the largest town in the United States

Of course we are going to have more
railroads and then we are going, I
believe, to rapidly approach the rank

Pensacola with her wonderful natural
advantages has never heretofore got
ten more and better railroad facilities,
l would reply, Because she did not
deserve them"

communities seem to be subject to the

the good work it has done. When ever
anything was needed to be done. they
were always the first to respond.
Their scouting and camping has been
of f1rst-c class order and their scout
master. Williams, assisted by Patrol
Leaders Bancroft and Sims, are to be
congratulated on their success.
The activities of the Boy Scouts has
been varied. Not only would they de-
vote their time to outings and camps,
though this was an important part of
their program, but duties that could be
performed by them in order that they
might help others were cheerfully
taken hold of and manfully executed.
Perhaps it would be acting as guard
at an outdoor entertainment, or as
was done, the escorting of delegates to
the Methodist conference to the homes
assigned them, the Scouts were there
with their services.
The membership in the Boy Scouts
is not at all confined to the members
of the Y. NJ. c. a. Any boy in the
city over twelve years of age is eligible
to membership.
Their Outings.
During the last three months the ac-
tivltieS of the Scouts in the open have
been numerous. One overnight camp
has been had. The camping was done
out on DR.. Kennedys land. Thirty
five Scouts We're delighted with their
taste of camp life. Every Saturday at
nine thirty o'clock a band of Scouts
can been seen starting out from the
Y. M. c. A. for a day of scouting in
the woods. They cook their own din
ner, making their own fire with only
two matches. These tramps have
proved very satisfactory indeed, for
the boy is taught self-reliance with
out having to undergo hardship in the
learning of the lesson.
Recess Play Work.
Experiments are being made over
the entire country to prove that the
old system of pedagogy should no
longer be used by our public schools.
This out-of-date method made no al
lowances for the principle that does
more to make manhood and woman
hood than any other namely, systema-
tiZed play. Formerly there was moth
ing to school but birch rod, IN

generally recognized in Pensacola, the
ole adage that God helps them who
help themselves" failed to impress its
serious meaning on the minds OF its
citizenship.
Cities are Built.
G. Grosvenor Dave, of the Southern
Commercial Congress. coined a great
truth into words when he said: Cities
do not grow; they are built"
wish every person interested in the
development of this nature favored city
would give this thought consideration
worthy of its import.
New railroads are building to our
city, and others are making strenuous
efforts to get in shape to build to us
but to reap the advantages that should
accrue from them in all their fullness
the citizenship of Pensacola must
stand by and do its duty, in makins
available for capital and trade, the
more or less undeveloped resources
and opportunities within our borders.
Every successful merchant knows
that it pays to advertise, but the most

Just so communities are like indi-
Viduals, and with the new era that is
about to dawn on Pensa cola through
the new arteries of trade assured to
her VIII come greater responsiveness,
To meet them satisfactorily a greater
public spirit will be needed, and were
it possible to engender this spirit to
a degree commensurate with the re-
sources that nature has so bountifully
blessed us with, venture the prophecy
that within a very few years the fame
of Pensacola would spread all over
our land, and she would assume pro-
portions as a mart Of trade and COM

dreams of any Of her citizens.

ment left them during the day. The
work consisted only Of grinds that the
pupil was not interested in. Gradually
the conception of the ideal school
changed and it is now the school for
the child rather than the child for the
school a boy loves play and to bring
that thing that boy likes into his
developing process is to make his de-
velopment more rapid and permanent.
Thus the school playground as e, fac
tor in education has forged to the
front and hence the widespread effort
to institute in every school systena-
TIED play.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation heartily endorses recess play
work as a potent factor in the educa-
ton of Americas young manhood and
womanhood. As a part of its extension
work, an attempt is being made to see
instituted in every school in Pensacola
regular playground work conducted by
the teachers of those schools.
The playground directress, Miss
Ethel Chase. who has had for several
years considerable experience in this
work, and Mr.. Mcdowell, boys d.
rector. have been visiting several of
the schools and the foundation laid for
some good work has been the result of
the visits. Number forty has taken up
the work and large space has been
cleared for a playground. Already has
this been used. On Thanksgiving, I'M
der the direction of Miss Spencer, a
track meet was pulled off with dis
tinct success. Number one, that has
more students than any one of the
other schools, is attempting to utilize
the little space they have for play
work. Number forty three, with it's
hundred and fifty students, has laid
definite plans for systematized play.
The work that has been done is en-
couraging and greater efforts should
be put forth by those who see the
educative value of the work. So in
short while not only three or four
schools will be working systematically
for the desired end, but every school in
Pensacola day after day actually using
the recess hour for play that will make
their pupils stronger Intellectually,
