Another Letter From Florida

DEAR FRIEND:
1 shall never get through praising the
STATE OF Florida and the city of Miami.
Miami has several claims to distinction,
and there are as many reasons why it is
destined to be a city of large population
and commercial Importance. 1t is the
s~outhernmost city of the United States
on the mainland. A glance at the map
OF Florida will readily emphasize the
truth of this statement. The city OF
Miami never fails to surprise the visitors.
1t is the instant and permanent source of
wonder to everyone who comes here.
Great cities have been built in the
west during the last half century that
have been marvels and models in city
structure. But even the men of the west
who have had part in the building Of
these wonderful centres of population do
not hesitate to pronounce Miami the most
modern and complete of any city they
have visited, and that so much has been
accomplished in SO short a time.
A little more than thirteen years ago
Miami was incorporated. The Florida
East Coast Railway reached this point OH
April 10, 1896. and from this date the
creation of the city began. Prior to that
there was not even a village, only a few
houses built of palmetto. Mr.. Flagler,
who built the railroad, began at once the
construction of one of his palatial hotels
and called it The Palm. 1t was followed
by the erection of a number of cottages.
The climate and the location of the town,
OH Biscayne Bay, at once commended it
as an ideal winter resort. The founda-
ton of the place was its claim to an I'M
usual climate, offering grateful refuge
from the rigorous winters OF the north
and offering al asylum to persons afiict-
/ ed with rheumatic, asthmatic and pulrnon-
airy ailments. 1t is below the frost line
and the excessive heat of the summer as
well as the chill Of the winter. Such all
| ideal climate and location are seldom
combined. To create a city out Of a trop-
ical wilderness in thirteen years may well
be accounted a wonderful performance.
1t is provided with electric lights, gas,
water, and telephone service, modern and
satisfactory.
The pineapple crop is upwards OF q hall
million crates annually. The largest
grapefruit groves in the world are stu
F! ated within a few miles OF Miami.
All of the public buildings are built OF
native rock, which is deposited in great
abundance here. 1t is inexpensive, dura-
l BILE and very ornamental for building

Crossing the Rockies
Arvada, COL, Feb. 20 1910

FRIEND SUMMERILL:
1 write you a few words this evening in
regard to my trip to California. ! mailed
you a paper and book yesterday and
hope you received it all right.
l have had a very pleasant time here
and would not have missed the trip for a
great deal. The scenery here is superb,
and the climate is all that one could wish.
1t is the finest for health, l suppose, of
any place in the world. While the peo-
pie of the east are suffering with cold we
can have our doors open. I have not
had my shoe soles damp from nov this
winter. But do not think we have none
here. All you have to do is to look up
at the Rockies and there you will see
plenty of it all the year round.
l go to Denver every day. 1t is a fine
city. I was up in the dome of the Capt.
tol to-day and could see the peaks OF the
large mountains 200 miles away. From
where we live in Aryada une can see
Pixies Peak, 80 miles away.
I shall leave this, the Queen City Of the
West, Tuesday morning, the 22d, at 7.30
o'clock ON the Overland Limited Southern
Express for California, and my first stop
will be at Ogden, Utah, which we will
reach on the second morning out; then
/ we 20 to Salt Lake City and spend a few
| days and then direct to San Francisco
where l shall make my headquarters and
make side trips from there.
The first place I shall visit will be the
| Santa Catalina Islands, as that is where
| the Marine Gardens are. They are seen
from glass bottom steamboats,. The glass
is 30 arranged that about seventy-fve
| persons can sit around and look down
| into the sea and have a clear view of the
sea-weeds and flowers rooted beneath the
rocks, and all kinds of fish sporting be-
meath. The island is twenty-one miles
long and five miles wide, and is out in
the Pacific about thirty miles.
1 shall spend some time in Los Angeles
and in Upland and other places of interest
on the Pacific coast. l shall take the
Pacific Mail Steamer and 60 to Portland,
Oregon, Seattle and Tacoma, after which
I shall return to Denver and spend tile
rest of my vacation there.
If l live I shall return east about nexi
November or December, after spending
about a year in travelling. If anyone had
told me the 22d of last February that
would be crossing the backbone of the
continent on this 22d I would not have
believed them, but death and time make
many changes.
1 will write you again of my travels 81
as to let my friends know of my where
abouts. Please send me the RECORD, AN.
oblige, as 1 like to read the home news.

A Birthday Celebration

The home Of our genial undertaken,
the Hon. James D. TOrton, was the
scene Of a happy gathering on Thurs
day, February Oath. All present had
come to help our genial friend celebrate
his birthday anniversary, officially given
as fifty-six, but some are skeptical.
Well, he is still young in spirit, allagree.
Away, then, with annoying vital sta.
tistics.
AS usual in the home of the "Torton
clann," all enjoyed a generous repast.
The following were on hand to wish
him ''56" more: Mi. and Mrs. VIM.
D. Torton, ]. Ford Thompson, Miss
Lou d. Thompson, Mrs. Anna Stanton,
Mrs. Charles L. Smith and family, Mr..
and Mrs Frank Summerill and daughter,
John N. Bevis, Mrs. Emma Royal,
Mr.. and Mrs. II. j. Blohm, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Torton, Mrs. Eli Zane, Miss
Ada Dolbow, Miss Sallie Y. Dolbow,
Mrs. Chas. Mat:son, Mrs. Harry Smith,
Mr.. John Wood and son, and Rev.
and Mrs. E. A. Miller and family.

purposes. A great many Of the private
residences are also constructed with it.
A palatial hotel, with red tile roofing,
called The White Palace, will accommo-
date six hundred guests. All the hotels
and private boarding houses are full and
they have put in cots to accommodate
the tourists.
The cold winter has sent them focking
down here. In fact, Florida is a play
ground for the northern people, and it is
as yet only in its infancy.
In my last letter I failed to mention
all the fruits grown here. There lie the
sapodilla, to be eaten like an apple. 1t
has a rough exterior, like a Sheldon pear,
and is the best fruit here with the ex-
ception of the orange. They also grow
figs and almOns.

A meeting Of the teachers and boards
of education of the county was heio III
the Assembly Room of the Salem high
School on Saturday last. A very inter-
esting program was carried OUT tne
morning exercises having been especially
arranged for teachers, and the afternoon
session for both teachers and boards OF
education. The three speakers oil the Gay
we're: Miss Elizabeth Davidson, OF
| Friends Central School, of Philadelphia;
DIR. M. Stanley Black, Medical Inspector
| of the schools of Elmer; and Professor
Francis H. Green, of West Chester State
Normal School, Pennsylvania.
The Salem teachers, led by Prot. Z. +.
Glaspey. sang a chorus at the opening OF
the meeting. Prayer was offered by Rev.
w. v. Louderbou, pastor of First Presby-
terrain Church, of Salem. Miss Elizabeth
Davidson occupied the remainder OF the
morning with an instructive and needful
talk OH ssPenmanship for Grammar
Grades" after which a few announce
ments were made and the meeting was
adjourned for lunch.
The afternoon session opened with a
violin solo by Miss Margaret q. Bassett,
of R. H. Acton School, Salem, after which
Miss Davidson continued her talk ON
s'Penmanship for Primary Grades" Miss
Davidson's definition OF good writing, ls;
''That which is easy to write and easy to
read" Her instructions upon the placing
of the paper, the securing of good form
and movement, the length OF the daily
exercise and the formation and grouping
of the letters as they should logically be
taught, were pronounced by u teachers
to be the best that has ever been given IN
the county. The teachers present felt
that these talks gave them much needed
light upon this important subject.
DR.. L. M. Halsey, of Williamstown.
who is President of the State Hospital
Board, was unable to be present ON &C
count of having to start for Chicago to
attend a National Conference OIL Medical
Legislation, and Dr.. M. S. Black, Medi-
cal Inspector of the schools of Elmer and
Upper Pittsgrove Township, addressed
the meeting and read a very interesting
paper on medical Inspection OF Schools"
The doctor pointed out the necessity for
such inspection, and showed from his
personal experience the joys and sorrows
to the inspectors work in bring
ing about cleanliness among the school
children. Each school district is under
'egal obligation to engage and provide for
The salary of a medical inspector, and
of education, teachers and parents
are under moral obligation to assist in
the system satisfactory and bene-
iicial i'll all respects.
The last address OF the afternoon was
.iven by Professor Francis II. Green, on
Interrogation Points," This was brim-
ul of encouragement, instruction and EN-
oyment. No teacher could afford to miss
his address. Among the i~nterrogations
we're, "What am / here for? Am l fitted
or my job? Am l agreeable to live with?"
The dates of the spring examination of
,upils were announced, and the election
officers for the ensuing year was held,
g follows: President, J. A. WentzelI;
Iice-president. o. O. Barr; Treasurer,
