the money, and in such manner as
the people can stand. All the people
need to convince them of their abili-
ty is to see results at home-amOng
their own children.
1t is doubtful if the average pay of
country teachers in Florida exceeds
$50 per month, for four months.
What kind of an nducement is
that for our young men and women
who would become teachers?
Teaching is hard work-hard and
wearing. The teacher. man or wO-
man, who has served long period in
the schools is not worth much for
any other vocation at the end of that
service. And the job, or profession,
calls for not only years of prepare
ton, but tact, patience, the highest
order OF intelligence and that some
thing that has not been named, but
is the ability to get along in the face
of countless worries and obstacles
on $l20 year.
Modern education IN Florida will
not progress as it should, or produce
the results desired until more atten-
ton is paid to the primary education
of our children; until there is more
justice displayed in dealing with
those who do the work and bear the
burdens-the teachers and the COM
mnnAltY.

MONEY ona EDUCATION.

John p. Wall, Putnam cOunty's
veteran legislator, writes that 1.-THE
Florida State College flew people
know its location had an apprOpria-
ton of S5j, 6G775 two years ago and
now wants $77,5OO; that the seven
state colleges are asking the present
Legislature for approx riations which
aggregate $4,000"
Mr.. Wall asks: "Can we stand
it?"
The people of Florida can stand
the expenditure Of that amount, and
more, provided it is wisely spent.
But there is a growing conviction
that We have too many state 'col'
leges" that are not colleges, but
merely academies or high schools.
The bill Of Rep. Buchanan of Du-
val, which seeks to do away with the
majority of them, is in the opinion
of many praiseworthy bill. The
News is glad Mr.. Wall voted for it.
One well-equipped state university
and one well-equipped state normal
school, the latter for the training a
teachers, is all that the state should
support. These should be well
sustained.
The real educational need Of the
state is for better primary schools
The country boy is not given a fail
show. This is especially true Of the
poor mans boy, who IL he would Sc
cure a common school education
must go to some one of the state
colleges" Being poor his parents
cannot afford this and the boy grow
up without sufficient education tC
fit him for life's battles.
Then there should be longer terms
for the country schools. Four and
five months in a year is not enough
Then the teachers should be bettel
paid.
o, there are ways enough to spend

GIRLS WHO LAUGH.

Most girls spend considerable time
trying to find out how to be popular.
1t is natural that girl should seek
approval and admiration. Her pop
ularity means good time, boxes OF
candy, theaters, dances, flowers
everything that the hearts Of the
young delight in.
The girl that is popular is the girl
who laughs. Not the girl that sim
pers and Fuckers or giggles, but the
girl that laughs and means it. The
girl that laughs can have candy and
flowers and a good time every day
in the week.
Men flock about her. They adore
her. She laughs herself straight into
the hearts of beaux and admirers
and straight into ali the good times
that a girl can dream of.
She laughs, but she is careful
when she laughs. She laughs with
her beaux, hut never at them. She
laughs at what they say when they
say it, but never afterwards. She
laughs at their jokes, but never
about them. She never laughs at
auyone's plumbers or misfortunes.
She laughs when the beaux give
her flowers, she laughs when they
give her candy, she laughs when
they take her to dances. Why
shouldn't she. Her laugh is her
fortune. Above all, the girl who
knows how to laugh knows when to
laugh and never laughs when she
should be silent.
She merely goes through life with
her laugh ready and into many DARK
corners does she fash it's cheer
Many a heart she makes glad just BY
passing. Many burden she light
ems by the music of her voice.
I Women forget to worry when they
hear the cheerful girls laugh. Ole
men are warmed by the sound of it
Young men listen and follow it, pay
court to it, marry it. For it is thu
laugh that keeps the heart young
the laugh that keeps the face bright
What man wants wife that can
not laugh? And the boy following
the laugh is looking for II wife. HI
may not know it, but he is. And h
will find her when he finds tina
cheerful, wholesome, honest, whole
souled, healthy laugh.

The News would not care to hazaI d
an opinion of the Jacksonville char
ter bill vetoed by Gov. Broward, but
in so far as 1t deprives the people of
voice in the local government the
funeral of the measure is to be re-
GREETED. The business administra-
ton of Jacksonville, or any other
city for that matter, should be di-
vorced from politics in so far as
possible, not because politics is bad
per Sc, but because of the blight
brought on by over-cultiva alton
There are wheels within wheels In
politics and none but a past master
in the art can understand the rela'
tiOnship Of all the cogs.
