sought so earnestly to awaken a truer
understanding Of the child mind
One often hears adverse comment
of the methods used in school work
and perhaps often justly so. For any
thing that is in a state of transition
can but be faulty In many ways.
But IL those who are prone to COM
ment would visit the schools which
they criticize perhaps they would
come away to praise.
Here in Pensacola the teachers have
made wonderful progress in pedagogy.
especially In the work for the younger
children, and one may readily see why
the little ores seem so happy and
contented in the school room.
A teacher in one of the primary
grades was telling me about her work
the other day. and 1t was SO interest
ing that ! wanted to go to school to
her right away.
She was telling nae how she teaches
these little tots something Of the world
they live in
She makes a little world of her
own, and the midgets learn without
ever knowing that they are studying
about the world they live in. They
only know that they are playing a de-
lightful game sort of nake-be
lieve Of living In another country.
Each month";" she said, Il teach
them about some country. Sometimes
it Is Japan. Again 1t Is the far North
land. Maybe IL ID their own United
States But always we make it a sort
of play together.
FOR instance, when we studied ia

thing in the world, q sort of play

I'VE use sand table, and I think
perhaps playing at being Japanese was
one of the happiest times we had in
our school work.
you know they are little bits Of
things, and IL would be unbearabie for
them to sit all day, studying out Of
books and trying to learn things that
can have no meaning to their baby
minds.
But when we built mountains in

dens, with real japanese ladies and
gentlemen to take tea with us, and

BY Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thempson Is 1t nice to
wear a mans jewelry or accept a ring
or bracelet when you are not engaged
to him? SADIE.
1t is not at all in good taste, my
dear, and decidedly wrong to accept
any jewelry or anything valuable from
man to whom you are not engaged.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: dD I am Is
and know q girl a few years younger
and love her dearly. She doesn't
seem to think much of me- but tells
me she loves me. How can I find out
the truth? CD What will take the
black out of tan shoes, made by wa
ter? ANXIOUS HARRY.
~ Don't try. She probably won't
suit you at all when you are a couple
of years older. f2l Rub lemon peel
over the shoe, then polish with inside
OF a, banana skin.
Dear Mrs Thompson. I am rs and

about being an old maid. do not

although / do not care much for him
and he is several years older than !.
but I have had no admirers of late.
Please advise me.
IMPATIENT ANN.
Don't be foolish, Ann. because you
are 2s and because your friends tease
you. There are no old maids any
more.
Tell the man you proposed to that
you were only joking, IL you don't care
for him, and release the poor fellow
from false hopes he may have. Tell
your friends that some Of the finest
women in the world, who have done
the most good. like Jane Adams of
Hull House, Chicago, never married,
and that you're not ashamed to stand
in their class.
BE sweet, sensible and sympathetic,
and some day you will attract a man
that you will love enough TO marry.

AND The LITTLE GIRL.
little girl on North Hill had an
experience the other day that she is
not apt soon to forget, and that has,
perhaps. never before been paralelled
in Pensacola.
She is very fond of the Brer Rabbit
stories, and Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox
and Brer Coon are great friends of
hers, and she never tires OF hearing
about them.
The other day she took a nap as
usual about four o'clock in the after
noon and she dreamed that she was
in the Big Woods playing with all
the beloved "creturs" of the Uncle
Remus stories. Brer Coon. with his
funny, stupid ways, had always ap-
pealed to her. and she never tired of
reading of his antics; so in this dream
she was taking a walk through the
woods arm in arm with funny, fuzzy
little old Brer Coon. She was just
asking him some questions she had
long been wanting to ask him about
the other "creturs" in the Big Woods,
when something walked her before she
could quite get his answer.
She was lying in her own nice little
soft bed; but beside her-she sat mp
and rubbed her eyes to make sure =

ed ''ereturs" in the Uncle Remus stories
that the little girl felt sure that It
must have stepped right out of the
book her moths- had been reading to
her that morning.
Brer Coon was friendly, too, for he
snuggled right up to the little girl
and she put her chubby arms about
him, and when her mother came in
later she was fast asleep, with her
curly head resting on his fuzzy coat.
Later developments proved that he
was a very friendly Brer Coon, in
deed, and belonged to g. nice. big

girl said after she made his acquaint

H
Clarence barrow, the Chicago
attorney who was tried at Los
Angeles, CAL, on the charge of
having bribed jurors in the
James B. Mcnamara case last
fall, was acquitted by the jury
within thirty-four minutes after
they retired. barrow, who is
regarded as one of the foremost
champions of organized labor,
was employed to defend the Me:
Namara brothers and a large
sum of money was placed at his
disposal to guarantee them a
fair trial. The state believed the
Mcnamara jury was bribed, al
though the brothers entered a
plea of guilty in the midst of the
trial, and barrow was indicted.
On the trial he pleaded his own
cause and was acquitted. He is
held to answer an indictment in
another cause on a similar charge.

With the advent of four poll

With the advent of four politi-
cal parties in the State, the
democrats may lose control of
the election machinery if the
statutes are literally followed by
the State Board of Election COM
missioners, The election law
provides that the various parties
shall have representation on
county boards of election COM
missioners. Heretofore these
boards have consisted in most
counties of democrats alone,
there not being a republican to
hold the place on the board.
Now, the Socialists are demanC
ing representation and later tbs
Moose party may be heard
from with a like request. The
commissioners for the state how.
ever, will hardly turn over t.
the enemy the election machinery
of a state that is practically
unanimously democratic.

The exposures of the police
department of the City of New
York reveal a story of graft un-
equaled in the history of munich
pal government. The system of
corruption was perfected by the
operators and every detail looked
after as in the ordinary course
of business. The magnitude of
the sums that went into their
hands for protection alone would
indicate that the business done
by the crooks off Wall street
would almost equal that done by
the crowd who manipulates the
finances of the country on Wall
street in their own behalf.

Permit me to say to the people
of the Fifth district through
your columns that words fail me
when | think of trying to express
by them the real, genuine heart
felt gratitude toward the people
for the kind and loyal treatment
which | am receiving at their
hands. Permit me to say in
their behalf that they are doing
some real, sure enough road
working. Some of our road
hands have already worked more
than their ten days. Some of
our citizens who are over age
have taken their teams and gone
out and worked with the boys.
Indeed it is a great pleasure to
serve such loyal citizens.
Let's all pull together and
build up our country by making
better roads, good and comfort
able school houses and better
churches. May the Advise Gre

when we country people may
have these needed improve
ments. May Gods richest bless

FUNDS ron THE CAMPAIGN.

FUNDS FOH TIE
The National Democratic cam
paign committee is making ur-
gent appeals to democrats all
over the country for contribu-
lions with which to meet the
legitimate expenses OF the
national campaign.
Democrats have never been
supplied with money necessary to
meet actual expenses of a presi-
dental campaign, and for this
reason the platform and issues Of
the former campaigns have sell
dom been presented as they
really were to the voters. The
republicans never lack for money
and attractive and misleading
literature with fluent speakers
60 to every doubtful precinct OF
the country. In this way they
have been able to win on false
and misleading issues.
The democrats have named one
of the strongest men intellec-
tually of the nation and wrote
for him a platform that no candl-
date could find fault with, thus
equipped the party goes before
the country and asks the support
of every honest and patriotic
voter. That the real issues OF
the campaign may be presented
it will be necessary for the Nat
ional committee to be well sup
piled with money. 1t costs vast
sums to pay postage, printing,
expenses of speakers and in the
great cities public halls are fire
quently needed to accommodate
the crowds, all of these cost
money. The democrats have
decided to accept no contribu-
tons from the large corporations
and only small contributions
from individuals. To raise the
money many contributions of
small sums will be necessary to
swell the campaign fund to the
proper proportions. It is not a
fight for somebody in New York,
Massachusetts,, Ohio or far away
California, but it is a fight OF
good government against bad
government in which every man
is interested. Being in a demo-
cratic state does not exempt us
from our share of responsibility
IN contributing TO Drlng ABOUT
the desired result. We should be
as liberal as our means will ad-
nit and every democrat should
deem it a privilege to offer some
contribution for the general
good. Our columns are open to
the publication of all contribu
tons, no matter how large or
small and we hope that the good
democrats of Lee county will
come forward with liberal sub.
scriptions to the Wilson-M Marshall
fund. Who will lead off with a
liberal contribution?
