MEN CONTINUE
GOOD WORK
SPENT ALL OF YESTERDAY in

E-1<GENDA AND LEAVING IN
AFTERNOON FOR SANTA ROSA
COUNTY.

Spending a whole day in Pensacola
after an arduous trip through the
dusty county in the rural districts,
the noted educational board which
came here Wednesday night left yes
terday at 5 p. IN. for Bagdad, where
last night they held a good meeting.
The attendance was expected by the
gentlemen to have been heavy, since
there had been a great deal of in
terest manifested by Bagdad people
when the Milton rally was held. To-
day they will go to Cobb, in Santa
Rosa county, and thence Will continue
to move eastward, terminating the
present plan Of propaganda in Frank
lin county.
The entire number spent the day
yesterday at the Merchants hotel. and
at that place were seen and were made
acquainted with a large number of
Pensacola gentlemen. Prof Joyner.
the North Carolina state superintend-
Gnt, made himself agreeable in the
lobby by introducing himself to a
number Of commercial men who hap
pened to come in during the day. and
as he met them himself invariably
made their acquaintance known to
the others in the party.
Luz lS the udS TIE gentlemen look
occasion to inspect some OF the pub
lie schools buildings in the city. There
were no sessions at any Of the public
schools and this gave them all the
opportunity of inspecting to their con-
tent the buildings. The fact that the
county is having a modern concrete
building erected in New City was a
source of much pleasure to them, for
they are all vastly interested in
matters Of an educational nature.
The public buildings. the new city
hall, the skyscrapers, the public works,
etc, all claimed some interest from
the school men and they seemed to
enjoy It very much This was the
first visit to West Florida Of both Dr.
Joyner and DR.. Conrad, and they had
their eyes opened wonderfully at the
work of improvement which is now
being done and which has been done
in the city. The water front was no
little attraction to them during the
day, although no local men were with
them half OF the tine TO offer eXplana-
lions.

part in the same. Special singing
and prayer were offered.
WITH THE SAILORS.

Sailors the world over conscienti-
ously make observance of the
Thanksgiving time, and this was no
exception in Pensacola. The ships of
the different nationalities, and espec-
tally the sailing ships, were scenes Of
impressive gatherings, and in the late
afteTnOOn,A attired in the natty cloth
ing which had been slowed away for
the suspicious occasion, crew detaCh-
ments were allowed on shore and
they behaved themselves splendidly.
This is especially true of the NOTwe-
gian and Swedish seamen. They
come ashore with a feeling akin to
that they have on the Sabbath day,
and if a seaman'szc church or mission
is to be found, it is matter Of record
that they invariably hunt it up and
are devout attendants. Such was the
case with those ashore during the
late part of the day yesterday.
WITH THE POLICE.
Id1eness caused trouble for some
youngsters during the early part of
the afternoon. Two boys of Italian
descent were taken from a pool room
on Palafox street on charges of tight
ing and hainz dts~ravTrsS----~r1C- u

and the saloons being open,

benefits as well as intense interest
and pleasure may be derived from
this well-aTticUlated plan Of study.
The next number of the College
Bulletin will be devoted to the inter
ests of home economics
Miss Sarah Cline has organized and
is directing two choTuses, which
give promise of broadening the music
al taste of the college in no small
degree. One of these choruses, the
vesper choir, has already made its
appearance, and judging from its
first attempt we can confidently as
seTt that we expect good things from
these organizations. The vespeT
choir, consisting of some thirty voices,
is composed largely of the pupils in
the voice class. 1t meets once II
week and devotes one hour to the
study of sacred music.
The College chorus is made up Ct
fifty voices, volunteers, pure and sim
pie, from the college at large. In
are enlisted from many girls who
might otherwise never give music a
thought. The College chorus meets
for an hours practice every week
and its material consisting Of secular
music, provides the needed contrast
TO the work of the vesper choir. 1t
is needless to say that Miss Sarah
Cline is a most Jealous worker, and
that she is the inspiration of the en-
tire undertaking.

MANY FAVOR
NEW MATERIAL
FOR PALAFOX
IDEA TO USE THE OLD BRICK ON
THE PRINCIPAL THOROUGH
FARE OF THE CITY DOES NOT
MEET WITH MUCH FAVOR
AMONG CITIZENS.

The use of the old vitrifed brick
now on Palafox street in paving that
thoroughfare, as contemplated in
amendments to the paving ordinance
as presented to the city council Wed.
nesday night, does not meet with DOD-
ular favor in Pensacola, according to
expressions heard yesterday among
citizens and many of them prominent
citizens.
The brick now in the pavement has
been in use for the past eighteen OF
twenty years, and it will be impossible
to construct a pavement of il that is
in keeping with the appearance of the
cross streets, which are now being
paved with wood blocks.

lis simply ridiculous. l gave the CITY
council credit for more taste and
better judgment, and while the
amendment was adopted by that body
Wednesday night, 1 nevertheless be
lieve that the cOuncilmen will see their
error upon consideration and adopt
the original paving ordinance as pre-
scented by the board OF works"
Many others expressed Themselves
in a similar manner, and it was stated
that several of the aldermen win cast
their vote for an ordinance requiring
new material to be used if such a
measure is presented.
It is known that Chairman Jennings
and the four members of the board of
public works are bitterly opposed to
using the old material, and as stated
by Mr. Jennings Wednesday night, he
would prefer leaving the paving as it
is rather than use the old material.

Florida State College For Women

Tallahassee, Nov. 24-The director
OF the department Of home economics.
Miss Harris, addressed the Confeder-
alton of WOmen's clubs at Palatka
on Friday. November 10. The pUr-
pose of this arrangement on the part
OF the confederation was TO bring IN
formation concerning industrial work
that is being done in the schools OF
the Southern states before the con-
VentiOn, and TO secure cooperation
and helpful suggestions from the
leaders engaged in this work in Flor
ida, so that some definite action may
be taken to introduce certain phases
Of home economies in all the public
and rural schools of the state. Miss
Harris gave a resume of the progress
of domestic science in the southern
schools. She also gave some specific
demonstrations showing the effect OF
the application of heat to eggs, the
chemical action which takes place IN
bread baking, etc. The college appTe-
ciated this invitation from the COnfed-
Grafton of WOmen's clubs and was
glad to send such a competent repre-
sentative as Miss Harris, whose work
in hCme economics is eminently sue
cessful.
During next week the students and
faculty expect to have the benefit
of an address from Miss Laura Drake
Gill, Of New York. On her return
from the Confederation of WOmen's
clubs in Palatka. Miss Gill will be

iSed to lecture 10 the young women

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

The heavy fog all yesterday was gen
eraI the entire length of the Potomac
river and Chesapeake bay. and proved
troublesome TO navigation, forcing almost
complete suspension of movements of
vessels for several hours.
Yesterday afternoon about , clock a
person standing on the Highway bridge
could not make out the big steel railroad
bridge, only 100 yards away. Vehicles
coming across the bridge could be seen
only short distance off.
| About dark a breeze from the southwark
| for a time gave promise of blowing the
| fog away. 1t soon died out and the fog
again settled on the river as thick as be-
| fore.
The Norfolk line steamer was delayed
nine hours in reaching this city from
| Norfolk She came into port about 4
| O'Clock i'm the afternoon in time TO dis
charge her cargo and reload for her trip
| The steamer Harry Randall was also
detained by the fog and arrived last night
several hours late.
The big excursion steamer ST Johns has
| been made ready to go to Baltimore under
her own steam. Within the next day or
two she will leave here, to be gone six
weeks or longer.
While at the Baltimore shipyard the
