FLORIDA MADE GOOD
SHOWING IN EDUCATION
Capt. George M. Lynch Returns From
South Carolina conference.-the
Is Progressing.

Jacksonville. Capt. George M
Lynch, state supervisor of rural
schools, passed through the city en-
route home to his home in Gaines
vile, from Columbia, S. c., where he
has been for the past week IN attend.
ancs upon conferences with represen.
tatives Of six Southern states.
Problems covering organization of
school systems, supervision of country
schools, consolidation and courses of
study were discussed.
Florida according to Captain Lynch
was the only state in the South whose
constitution handicapped the legisla-
ture in providing adequate legislation
in the solution Of these problems.
In the face of this handicap, Cap
tain Lynch states that through the
initiation and energy Of the school
officials the state has been able to
show splendid progress.
FLORIDA" said he, lis independent
absolutely upon local taxation, while
other states may secure subsidies
from their legislatures. Our county SUI
perintendents are required to pay
their travelling expenses, office ex-
penses, ETC., out of their OWN salaries
and excepting nine counties these Of
flcials are compelled to lock after the
clerical work Of their offices, attend
to all correspondence, Investigate and
settle all school differences, visit all
schools and perform tasks that are
distributed among three to five men.
Notwithstanding all this, 1 find that
the majority Of our superintendent
visit the schools a greater number of
times than in the states where assist
ants are provided.
Il also found that the average at
tendance in our rural schools was
above the average in the majority of
the states and the general scholarship
of our teachers equal the best.
"The fact that forty-six out of for
ty-eight counties in Florida have as
sessed maximum millage caused the
warmest words of commentator and
it was conceded that it was perhaps
the highest record.
"The corn club movement in Flor
ida has created great interest and
surprise was expressed when l an
nounced that the corn club organiza-
ton of Alachua county was the larg-
est in the United States. The Alachua
organization has enrolled more than
900 active members"
Captain Lynch seemed much en-
couraged regarding the outlook for
the cause Of education in Florida, and
was of the opinion that the recent
conference in Columbia would be of
great value to the cause, not only in
this state, but in each of the six
states, which were represented at the
gathering.
There is probably no one in the
entire state who devotes more time
and energy to educational work than
Captain Lynch.
