school Notes

On April 18th the physics class
took their trip to the electric light
plant. AS the class was SO largo
it was necessary to divide 1t into
two divisions. one division going
in the morning and the other In
the afternoon. The main. object
was to observe the dynamos. but
the class believe they saw every
thing worth seeing. which was con-
siderable, the manager OF the plant
even stopping the two big ma
chimes for their benefit. On Thurs
day of the same week the entire
class went out to the sugar fac
tory, where Mr.. Shiremam kindly
showed them over the same plant.
and explained the different parts
to them.
The observation of the actual use
of the machinery means much to
the students. The class appreciates
the kindness of the manager of the
light plant and Mr.. Gerecke In al

he has on hand a considerable
amount of what is termed school
funds. These funds are derived
from the sale and lease of state
lands and only the interest which
can be secured by the loaning OF
these funds can be expended. The
warrants issued by the state aud
itor draw 4 per cent INTEREST,". The
state treasurer is redeeming the
rants with this school fund and
holds them as security until next
year, when the funds are paid by
the various counties. At the pres
ent time the counties are remit
ting the funds of .1911 and the
state ttreeasurer is redeeming the
salary warrants which he cashed
out of school funds last year.
1t can be seen that at best
all business must be transacted on
an estimate. State Treasurer Ken
to what proportion of next years
taxes will be paid. If he cashes
a larger number of warrants this
year than will be redeemed by
the cash that comes in next year

the state treasurer says he will
never do. And 1t is because of
this condition that he declines to

tually sure will be collected. II
is a well known fact that last year
the treasurer was assured that the
Moffat estate would bring at least
$4,000 into the treasury. and act

to that estimate. The result IL

SCHOOL GARDENS

The school gardens have all been
graded for the last time and the
prizes awarded. We feel very we'll
pleased with the work the pupils have
done. The gardens on the whole
were very good. In fact, because OF
the large number of good gardens,
it was deemed impossible and unjust
to award but 25 prizes and on the
same basis as was first intended. In
many cases close distinctions could
not be made, and so greater num-
ber of prizes were awarded but OF
smaller amounts than formerly In.
tended, the sum total expended OF
course being the same. The school
gardens were supposed to be only in
the Warren and associated districts
but some pupils outside these districts
who applied and had good gardens
have also been included in the prize
list.
Following is the list of pupils re
ceiving prizes and the amounts OF
each.

WILL HELP SCHOOL CHILDREN

School officials of the state have
been notified of the Willingness of the
State Board of Health to help start
an inspection of the health of school
children of this place. The board
has employed Dr. Ernest B. Hoag,
Lecturer in Public Hygiene, of the
University of California to have
charge Of this work. He can be OBJ
tanned for a limited number of ad-
dresses on health subjects by apply
ing to the secretary of the State
Board of Health.
The board offers the local health
officers and school authorities blanks
for each pupil which when filled out
will give Dr. Hoag general idea OF
the health of the children in that par
ticular school. Many places in addi
ton to this survey are thinking o]
having regular inspection of the p,l
pills by a physician or nurse.
| In many places where a physical
examination Of the school children
| has been made parents and teachers
have been surprised at the generally
poor condition of the teeth and fire
quency of obstructions in the nose
These and other troubles not seer
easily, interfere with the progress o
! the pupil in school If corrected
when the child is young, he is saved

DEADLY DISEASE UNNECESSARY

During each year from 10000 to
$4,000 Americans die from typhoid
fever entailing an economic loss OF at
least s200,00e.000. But according to
DIR. Earl Mayo in a recent article this
can be prevented. The state board
of health has recently pointed out the
relation of the house fly to this dis
ease and how the germs are carried.
People thus get the disease when
they least suspect it.
BUT people can now be vaccinated
against typhoid fever as they can
against several other diseases. In
the U. S. army, all recruits will soon
thus be made immune to typhoid In
the big army maneuvers in Texas a
year ago there was only one case OF
typhoid fever among all the thou
sands of soldiers The conditions
were practically the same as during
the Spanish war when hundreds in
camp died of it.
Gradually people are learning to
protect themselves from sickness.

In 1.-THE Top o. tn World which,
with Bailey and Austin as stars. comes
to the opera house Thursday night,
there is one OF the few real novelties
which the stage has produced in many
seasons. It is the famous Collie
Ballet" a number in which six little
dancing girls, or ''broilers." do an in
tricate dance with six beautiful collie
dogs.
The average theatre-goer has no
conception Of the trouble, patience and
tedious training and rehearsing which
this number required to perfect Many
times during the original rehearsals
the girls LETT the Usage in tears. VOW
ing never to return. But the act was
perfected, put on, and created a veri-
label sensation.
Among these dogs is Jack the
only all-white registered thoroughbred
collie in America. He was originally
''the drunken dog with Barnold's AMI
NAL Actors, and he has played every
important theatre on the globe. The
other dogs were gathered from priv
ate fanciers' kennels and from various
dog acts in vaudeville
When 1.-THE Top O. tn World" was
on Columbus Circle, three years ago
the Collie Ballet was first shown to an
audience which had paid to get in"
Each girl danced her daintiest and
easiest. The collies, with an eager
ness which seemed actually apprecia-
tive of the opportunity given them.
romped through their work in perfect
style. The first-night audience, quick
to recognize sensational and pleas
ing novelty. gave the ballet recall after
recall. That night manager entered
one Of the big Broadway cafes and
said to a group Of theatrical people,
THAT new show that opened at the
Majestic tonight has novelty for
sure. There's a number in It in which
six girls dance with six white dogs. 1t
went so big tonight that it stopped
the show
There are five OF the original dogs
at present with "The Top O. tn
World and a dog which was broken
to the act" during the past sum-
mer.
They are insured in London LIoyds
for the neat sum of $4,000 and two
men are carried to attend to them at
all times.

An Appreciation

We desire to. express just few sin
cere words of appreciation to our friends
and customers for the most prosperous
business yearwe have ever experienced.
The enormous growth of our business,
made possible only by the unceasing
support of the Pensacola public is evil
dent proof of their appreciation of our
efforts to please and render the best
drug store service that is possible.
1t is significant fact that by main
tanning through 1911 the highest pos
sible standard of drug store service, we
were able to increase otlr volume of bus
mess to such an extent as to make the
year a most profitable one for us.
With the growth of our business we
realize in the fullest measure our grow
ing responsibility in supplying medi-
cines to the sick, and we enter into the
new year with the firm resolve to con
tinue our policies of former years, to
render our most conscientious service
and supply goods of the highest quality
and service kept at the highest state of
efficiency.
