There are only two towns on the ST.
Johns river between Sanford and Saw
grass Lake, the latter being twelve
miles south of Lake Washington. One
of these towns is Geneva, the other
is Fort Christmas settlement, which
now comprises a few residences, a
postoffice, a store or two, and the US
ual blacksmith shop During the war
with the Seminole Indians, away back
in 1915, Fort Christmas was a place
of no mean pretensions, as there was
quartered there at one time as many
as eight thousand soldiers. For the
remainder of the trip one has for COM
pany only the denizens of the forest

What a great vision of Flaglers to

WOMEN TO HOLD OFFICE

Our prediction is that in less than
ten years there will be women can
didates for office in many of the coun-
ties of Florida and nobody will be
shocked or grieved because of it; and
if the woman suffrage movement con-
tinues to grow, as at present, it is very
probable that these women candidates
will be appealing to the women vot-
ers of Florida for their support. 1t
may be awful for the conservative old
timer to contemplate such a prospect,
but we are running up against so
many awful things in this awful age
that even woman suffrage in Florida
few years hence need surprise no
one. Live Oak Democrat

general public, here is what we find
in recent issue of the Los Angeles
Times:
Tampa, Fla, had temperature of
forty-six above tonight, a gain of six
degrees since this morning. This
means much suffering, for the resi-
dents have no blankets, their houses
are mere shells set up on posts, and
there are no means of producing artifi-

stoves"

A THEATER FOR CHILDREN

ITO make our thousands OF immi.
grant children better citizens: TO ed
ucate them; to develop their sympa-
thies and their characters: 10 give
them the best possible sort OF a good
time and to counterfeit the evil and
sordid influences of tenement and fac
tory; to do all this-the theater, the
theater for children"
This is the summing up by Miss Al
ice Minnie Herts of the arguments for
1.-THE permanent establishment OF a chill
dren's theater in New York. This is
the ammunition with which she is set
ting out upon campaign for a sub
sidy to place the theater on a firm ba-
sis and make it's influence nationwide
"The dramatic instinct is the
strongest instinct in the life of a
child" Miss Herts declared. why
don't we take advantage of il?
why don't we take hold of it sen
sibly and use it in the development of
the child?
'The drama for children is the only
natural education method" Miss
Herts went on. The production OF
good plays-acting in them and seeing
them-sets higher standards of citi-
zenship. 1t broadens child sympa-
thies. 1t cultivates child intelligence.
1t initiates against wrong influences
in the child's ordinary life To put il
all in a very few words, the drama de
velops character for the uses of life.
'On the other hand, she added, en-
phatically, you can't benefit children
much by giving them instructive en-
tertainment of the sort they simply
ought to like You must give them
what they really want.
"You have no right to expect
child to enjoy or take hold Of far re-
moved high brow literature and
drama. He doesn't get any benefit
out of it because he doesn't like IL.
He doesn't understand it. It Is all
over his head, and he is simply bored.
But real child's theater that does
entertain, that does appeal to the dra-
matte instinct-that is worth while
1t teaches the child by giving him
thoroughly good time in a thorough
ly fine and helpful way. He doesn't
know he is being taught; he has no
idea that anyone is trying to help him.
He is blissfully ignorant OF any
scheme of uplift. What he knows is
that he is enjoying himself. What is
happening is thta he is being educat-
ed"
Miss Herts has taught children for
years, both in the schools and in so
cial settlements. She has studied
children all her life. She has worked
with children and talked with children
and has seized their point of view.
Long before the idea TO the children's
theater had taken root and worked It.

cation Miss Herts had found herself
taking advantage of the child's dra-

child.
