Citizens From Many SectionsI of State to Attend Meeting to
 Devise Means For Building Greater Educational System.

The citizens conference which con- venes at the Southern club tomorrow under the personal supervision of Gov. Thomas E. Kilby although not an integral part of the educational convention, Is closely correlated to 1t.
 According to Dr. P. P. Claxton. pro- vost of the University of Alabama, who has arranged the program for the day, at the solicitation of Cover nor Kilby, the conference, before ad iourning. should take some action that will result In progressive legis- lation and In carrying out its con clusions and purposes in other re- spects.
 Citizens from all sections of the state attending the conference will discuss a way out of the educational difficulties confronting the state, and is believed to be one of the most inn portant meetings of this nature ever held in Alabama. According to Gov ernor Kilby, the people pay and should say how the money shall be spent. The people, too, are In a po- sition to know just what the needs of the state are along educational lines, including equipment, teachers. housing facilities and the like, and they can certainly prescribe some method by which the crying needs are to be met.
 The citizens conference will be real conference and not success sion of lengthy speeches. The pro- gram consists almost wholly of brief and practical discussions of the sew eral questions from the floor, follow ing equally brief and concise state ments of conditions and needs, and followed by conclusions as to what can and should bs done in regard to each. There will be opportunity for all to speak who have anything definite to say. The conference, 1t Is promised, will be surcharged with interest from the beginning to the end and can not fail to be rich In practical results.
 The conference is not merely a meeting of educators primarily, but of citizens of Alabama, of the men and women who support the schools, who use them for the education of their children, who must furnish the means for their improvement, and who will make them better, 1t is be- lieved, as soon as they understand the need and the way.

TWO IRON MAKERS ASK $16.5O A TON One Maker Sold 100000 Tons in March, Another
 5O,000

Two Alabama iron makers have advanced to $16.5O. They are the Gen. tral Coal and Iron company and the Alabama company.
 All others with one exception were at SIG up to yesterday evening. The one larger maker still quoting $15.50 for a limited tonnage said:
 Tt is not quite SIG market yet, but it is on the brink of being one"
 The low point was $15. The abso- lute minimum Is $15.50. If the one maker at $15.50 goes up, which seems imminent, it will be minimum of s16 or SIG to s16.5o market.
 One iron maker sold 100000 tons in March.
 A maker operating one stack sold 50, 900 tons in March.
 A maker operating one stack, In going to $16.50, instructed agents that even at that it had only low silicon irons to offer and was sold up tight for April with only a small thrilled tonnage left for May and June.
 Three makers are known to have very limited amount of unsold capac- ty for May and June.
 If market continues strong, which seems practically assured, several more blast furnaces will resume with in a month. Best guess is three more, possibly four.
 Ready to Resume
 Vanderbilt stack of the Woodward Iron is being gotten ready. Republic company is prepared to blow in second stack. Sloss- Sheffield Is re- pairing at Florence and has stacks in Birmingham ready for the torch. T. c. L is rushing No. at Ensley to compIetion of ifs enlarged condition. Makers are proceeding slowly in the matter of resumption because they do not wish to spoil good thing, hence none will yet name date Of resumption.

was treated by Mrs. E. B. Tucker, state field agent of Arkansas, who made stirring appeal for more con- secrated self sacrifice on the part of teachers and educators generally. He declared that the education of illit- crates was missionary work and that this fact should be stressed to enlist helpers until adequate financial help Is forthcoming. He spoke of how the Sunday school workers, and various philanthropic organizations had been brouht into the illiteracy campaign In Arkansas, lending far-reaching support.
 How to Reach IlIiterates
 In a most pleasing and impressive way, Miss Elizabeth Kelly, director of community schools for adults in North Carolina, showed how the illit- crates should best be reached, as eN perience had taught the workers in that state. Tt is an educational prob lem" declared Miss Kelly, and the sooner we can impress the great need of outside support upon the citizens, who are able to help, the sooner we can wage the fight to successful finish"
 Explains Modern Methods
 Everett Dix. secretary of the Ken tucky llteracy league, then addressed the body concerning some of the more modern methods of teaching the illit- crates, and stressed the importance of bringing the illiterates into a clear knowledge of the requirements of normal citizenship and how it may best be attained, in connection with the routine teachings. Monotony should be avoided in conducting the classes and the great advantages to be derived by the pupil should be instilled from the start. 1t was point ed out in this the concluding address of the afternoon.
