A Timely Suggestion.

Editor Florence Tribnne:--
Kindly sllow few lines for aug.
gestion which. l hope. will be con-
aidered more an appeal to the public
thsu to yourself.
The agitation in school "circles'
which has been alive for some time,
II not . disgrace, 10. at least. no
credit to our district. and the presa
ventilation Of such subject certainly
does not elevate men and women
whilst 1t may demoralize the young.
Would it not be wiae, then, 10 declare
this subject "out Of priht?" Too
much has been published already.
All may Indeed be we'll intended but
she most serious and lasting rcsul: 10
bound to be degrading. Ny sugRes-
tion which il rendered proprio motu
-is this: That the present trouble
be settled according to law and with
less publicity.
Our statutes cover the case In ques-
tion. To appeal to them would be
more prudent and better for our
schools than to solicit the verdict Of
IN aroused and moulded public opin.
ion.

graduating in 1893. There are only four
OF his class now living. one Of the
others being Curtis Guild. ST.. father
OF the present governor Of Massachu-
setts. II is told that at the gradual
ing exercises back in 1899. Curtis and
Franklin were the star performers.
There is also told OF little blue-eyed
Frank Smith OF those early days one
story that showed even then the char
acter of the man who was to be. He
had made himself "A fine little four
masted schooner and was sailing II on
Boston common pond. In those days
toy boats were not on sale in the
shops, and a lady, who had stopped 20
watch the children at play asked
Franklin if he would sell his boat She
offered him Sc for it. and g was "a lot
OF money 10 the small boy. Yet his
boat was his most cherished posses
sion. After taking n final sail with it.,
however. he took ii 10 her and sold II,
adding the money to the little store
In his tin bank. Presently he invested
this with his father who paid him in
terest on II. and eventually he spent IL
for an Encyclopedia Americana
Il was like this book. he says. thst
first stirred I'm him the desire to travel.
He shared with Kipling's tramp the
yearning "for to admire and for 10 see.
for TO look out on this world so wide"
"a yearning which he bent all his ener-
g1es 10 satisfying with the result that
again like the aforesaid tramp 'he liked
IL all"
To earn the money for this he went
into a retail hardware business with his
brother when only nineteen. They
were unusually successful and were
soon doing a wholesale business. hav-
ing bought out two old-established
businesses that We're bankrupt And in
1851. at the age OF twenty-five. Frank
lin Webster Smith realized his hearts $
desire and took his first trip to
Europe.
He brought back with him I'm embryo
the idea which eventually took form In
the Halls OF the Ancients. He came
back enthused with the splendors OF
the Old World. He amused himself in
the evening modelling some OF the ia
nous and historic structures he had
seen. Some Of these models-one Of
Kenilworth Castle. one OF HoIyrood
Palace. and one Of the town Of Wur-
temburg. Germany. the home of Mar
tin Luther-he still has.

twelve halls. each under its own flag,
each inhabited by natives in costume.
and by society beaux and bellies of
Boston gotten up as counterfeit natives.
The street scenes were TO be repre-
sented under arcades fifteen feet high,
and Mr.. Smith was given a free hand
TO carry out his own ideas in his own
way
Once more he went to Europe and
ransacked the great houses and the
little shops for curios and costumes
and equipment From St. Petersburg
10 Paris he went. from Rome to Ber-
lin, from London TO Malaga. At length
he returned home laden with his spoils,
and in the end Of April 1873. the
bazaar was opened with elaborate cere-
monies. speeches being made in Rus
sian. German, French Scandinavian.
Gaelic, Hawaiian. and Arabic. It last
ed four weeks and cleared S52, 900. which
was about half the cost Of the present
building occupied by the association.
As "A social success. and a unique
educational function IT has probably
never been equaled in America.
Thus gradually. through years of
travel. of study. Of manifold interests
in public and private educational and
philanthropic schemes. the dreams Of
his life evolved itself-the creation of
national galleries, where the arts.
customs and history of ancient peo-
ples should be reproduced TO the ulti-
mate advancement of education and
art. He had retired from business
and now spent much OF his time in
Europe. roaming through it's capitals
and visiting the haunts Of ancient cit
les and civilizations.
In 1879 while IN Spain he conceived
the idea Of building q Moorish villa
in Florida as a summer residence for
his family. His attention was also
called TO the revival in Europe Of con-
crete. or Roman cement. as build
ing material. with the use Of which
he was familiar through his classic
studies. He determined that his villa
should be Of concrete. He converted
Mr.. Henfy @. Flagler TO his belief in
the superiority Of concrete az build

we're searched diligently no record
of her could be found. So Miss -
