could chronicle its first large gift, Pea
body hall. The completion Of this fine
building was an exceptionally import
ant event also, because it provided for
training a class of men of which Flor
ida was in great need, perhaps in
greater need than of any other class
of graduates, men prepared to build
UP the secondary education Of the
state.
Mention was then made Of language

and improvements that were to be
seen. The president then told Of the
great increase in student attendance.
not from a spirit of boastfulness, but
because Of the desire of the univer-
sity to extend it's usefulness and to
be of great service to the state and
nation. This increase in attendance
was largely due to the best adver-
tisers a school can have-a manly set

Then more earnestly he spoke Of the

rules which it had been found neces-

few written rules at the university.
The thinking of the students was not

it, was productive Of the best results

Although this comparative freedom
was granted, the university was not
Indifferent to the development of stu

ending endeavor of ali connected with
the university to turn out men Of the
highest principles. In this connection
he spoke of the temptations which the
student was sure to meet, and most
forcihly told OF the evil effects of
smoking, drinking, gambling and Ii
centiousness, and besought the stu
dents to overcome temptation. Again
he emphasized that character and
self control are necessary.
DR.. Murphree then made mention of
several college problems. Too much
money was perhaps worse for the stu

SAID TO HAVE BEEN LAST

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Washington, Sept. 2s.--In spite OF
the fact that a general alarm has been
sent through the papers Of the coun-
try for w. P. Douglas, a prominent
resident Of Jacksonville, who Is re-
ported to have disappeared in this
city on September IL, the police here
have not been requested by the Jack
sonville authorities or the missing
mans relatives to take any action.
Dispatches state that Douglas. who
is secretary of the Florida Life In
surance Company, was last heard of in
Washington. He had intended going
from here to Glade Springs, Va. but
inquiry there is said to have developed
no trace of his wherea bouts.
Acting on the information contained
in the press dispatches. the police
made inquiry at all hotels and other
retreats in this city, without finding
any trace of the missing man. The
company of which Douglas Is secTe-
tary is not represented here and local
insurance men do not know the miss
ing man personally.
1t was suggested that Douglas might
have gone to Atlantic City to spend
the convention of life insurance rep
resentatives held there last week.

" upon his personal worth and en-
deavor.
Then he denounced the moral pois-
on hidden in the words quoted from
President Hyde's great book, words
that give the point of view Of some
students-"C is the gentlenan's
grade" This showed new form OF
wasting time and was the mark of
a coward.
To stand we'll here IT is necessary to
lay aside all exorbitant conceit, and
to appreciate the main business OF the
place. It was necessary to cultivate
regular habits, to engage in some re-
creation, to enjoy proper companion
ship, to study, to avoid mental dissi-
patton and thus to have the finest So
cial experience and develop a capac-
ity for leadership.
Various Student Activities.
DR.. Murphree then spoke Of the
proper sphere OF the various student
activities and the good that could be
derived from them, after which ne
raised the question: Who nave the
right to be here?" A right to be at
the university hes in your capacity
for exercising college freedom in
a sane manner. If you cannot say
mo" you should have been kept in
the nursery and looked after at home.
Those had a right here, and would
enjoy the greatest pleasures and would
make the greatest development, who
exercising self-control, would take ad-
vantages of the possibilities and catch
the spirit of the university.
The address was followed by two
vocal solos by Mr.. J O. Miller, Mo-
Their O. Mine" and 81 Hear You Calling
Me-" The president introduced the
clergy of the city, all of whom well
coined the students of the city and
wittily but earnestly impressed some
lesson of Christianity.
Mr.. Miller then rendered a delight
full selection on the violin. Announce
rnents were then made and the add
tions to the faculty were introduced.

Something About
the High School.

with its excellent record in the past
and the large enrolment anticipated
today. the usefulness Of the Pensacola
high school to the city should be-
come greater than ever this year.
A forward movement viii be real
lied II the city will but open its eyes
to the tremendous asset this tnstitu-
ton can become. and win bring to it's
support every bit of assistance needed.
The great need Is more pupils. The
business course has made the work
more practical. The invitation from
the teachers TO parents for parent
teacher organization ought to help to
increase the enrolment, 1T the young
people more thoroughly for living, and
finally increase the effectiveness Of
the work by the addition of depart
ments OF home economics and manual
training. A healthful athletic spirit
should be fostered and other proper
student activities should be encour-
aged. such as music and literary So
cieties and the publication of a month
ly or quarterly magazine.
Twice as many students as at pres
ent should be enrolled and can be
within the next two years if Pensacola
people will boost for It.
The high school belongs to the
whole city. Why should not the city
take it over in the sense of making
it of the greatest possible value in
the cityis life?

St. Louis and New York are now I'M
dulging in very pointed and, apparent

For example the New York Herald
says:

sissippt: its summer climate, of which
its citizens speak in whispers; Mrs.

the first pay-as-you- enter cars were
run on the Olive street line There is
also a good barber shop in the old
Planters hotel and plenty OF railroad
trains running out of the union sta
ton.
This is the best press notice ST
Louis has had in SOME time. It is al
most too much, for the Missouri me-
