Members of the degree team are asked to arrive at the hall a little earlier than usual in order to get all the parap aphernalia in shape so that there may be so delay when the degree work is reached.

 One of the most interesting meetings held in a long time was the Monday night session of the council. After the routine had been gone through there vase some discussion of the pending school bond matter for new schools and much interest was developed be- cause of the long-standing work for the public schools of the Junior Order.
 Following preamble and resolution relating to the matter of free text books for the schools of Birmingham were adopted unanimously:
 Whereas, the furnishing of free text books for use in public schools has come to be regarded as of equal i'm pOrtance to the furnishing of free tui- tion; is being adopted very rapidly over the entire country as prime and most essential adjunct of an ideal pub lie school system, and indorsed by the leading and advanced school authori- ties connected with public schools and public education; therefore be it
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that when the city board of education comes to arrive at the amount of additional money that will be required to. maintain the contem- plated expansion in school facilities, that it include in it's calculation sufficient amount of funds to cover the cost of furnishing free text books to all the schools of the city included in the pub lie school system of Birmingham"
 Splendid reports are coming in from the councils of the Junior Order over the state as to the growth being made. There seems to be good revival of interest in all sections, though some sections are making more gains notably than others.
 State Secretary F. R. Calhoun of Birmingham will visit the councils of Mobile next week. representing the state councillor. Upward of thousand members of the Junior Order will fore gather and a fine meeting is antici- Da ted
