GET-TOGETHER MEETING
OF COUNTY ASSOCIATION

The Escambia County Teachers As
ISOLATION will meet today for a grand
get-together rally and a luncheon,
which will be held at ten O'Clock at
School No. L.
The president, Miss Margaret Ray,
issued a call some days ago for all
the teachers of the county to be pres
ent at this meeting, which will con-
vene promptly at ten o'clock, and
every teacher in the county is ex-
pected to be present A fine literary
program has been arranged and a
number of prominent Pensacolians will
be speakers of the occasion.
The city teachers have been work
ing hard during the week for the sue
cess of this meeting. in co operating
with Miss Ray and the county teach
ers, and the committees have done
some fine work, assuring one of the
most enthusiastic meetings that the
association has ever known. Lunch
will be served, salad and ice course
from the San Carlos having been ar
ranged for, there will be a number of
after dinner speeches, and a general
get-together spirit will prevail
The city teachers are especially de-
sirous of making the other teachers
of the county at home on their visits
to Pensacola, and this luncheon fea-
ture of the association meeting is an
expression of that hospitable desire.
Miss Margaret Ray, president of the
association, will preside and from the
literary program which has been ar
ranged there is every assurance of a
delightful morning.

BUSINESS WOMEN
TO THE FRONT,

The business woman in this day
and generation has already achieved a
position of Importance, and in moth
ing is this more clearly shown than in
the attitude of the world towards her
now, as contrasted with it's attitude a
few decades ago. Time was, man ad-
mitted woman to a position beside
him in the business world most
grudgingly, and she was treated most
charity and sometimes with very
scant consideration. But today she
stands side by side with him on too
many important issues to be relegated
to any other position than that of an
equal in the business world. One
sign OF the advancement in this re-
spect is the fact that the salaries of
women are higher than they have
been, though not yet what they should
be. But the probabilities are that. in
few years, the woman who does
mans work will get mans compensa-

A dull drab, muddy complexion, or

by a quite simple. harmless and in

of flower like radiance and purity.
One ounce of common mercolized wax,
sold by druggists generally, will re-
move the most unsightly complexion
in from one to two weeks. By its
remarkable absorptive power, the
withered, faded or discolored layer of
thin film-skin which hides the heal
thier skin underneath, is gradually
flecked off in tiny, almost invisible
particles. This is done so gently
there is no Inconvenience, and no
trace is left on the skin except that

MISS CALDWELL
ARRANGING FOR SPLENDID
FL OPAL EXAIRIT

The manager of the Womans De-
partment. Miss Fannie Caldwell, has
been busy for months in every de-
partment of wonnan,s work in the fair
and from the entries that are being
made and the intense interest shown,
the woman's department of the fair
promises to be even more a matter of
pride than in the past years-and this
Is saying a great deal, for the WON
ans department of the fair has been
from the beginning a wonderful sue
cess.
One thing that promises to be es-
pecially beautiful this year is the
showing Of flowers, and to Miss Cald :
well is due the splendid display that
has been promised. for she has work
ed untiringly to secure exhibits and
to arrange so that the plants which
will be sent out to the grounds viii
be properly cared for. The flowers
will be placed in the woman's build
ing, and this will add much to the
decorative feature Of the fair and
will also enable everyone to get a
good view of the plants and blossoms.
The untiring efforts of Miss Caldwell
have secured a number of floral ex-
hibits and she has been fortunate in
having secured the services or Mrs.
Nellie Jeraulds. of Camp Walton, who
will be on the grounds during the fair
and will see that the plants and flow
ers have the proper attention given
them. Mrs. Jeraulds is well fitted to
assist Miss Caldwell in this work as
she is an expert botanist.
The fair offices present busy scene
now, and the entries in the woman's
department are coming in rapidly
These entries do not close until Octo-
Der 18TH and after the entries are
made there still remains week in
which to finish the work to be entered
for of course in making your entry
it is not necessary to have your work
completed. IT is merely necessary to
let Miss Caldwell know just what you
are going to enter, and have your tags
made out for your exhibits.
Every woman entering the woman's
department should make a special eff
fort to enter her articles at once. And
II you are going to enter flowers,
you may feel assured that your plants
will receive the best of care under the
supervision of Miss Caldwell, and the
attention that will be given them by
Mrs. Jeraulds.

SANTA ROSA ACADEMY.
BY Nellie NJ. Jerauld.


The old idea that education con-
sisted in knowing the contents of GER
tain textbooks and that the one who
could repeat the text and pass exami
nations, parrot-like, were the highly
educated, is happily becoming obsolete
and the fact that practical knowl-
edge combined with that cleaned from
textbooks is the only true education
is accepted by all thinkers today.
In almost every newspaper and
magazine devoted to current events
one reads of the foolishness of the
examining system and the actual in
jury done the child by compelling 1t
to follow the grades Of the public
school and pushing 1t to keep UP, or
hurt the childs pride by putting II
back into lower grades.
All this is done away with In the
Santa Rosa Academy, where thorough,
practical instruction is combined with
the knowledge of the textbooks.
was talking yesterday to one of
the patrons of. the academy and he
said:
Il sent my older children to the best
of schools, both high school and nor
NAL, but I have never been so well
satisfied as 1 am with this academy
for the teachers, Prof. Strong and Mrs.
Strong, are not satisfied merely with
the pupils committing to memory the
lessons but patiently explain and dem
onstrate until they know that the pu-
pills have clear understanding of the
subject" And II is the same praise
from all the patrons Of the school
The school started on the 4th of
this month with 81 resident pupils and
several q do not know how many
from other districts, and a number
from distance have written and en-
gagged board, so from all appearances
the Santa Rosa Academy is a sue
cess.
The aim Of this institution is to
furnish a thorough, practical educa-
ton, for they combine the literary and
Industrial training.
The studies cover all grades from
primary through the twelfth, thus
giving full high school and college
preparatory course.
The school for the year 1912 will be
divided into terms Of six weeks each.
Each term will end with two days

in the institution. All studies and

FEATURES OF THE
NEW COATS,

Coats show little that is new for
the winter season, most of them hav-
ing the characteristics of the late
summer models. They are usually
made up from rough materials, such
as chinchilla and boucle, fabrics hav-
ing diagonal weave being particular
ly favored. Some of the boucle coats
have collars of plush, and the chin
chilla coats are likewise relieved with
collars and cuffs of plush, or chinchilla
of a contrasting shade. Shawl collars
and wide cuffs are in good style, but
the high buttoned effects will prove
both fashionable and practicable for
severe weather.
Deep cut armholes are used almost
entirely on the separate coats, the
square armhole representing the lat
est development of this style.
One of the most attractive coats that
has been shown here this season was
a tan chinchilla that had a collar
and rever made in one piece, of brown
broadcloth, the rever being very wide
and extending over the shoulder to
form a large sailor collar, which was
somewhat deeper at the left. This
oblique edge of the collar emphasized
the one-side effect. The coat fast
ened low at the front. with two large
fancy buttons set close together-a
way of placing buttons that is q fea-
ture of fall novelties.
Added warmth is given to many of
the coats which are made up in the
shoulder cape style. A good looking
one of gray zibeline had pointed
shoulder cape with cutaway effect in
front The cape was lined with a
bright blue chiffon broadcloth, and
the buttons and straps that trimmed
the coat were attractively piped with
the broadcloth also.
