POLK COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOL
Students Enthusiastic
Big Attendance; Good
Work.

The Polk County High School
began the routine of regular
work last Monday and all the
students fell into their places
with machine.like precision
Students and teachers are en-
thusiastic over their work and
prospects are bright tor a big
year.
The attendance of students is
most gratifying. In spite'of the
fact that the Polk County High
School is furnishing twenty-four
of the county teachers, who will.
thus not be able to return till
their schools close, the high
school study hall was crowded
to four above it's seating capacity
the first day. The grade rooms
with only one eXceptiou Hre
heavily crowded.
The spirit among the students
is most wholesome, They are
talking, in addition to their reg
ular work, literary societies,
tennis, basket ball, and there is
even rumor of u football team.
We have a bunch of students
who will not be content with
ordinary things and they expect
to make some fine records this
year in the class rooms and IN
sports.
While the rooms are pretty
full now, more space has to be-
furnished. At least Twenty-Five
more in the high school have
notified the management claat'
they will be present within u
short time. II IS evident that
times will y lively this year
and tEas great illipgs faiay
expected.

| ignored.
Politics is the medium through
which the majority of people
seek fame. The man who has
enough money to buy the lower
class and enough tact to fool the
honest people is the one who
generally gets the Office. In
politics it is not what you are,
but what you can make the
people think you are, that
counts.
Policy plays a great part in
the affairs of the world. People
are yonr friends as long as you
have money. and as long as they
know that they will be repaid
for the favors they do for you.
But if you lose. your money, you
are liable to lose most of your
friends also.
These are the conditions as a
rule. Of course there are ex-
ceptiOns, as there are TO every
rule. No matter how rich you
are, or how rich your parents
are, you were born on a Level
with all the rest of us.
I believe that thorough
practice of the golden rule, "Do
as you would wish to be done
by" would affect cure for
every wrong that mars the vel
fare of society, business and
even religion.
The poet touched the harp
strings of truth when he gave to
the world his song entitled
"You are only re membered by
what you Have Done No, it
is not who you are, but what
you have done. The rich man
IN his mansion revels amid com
fort and dreams Of his silver and
gold; the poor man dwells in his
cab in and labors for his mere
maintenance; out the same God
watches over them, the same
earth receives their bodies after
death. Robert Burns deserves
the highest honors for compos-
ing that masterpiece OF truth,
IA Mans a Man, for a. That"

A Mans a Man, For All
That.

Ever since the world was
shaped and the wheeling orbs
began to course the crystal
paths OF space, the desire for
superiority has caused chaos and
trouble. 1t began when the
devil endeavored to become su'
perior to his maker, and was
hurled from the portals OF heav-
en- to the flames that burn in
hell; and, tempted by him, the
masses of humanity have fought
for superiority every since.
Some desire only money, and
others crave fame. They have
become fanatics on the subject
OF making their marx in the
world" and nadly Glamour after
any means of obtaining honor,
however dishonest.
Money is merely a substance
found in the earth, moulded into
discs for the purpose of being
exchanged for the necessities of
lite. But these little discs called
dollars have peculiar attrac-
ti0n for the majority of people,
and bring about a mysterious
change in the lives of those who
possess more of them than some
other people do. Generally they
hold their faces in the direction
AZ the skies, never noticing peo-
bic of more limited means. Their
children note the the actions of
thskr - infer there.

Report of Town Cemetery
improvements

While our series of Ocoee
Academy articles are temporar-
lily interrupted to bring scraps
and corrections up to the present
writing, we will give this issue
a report long delayed of the inn
provenents made on the Town
Cemetery since the description
of this hallowed "God's Acre"
was published about eighteen
months ago.
Improvements that will last
for a generation have been made.
The fence of ornamental galvan-
lied metal woven artistically is
supported by large cedar posts
and has three iron gates two OF
them exactly where the entranc-
es have been for over forty years
probably for all the seventy odd
years of the cemetery's exist
ence. A shed for shelter has
been built near where the old
cemetery joins the newer part.
The grove southward affords
dense shades as ever, but in
topping and trimming the four
oaks along the east side, too
much was cut off and but one
remains green and growing.
Z The entire cemetery was we'll
cleaned off last year, and has
been cut over this summer again
which was comparatively a
light job.

knowledge all contributions, |
