Not the Critic Who Counts

1T is not the critic who counts
not the man who points out how
the strong man stimbles, or where
the doer of deeds could have done
them better. The credit belongs
to the man who is actually in tho
arena, whose face is marred by
dust and sweat and blood; who
strives valiantly, who errs and
comes short again and again, be
cause there is no effort without
error and shortcomings, but who
does actually strive to do the deeds,
who knows the great enthusiasm,
the great devotions, who spends
himself in worthy cause, who a.
the best, knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement and
who at the worst, if he fails, at
least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be

who know neither victory nor de-

Jacksonville. Fla. The Florida Bap-
tist academy is splendid tribute TO
the energy and thriftiness of Afro
Americans. The growth of the insti-
tuition. with its plant and equipment,
which is conservatively estimated at
$4,000. is largely due TO the excep-
tional qualifications of its honored
president, Professor \. w. Collier. BY
diligence and strict attention to the
many duties which devove upon him

Mr.. Collier has won many friends for
the school.
The school is fortunate In being To-
Gated in a picturesque section of the
city. As Florida may justly be called
the gateway TO the tourist section of
the south. any number of prominent
educators and travellers from the
north visit the academy on their an
nual pilgrimages to this section dur
ing the winter season.

school has elected the highest com
