Appealing to Foreign Vote.

DO not make your appeal TO the Jewish
voter as a Jew. but as patriot Arouse
his enthusiasm for right government. The
Jew is not different from other men, ex-
cept in his religion. and he doesn't care
to discuss that. But his love Of country
is very strong"

Use of Profane Language.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Unless something is done to check the
evil Americans must soon become known
as the most foul-mouthed persons on
earth. 1t will first be necessary to de-
termine the cause of the use Of profane
language before any real cure can be ap-
piled. One cause is undoubtedly the lack
of 4 sufficient vocabulary to express ones
thoughts or what he conceives to be his
thoughts, 1t was this faulty vocabulary
that induces females TO describe as
awful things entirely disassociated
with any feeling of awe and as funny
that which is merely odd. The male, with
his greater freedom of speech, uses an
oath TO express the same idea which is
not an idea, but merely futile attempt
10 express that which is not conceived
and which consequently can not be ade-
quately expressed.

General average.

Note that Miss Washburn barely got
sufficient for q third-grade, and some of
her markings are amazingly low, yet
she superseded Miss Chaires, one of the
State'B best primary instructors Miss
Elcan was much worse, when you con-
slider the grade to which she was as
signed.
] claim that II was an absolute indig-
nifty TO the home teachers of Leon
High School for these low-grade "im-
portations" to be paid IS per month
more than our tried and true instruct
Ors were receiving.
Miss Cotton, holding a State primary
certificate, and Prof. Demilly, holding
State certificate, both displaced; Miss
Washburn, very low third-grade, and
Miss Elcan, thiTd-grade, imported. See
how this rudderless board improves your
school?
Seems as though these ladies would be
lonesome as the ONLY lowest grade
teachers In the school, especially when
surrounded by such excellent ones as
Misses G. M, BrevRrd (State certifcate),
E. G. Eppes FIRST grade), Jennie Bre-
ward first grade), II Charles Estate
primary, and Kate Sullivan (second
Rrade).
Miss Daviess was reelected by the
board, despite that she has no certif-
cate and cannot, under the law, teach.
] lay this matter before the people,
believing they will agree with me that
these teachers should be required to
either secure higher Rradings or give
way TO those who can do 40.
The board meets next Tuesday. and
they should hear from you unless you
are content to allow your school to be
conducted in this Indifferent and I'M
business-lke manner.

board was practically forced 70 strin-

act re-employing Mr.. Wideman, but
taxes, promises Of 1.-THE best school Of
its kind, I" increase in teaching corps,
addition Of college preparatory grades
and importation Of teachers from Ken
lucky and Virginia, our high school was
all dream-we had none because the
principal had not the certificate required
by law.
Last year the board imported two
teachers who, on examination, failed TO
reflect any glory on themselves or their
sponsors. Mr.. Wideman wanted some
strong in mathematics" and he was
given carte blanche 10 secure them, and
IN doing so got the board into an en-
barrassing position.

to be responsibility by perpetuating last

/ do not believe Tallahassee's people
realize the extremely poor showing
made by these teachers, else they would
have insisted last year on their discon-
tinuance Their record was not then
published because of the fact that they
were ladies' and, it seemed, had not un-
derstOOd the situation here and were
themselves victims TO a certain extent.
Now the situation is different, and, be-
heving as do that no third-grade teach
ers should be employed In our high
school, ! feel 1t public duty to make
the publication.
Prof. Wideman desired teachers who
were ''strong In mathematics, " so call
especial attention 10 the gradings in
