 What is really the great thing in the rush ing cities, in the bustling small towns in the villages and on the farms-and in the noun tains-that is worth building?

BUILDINGS AND TEACHERS PAY


 NJ. Morize, French exchange professor at Harvard, informs the American people that they spend enormous sums upon school and college buildings, but pay the teachers such paltry sums that they can barely live on them. As a result thinks the French scholar, men of ability are often forced to some other occupatiOn as a means of livelihood, when they might otherwise contribute greatly to the cause,of education if teaching were prop erly compensated. Undoubtedly there is much truth in the criticism
 It is believed, however, that if the salaries are increased, and they should be increased, it should be done, not at the expense of the buildings, but at the expense of the people. There is something educational and inspiring about buildings of fine type. There is com fort and health and more efficient result in buildings that are well-lighted, well-heated, and well.ventilated. There is economy in constructing buildings of durable nature. To construct public and educational buildings Of inadequate or impermanent type is false econ omy, to say nothing of the offense to good taste Amidst the other uplifting influences of many colleges and schools arc the archi- tecturaI beauties of the buildings. Those in' stitutions which do not have such buildings want them or are planning to have them. Since it is education of the best sort of which we are speaking, no important n- fluence to that end can be disregarded.
 To all these splendid buildings and equip. ment. however, must be added faculties com posed of men and women of the highest type

THE WORD. ..LOMRARpY.

The word "beard," and a long one, too is tucked away in ''Lombardy," a northern province of Italy, if some etymOlogists are correct in their assumption.
 Like other parts of Italy, the province of Lombardy, of which Milan is the capital was overrun by German tribes many cen turies ago in the course of the vast move ment known as the migration of the n6, tions.
 These blond invaders wore cOnspieuously long boards ("Longobardi' in Latin).
 One theory is that the northern province of Italy took its name from these invaders with long boards. But there are other theories.

FRANKIIN,s RIG pART

The Sunday Age-Herald carried fine dis play of advertising and reading matter giv- ing information about Muscle Shoals In the many write-ups Russellville was only men tioned in mild way. However, of course, everyone knows that the great mineral dis trict of Muscle Shoals is Russellville and Franklin county. The minerals in Franklin county have done much toward making Mus cle Shoals famous. RusselIville supplies the iron ore and the lime rock that keeps the Sheffield and Florence furnaces going With out Franklin county and the government rock quarry at Waco, near Russellyille, Muscle Shoals would not be half 50 vsluable.

RECOGNIZING OFFICIAL CAPACITY

The reelection off Mir. A. c. Patterson as president of the Alabama Public Service Com mission is deserved recognition of public serv- ice ably and conscientiously performed The defeat of an official who has so well served the people would have been a most discour- aging spectacle, discouraging not only to those who believe in good government by officials of capacity, but discouraging also to able men who might otherwise be persuaded to be- come candidates for office. It has often been said that the favor of the populace is tickle and not long to be depended on. It seems, however, that the saying somewhat misrepre-

ideals and attainments. Without teachers of the right sort the buildings become but splen- did sepulchers of that educational ideal which is the heritage of the American people. No matter how high' teachers ideals may be, the teacher must eat, be sheltered and be clothed, and must have the revehue sufficient to maintain decent position in the public view and to keep abreast of the progress and culture of the generation. Just enough sal ary is insufficient. There must be margin for emergencies and to give that feeling of security which breeds the atmosphere in which intellectual activities are at their best. Let us continue to build our magnificent edu- cational structures, but let us also erdow our teaching forces in commensurate degree.

Size of Bids and Service.--f the Muscle Shoals question were one to be settled by letting the property go to the highest bidder, as some people seem to think, it would be very easy to get a big price, as the interests opposed to Ford would go to great lengths to keep him from operating that project The best results from the projects could not be assured by that system, for to bid on the project and to make it serve the greatest general good are two things not necessarily connected.-Gadsden Times News.
