SECURE 4 HOME IN THE LAND Or FLlNRs
DlNSMOREl

One of the growing towns Oftbe
South, is situated on both sides of
Savan ah, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful hort.
cultural and truek-grOwing section
of the State. DinsmOre can be-
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and a half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
DinsmOre is not one of the isOla-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are yigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re.
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures poor man can make regQ
lar payments on valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act.

vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.

ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj tcent to
DinSmOre, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at S. acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two aud three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State Of
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
Truck farming around DinsmOrs
would b. at the door of two of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy a lot in
DinsmOre. The fare from Jackson
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day and
the round trip will only cost TWEEN.
ty-6ye cents. Trout creek, large
stream passes right through the
vicinity, thus affOTding pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. 1t is the very best chance
you will have TO secure good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in DinsmOre are
enjoying a good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Sa"
mills are convenient for securing
timber to built, and labOrers who
desire work can get from dollar
ana half 10 two dollars per day.

also recommends the establishing

these schools will cost $3.50 apiece
or $500 for the two. La each OF
these schools, therefore, 225 girls
may receive Il lesson in cooking

REPORTS. THE ADVANCEMENT OF
THE WHITe SCHOOLS AND THE DE-
GENERATION OF THE COLoRED. AN
IMMEDIATE CHANGE NECESSARY.
When Industrial Education was
introduced into the schools, the
tax payers, especially the colored,
presumed that the colored schools
would be on equality with the white.
Such is not the case and to-day in
duStrial education i'll the colOred
schools is a failure. The attention
of the readers of the BEE and the
citizens is called to the reports of
both Superintendent, Messrs. Cook
and Powell and judge between
what is right and wrong. The re-
port OF
SUPERINTENDENT POWELL
of the white schools shows what is
being done in the schools under his
superintendeucy. Mr.. w. B. Pow
ells report covers 94 pages, while
that of Mr.. Geo, f. T. Cook does
not cover more than 81 pages. Mr..
Powell deals with every study in his
schools i'll a philosophical manner
and in speaking of
MANUAL TRAINING
Mr.. Powell says: The value of eve
and hand training is the symmet-
rlcal developement of body and
mind and is the preparation of the
child for duties of life is now con-
ceded.
The question is no longer, "Shall
manual training have place?n But
rather, "Of wlat shall it consist ?n
1t is conceded that if we could see
the graduates of our school seek
other employmentS than as clerks,
| book keepers and teachers, they
must be directed in their lives Dy
thought and have opportunity to
practice the elements of other &C.
tivites. 1t is conceded that the
lost opportunity afforded the youth
is frontier rural life, incident to the
settlement Of the country and the
massing if population in great CEN
ters, and to the general application
OF machinery to labor, must be
compensated by opportunity and
training in the schools.
DRAWING 70 AS A MEASq or ,r.Nr
AL TRAINING.
During the past year something
has been done to increase the
manual training already begun in
the primary schools. The direcor
of drawing has explained this in
part in the report to which your
attention has been called. 1t is
desirable that but little time be
given to drawing from fats-the
imitation of what some other per-
son has tried to do-and that
systematic courses of clay-model-
ing, stick-laylng and paper folding,
cutting ond pasting, be given the
pupils of the 1st, End, 3rd and 4th
grades, and that the work in
drawing be confined, with proper
estimates to the representation of
forms made by the pupils, and of
corresponding forms which the
pupils, because of their training
in making, may be lead properly
to see.
X
WORK WITH TOOLS IN SHOPS
For two years something has
been done in manual training in
the High School. Not until the
past year, however, was enough
done in this work for special
mention. AT the beginning OF the
year trained teacher was secur
ed, and shop was fitted up with
benches and woodworking tools,
in which 225 boys received in
struc;ion and practice one hour
each week. The work was sue
cessful. 1t was not difficult to
manage it with the other regular
courses of study of the school.
The boys seemed to like the work
aud showed no disposition to with
draw from the class.

carmen SYLVIA" the queen of Rou-

built, wherein to write her poems. 1t is
constructed of reeds surrounded by a high
hedge of roses. In the niche of the
hedge cages of singing birds are hidden,
and in one corner there is a fountain OF
perfumed water. In the middle of the
room is a messy bank and a great block oil
rock that is also covered with moss and
hewn in the form of a writing desk. Upon
this moss grown stone the queen poetess
will indite her verses. The ground is
covered with a thick, soft carpet of green

The cowslips swing their bells of gold;
And the young leaves throng like merry children,
