendered and famed into flame by too great a tendency to criticise those in authority who are delegated by our suffrage to govern us ,and may further sug- gest these criticisms have found expression in our leading daily papers, which are supposed to mold the sentiment of our community. If we would cultivate spirit of law abiding in our citizenship, it cannot be done by those who mold sentiment in indulging in wholesale criticism and seeking to be-little those who are chosen to govern us.
 You are at the head of great paper, and I believe that the good of the entire com munity would be conserved if your policy would be to refrain from such criticisms. Yours very truly, | H. WILSON.
