VOX POPULI.
PEOPl E SHOULD TAKE INTEREST
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
l. All people who give the matter
serious consideration readily acknow[
edge that next to the parent the con.
scientiOus teacher moulds the child
and thereby forms the future man or
woman as the case may be. Indeed,
in the education of the child the school
teacher is, in majority of cases, the
only factor.
Then it becomes an extremely i'm
portant thing that We have good and
we'll qualified teachers in our schools.
Teachers who are not simply wage
earners, but those who love children
and have their welfare at heart.
We believe that we have an ezcep-
tionalIy good corps of teachers in our
school, No. 20. Mrs. Q. E. McReynolds
assistants. Their efforts to properly
teach the little ones in the primary
grades have not only been crowned
with success, but have met the ap-
prevail of the parents.
Wednesday afternoon, the 18th inst,
Mrs. McReynoIds asked that the
parents and friends of the school meet
herself and the other teachers to talk
over the needs OF the school in gen.
eral.' Quite q number were present
and listened with interest to the good
talk given them in which many points
concerning our schools not generally
known were explained and the needs
of the pupils in general set forth.
It was shown so clearly that the
school needed many things that are
not provided by the general fund that
some OF the parents present made q
donation of over $4,000 for that pu1-
pose, Mr. R. F. Mitchell being the prin-
cipaf donor. This money is to be
used to procure drawing materials and
other items needed and to get a cass
to keep them in. After these items
are procured and arranged for use, an
other parents meeting will be called.
1t would add greatly to the efficiency
Of our schools if such meetings could
be held in all the schools of the city.

MAGNIFICENT RACE
OF MR.. BLOUNT
OCala Banner.

Mr.. Biount's friends may we'll feel
proud over the magnificent race he
made in the first primary.
He carried his home town and his
home county almost solidly.
And in the home town and county
of his opponents he won a victory over
one and came very near tieing the
other
The only thing urged against Mr.
Blount is that he is the attorney of the
L. & n. Railway Company, which is
expressing the people of West Florida,
and that Mr.. Blount Is largely respon
sible for the oppression. The L. & n.
runs from Pensacola to River juno
ton, and the vote Of the people of that
section tells in fitting language of the
confidence they repose in Mr. B1ount's
ability. integrity and purity of charac-
ter. Of the 4,709 votes polled in that
section of the state Mr.. BIount got all
but 9S6.
This does not look like the people
living there feel that Mr. Blount is
one of their oppressors.
The vote of the people who know
him speak in trumpet tones in his
favor.
hey for the L. & n. railway is made
purely to arouse the feelings and in
flame the passions of the people
against him, but fortunately for the
country, and fortunately for the demo
cratic party, those old arguments,
used by smaller men as stepping
stones to Office, are rapidly dying out,
and the people are beginning to be.
lieve that they should be represented
in the congress of the United States
by the braniest and best men that car
be secured.
In the early days Of the republic,
when the south exercised such a po-
tential influence in the councils of the
nation, she did SO by sending her
ablest and purest men to the legisla-
tive halls, and it behooves her to re
peat the history Of those times and
send her ablest men to represent her
~once again.
II is generally conceded that Mr..
Blount is F1orida's ablest son; it is
admitted that none are more pure,
that # elected to the United States
senate he would reflect credit not
alone upon the state, but upon the en-
tire nation. Why let little petty preju-
dices deny US the fame that we would
achieve through him for the state?
It is our duty TO vote for the ffttest
man, and it is conceded by those who
are not friendly to him that he is that
man
We believe that Mr. Blount will
easily win in the second primary.

Dealing With the
Party Boilers.

Many have advanced the question az
20 whether a voter bolttng the party
nominee In the general election IS en-
titled to vote in the primaries or not,
and the Democrats Of Palm Beach
county have given their answer and
say emphatically no. The Miami Ne
tropolis says;
The light vote in Pain, Beach was
due more to the refusal Of the man
ayers to permit boilers in the recent
election to vote as to lack of in
terest
The determination Of the election
managers to bar out of the Democratic
primary all voters who bolted the
Democratic ticket in the general cleo
tion was applied to some of the most
prominent citizens of the county and
caused no little excitement. There
was talk of getting out peremptory
niandamus to cause the election man
ayers to permit them to vote, but it all
ended in talk and froth No little feel
ing was engendered by this action OF
the managers, which was brought
about by the wholesale boiling Of the
regular county ticket in the last cleo,
ton which resulted in the defeat OF
Guy Metcalf, the regular nominee for
county clerk, by an independent can
didate. Other regular nominees were
defeated also.
These boilers evidently thought
they could continue in the Democratic
party as before and in the primary

Someone is complaining Of a lack OF
refinement in the schools of many
states. This should not be true. Re

thoroughly -ducated person is refined.

refinement which is usually bred in

The first Friday in February is Ar

Public Instruction Holloway urges all
Of the teachers OF the state to observe

and to plant trees or shrubbery on the
grounds Of the school, and to other
wise beautify the lawns and campuses
with flowers.

The Work of
The Associated Charities.

Since becoming an Incorporated
body on April Is. 1909, the Associated
Charities of Pensacola has had a re-
markable record as their statement
after eighteen months of operation
shows. The report In detail is inter
esting and shows the systematic and
thorough manner in which charity in
its many forms has been administered
to the needy.
Believing that charity did not con.
sist simply in the giving of aims to
those appealing for aid, and to provide
a means whereby the 1mposters and
professional beggars would be elimi-
mated, the Associated Charities was
formed by a band of charitable citizens
in order that the most good might be
accomplished with the means avail
able.
| The affairs of the Associated Chart
ties are conducted by secretary, who
kepes record Of all cases and inves-
tigates each applicant: visiting nurse
who works diligently for those who
are i'll and need special treatment; be-
sides the assistance and sympathy
given by the various committees and
officers.
With this force of interested work
ers the Associated Charities has ac
complished more during the eighteen
months of its existence than the same
number working separately could have
accomplished in score of years. In
this time nearly four hundred cases, in
which more than nine hundred indi-
vtduals were benefited, have COME be-
fore the Associated Charities to be
considered.
Aid has been given to the needy
until positions were secured, which in
nearly every case the applicants were
eager to get Homes have been found
