New School Laws.

Many changes in the school laws of
the state become effective on July l.
One of the most important changes
makes the office of county superintend-
ent saIaried in all counties of the state,
the amount of salary depending on the
county's population. In most counties
the change makes substantial in
crease. Another law forbids the loan
ing of school funds except on real es-
tate security. Many losses, individual
~ small. but large in the aggregate.
have resulted from the loaning of
school funds on notes of which the
payment could not be forced. Another
change requires candidates for places
on school boards to be nominated some
days in advance of the election, as 9th
er elections are conducted in this state,
with more of the safeguards long since
placed about other elections, and do
ing away with the looseness and infor-
mality which has long existed. This
of course, applies only TO such school
districts as are incorporated under the
general laws of the state.
Another change highly commendable
in character adds civic and Illinois
history to the common school course
and requires that all teachers hereafter
granted certificates be qualified to
teach these branches

what Americana spend Abroad.

Every year Americans spend abroad
a constantly increasing sum of money,
says Henry c. Nicholas in Public Opin-
ion. Before leaving for Europe the tour
list purchases a letter of credit cover
ing the sum which he expects TO spend
while abroad These letters of credit
are purchased mainly from Wall street
bankers. and give foundation TO work
upon in estimating the amount of mon
ey annually spent abroad on vacations.
Experts on foreign exchange agree that
for the last FIVE years an average of
more than $l0O. 900 900 a year has been
spent by American tourists abroad.
Present indications are that fully $780,
OOO cabin passengers will cross the At
lantic eastward this year. and the cost
of the vacations of these 100000 tour
lists will amount TO not less than $780,
00o. 600. or an average of about 81 000
apiece.
OF this amount $37. 500 600 represents
passage money paid into the treasures
of the various steamship lines. This
figure j. baSed on an estimated aver
age of $3.50 q round trip for each cabin
passenger. According 10 well informed
steamship officials, this estimate is, if
anything, too conservative. Fully one
half of the passengers crossing the At

lantic in the first cabin pay more than
that one way, while many pay many
times that amount. The average. how
ever, would he about $3.50 for each
cabin passenger. or a total of S37 800
900 for the $50. 900 passengers who will
go to Europe this year. According to
foreign exchange experts, the average
tourist spends abroad three times the
cost Of his round trip ticket across the
Atlantic. This would give an average
expenditure abroad per tourist of $3.50.
which is declared to be well within the
mark. This would indicate that the
l 50, 600 tourists who viii go 10 Europe
this summer will spend abroad a total
of S1I2. 500 900. Add the passenger
fares across the Atlantic and you have
"a grand total of $50, 0OO, 900. represent
ing what the annual European vacation
|of Uncle Sans citizens will cost this
country this year
If this $3.50. 900 900 was kept at home
it would pay the entire expenses of
Greater New York for a 12-month and
leave handsome surplus remaining.
II would purchase all of the seats on
the New York stock exchange at the
highest price at which a seat has ever
sold, and leave balance almost suffi-
Gent to move the wheat crops of the
nation from farm TO market. 1t would
be more than sufficient to defray the
pension list of the United States gov
eminent for one year.

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving, the last Thursday in
November is every year observed as
a legal holiday all over the United
States. 1t is day set apart to
return thanks to God for the blessings
of the year. This custom is reputed
to be of great antiquity dating back
many centuries. Some are inclined
to believe that this custom, now SO
general in the United States, was i'm
ported from Holland, where the
"Honest Home'' festival is an annual
feature.
However, the origin of Thanksgiv-
ing daysin our country is due to the
early settlers of New England. The
CUSTOM. gradually extended to the
middle, western, and, finally. to the
southern::states until it became an ac-
knowledged national holiday.
In the homes of all its citizens,
without respect to religion. faith or
church it is regarded as day of merri-
ment, feasting and giving of thanks
at which families separated are united
and ceremonies of social character
prevail.
Thanksgiving in Ocala this year
was a bright, sunshiny, joyous day
every one had s.many blessings for
which to give thanks.
In the morning at the Presbyterian
church there was a union praise ser
vice of the congregations of that
church and the Methodist, Baptist
and Christian churches Rev. G. c.
Carroll, of the Baptist church, was
invited to deliver the annual Thanks
giving sermon, which he did in the
delightful manner that is so distinc-
lively and Enthusiastically his own.
There were also thanksgiving SER
vices at Grace Episcopal and the
Catholic churches.
The three services were all well
attended and Thanksgiving day in
Ocala in every particular was very
enjoyable one this year.

The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1905-12-08

Marion---The Banner County.

Marion county has fairly won
the general first award in all lines
of exhibit and is entitled to proudly
wear the Iaurels as being ''The Ban
ner County of Florida" until at least,
the next State Fair shall bring forth
another generous rivalry
Marion is entitled to special men
tion for the completeness of her ex-
hibit, no single item being neglected
or sighted in the display which she
made, under the supervision of her
able Commissioner. Mr.. w. M. Gist.
The completeness of the Marion
county exhibit is shown by the fact
that she stood first with mark of 10
in five distinct departments, viz:
agriculture, cereals, minerals, forestry
and live stock. Her total number
of points was 80 out of a possible 40.
Inc SUCCESS OI MdriOu county Is
largely due to the wisdom of her
commissioner in his endeavor to
make his exhibit show the resources
of the county, as they are, rather
than seeking to exaggerate them by
extraneOus embellishments and gaudy
decorations. To every citizen of
this good county, the Tribune extends
its congratulations on the proud honor
which it wears to-day---the blue rib
bon of pre-eminent merit in the glo
rious sisterhood of Florida counties
