NEVER GIVE UP.

| J. A. Edgerton in Youths Companion.
When weary one night from the toll O.
the day,
My heart with its burden cast down
Alone and unaided on life's barren way
And all the world wearing a trown
L heard the quaint tones beating meas
ured and slow,
OF the clock, from Its shelf on tie
wall;
And, as the staid pendulum swung tc
and fro,
In rhythm these words seemed to fall
Never give up. Never give up.
Time will be given you.
Never give up"
And tEen, through the deepening ST.
ience, 1t seemed
A presence pervaded the gloom
Although far away she lay sleeping, |
dreamed
My mother stood there in the room
About her sweet face, as it turned to
my own,
Seemed resting halo OF light.
Like far away music, | fancied her tone
Fell soft on the ear Of the night:
'Never give up. Never give up.
Loved ones are waiting fJr you.
Meyer give up"
Out iuto the night, to the quaint and
calm,
l went to the starlight and dew;
For night, to the heart that is sore, has
a balm,
A beauty that always is new.
L saw the great earth, as 1t swung to
the dawn,
Stretching out to the east, to the
west;
And out of the deep heart of nature
seemed drawn
A voice with an accent OF rest:
''Never give up. Never give up.
The world Is wide for you.
Never give up"
My eyes turned above, where the bright
eyes of space,
Through lmmenslty's blue-curtained
deens,
In clusters OF glimmering groups, seem
to gaze
Far away, where the quiet earth
sleeps,
And down through the broad, jeweled
fields Of the sky,
That radiant stretch over all,
There dropped still voice, as 1t were
from on high,
Which seemed to my spirit to call
"Never give up. Never give up.
Heaven is over you.
Never give up.
THE past it is gone, with its sorrows
and faults,
Then leave it and build you anew.
The past it is dead, locked in memory's
vaults
And living hopes beckon to you.
For the brave is the pathway of life
Can you climb?
Then turn from the years that are
dead,
With your eyes on the promise that's
shining sublime
In the years that are lying ahead.
Never give up. Never give up"
The great misty future says,
"Never give up"

We are glad to notice that several Of
our State contemporaries are protest
ing with The Metropolis against send
ing children from Florida TO other
States to be educated. The protests
may not work any change, and there is
no law against. sending the children
away, but those doing it create the inn
preston abroad that the school system
in this State is inferior TO that of 9TH
er States, when In fact, 1t IL much bet
ter than that Of many. Everything
possible Is done to make OUR schools
meet the conditions necessary. Liberal
appropriations made, good instructors
employed. buildings and rules are nota-
bic features of the system, and those
who are engaged in school work in Flor
ida are constantly trying to better con-
ditions for education. A large tax is
paid and All children admitted to the
public schools. Many of those parents
who pay q part Of this school tax aetu-
ally impose upon themselves a double
tax by sending childrena ay, mourning
additional expense and securing nothing
for the tax paid at home. Were these
parents or guardians singled out and
double taxed for educational purposes,
the protests would be vigorous and nu-
merous, when in reality these same
persons are voluntarily paying it with
out compulsion, and, we might say
without necessity
We are told by railroad men that
they are now transporting many boys
and girls to other States to attend
schools, more, perhaps, than in any
previous year. OF course some parents
have inducements to send their children
to places to be taught by relatives and
at famous educational institutions, but
these are few. Most of them pay for
tuition, board, transportation and other
incidental expenses, which amount to
considerable sum within year A low
ing parent can never be as we'll salts
fed with his children being away from
him as he would were they at home
discomfort, the disadvantage
of being unacquainted, and many other
things are thus probably thrust upon
children sent away from home. 1t is
also said that many of the children edu-
Gated away from home lose their affec-
ton for home and relatives, and be-
come more attached and interested in
other people and places.
The Metropolis hopes'that the Press
of the State will assist in stopping this
growing tendency to ignore our home
schools aud recognize those abroad If
there is anything wrong with our State
school system let IL be pointed out and
remedies applied. Stand by home and
home Institutions, and inculcate in all
people that love that high regard nee
essary to a happy commonwealth. -

FLORIDA STATE
REFORM SCHOOL



News comes from Jacksonville TO TIA
effect that DR.. J. N. Taylor, Of chat
place, has been offered the Superinten-
dency OF the State Reform School at
Mariana, and has taken the matter
under advisement. In this, may be
seen the influence Of Hon. John c.
L'Engle, of Duval county, who has been
member Of the board of managers of
the school since It's establishment, and
has been devoted 70 its interests
throughout period Of eaptious OPPOSE
ton and innunerable obstacles serious
enough TO discourage the most deter
mined of men.
The school was first established on a
basis of payment of $50 per year by
each county ON each inmate sent, but
many of the counties, following the ex-
ample of Duval, refused to comply with
the law. AZ the last session Of the
legislature fiat appropriation OF &c.,
coo was made Tor the support of the
school, besides IS, 900 for Improvements
and $4,000 to cover existing indebted
ness
The board Of managers consists Of
DR.. John G. l. Engle, of Jacksonville /;
NJ. l.. Dekle and Hon. w. II. Milton.
Jr., Of Mariana Hon L. Reeves, Of
Pensacola, and Hon. w L. Palmer, of
Orlando.
The promise of increased usefulness
for this excellent and indispensable Inc
stitution involved in the prospect of
having It in charge Of such man as
DR.. Taylor, cannot be overestimated.
DR.. Taylor has devoted a large part Of
his life to the care Of friendless or way
ward boys, and has a large and valuable
experience to rely upon In the work Of
reforming juvenile offenders against the
law. His success in this line Of effort
is we'll known, and his connection with
the school will constitute guaranty OF
its successful and humane operation.
