ARE ALL In
Approximately -Four Thousand
Polls Issued in the County,
Twelve Hundred Votes Shy.

The city issued approximately 1925
poll tax receipts aud 260 exemptions

hundred votes less than the normal
voting strength of the city. But it is
about three hundred increase over last

The county issued, as near as the
figures can be obtained at this time,
$3.50 polls II is estimated that this is
about twelve hundred votes less than
the normal vote of the county.
The candidates are now advised as
to what the probable vote of the city

In the opinion of perhaps all stu
dents Washington's birthday should
be observed as holiday in our
schools. But we wish 10 20 further
than this hssty and thOughtless view
of the question. Ii is question
worthy. indeed, of debate and we
therefore hope TO render it due con-
siderstion and to present Clear-sighted
and unprejudiced veiws in defence of
our side. After carefully consider
ing both sides Of our argument we
are constrained 10 feel that the birth
day Of our world-famed hero and first
president. honored and loved by all
nations, should be kept in memory by
our schools. Surely il helps TO keep
alive in us the spirit of patriotism. and
patriotism signifies much to be proud
Of DO We not need TO exercise and
TO encourage patriotism? Each of us
cannot be a Washington. We cannot
all accomplish deeds Of national hero
ism or serve our country with polite
al distinction. However, we may in
each department of our government.
educational as well as others. unite in
encouraging and keeping alive this
feeling Of patriotism. This for one
reason. the observance Of the birth
dav Of the Father of our Country
as a holiday, We believe to be a means
o. developing patriotism. The very
name Of Washington produces q feel
ing OF LOYALTY and a sense of honor.
Now. this love of patriotism SHOULD be
kindled in the hearts Of children as
well as in the hearts Of older ones. for
character has its foundation in child
hood. In consideration of this We
wish 10 say TO our hearers that eX-
eepting Christmas. Washington birth
day is most loved Of all the national
holidays by the pupils Of our school,
This day recalls TO their mind tie his
tory Of a noble character and one
worthy TO be followed as an example
Even the little Ratchet story may
bear upon their thoughts, which,
though amusing TO be told so often,
should move every young heart to a
realization of the nobleneSs Of such a
trait of character revealed in Wash
ingtOn as young boy.

Ana clouds that are white as snow.
Meath all these beautiful skies.
The little children play.
And they make a pretty picture

Make many an old heart SAD.
As they think of the time when they
were young,
And like the children glad.
But some sad day these children must

Though the time has not come yet.

HE SCOPE or THE HIGH
SCHOOL LITERARY SOCIETY

The most potent factor in school
life, as is now very generally admitted
is school spirit. 1t is obvious that to
Upbuild a school Il is necessary to in
cite, or if il already exists, to aUgmen,
this force.
Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm. A
rersOn 'imbibed with the spirit" viii
spread the cCntagiOn to all with wnom
he comes in contact. and proportion
ally the cause viii grow strongel
Hence, il is imperative that to secure
school spirit the pupils shnu,d meet
together frequently and informally.
How could this be better done THAI
BY a literary society? While foster
ing this spirit, IL would work for the
mental. and 20 some extent. the moral
upbuilding of the pupil. besides being
al the same tine. pleasureable re
taxation. inviting alike the encourage
metn Of the teachers and the spontane-
ity Of the pupils. For the various
features of the meeting self-conscious-
ness wOula be displaced to greater
degree than could be expected in the
class room, since the reserve or timid-
ity of the pupil would be lessened by
the leadership and presence of ais
fellow pupils BY following the pre-
scribed rules of procedure. the mem
hers would gain much practical in
formation for the places they may i'll
after leaving school. The pride of the
pupil would stimulate him TO do his
best. in whatever part he had TO play.
Last. but certainly not the least notice
able result would be the self-cOnfi-
5ence that would come TO the pupils,
one of the most necessary qualities
o. the present day American.
For many reasons it would be best
for the membership 10 be limited ia
pupils Of the High School
The program should include at diff
ferent times, essays. declarations,
dialogues. debates etc. Occasionally
an address might be given by one of
the professional men of the city.
Twice a month would perhaps be
frequent enough for the meetings Ia
keep interest alive and not too fire.
Quent 10 interfere with other school
duties.

Why not? Why should We not close
the schools and let our boys and girls
run idle on the streets in honor OF
WashngtOns birthday?
The first of the several reasons
that we have on this important ques-
ton is its inexpediency.
In our public schools especially III

Ting down from the two weeks Vaca-
tion tina, the Board of Public lnstruc-
ton gives at Christmas when wash
ih'stons birth cay cones upon US.
Say Washington's birthday falls on
Thursday; the first part of the week
is spent in hustling and BUSTING, pre-
pairing for the picnic or excursion OF
Whatever the celebration VIII be on
Washington's Dir, hday; then on Friday
a set Of know nothings, woo nave
spent the day before in celebrating
Wsshington's birthday greet the
teacher.
Immediately following this is the
Carnival, for which the board is again
obliged to give two days Friends. use
your Judgement! Can a pupil learn
anything by coming TO school one day
and staying at home ,wO?
Next, will speak of its inconsist-I
ency. If we observe Washington S
birthday. why.not r. E. Lees. Frank
Inns. "Stonewalli' Jackson's. Adams
and scores of. others. who have served
and died for the cause of their coun-
try?
You can readily see that this is i'm
possible. Instead of the eight months
school TO which we are entitled. we
should ge; only about seven, by OBJ
serving ali these birthday anniver-
saries.
Next you say. HAS the South SO far
lost it's patriotism shat it neglects to-
observe the birthday Of the Father OF
our Country as a NJ 1onal holiday IN
the .schools?" No. we owe to Wash
ington all the reverence and respect
We can pay to him and no tribute to
him can be too great; but, are there
not other WAYS we can show our reYer-
ence than by closing the schools ana
allowing the day to be spent IN idle
ness?
Friends. Washington's chief aim in
life was to do his duty Would III
not be a grand tribute to the Father
of our Country to try and follow his
example. do our duty-come to school
and accomplish a full days work.
For a minute. just fancy that Wash
ington should walk abroad the city OF
Pensacola. and that he finds the peo-
pie celebrating it by carousing and do
ing things thai we're injurious to both
mini and bods do YOU think that he
woula, give us smile of approval. NO,
far from it. He would look upon us
with such seorn and disgust as to-
make the worst of us blush for shame.
Again you say, "All work and no
play makes Jack a, dull boy reverse
it-all work indeed makes JACK sun
duller-this YOU acknowledge.

and by so doing follow the steps OF
him who was
