EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES I'M MARHON COUNTY

The most important enterprise of
any community is that of educating
it's people. In order that there be an
intelligent citizenship, and that ignor-
ance be not the characteristic condi-
ton the community assumes the obli-
cation of the enlightenment of its own
masses for it's own preservation and
elevation.
No section of the state of Florida
has been more richly endowed by ma
ture with the essentials of material
development than has Marion county,
and she long ago recognized that the
most absolutely essential thing for the
success and happiness of her people
was that they be rendered and main
tanned civil and intelligent. In order
to accomplish this in the fullest and
most satisfactory manner she early
made liberal provision for the devel-
opment of her public school system.
The building of a system of schools
taken years of persistent labor to
bring the county system to the de-
gree of perfection that we now enjoy
The development of the present sys-
tenn is largely due to the enthusiastic
interest of Honorable Marion L.
Payne and Honorable William D.
earn, who each served long terms of
usefulness. The former was superin-
tendent of the county for sixteen
years, during the formative stage of
the system, and the latter succeeded
him and was superintendent for
twelve years, during which time he
advanced and amplifed the system.
1t goes without saying that each was
supported by boards composed of citi-
zens alive to the educational needs
and ambitions of the county.
On January 1st, 1909, Prof. Jasper
~, descended from a pioneer family,
came to the superintendency He had
been prominently identified with the
school interests of the county and
state for a number of years, and
brings to the office experience, enthu-
siasm and devotion.
The present board of public instruc-
ton consists of Honorables William
d. earn of Ocala, Benjamin R. Bitch
of Rlitchfon. and John 6. Grantham of
Fort Mccoy. With the exception of
Mr. earn, who was formerly superin-
tendent, the members have each been
on the board for number of years.
The county is magnificent domain
in territory, almost rectangular in
shape, with the county site, Ocala, in
the geographical and transportation
center This situation adapts it adj
mirably to the development of a
county system, centering in the coun-
ty high school, located at the county
site. This is the policy of the pres
ent authorities to build splendid
county system, eliminating in the
county high school at the capital, in
similar manner to the state system
eliminating in the State University
and the Florida College for Women.
1t has been the policy of the authori-
ties to distribute the funds in such
manner as to meet the needs of the
people as completely as possible to the

Owing to the rapidly increasing pep
ulation of the county, the public
school enrolment has largely increas-
ed during the last two or three years.
The tendency is to raise the grade
and efficiency of the teaching force
and to render more hearty and sub
stantial support to the school inter
ests.
Among the colored schools there is
one institution that is unique in this
part of the state. 1t is Fessenden
Academy, at Fessenden, about seven
miles north of Ocala, on the Atlantic
Coast Line Ry. It is operated jointly
between the county and the American
Missionary Association, with the con-
troll of the county predominating. At
the head is Prof. Jos. L. Wiley, who
came to the school thirteen years ago
as a young man not long out of col
lege, but cOnsecrated to the work OF
preparing the colored youth for use
