Located at the Pretty Town of
Jacksonville,
ALABAMA IS PROUD OF HER SCHOOL
A Sketch of Each of the Teach
ers in Charge.

He is Highly Educated and »m Educator of
Marked Ability-The Institution
Is Very Popular.

mencement speakers. He received the
degree of Master of Arts, June, 1891,

ancient languages and philosophy in
the State Normsrl school. He was
elected the following year to the
presidency of this institution, and has
held that position for three years,
teaching mathematics and pedagog
ics.
The course in .mathematics is thor
ough. The theory of rare mathemat
ics is enforced for the excellent drill
which it affords. But the practical
applications to all of the other
sciences is shown, and very many
exercises in arithmetic, algebra, geom
etry and trigonomety are given. The
unity of numbers and number work
is developed by carrying along all of
the studies at the same time, and this
mutual dependence is rigorously
worked out in all the branches. I
The aims of the Normal department
s to give to its students the best
ethods of instruction in the public
chool studies, to instil the true prin
ciples of teaching and to bring the his
tory of educational development to
bear upon their studies in such away
that the best efforts of our educa-,
tional reformers may be secured to
them and the fads may be eliminated.
Prof. Joseph D. Wright was born
in South Carolina, in 1872, and gradu
ated from the university of Alabama
in 1893. Upon graduation he was
elected to fill the chair of languages
and metaphysics in this institution,
which position he has since occupied.
The principal branches taught in
this department mv: Mental and
moral philoxq bv, history and the
English and Latin languages and lit
erature.
The system of teaching these sub
jects is made inductive as far as it is
deemed practicable The course in
philosophy is completed in one year
and is made to embrace, as far as pos
sible, the whole field of psychology
and ethics. The history course ex
tends over three years—Freshman,
sophomore, and junior—and covers
the field of American, English and
general history. Latin is also studied
three years, and is taught inductively
throughout.
Examinations are held from time to
time on these studies during the
School year and at the end of the ses
sion each text hook used is madej the
subject of a carefully written exami
nation.
Clarence William Daugette was
born in Monroe county, Ala. He
graduated at the Agricultural college
of Alabama, with the degree of Bach
elor of Science among the first in the
class of 1893. He was elected to a tutor
ship in science and in 1894 received
the degree of Master of Science. He
was elected to the chair of science in
the State Normal school at Jackson |
ville, Ala., which position he now
holds.
Outline of the work done in thi*
department is as fo.iows:
The study of science is begun in
the lowest primary department and
continues throughout the entire
school course. The littieone is taught
to observe the commoner plants and
animals, to place himself in sympa
thetic communication with nature
and to appreciate her beauties.
As the st udent approaches the colle
' giate department, the work becomes
more systematic, rocks, minerals and
the different forms of life are added
to his list.
He collects and has in his posses
sion all the animals and plants possi

differences, observing their varying
conditions, habits of life and growth,
thereby acquainting himself with the
true basis of classification, and remov
ing a great barrier to scientific pro
gress in the way of an unreasonable
fear of harmless forms of life.
He is thus insensibly prepared for
and merged into the different
branches of science which are taught
in the higher grades of the school
chemistry; physics, botany, zoology,
geologv,* astronomy, physiography,
physiology—all of which are taught
upon the most approved basis of both
induction and deduction, and are in
tended to be rather suggestive than
exhaustive.
The State Normal School is just
closing thirteenth annual session, the
most prosperous in its era. This
school has done and is doing a great
work in upbuilding the educational
interests of this North East section of
Alabama. Its graduateshave proved
over and over the wisdom of the state
in thus thoroughly preparing teachers
for her schools. Their influence for
good is being felt both directly and
indirectly in all of the schools. They
exert a good influence upon all of the
communities where they go. Normal
Schools were, at one time, violently
1 opposed by many good citizens, who
had not a clear idea of their field of
' work. Now it is a rare thing for a
person to oppose them, on the other
hand, graduates from Normal Schools
are now in increasing demand.
This Normal School is one of seven
maintained by the State, four for
white and three for colored teachers.
It has always sent out from its portals
thoroughly equipped teachers. These
1 graduates are onlv a part of the good
it has done, for very many students
have been unable to take the full
course, yet they have often made good
teachers and have repaid tne State
fully, by their superior work, for the
' benefits which they have received.
I The course of study which is pur
sued in the State Normal School at
Jacksonville, Alabama, embraces:
Mathematics:—Arithmetic, Algebra,
Geometry, Trigonometry and Sur
veying.
English:—Grammar, Rhetoric, Amer
ican and English Literature, Logic,
Civil Government.
Ancient and Modern Languages:—
Latin, Greek, German, French.
j History:—United States, English,
General, and American politics.

A Comp’ete Metamorpogfa,
“Well? well! Old man, how are you?
Glad to see you ! You’re looking well,
but what’s the cause? Been to the coun
try? Got married, or what?”
“If you give me time I’ll tell you. If I
am looking unusually well, and I know
thyt I am, for I feel so. and am told so
a hundred times a day, it’s due to the
fact that I am not smoking cigarettes
now or using tobacco in any form How
did I quit? Well, I’ll tell you. I saw an
advertisement one day headed “Anti-
Cigarette It Cures Naturally ’ —and the
name caught me To make a long story
short, I tried it, bought two boxes and
was cured, so to speak, before I had used
the second box. I can’t tell you in medi
cal technicalities how it was done, but
it's just this-It eradicated the nicotine
from my system without tearing me up
internally. It was done simply and easily
and in a few days I had no desire, no in
tense craving to smoke so incidental to
cigarette smokers, and I felt like a boy
who had never tasted tobacco, and now I
feel like a new man altogether. It is
simply wonderful and wonderfully sim
ple, and lam going to give the Empire
Remedy company as strong a letter of
endorsement as they could wish; for
such a blessing should be told to the
world.”
After this conversation the reporter
called on Mr. Smith, the general manager,
who modestly disclaimed all credit for
being a miracle worker, and said simply
that he had worked patiently for years
to accomplish what is now being talked
of not only all over Atlanta but through
the entire south, to prove which he
showed the reporter a bewildering array
of mail from 20 different states asking
for and endorsing his Anti-Cigarette To
bacco Cure.

Hoods
Sarsaparilla as a blood purifier and build
ing up medicine leads everything ever
produced. It is positively the best. Others
may make the same claim. But there’s
this difference: We prove it. Not by an
tiquity, but by Merit. Not by what 1
we say, but by i
what Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
does. ■ ■l l has
a rec- ™ ord of
Cures unequalled in medical history. 1
It positively, perfectly and permanently j
cures when all other medicines fail. <
That the keen discrimination of
the people recognizes its merit and I
the cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, is
shown by the fact 1
that thej’ buy Hood’s
Sarsa pa- rilla in pref
erence and to the ex
clusion of all others.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has a larger sale than
all other blood purifiers. It wins con
fidence everywhere because the state
ments in its advertising and testimonials
are verified by all who take it. No other ;
medicine has ever received such praise, or I
so many voluntary testimonials of won- !
derful cures. No other medicine possesses '
parilla
the peculiar combination, proportion and
process used in preparing Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla, and which give it merit peculiar to
itself. This is the secret of its wonderful
power, of its wonderful sales, of its won
derful hold upon the confidence of the
people. This is why it cures Scrofula,

CAPTAIN W. H. STEELE.
The subject of this sketch is one of
Rome’s prominent and popular business

excellent judgment have placed him in
the front rank of Rome’s progressive
citizens. He is a Georgian by birth,
having first seen the light of day in
Greene county and has lived in this state
practically ail of his life. In 1871 ho
moved to Trion Factory and in 1876 he
