taken to make q Just division OF the

ing clear by concrete example.
The school board of Escambia coun-

the schools OF the county outside the

schools within the city, s3S, .6s.
That Is, for every 800 spent on the
county schools. an expenditure OF
$117 was made ON the city schools.
The enrolment IN the country being
2,72s and IN the city 2,s12, stood IN
the ratio or 100 TO 103. The average
daily attendance In the coIntry was

for every 100 days the pupils OF the

Some people seem to expect to ac~ quire all their good habits in their sec ond childhood. They seem to regard good habits as fitting them for heaven rather than this life on earth. But stop minute or two and think about habit. It is worth while. For there is no greater, more constant, more insistent force iu any mans or woman's life than the force of innumerable little habits. Not considering at all the com mon bad habits" think of the thou sand and one little habits that deter mine your every thought and act. Do you know that in the commonest things you are a slave to habits that you never suspect? Almost every move in ths process of the mornings dressing, for instance, Is involuntary and calls for no conscious thought. Many a morn ing your mind is absorbed in mapping out days work, while habit Is wash ing and dressing you. Habit accustoms us to doing most of the everyday things in particular ways, and we consciously turn the mind to them only when they chance to be done differently. Anyone who stops to think about 1t can easily see that innumerable little habits make up a very large part of our lives. We think along the lines worn smooth by habit, as well as act Not an impression. not an emotion, not an opinion, not resolution, not an action, is possible to us that Is not influenced, colored and directed by fixed conditions within our selves-habit. It is indeed well worth while to carefully consider the host of little habits that hide themselves in the most secret cells of both brain and muscle None of them is too small to be worth attention. Bad habits are the little threads with which the weak Lilliputians bound the strong Gulliyer in helplessness. Good habits are like a well-made harness. enabling us to do our work in the world with less fric- tion and waste of energy. Habits we cannot avoid. Nor can we escape be- ing controlled by them. But we have free choice between the habits that are good and helpful and habits that are bad and harmful.

The practice of hazing has passed be yond all the bounds of law and order. The spirit which indulges in 1t now is that of the bully, and no more that of the fun-loving boy. The practice was always reprehensible. Now that It dares to run in defiance of public opinion, when 1t mocks at law and de- lights at torture in the guise of a "joke," 1t is no longer to be regarded as less than criminal. The practical joker was always a nuisance and fool. The hazer adds to these attributes those of being both malicious and dangerous. If the college authorities are not brave enough or powerful enough to put an instant end to hazing wherever it Is practjced they should appeal to the State and municipal police. Offenders should be punished without regard to their youth or their good intentions.
