And rose with him into the air.
So high they flew, he wondered why
That even ducks such flights would dare.
They rose till, from the earth, they seemed
But specks against the summer sky;
Then, looking down, one Duck inquired,

"Why? Because the Herald is a

him defeated and then support him
in the election. No Self-reSpccting
paper, having place in the hearts
of the Democratic party, can lend
itself To the support, open and siren

primary within the party. To do
so would put the paper outside the
party lines. The Herald is Dem

lines. In contest which is for an
election that involves issues which

Beautifying School Grounds.

The New York Tribune recently
published page of pictures show
ing certain village and rural school
houses in New York state before
and after the efforts of teachers and
pupils to beautify the grounds.
The contrast of the "before" and
latter" pictures was striking.
Surroundings ofthe school houses
that were most uninviting, if not
repulsive, were made very attract
i've with walks, flowers, shrubbery,
etc. The cheerlessness of the school
grounds had gwen place to a cheer
fulness that must have been both
gratifying and helpful to all con-
cerned.
In New York state there is a reg
ularly organized movement for the
improvement of school grounds.
We offer it as a good suggestion
that similar movement could well
be started in Florida.
Too little or no attention here is
paid to the surroundings of the
school building, which seems to be
considered by the patrons merely
as a shelter for their children, then
no wonder all of the latter are glad
enough to run away from the school
grounds as soon as the days session
is over.
Children love to have pretty
things round about them, and
when there is nothing about the
school building or grounds to APP
peal to their better nature it is no
wonder they are attracted else
where.
Improved and beautified school
grounds create an atmosphere of
cheerfulness and gentleness that is
hardly apt to be found amid ugly
surroundings. 1t is stated that in
one instance certain school in
New York state had set of very
rude and destructive boys before
the improvement of the grounds
was started. 1t was feared that they
would destroy all of the flowers
and vines. But once the work was
fairly under way, they became
among the most enthusiastic i'm
provers ard jealous guardians of
the grounds, and at the same time
there was marked improvement |
in their dispositions in many re-
spectS. From being hoiStcrous and !
rude they became conSidcrate and
well behaved. 1t was the refining
influence of the improved sur
roundings.

There seems to be an unusual
amount of good feeling and gener-
osity exhibited by candidates in
st. Johns county who will 60 into
the primaries for the various coun-
ty offices to be voted for next
month. The st. Augustine Record
is informed that candidates who
are contesting for one of the offices
have agreed to save the necessity
of II second primary in the event of
the first primary failing to nomin-
ate Il candidate for that particular
office by those receiving the small
est number of votes withdrawing
from the contest. 1t would, indeed,
be magnanimous if candidates in
other counties would agree to do
the same.
