The school board of Stanton is to
be commended for the progressive
spirit shown in the measures taken to
promote the health of the pupils.
Sanitary drinking fountains have been
in use for some time; moist cloths
are used in busting the school-rooms,
desks are adjusted to the size of the
pupils and now tests are to be made
to discover defects in sight and hear
ing among the children. Another san
itary improvement is the introduction
of vacuum cleaning outfit.-Virginia

With the temporary abandonment
of this plan by it's original promoters.
Florida seemed to sleep for some
years. Then Henry NJ. Flagler con
ceived and put under way the unique
and very daring plan of skirting the
eastern coast line Of Florida with a
railroad and continuing it over the
keys until at last true terminal
would be reached at or near Key
West, and thece by overnight ocean
ferry to Havana Railway capital
was also secured for the cOnstruc-
ton of the west coast line to Tampa.

roads came one of the best demonstra-

it will owe its progress and its in
crease in population to immigration
from the north and from the west,
Some have thought that the climatic
conditions are somewhat ennervating,
especially in southern Florida. Tour
lists have sometimes complained that
they find the air too humid, some
what like the dog days of late summer
in the north. But statistics gathered
by the Florida authorities tend to
show that the climate must be very
healthful, for the death rate, except
among some of the descendants of
those who lived in Florida long before
the civil war, is shown to be as low,
relatively speaking, as anywhere in
the United States
Few persons realize that Florida is,
in area. one of the largest of the
states of the Union and it is one of
the evidences of the sincerity with
which its citizens are developing the
resources of the state that they have
relied chiefly upon their own capital
or upon capital obtained in neighbor-
ing states for these great undertak-
ings, except, of course. that the extern
sions of the great railway systems
