tory OF Lake Weir and its water
supply for the last twenty years
might be of interest TO some OF your
readers who think the lake is mex
hausti ole. from reliable informa-
ton gathered from old residents
here and from evidence seen on our
beach. Lake Weir was fully 100 feet
higher on the beach. This means
the lake was fully seven feet higher
on the level than il is at present.

he had been a student at the Ocala

! fact He then referred to the import

tions and their continued development
and the great needs Of the same He
| said the needs Of the day and hour
We're well prepared ana competent
| teachers In Ohio no one could teach
who was not graduate Of state
normal college. In Akron Ohio, not
only were teachers required to have
normal certificates. but must have two
years experience as teacher before
they could secure positions in those
schools He said the great need Of a
teacher is psychological knowledge. to
know the pupil and give him the ben
| eft OF such knowledge. No class OF
people needed this information to a
greater degree than the teacher and
the preacher two of the greatest
forces in progress and good govern
! ment in the land. He said in a late
preachers institute the speaker asked
those present. who had and read the
most up-tO- date psychology, anC
i there was only one teacher in the
number that had trained himself tc

Dir. b. Goldman, who is one of the
holders in Palmetto Park. has quite a
scheme in his head. He believes in
forming building association. each
lot owner 20 contribute a certain sum
each month, the association to deter
mine the character of the buildings to
be erected, say none to cost less than
$500 and as soon as this sum Is Sc
cured by monthly contribution, to draw
by lot TO see who Is TO receive that
money, which he must put In build
ing. In this way a good and desirable
Gloss Of buildings would be erected and
the value Of the property would be ad-
vanced. The idea Is a good one and If
all interested in the project would
unite to this end. 1t would prove a
paying proposition. Think it over and
then get together for business.
