the proper use Of English even IL he
Is able to take dictation.
The quick to-learn, no-efrort- svs-
TENS of shorthand advertised 50 much
nowadays are among the most com
mon fakes. Those who believe that a
young person of only fair education
can learn enough Of any system OF
shorthand In four or FIVE weeks. to be
able to write one hundred and fifty
words per minute must be easily de-
cefved.
Parents who can AFFORD only a bust.
ness education for their sons and
daughters should exercise as careful
thought IN the selection Of q business
school as the rich man does in send
ing his son to college. In deciding this
question they should be sure that the
school curriculum Includes a strong
course in English branches. All bust
ness men and educators are unanimous
in their opinion that spelling. pune
tuation, letter writing and composition
are as important as any part of the
course.
The Journal recently had a position
open for some young man who could
have used the position as a stepping
stone to something considerably higher
up. Out of a dozen applicants ranging
from Is to 20 years of age, only one
had passed the ninth grade in the pub
lie schools. 1t is useless to take a boy
with no more education than that and
try to make competent and respori-
stble office man out of him. 1t can be
done, but the time and trouble are too
great to make IT profitable.
The defect in most of the smaller
schools. and particularly the business
colleges. is that they do not devote
enough attention to ENGLISH. with
proper understanding of English, a
young mans possibilities are almost
unlimited. But all of the rest of hfs
education and development must be
based on that. Any education without
English is failure before it begins.
and any school which assumes to edIf-
cate person in any branch when such
person does not first understand Eng
lish is a fake school.

Some Examples Of

great deal is said from time to time about the in
nquities the fee system in Florida but few
illustrations of the workings of that system are ever pub

To-day The Journal begins the publication of
Of Illustrations, taken from the records of the criminal
costs in Escambia County, showing just what the fee
system means, far, at least it affects the criminal
courts of the state and showing also what Offices get the
money
We don't know how many of these Illustrations we

tax payers with the workings of this part of the fee sys

taxes CO.
If anyone has any questions to ask about any of
these cases The Journal will try answer such

would add to the value of the discussion The Journal

Booker Washington
And His Trouble.

After reading both sides Of the dues-
ton and without putting any feeling
into the matter one way or another, VIE
have reached the conclusion that this
German Janitor and WASHINGTON were
the victims of circumstances and can
not find grottAd to blame either of
them for their conduct.
The people OF the south know Wash

unlikely that he would do such a thing
as peep through the keyhole of an

statement about looking on the name
plate for his friends. This is. done
every day in every large city and no
doubt Washington had often done II
before.
| On the other hand the German can
not be censured for his action in free
ly using his club upon the head Of the
educator. Evidently he was Of tn
opinion that the negro was leokif1

The German did not know who h
was attacking, but saw it was maj

and he did like every other man in hi
place would have done. He was with

Is this mans estimate of people cor

about education? Does the same hold

There Is no royal road to a complete
education in any of these things. Per-
lection, OF near-perfection, requires
study and practice. You can't learn to
play the piano without first under
standing music and later devottne
months and years to practice on the
keyboard. You can't learn stenographs
without first understanding English
nor can you learn to operate type

PENSACOLA AND

A Jacksonville business man went
to jail rather than pay small fine for
speeding his automobile. claiming the
fine was insufficient If he was guilty.
Now, If that isn't proof that the asylum
inmates are made in Jacksonville" we
call upon Frank Huffaker to tell us
mere
that We go to jail of our own accord
When we catch ourselves speeding.
Unnecessary to state, though, we DOM
speed often. for fear of running ov.r
