The employe demonstrated in virtu-

other sympathetically. "At what sta

BUCKMAN EXPLAINS
EDUCATIONAL BILL
Its Passage at the Recent Session of the Florida Legislature
Before Jacksonville Board of Trade 1

The Jacksonville Times-Union gives
the following report Of meeting of
the Board of Trade at which Hon. H.
H. Buchanan explained the recently en-
acted Educational Bill:
The address by Hon H. H. Buck
man before the board of Trade last
night was what was expected of it,
1t was a careful, concise and most
satisfactory explanation of the proyis-
ions of the Buchanan school bill by
one who was best able TO enlighten
an audience upon the question.
Mr.. Buckman was pleasantly intro
duced by President Garner, who refer
red to the able services which Mr..
Buchanan had rendered the state at
the last session of the Florida Legisla-
ture. When Mr.. Buchanan commenced
his address he referred amusingly to
the fight he had had in securing the
passage of his bill, likening the bill
and the other state educational meas
ures before the last session Of the
legislature to horses on the race
course, stating that the Buckman bill
had been the last entry, and when his
horse had been groomed and fixed for
the race the others were at the two
mile post on three-mile course. Com
pairing the progress Of the bill to the
progress of race, he dramatically re-
ferred to the finish, when his bill
came under the wire first In the house,
and also in the senate when the race
was run over The signature of the
governor he likened to the AWARD of
the blue ribbon to the winning horse.
Back Into History.
In referring to the provisions or the
bill, he went back to 1S45. when Flor
ida was admitted as a state and when
under the provisions of the act Of con-
gress admitting the state. lands were
donated to the state which were to be
sold and the proceeds applied to the
establishment and maintenance OF a
school west of the Suwannee. and one
east of the Suwannee. In 1856 Florida
passed an act accepting the provisions
of the act of congress and arranging
for the establishment of these schools.
One was locates at Tallahassee, and
, known as the Seminary West OF the
Suwannee, and the other was located
in South Florida and afterwards re
moved to Gainesville, and known as
East Florida Seminary. In 1884 the
state established at St. Augustine the
school for the deaf, dumb and blind
and in 1888 two normal schools were
established, one at DeFuniak Springs
and the other normal school fol
colored pupils at Tallahassee. In 1896
Polk county asked AND had a military
school established at Barlow. In 1901
/ normal and Industrial school was
established at st. Petersburg. and in
1903 an appropriation was made for a
state school al Kissimmee.

OF the examinations to be passed from
the high school TO the university.
In conclusion, Mr.. buchanan urged
mat the people of Florida give to the
board OF control their earnest support
TO the end that the educational inter.
ests of Florida be best subserye6.

address. but for the services which he
mad rendered to hts state.

Mr Rnckman then continued

Mr. Buchanan then continued to
speak on what was given In the place
-of the state schools which were aboi-
ished. Mr.. Buchanan stated that those
who advocated the Buchanan bill saw
that there was only one thing TO do,
ana that was to be just by all the
schools To do this all OF them had
TO be abolished and new plan pro-
posed. He stated that they could
not cut of the Barlow nor the Gaines
vile school; neither could they cut on
any one of the others. But to be fair,
all of them were abolished and a new
plan proposed.
Two Schools Retained.
But. he said, it was decided to have
state female college and a state uni
versity. The Normal ana Industrial
School at Tallahassee, the School for
the Deaf. Dumb and Blind at St Angus
tine were retained. In one case the
colored school was retained because it
was the only colored school in the
state and the School for the Deaf.
Dumb and Blind was retained because
the unfortunates were as much wards
of the state, in one respect, as were
the lunatics of the Florida Insane Asy-
lum.
He referred to what the state had
in the shape of permanent endow-
ments from the United States govern,
ment for state institutions, all of which
was available for the two schools.
This. he said. amounted to about
$500. which. he claimed was almost
sufficient to maintain the two schools
after the buildings had been provided.
He showed what a saving this would
be to the state at a jump, even after
including the appropriation Of $3.50, 900
called for by the bill.
University Not High School.
Mr.. buchanan said that it was pro-
posed that this university to be Great
ed by the bin would be a university
and no high school, He said that he
aid not think that any individual in
the state was entitled to an education
at the expense of the state. beyond
that afforded by the common schools,
and spoke of the great burden to the
taxpayer that the education OF pupils
In the state schools had been. He said
that there was danger of the state
going education-mad and spending an
unlimited amount Of money IN a hap
hazard manned. He said that the
BOARDS of trustees of the various
schools had spent the funds of the
state without having been required to
keep check or have an auditing of
their accounts. He did not say that
money had been misappropriated but
did call attention to some loose meth
DDS of accounting for the funds spent
A Cumbersome System.
The old system of state institutions,
Mr.. Buchanan said, provided for ninety
two trustees, while the new system
would provide for only the board OF
control, which would be in absolute
control Of the schools, and that under
the new system ali moneys paid out
would have to be done by state war
rant, after the bills had been approved
by the state comptroller
Another feature of the bill which
came in for some attention was that in
reference TO the uniform graduation of
students in the schools. The new law
calls for graduation In accordance with
q regular set Of questions. and that
this plan shall be uniform throughout
the state The same plan win be true

Of the counties the school term aver

form system of education.
Power in Politics.
He claimed, that the state institu-
tons to which he referred had become
such political power in their respec-
tive sections that no man could be
elected to the legislature from the Sec
tons in which these schools were To-
Gated who would not pledge them
selves to vote for an appropriation for
the school. This, he said. led to an
appropriation for these schools being
voted by the legislature Of 1903 of over
100000, and which the taxpayers
would have TO have paid had not the
governor of the state vetoed that fea-
ture of the general appropriation bill.
Every session of the legislature. Mr..
Buekman claimed, there were requests
coming from the state institutions for
large appropriations.
Concluding this feature of his ad-
dress, Mr.. Buchanan said that the SEN
timent against all this had grown so
strong throughout the state that at
one swoop the heads Of every one OF
these state institutions were chopped
of and another plan substituted. which
was expected to meet the desired ends.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-06-18

said were being cared for by the state.
and by the United States at a cost OF
81 100000 since the establishment of
the first two schools, and two-thirds of
that amount had been spent by them
during the past five years All this
money is being spent without results.
Not one of these schools was bit
better than the high school in your
county to-day. Eight of these schools
were receiving children of the lowest
grammar grades. To give an idea OF
what the schools were doing as com
pared with the money necessary to
operate them, Mr. Buckman said that
there were for the past year 1913
students in all of these institutions,
and that to educate these pupils the
state was expending about s750,000 an
nually.
Seven Pupils to One Professor.
Continuing further along this line.
he stated that there were only seven
pupils to one professor and that these
professors were being paid from s175
to $500 per month. He claimed that
while in those Institutes the state paid
1892 apiece for the education of the
pupils. the state was appropriating
only $40 a piece for the children in
the common schools In addition to
this he said that the location of so
many schools of like character
throughout the state had led to the
expenditure of vast sums which was
the result Of rivalry alone. In this
connection he referred to the employ
ment of agents TO travel over the state
and to drum for the schools, OF the
printing of magnificent catalogues for
free distribution in order to induce
pupils to attend the particular schools
He did not say that this was wrong.
but he did claim that a great deal of
the expense ought not to be incurred.
He claimed that one of the results Of
the state being burdened with so many
schools was the necessity on the part
of the taxpayers of the state to send
their children outside of the state in
order that they might receive an edu-
cation.
Where Sentiment Started.
All this he said had years ago start
ed a sentiment in favor of a general
consolidation of schools in this state
As far back as the administration of
Governor Fleming, Mr. Buchanan said.
the message of the governor contained
recommendation along this line.
Again six years ago there was an effort
made in this respect. and this had been
done for every two years until at this
session. of the legislature there were
several bills which sought to accom-
plish practically the same purpose as
the Buchanan bill
