Sioux City. Dec. 5.-Over a million
dollars is wasted each year under the
present school system Of the state, and
over $4,000 of that in our own county
each year. and we are utterly helpless
to cut it down because it is wasted ac-
cording to law" declared Professor T..
Is. Morris, superintendent of the
schools of Woodbury. county, In COM
menting on the campaign being pushed
by the educators of the state for q
complete revision of the school laws
of the state.
TT is indeed time that a move OF
some kind was made. At the recent
Fort Dodge meeting of the Northwest
ern Teachers association the matter
was brought up and the remedies sug-
gested by the proposed revision dis
cussed. Nearly every teacher present
admitted that a change from old laws
made when the state was in its infancy
was necessary. Here in our own coun-
ty there We're twenty-six rural schools
last year with an average OF two pupils
in attendance The average salary of
each teacher was $40, making a need
less expenditure of over 1000 a month,
which in year makes over $4,000.
And under the law. the county super
intendent cannot close those schools or
compel those children to attend others,
probably equally as close to their
homes. There has been no improve
ment in the state school system for
years. The old district system origin
ated in the early days has been made
to serve the purpose when the county
unit plan or almost any other would
be infinitely better
Will Revise Laws.
At the last meeting of the legislature
a committee consisting of promin-
ent educator. +. f. Bolton, of the state
university. of Iowa City, and two CT
the best known lawyers of the state,
was appointed by the legislature to go
over the school laws with a view to a
thorough and complete revision. This
they have done. and at the meeting of
the state teachers association in Des
Moines the last of this month. they will
report the result of their labors.
1t is understood that they will rec
ommend the township unit system, do
ing away entirely with the districts
and country directors, leaving the as
signment of teachers, the fixing Of
their wages and all matters of public
education to the county superintend
ent and board of supervisors of
county education, men who have made
the problem a life study and are thor
oughly capable of managing the affairs
of the schools.
Under the present system there are
about $50 rural districts in this county.
more in some and less in others. Each
district has director, secretary and
treasurer, making about 1000 school
officers for the rural schools. All of
whom serve gratuitously. If the pro-
posed remedy meets the approval Of
the teachers of the state and receives
their recommendation, it will undoubt-
edly be passed by the legislature.

Louisiana every claim ever made as

while Orleanians hold that New Or

informed sentiment of that city recog-
nizes Pensacola's claims as never be-

New Orleans Is engaged at present
in pursuit of very broad policy of
watching the interests of the whole
gulf coast and leading in the eman-
cfpation of New Orleans from it's
former jealousy of other ports.
This is of special interest here,
perhaps, because the transportation
rivalry is less acute between New
Orleans and Pensacola than between
New Orleans and Galveston. Man

Progressive Union is an old friend of

effect except in the comparatively
few cases when the local demands Of

hope to soon effect through an asso-

working organization of all the COM
bodies of the gulf coast, from
Tampa to Galveston. The day of petty

PREPARING FOR
MARDI GRAs

Getting ready for visitors is keep
ing Pensacola people busy, and each
day brings forth new and often mar
velous creations in store and window
decoration, to delight the eye and
tickle the fancy of the passing throng.
This is especially noticeable on Pal
afOx street and the new buildings IN
the heart of Pensacola" where the
occupants, not content with having
some of the most spacious and ele-
CANT stores with all the modern I'M
provements which have been there
provided, are vieing with each other
In such decorations as would seem
to be justified only in great cities.
Foremost among these is the Crys-

started in business eighteen months
ago, and opened one of the "handsom-

and full line of the best productions in
the market, made the beginning Of
what has proved the development age
OF local drug merchandising
The Crystal Pharmacy gained imme-
date favor with discriminating pub
lie that soon placed it at the lead. The
doctors sent them their prescriptions
because of its absolute reliability. The
public came voluntarily because they
welcomed an up-to-date and real drug
store. As a side line, this firm in
troduced into Pensacola Whitman's
celebrated Philadelphia candies.
These found ready field, and in a
very few months they were obliged to
provide larger space for their display
and sale. As q result they have put in
TO their store one of the largest and
handSomeSt wall cases for candies In
the state. This holds two thousand
pounds of candy and is kept well
filled.
Another specially with this firm is
fine cigars. Starting with q small
