Community Exhibits.
Manager N. ]. Lillard, of the Pen
sacola Interstate Fair, notes with
pleasure the interest the Democrat
has taken in its endeavor to interest
our people in a community exhibit
to be carried to the fair in November.
In letter to the Democrat, Manager
Lillaro says: Il note that you have
taken up the question of community
exhibits. j think in urging the far
mers or your section to come forward
and enter the lists of community ex-
hibitors you have struck the keynote
OF development along the agriculture
lines. I do not believe that there is
any one thing that could more rapid
ly promote advancement in farming
than these exhibits from the various
communities, This will promote a
friendly rivalry which is bound to
work for good"
The Democrat is glad to give its
farmer readers this bit of informa-
ton: 1t has recently been decided by
the Pensacola Fair Association to Of
fer special premium of SIS for the
best community exhibit. This is sep
arate from any premium offered in
the catalogue, as the question of COM
munity exhibits was taken up after
the premium lists were printed.

faction and at the same time would
do this community a great deal Of
good to have a nice exhibit at this
fair. 1t would pay handsomely from an
advertising standpoint alone. We
hope the farmers will begin work on
this at once by laying aside some Of
their best products to place in an
exhibit to- be sent to Pensacola--Flo-

Florida's School
System is Good.

= Now that the time for the opening
of the schools and colleges in the state
is about to arrive 1t is not amiss to let
the patrons of these schools know. If
they do not already know. that Florida
public schools rank high among the
states OF the south.
Florida has been handicapped in sew
eral ways and the fact that the schools
are up to the standard reflects much
credit upon those who have made 1t
possible. and the individual counties

II so.
First. the population has been small
and scattered and It has been a hard
matter to secure teachers who could
teach the rural schools from the pri-

but this has been accomplished in q
large measure. Where the counties

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER Is. 1911,
A Fish Exhibit
At the Fair.

Can't. John Caro- makes a suggestion
that there be a fish exhibit at the In
terstate Fair either combined with the
Escambia county exhibit or separate
and apart from 1t. He says that he
believes there are few things which
win advertise this section, Pensacola
especially, better than to have Pensa-
cola fish and oysters on the tables Of
people in this and other states. The
captain also says that there are enough
fish in the southern waters to make
the meat trust people go into hiding.
The Journal heartily endorses what
Capt. Caro- suggests. There should be
a fish exhibit at the fair, not merely
an exhibit OF a few large specimens
but every kind OF fish that is good to
eat and they ought to be cooked at the
grounds and the visitors should be
given a goodly sample to eat to find
out how delightful the fish really -are
when prepared properly.
Thousands Of wounds of fish are
shipped from Pensacola each year, but
II is very doubtful If the ultimate con-
sumer knows from where it comes. and
in many Instances knows how to pre-
pare the fish to the best advantage.
Pensacola fish should have a reputa-
ton for they are the best in the world,
and then too. great many more fish
would be eaten If the people knew
exactly how to prepare them. If there
is an exhibit at the fair where the
fish are cooked and anyone desiring to
watch the process may have the OPP
portunity there will be many thou
sands Of visitors who will want to eat
ever afterward the Pensacola fish.
Some cities are advertised by the
automobiles shipped from them. Others
are advertised daily on account of the
furniture coming from them and other
cities have their advertising features
but there is not better way to adver-
people and If the fish sent out of this
city daily could become known to the
world as Pensacola Fish then Pensa-
cola would derive much advertising
and the fish dealers would profit and
the city would be benefited.
The waters around Pensacola are
full of variety OF fish which are de-
licious and the most fastidious could
not ask anything better, and 1t be-
hooves Pensacolians to push this In
dustry for it win mean great deal tc
the city.
1t would be better if the county ex-
hibit could have fish department al
the fair and have the fish cooked there
care to eat it. Pensacola ish are
already famous TO those who know OF
them and this viii be an excellent op-
portunity to advertise them.

naunities in many instances have seen
to II that the funds were provided.
Second. the counties have not had
the right to issue bonds for school pur-
poses, this being declared illegal by the
supreme court, and this has been q
very serious handicap to the school au-
thorities, but in spite these difficult
ties the school officials have been UNI
firing and faithful and have marched
along shoulder to shoulder with the Of
hcials Of other states who had every
thing to help them.
AS an evidence of the progress MADE
within the last few years we take from
an interview with superintendent Hol-
loway in the Times Union, the follow
ing figures:
THE two wears. 1904 and 1910. are
taken for purposes of comparison. For
the former year the school populaLlon
was 1872. 600. for the latter, I'll. $50; en-

ries paid there has been quite as
marked advancement as in any other
particular. thus showing that teachers
Of superior abilities and attachments
are being employed, and consequently
that the instruction impaired 10 aof
higher quality and the schools taught
by these instructors are of better grade
than formerly. The highest monthly
salary paid to male teachers In 1904
was $500, to females. 10000: in 1910
these figures had grown to $4,000
and $4,000, respectively. The average
monthly salaries had increased from
s38.49 to $52.16.
The total revenue for school pur-
poses within the same time had in
creased from $1,07S,0S9.42 to $1.s0S.-
77812; the value Of school property,
including furniture and apparatus,
from 81, 209 052.00 to $2.790,S69.00. The
average annual salaries paid county
superintendents were, In the two years,
S76100 and $1.263.00. respectively.
Floridians should take satisfaction in
knowing that the public schools of the
state are as good as those Of other
southern states and that improvements
are being made just as fast as 1t is
practicable to do So
The two state colleges are all that
could be asked Of them and there are
o. er universities in the state which
are first class In every particular,
From an educational standpoint the
children of Florida need not ask for
better facilities and good school facili-
ties are one of stats greatest as
sets.
