It is a sad comment on the
craftsmanship of our public
men, says the Arcadia Champ
ion,that a provision Of the state
constitution providing for a
school fund from ali state lands
sold, should have been neglect
ed for forty years. 1t goes to
prove how little we know Of The
government under which We
live. Perhaps It is because We
have been so busy scrambling
after the elusive dollar that We
have neglected the means oy
which the Florida youth might
have been furnished better
school privileges than most
states can afford.
