MOULTON, Ala, June 1.-(Spe. cial. )-The Lawrence county board of education Friday approved budgets for the county schools for the next session Every effort was made to give the chil- dfen of the county asL long terms as possible with the limited funds in sight. By economical management the public funds were made to give five months of school with no reduction during the past session and, though funds will be less for the next year, every effort will be made to give five months of school.
 It was also agreed that no teachers salary should be lowered if that teacher had already been an employe of the county, though the raises in salary for both increased experience and added professional advancement may not re- ceive the compensation usually allowed.
 A resolution continuing the support of the board for the vocational agri- culture teacher at Town Creek was unanimously approved and I. P. Thorn ton selected to succeed himself for the work.

Dean Carmichael Points Out
 Financial Needs

MONTEvALLO,S Ala, June 2.-In recent address before some citizens of Alabama, Dean o. c. Carmichael, head of the million dollar drive for funds for Alabama college at Monte vallo, raised the question:
 (Which does the state of Alabama believe in most as an investment, her ambitious young women or the crim- nals in her prisons?
 To give his hearers some ideas from which to draw their own conclusions, Dean Carmichael outlined the follow ing facts:
 The state of Alabama has spent with in the last few years, the sum of $1,- 695. 900 for Kilby prison. The insti- tuition will accommodate only 900 prisoners, each of them representing a total investment of $1 1,880. There is notia single educational institution in Alabama with a similar investment per pupil in attendance.
 If the University of Alabama had such an amount, it's total investment would be at least $3,5O0,0OO. If Au- burn had that amount per pupil in- vested, it's equipment would be worth s, 3,0O0, 900. If Alabama college had that much invested per pupil, its total in vestment would be $1 ,500,00O. An in vestigation of the actual amount in vested in these institutions shows that the state has invested only about half as much per capital in the colleges for men and women as is invested in Kilby prison for each prisoner.
 'The investment in Kilby prison was a wise and necessary One," said Dean Carmichael. But how much wiser and more necessary it is to invest in the ambitious young men and women, who are seeking higher and better prepara-
