cess and progress in all lines of work
The general health of the students and
faculty has been good. Very few members
of the faculty have been absent from a
days duty on account of health, and
there have been few absentees from any
cause. During the winter a visitation of
grippe attacked many students and pro-
fessors, but it was of a mild type and
yielded readily to treatment. There has
been no other general attack of disease
during the year.
Mountaineering enrolment of stu
dents for the year is 1877. Of this number
ISL are males and 46 are females The en-
rollment shows the whole number Of stu
dents attending at any time during the
year, and is, of course, always larger
than the actual attendance at any partic-
ular time. The attendance during this,
the last term of the year, is 100 males,
and SO females; total 147. The attendance
at the same period of the year in 1896 was
116 males and 80 females; total 49,
The exceptionally close times for mon
ey, the excitement and interest due to
the presidential campaign, and the great
devastation wrought by the storm of last
September have made the attendance at
the college this year smaller than it
would otherwise have been. And there
have been some other influences at work
which have probably made the atten-
dance smaller than it would have been.
But in spite Of all difficulties the enroll
ment is only two less than in 1856 when
it was 1919 at this period of the term.
ABBOT May LIST last year there were some
additions to our list of students, as the
high school of Lake City closed, and the
whole enrolment for the year reached
2O3. being two less than in the previous
year, when it was 2O5, which is the lar
gest enrolment the college has had.
In nearly all schools in all parts of the
country the enrolment of students this
year has been smaller than in previous
years. In some schools the enrolment has
been much smaller than formerly The
excellent enrolment at our school, in
spite of all untoward influences, speaks
we'll for the general prosperity of Florida,
and for the confidence in our school
which the people of Florida begin to feel.
Comparing the present enrolment of
students with that of the year before the
present board of trustees assumed con-
troll of the college shows most encour-
aging increase. The enrolment for sew
eral years is as follows,-the year 1928
being the one preceding the administra-
ton of the present board:
1923 .......... ......... .......... ...... 80
1884 ......... .......... .......... ...... 1873
1894-5 .......... .......... .......... 2O5
1856 .......... .......... .......... 2O3
1867 .......... .......... ......... ...... 1877

stuff you are made, and how you shall
aquit yourselves, and then the oppor-
tunity for glorious, heroic action is over
forever, the harvest time will have ended,
and the night will have come when no
man can work. You are now in the
season of high resolves, of lofty aspira-
tions and glorious longings. Seldom is
there noble and well-rouuded life, but
in youth was first fashioned its fair out
lines. The world needs true men every
where, and never more than today. 1t
is indeed great matter that you discover
the post where you can be most useful,
but it is by no means less essential that
you cherish in your souls to be useful,
faithful, conscientious and true wherever
your lot is cast. You will be wanted if
you are true and earnest and capable.
The world has a place for you. Then
study to prepare yourselves to ill it
worthily and acceptably, when you shall
be called to occupy"
There is a good time coming, boys,
SO runs the hopeful song,
Such is the poetry of youth,
When life aud hope are strong.
But when the buoyant days are pass ed
Age cries how changed are men,
Things were not so when was young,
The best OF times was then.
There is a good time coming, boys,
And many a one has passed
For each has had his own good time
And will have 10 the last
Then do thy work while fingers youth
With freshness on It's brow,
Still mindful OF llte's greatest truth
The best of times is now.

IN THE HOUSE.
Members VIII Make a Strong Stand FOR
Duty ON Hides.

Washington. May 5.-The Western
members of the house are preparing TO
make d strong stand for the retention
OF the duty on hides in the tariff bill
II that feature is adopted by the senate.
There was q strong sentiment in favor
OF protection for hides in the house
when the bill was before that body, but
no opportunity was given the house TO
vote on the question, a vote being per
mitted on the amendments only which
were proposed by the ways and means
committee.
In the committee itself the propos!-
tion was made to put duty on hides
when the Dingley bill was in prepara-
ton and the proposal failed by ma
iority of only two votes. With such a
narrow margin against a duty on hides
in the committee, the Western men feel
confident that they can carry their
point II the question comes to a vote
in the house. particularly as they are
assured of the cooperation of some Of
the democrats.
