time to thoroughly master the COM

keeping and one modern language,
preferably Spanish, as the canal Is
going TO bring us in close touch with
vast territory of Spanish speaking
people. These studies are essentia.
ana useful and might be compulsory,
but music. drawing, needle work and
painting are accomplishments, and
the pupils should not be forced to
learn them. If fifteen or twenty
minutes could be devoted to singing
every morning, just as In Sunday
school it would be a pleasant begin
ming for the day and help to brighten
many an humble home
But to employ a special teacher at
large salary, to teach city children,
seems unjust to children in rural
districts, whose parents pay the same
school tax as those who live in the
city. Another phase Of the question
Is this: All sensible children can
learn the common branches, but many
an intelligent child is utterly incap-
able of learning music, and If their
Creator saw fit to deprive them of
this particular gift, 1t is inhuman
and cruel to rack their brains and
torture their nerves by trying to
force them to learn what God never
intended they should learn. In such
cases the child is not the dullard.
There should be, in every county, as
centrally located as possible, an in
dustrial school, where any boy or girl,
who so desired. might, without com
pensatfon, take a special course in
any trade or profession for which he
shows taste or talent. Why worry
the child and waste precious time in
trying to get a smattering of some
thing that is dropped as soon as the
real life work is begun?

Look at the World
In Bright Colors.

Did it ever occur to you, Old Crouch
that 1t is yourself creates your social
atmosphere, and that life, so far as
you play a part In it, Is only a redec-
ton of your own temperament?
Have you never discovered that this
big, busy world is not worrying about
you a whit, and that in the most i'm
partial manner imaginable 1t allots to
you only the joys that you bring into
it?
Haven't you found out yet that life
is like a looking glass which gives
you back grimaces or smiles. which
ever you face 1t with?
Well, If you haven't found out these
important things It's time you quit
grouching in your own gloom long
enough to see what sunshine a little
smiling will bring.
The French have a saying, "voir
tout Colour de rose" meaning to see
an things in their bright coiors.
We all look upon life through
glasses tinted by our own tempera-
ments 1t depends upon ourselves
whether the tint be the rosy one o.
cheer or darkened by our own hear
Of gloom.
What is the practical difference
Just this:
In the one case life looks bright
and joyous. and in the other cold and
dreary. Through the one tint we see
friendships, loves, hopes, successes;
through the other hates. envy, malices
disappointments, failures.
But the difference is only seeming.

Organization For
Citrus Fruit Growers.

The superior quality of Florida
grown oranges and other citrus fruits
is universally conceded. The Florida
product is unquestionably the best in
the market, yet the Florida growers
do not always obtain the best prices.
On the whole the California growers
are getting the best prices and they
are doing this with tie odds Of at
least two thousand miles Of railroad
transportation against them. The rea-
son for this is the Californians are
better organized than the F1oridians.
The growers Of this state are to be
c graduated that their organization
has reached It's present state Of use
fulness and activity, but we have not
gone far enough. We have only made
beginning.
Because most OF the citrus fruit that
is shipped from this state comes from
the peninsula of Florida is no reason
why this question should not be of
great interest to the people Of Pen
sacola and West Florida generally.
No better place In all the world for
the growing of Satsuma and other
varieties of oranges, EXISTS than in the
counties that lie around Pensacola.
Many groves are coming into bearing
and many more are being planted
This section has the exact blend OF
salt air and sunshine. climate and soil
to cause the fruit to reach the full
fruition OF its perfection.
BY ali means every citizen should
encourage the organization of the cit
rus fruit growers, not only in this
section, but throughout the entire
state. The industry is no small one
And whatever may be said regarding
citrus fruits applies to other fruits as
we'll.

value in stimulating breeders to ex-

varieties of plants and animals, some
Of which have great economic import
ance.
The seedless orange Is a familiar
fruit which has made big money for
enterprising growers. A breeder in
California has produced great va
riety Of new fruits and berries. some
Of which promise to have extensive
use.
Now we have a seedless and core
less apple. Being seedless, the core
less apple is also worthless. The tree
that bears it Is also blossomless, q
circumstance that further discourages
the codling moth from depositing its
eggs. The want OF blossoms exempts

Of frosts.
Surface thought would indicate that
cunning science Is at last conquerins

But nature IS not so easily managed
as it might seem. Her laws OF repro.

OF them is death.

Cut Over Lands
In Florida.

Something like a generation ago two
hardy Norsemen, one Of whom was
Knute Nelson, sometime member OF
congress. went into the cut over pine
lands Of Wisconsin, bought a small
tract OF what was then called the
dig up stumps and to cut up the
waste timber into cord wood. They
soon had q fine farm and as the land
was reasonably fertile and they were
reasonably industrious and diligent
they became rich and otherwise
prominent.
Thousands and hundreds Of thous-
ands Of other new settlers have done
the same thing and many have been
even more successful. The name OF
Knute Nelson is mentioned simply
because everyone knows something
about him.
The same opportunities, and far
better ones, exist now that did thirty
years ago. The lands can still be
obtained at the same nominal figure
and the markets are more accessible
now and the prices of farm products
are higher.
The Gulf states offer 10000, ooG
acres of cut over pine lands, which
real settlers can obtain almost for 9
