Pensacola is the Place
For the Presentation.

Ever since the battleship which is
to bear the n1me of Florida was begun
It has been taken as matter Of course
that the presentation of the silver SER
vice would take place in Pensacola.
Not until within the last few weeks
has Pensacola's right to this honor
been disputed, but now the people OF
Fernandina are attempting to have the
presentation made there.
A large committee Of Fernandina
people are at work in this interest and
some Jacksonville people are behind
thi movement as well and it is prob
able that the Jacksonville Board OF
Trade viii cooperate to that end.
The Journal will not undertake to
argue the advantages Of having the
presentation In Pensacola, the deepest
harbor south Of Newport News, for
they are too we'll known. There Is
everything here to accommodate the
hundreds who will come to witness the
presentation ceremonies and the enter
tsinments which win follow can be
better carried out in the Deep Water
City.
But the purpose of this editorial is
not to argue the advantages this city
offers, but to call to the attention of
Pensacolians what another city is try
ing to do and to let our citizens realize
that unless we do something ourselves
we might be left when the time comes,
-- The silver service was made pos
sible by private subscriptions and Pen
sacolians were liberal with their con-
tributions, so much so, that the men
soliciting the funds insisted that other
sections Of the. state be allowed to give
their parts. Pensacola contributed
more than any other city toward the
silver service. and while at the time II
was generally admitted that the pre-
sentation would be made here 1t was
not from that fact alone that the con-
tributions were so liberal, but from q
patriotic spirit alone.
Now The Journal feels confident
that the presentation will be made here
as has been planned for several years,
yet our citizens who are boosters for
Deep Water City cannot afford to
be idle while another city is at work
trying to secure the coveted prize. II
is high time that something was done
for the battleship will be put in COM
mission in November and the presen-
tation viii probably take place in the
winter or early spring.
- A word to the wise is SUFFICIENT.

AFFAIR and thA grounds are in an untidy
and poorly kept condition. 1t should
not be So The school house should be
one OF the best buildings in the com
munity. I should be warm in the win
ter and cool in the warmer months and
the grounds should be kept in a sani-
tary and inviting condition.
A child's surroundings during the
school age work to a large extent
toward the habits of the child after 1t
has grown up. But most especially
are good buildings. properly lighted.
heated and ventilated desired on ac-
count of the health of the children.
Children stay in the school house six
hours day eight months in the year
for ten or twelve years and they should
be given the best of buildings.
Florida is doing better in the way OF
school buildings, but every community
in the state ought to realize its duty
to the children during their school
days. The pamphlet is full of infor-
nation and instruction as to the con-
struction OF buildings and grounds and
will prove of benefit to those in charge
of such work.

Better School Houses
Are Needed.

Every Floridian, especially parents of
children who are of school age, or will
soon be Of school age, should read the
federal implicit which deals at length
with the school houses of America It
brings to the readers attention facts
which show how children at the tender
age are not properly looked after in
the matter OF school houses and play
grounds.
The pamphlet shows the seven mil
lion dollars a year is the sum that is
spent in this country for the construc-
ton OF new school buildings. This
does not include normal schools or
colleges. but only common schools, with
which the people come directly into
contact. The up-keep Of these build
ings amounts to other millions year.
The total value of all school house
property in the country runs into the
hundreds of millions.
During the past twenty-five years
the selection Of sites and the designing
and construction Of school houses has
been made a scientific study. Years
and years ago 1t was thought that any
room, heated In winter by an old box
stove, would do as a school room. In
the country districts the little red
school house" was hardly more than a
box Of boards with a door and three or
four windows. In the cities the school
houses lacked the plumbing and acces-
series necessary to render them hy-
gienic. But there has been a big
change. The little red school house"
has been supplanted by modern
building with lawn and playground and
hover beds, and the city school house
MAS been supplied with everything sug-
s sested as necessary by science.
Olsentimes in Florida in communi-
re where there are comfortable and
commodious and modern dwellings the
school house is a poorly built frame

FINE MEETINGS ARE
Special TO The Journal

Cora, Sept. 5.-Evangelist s. G, John
son, of the Baptist Tabernacle church
OF Atlanta, conducted at the Cora
church last week one of the greatest
revivals ever had in this section, AT
the beginning of the meeting things
seemed very discouraging. there being
much sickness in the community, and a
great deal of cotton to pick, but IN
spite of these 1t held out for ten days,
and at almost every service the house
was crowded. Twenty united with the
church, but this does not express the
results Of the meeting. Everybody
was greatly spiritually uplifted, and We
feel quite sure many were inspired to 9
greater service In the future.
Mr.. p. L. Diamond, who has been
sick with typhoid fever for three
weeks, is now slowly improving.
Mr.. Garfield Lord was visiting rela-

carried to Mobile last week for an OPP

teachers are expected when 1t opens
again.

that the navy department has not act

but instead sent it to places which
had greater political pull, and
charged up against the Pensacola yard
the wages of officers and enlisted men
(who, of course, would have to be paid
anyhow, and then complained that the
yard was not self-supporting. There
seems to be much merit in The Jour-
