full survey of the whole educational
system, so that when the legislature
reassembles reliable facts on the edu-
cational situation may be presented
in such manner as to enlighten that
body as to the needs and enable it to
devise ways and means whereby the
funds may be provided. The big thing
to bear in mind is that the schools
and colleges shall have the proper
support to develop their possibilities
and opportunities into a great con-
structive asset for Alabama. When
the needs are presented by the joint
legislative committee and the whole
situation is comprehensively set forth,
what appears to be the wisest and
best means of solving the problem
should receive the earnest considera-
ton of the legislature. What Ala
bama keenly needs and should provide
with the least possible delay is ade-
quate support for her schools and col
leges with such degree of independ-
ence as to enable those who guide and
conduct these productive plants to give
their whole thought, time and effort
to their interests without the necessity
Of any political activities whatever.

POOR BOYS WHO
BECAME FAMOUS
By Frederick HOuK Law



A London cigarmaker put his
ten-year- son at work in
shoe factory so that the boy
family and at the same time learn
a trade. After a short time the
boy, boy-like, turned his interest
to his fathers work and learned
the gentle art of rolling tobacco
leaves into fragrant cigars for
those who could afford them. 1t
was no light work for the lad, for
the hours were all the hours that
he could crowd into the day, al
most twice the time now recog-
nized as suitable for labor. Still
he stuck to it. and what Is more
wonderful still. he found time. and
strength. to go to evening school
and learn something besides the
use of his hands.
For twenty-six years Samuel
Gompers worked with tobacco,
and for twenty-six years and all
the time up to the present. he has
continued to study. He holds the
commanding position he does be-
cause he educated both hands and
brain.
At the age of thirteen Samuel
Gompers came to, New York City
where there were better opportu-
mites. There he continued the
cigarmaking trade. and the hours
of patient reading for the sake Of
self education. His natural force,
strength and wisdom made them
selves felt in the meetings of the
labor union to which he belonged,
and he won the admiration of all
his fellow workmen. 1t was only
natural that they should make
him their delegate to what is now
the American Federation of Labor.
In the larger organization he
displayed even more force than
in the smaller. and quickly be-
came commanding figure, and
finally president. His position
was no easy one to hold. but since
1882 he has been one of the most
prominent labor leaders in the
world. In addition to public
speaking, and to innumerahle con-
ferences with men of power, he
has written many articles and
acted as editor of a labor paper
Short and powerful. vigorous,
fearless. the cigarAaker's boy
made himself into a great cham
pion of the rights and privileges
of labor. He is a rare combina-
tion Of muscular skill and mental
power.
