The effort being made by Mayor Van
Hoose to secure the national flag for our
public school buildings has a much great
er significance, a more far-reaching im
portance than has perhaps been attached
to it by the citizens of Birmingham. Such
things, apparently small In themselves,
■will have a serious bearing upon the prin
ciples and politics of the rising genera
tion. The laws of the near future are
to be formulated by the boys who are
now quietly learning their lessons in tho
school rooms which cover this fair land
of ours. The principles of the next gen
eration will be Influenced and largely
controlled by the little maidens who now
carry every morning their books and
lunch baskets along our streets and greet
you with sunny smiles and happy, care
free faces. The lessons now learned by
these same boys and girls will in future
years be the constitutions of our states.
No man or woman holds greater power
for good or evil than he or she who daily
directs the intelligence of the youth of
America, and an Influence which is sim
fdy negative can almost be counted on
he side of evil. He who writes the songs
of a nation is Insignificant compared with
him who teaches the children of his coun
try. Every teacher has an opportunity
to reach the future, to connect the pres
ent with the coming years if he employs,
as he should, the tremendous forces at his
command. And this bringing to the at
tention of our children the grandeur of
our republic, the greatness of our people
and the vast possibilities of our future by
the flying of our national flag over the
school houses is eminently correct and
patriotic. It is another step in the direc
tion of “Americanism," and everything
that tends thereto should be fostered and
encouraged. This Is rendered the more
needful because of our lax immigration
laws and the ease with which naturali
zation papers are secured. According to
the present laws of our country the for
eigner has largely the advantage of the
young men who are native Americans,
in that a brief season of residence fits
the former—no matter how ignorant or
vicious-»for the right of suffrage, while
It requires twenty-one years of training
and education to entitle the latter to the
privilege of the ballot.
The trend of public opinion Is towards
a radical change In this faulty arranger
ment. The children of our country
should be taught not only the funda
mental principles of our government,
but the grand doctrine of “American
ism.” and all efforts In that direction
should be encouraged by the parents of
our future law-makers. In no section of
the United States Is this feeling stronger
than in the south, and the explanation is
a simple one. Living as we do, remote
from the great seaports, from the cities
which receive the thousands of foreign
ers who crowd upon our shores, the origi
nal principles which are embodied in the
constitution have been unchanged in
their interpretation by a people whose
Anglo-Saxon blood has not been mixed
and diluted with other races. We are a
law-abiding, God-fearing and conserva
tive people, and we shall so continue as
long as we hold uppermost thla grand
doctrine of “Americanism."
The interest In the independence or
Cuba grows apace with the people of the
United States. The stories that come to
us of Spanish Intolerance and despotism
have awakened a general feeling of in
dignation throughout the country, and
especially In the south. The relations
existing between the southern states and
Cuba have always been so close and
friendly that the desire for Cuban inde
pendence Is almost universal. In various
cities of the country clubs of women are
being formed by Cubans and their sym
pathizers, which have for their object
the aiding of the Insurgents in every
way possible for women to do. A society
In New York called "Daughters of Cuba”
has Issued this address to the women
of the United States:
“Sisters: The time has come for all
daughters of America to unite
in helping our brothers In
their unequal struggles. The world
knows what Spanish domination Is. The
darkest pages of the history of humanity
are those which refer to atrocities com
mitted by Spaniards wherever they own
lands. The Netherlands, Portugal, Mex
ico, Italy, Peru and the greater part of
the American continent have suffered
under their Intolerable yoke, and all
these countries have succeeded In gain
ing their independence. Cuba and Porto
Hlco are the only ones not governed by
themselves, but it is not Cuba's fault; it
Is the fault of the countries that help
Spain to maintain Cuba in slavery.
"Since ISIS Cubans have been trying to
gain their independence. During this
time there has not been a day of rest in
Cuba Since 1818 the most talented Cu
bans have been banished from the Island
for their talent and patriotism. Many
have been sentenced to death- J.D Puerto
Piinrlpe in 1826 fell the first victims of
liberty, and from that day to the present
the Spaniards have not pardoned any Cu
ban who hqs tried t$ obtain hifi liberty.
The letters that we -ecelve from all parts
of the world offering aid and sympathy
prove that our cause Is Just. The prin
ciples that fill Cuba with blood today are
the same your fathers had In their strug
gle for independence, and the Spaniards
of today are the same ferocious men of
that time. It Is publicly announced that
Spain has pardoned all convicts In Cuba
and other prisoners on condition that
they Bhall fight against the Cuban pa
triots. These convicts are already butch
ering Cubans without regard to sex or
age. We Cuban ladies in exile from home
have Joined ourselves together In a char
itable society called Daughters of Cuba,
with the object of sending medicines and
necessities to our sick and wounded of
the Cuban war. Sisters of America, come
to us; we appeal to you to help us and aid
us in cneadlhg sympathy and raising
funds to enable us to send medicines and
necessaries to the hospitals of the patri
otic army. We have decided, with this
object in view, to hold a fair during the
first week in December in Masonic tem
ple, Twenty-third street and Sixth ave
nue, New York. And. above all, let those
who have fathers, brothers, sons or hus
bands ask them for sympathy and beg
of them to petition the president of the
United States for the recognition of the
belligerent rights of the Cubans. 'When
this is granted the war will be over, and
we Cubans in exile and the Cubans in the
whole island of Cuba will join us in their
thanks and ask the blessing of Ood on
you and yours.”
My newspaper experience has been
singularly fortunate in my eighteen
months of regular service, with a very
exceptions, I have met only encourage
ment and generous consideration from
friends, acquaintances and even strang
ers, that have proven a constant Inspira
tion to higher endeavor. No woman
could be more grateful for these kindly
evidences than I am, and no woman could
more thoroughly appreciate than I do
the encouraging words spoken and writ
ten to me by true men and women, whose
friendship I claim. But there a.re clouds
in every sky, as you and X have reason
to know, and one of these clouds cast
an ugly shadow across my way a few
days ago in the form of an anonymous
communication. Some one was so solic
itous for the education of myself and the
masses that he or she cut out my col
umns of last Sunday, wrote upon them
thrilling marginal notes, correcting my
faulty grammar and suggesting that
while I was mailing an effort to elevate
the standard of excellence and good man
ners in clubs, I should also raise my owit
standard of grammatical excellence.
This suggestion of ^py anonymous corre
spondent certainly emphasizes the cor
rectness of my poslton in the premises,
and indicates that there may have crept
into some club some man or some woman
who needs not only elevating, but a
weeding out entirely, for no one is en
titled to membership in a respectable
organization of any kind who could be
guilty of such an act of cowardly imper
tinence as the sending of an anonymous
communication to man or woman. Such
a deed taboos the sender from all furthei'
ngard of respectable people. Belonging,
as I do, to a class of women who are in
terested in the progress and questions of
our time, like them I do not claim per
fection in any line, grammatical or other
wise, and I do not resent proper instruc
tion, properly given, but I demand that
my instructor shall allow his or her petr
s uiality to be known, so that the motives
which actuate this philanthropist shall
tie Justly ■estimated. As the corrections
sent me were some of them entirely
faulty and imperfect, there seems to have
been absolutely no excuse for such a
communication (a communication which
brands the sender as a miserable coward)
but an unadulterated malice, which was
bnrp la a. warped and shriveled soul.
Another such anonymous article will ne
cessitate my publishing the name of the
sender, which, while not signed, is not
difficult to discover. ^ ^

The members of the Cadmean circle

Smith, Mrs. Thomas D. Parke and Mre.
S. D. Weakley. During the afternoon
Miss Allen, literary leader, made a moat
interesting talk upon pronunciation, dur
ing which she took the position held by all
V
thoroughly educated persans, namely,
that exaggerations and affectations of
pronunciation are wholly incorrect and
at variance with the speech of the b-'st
scholars of the century. During her so
journ abroad list summer and the sum
mer previous Miss Allen had the good
fortune to hear several of the most dis
tinguished preachers of our time, among
them Dean Bradley, Canon Farrar,

The noble women who have charge of
the Mercy Home are in need of a few
very necessary articles, window shades
and a wardrobe, and, perhaps, some of
our good people can supply this want.
The home is accomplishing a world of
good in a quiet, noiseless way, and It is
entirely inadequate to the demands made
upon it by helpless women and children.
There are many children now at the
Mercy Home, besides a number of women
who have no other place of refuge in
this busy world of ours. Every day ap
plicants are turned from its doors, sim
ply because there Is not room for thejn
inside. Will not some good man or
woman donate to this worthy charity
the much needed wardrobe and window
shades?
