Several request have come to
us during the past week asking
for further information on the
subject of the Commercial value
of an Education. To bring the
case nearer to home and apply
the general facts given in the last
issue of the Record is our effort.
The average boy of Is or 16 who
stops school in this city before
completing his grade education,
can in 2 cases out of be found
loafing the streets most of the
time and the balance devoted to
some occupation that at the most
will not give him an income of
over $50 month; in most cases
below that amount. The second
type is composed Of a few who
have completed the Grammar
School and as such are beyond the
reach of Compulsory Education
Law, and do not care to work
enough to be retained in High
School. They can usually be
found attempting to hold jobs
that require no especial ability,
nor have they a visible future
before them. We do not believe
that there is boy in Winslow of
this type whose earnings are over
$55 per month, nor has he any
prospects Of getting more. The
class composing those who have
completed Business School, Com
mercial School or High School is
very large in WinsloW. Many
young men have been students
at College for a time. They COM
prise a class Of steadfast earnest
young men, the ones that have
every prospect Of advancing in
both a business and social way,
also, and most important their
earning capacity ranges upward
from rs to $100, and even $3.50 a
month. In every case of large
employers of boys in this city
you will find that collectively they
want the earnest boy in their en-
ploy. The boy who has the
groundwork Of application to
whatever duty may be assigned
to him. The fundamental idea of
the American Educational Sys-
tenn is to fit the child to live a
better and more useful life. No
enc can show any relationship
existing between laziness, idle
ess and petty vice and prepara-
ton to occupy and hold a useful
and profitable position in this city.
We are sorry to be forced to
record the losing of Marion Til
ton from our varions High School
activities. Miss iltonhas beenone
OF the best and most enthusiastic
Students for the past two years.
AS Junior Glass Editor, Miss Til
ton has done extensive writing
for both the Annual and Record.
Our best wishes go with Marion
for a happy and Successful school
life in her new home. Our loss
is San Bernardino High School
gain.

We often wonder il there is
any greater possibility Of a child
catching a contagious disease at
school, than there is in roaming
the streets promiscuously. Many
who have removed their children
from school pending the recent
scare, allow their children to roam
the downtown streets, unrestrlct-
ed. Consistency thou art a jewel,
sometimes.
1t is with pleasure that we ac-
knowledge our deep indebtedness
to DR.. Bartlett of State Depart
menl of Horticulture and Ento-
mology for his interesting illus
trated lecture, last Thursday
night, also to Mrs. Lawrence for
her interesting talks on Domestic
Science. We are glad to well
come these state wide leaders in
their line at any time. The ex-
tension work is performed in
connection with the University
Demonstration Train.
Public Health Day was note
worthy to the students of the
High School in that it introduced
to us for the first time, DR..
Yount, Secretary Of the Arizona
Medical Association. At II p. m. ;
the Doctor addressed 90 students
and teachers at the High School
on the subject of Bacteria. His
lecture was illustrated with num-
erous charts and diagrams that
made his subject of Germs"
plain to all. DR.. Meserve, State
Chemist, entertained an audience
of Parents at 8 p. M, on the sub
ject OF Food Adulteration.
Marion and Cecil Tilton will
leave for their new home in San
Bernardino next Monday morn
ing. Our dest wishes go with
them, and may they make as
many friends as they leave here.
A lone cass of mumps is the
extent of the contagious disease
in the schools at the present time.
Many of us were much put out
because there was no vacation on
the Friday after Thanksgiving.
However, when we remembered
Teachers Institute week we did
not feel so badly about it.
The Williams High School
teams that played here last
Thursday were composed Of a
splendid crowd Of ladies and
gentlemen. It is our sincere hope
that the athletic contests between
the two schools may continue for
a long time. Prof. Youngblood,
their Coach, is very evidently a
good one as was evidenced by
their team work.
A large number of ticket
agents swept over the streets
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The ticket sales for the Thanks
giving game were comparatively
large.
Misses Ruth, Ora and Marion
Fleenor are recovering rapidly

Total enrolment this week is

The students who live in the
country had a hard time getting
to school last week, as the roads
were almost impossible for the

John Drumm has a splendid
piece of cabinet worh in Wood

The cheer leaders are conspicu-
GUS for their absence at the
games.
The small pox scare seems tC
be more or less of a matter OF
talk. If we had a tenth as many
cases as the town takers say,
everyone would want to move.
Winslow is live town.
Many from H. S., attended the
big Thanksgiving Ball. A splen-
did time was reported by all.
Boost for Winslow.
About 80 H. S., girls enjoyed
a series lectures by Mrs. Law
renee of the Faculty of the Uni
versity of Arizona a week ago
Wednesday afternoon at the
Demonstration cars.
In the evening DR.. Bartlett
gave an illustrated lecture on the
chronological pests of the State
of Arizona, at the Fl. S., build
ing. His discussion was present
ed and illustrated in such an ex-
cellent manner that the attention
of the audience was not withheld
for an instant. Following DR..
Bartlett, an interesting illustrat-
ed talk on labor saving devices
was given by Mrs. Lawrence.
Methods of substituting kitchen
equipment for the expensive de-
signs on sale were brought out.
Everyone appeared to be greatly
interested while being told how
to build a freless cooker; and as
a result we have reason to eXDect
many improvements in kitchen
routine in Winslow.
Irene McCauley of Albuquerque
was a visitor in the Public
Schools last Thursday. This is
vacation week for all of the
schools in New Mexico, as the
State-Teachers Institute is being
held at Albuquerque.
Miss Ora Brake was out of
school, i'll, last Wednesday. Miss
Macmillan substituted for Miss
Brake.
Wednesday noon witnessed the
usual long line of children who
were eager to help those less
fortunate to have a happy
Thanksgiving. A considerable
quantity of groceries were gath
cred together and quite a few
clothes. There are many who
have been unfortunate during the
past year, in the City, and it is
luite fitting that the spirit OF
Charity and unostentatious giving
should be fostered and cultivated
in the Public Schools.
The attendance was not per-
feet the past week, as several
left town for the holiday, some
were sick and others more or less
scared.
A few of the High School girls
sold over 200 tickets to their game
last Thursday. They are in pos
session of the secret formula fol
live H. S., and live city. Those
are helped, who help themselves.

Strength does not make for fair

cate quality.
Flagstaff S. N. S. Girls refuse
us a return game. Score at Flag

1t takes both victory and de-
feat to make good winners.
AS Shakespeare says, 1T takes
a live fish to swim upstream, for
any lobster can float down.
Irregular attendance when a
pupil can be in school is certain
to produce one result. Failure is
as inevitable as day and night;
failure not only in school, but as
a man. No employer will toleaate
boy who is not punctual, and
who lays off on the slightest pro-
vocation. Would you?
If the Grammar school boys do
not develop football team in the
next two years it certainly will
not be because of lack of practice.
Our aim this year is for an
average attendance of 600. If
you will help us to attain that
end, we can promise decided
reduction in the existing tax rate.
Call up the H. S., office for par
ticulars. or better yet, visit the
Schools.
Patrons and Citizens of Wins
low are cordially invited to visit
the schools at any time. We
would like to have the citizens of
this city know all about the work
being done in the buildings. In
telligent criticism is courted but
we do prefer not to be criticized
until the schools have been in
spected. If you will only visit
the schools any suggestions are
invited.
Some H. S., sections are kept
very busy lodging tests. How
ever, the most indefatigable of
dodgers will get caught once in a
while.
Preparation for the second
Edition Of the Annual are under
way.
Do you realize that the three
school buildings have an over
capacity enrolment today? If
the attendance increases over
100 next year as it has during
the past two years, what are we
going to do with the extras?
Cross-walks
We do not notice any improve
ment in the alleys or streets of
our city. It would seem to the
average observer that it is high
time that the three missing cross
walks to the HIS, and one to N.
6. s., were put in place. It was
voted last year by the Common
Council that this be done, still IS
to 100 people have waded mud
four times a day for the past
month to and from H. S. If sew
eral teams and men can spend
their time digging a rock hill
down and scattering it around
promiscuously, the city can af-
ford walks to the schools. We
need efficient street management,
and that at once. We have had
an ocean of promises; now we
would like at least rivulet of
deeds.

FLORIDATONN,
BEAUTIFUL AND
HISTORIC SPOT
EARLIEST INHABITED PORTION
Or SANTA ROSA COUNTY, AND
1 ONE or IT'S MOST PICTURESQUE
I TOWNS.

On the extreme north shore Of Es-
Gambia bay lies F1oridatown, from
a II accounts. the earliest inhabited spot
in Santa Rosa county.
From Well-authenticated sources, it
is learned that this place was used
by the Spaniards ostensibly as rem
devious for fishing purposes: but it
is . matter OF doubt whether they
confined their operations to catching
fish in the bay or varied their work
by catching suckers coming down
the river. Whatever may have been
the avocation of this aggregation OF
Spaniards, 1t Is certain they chose a
most delightful retreat IN which to So
Journ.
Flor17atown lies on q curve of the
shore, forming small cove, which
prevents any high inroad of the tide,
and permits the collection Of logs into

with little trouble.
The settlement is situated on high,
dry ground, in the midst of gigantic
live oaks, whose size indicates that
they were veteran monarchs Of the
forest when. century ago, the Span
iards sat beneath their outrageous
boughs, mending their nets. No stag
nant ponds or malarial marshes from
which arise foul exhaIations, exist
here: but the health giving air is re-
dolen with the resinous odor Of the
pines and the germless breath Of the
sea breeze. Back from the town stretch

away to the north In a level sweep the
young pines which are springing up
to take the place Of the virgin forest.
A Sylvan Seaside Resort.
The residences are prettiiy located
along the beach, all adorned with
groves Of majestic liveoaks Nothing
seems wanting to make this place an
ideal retreat for those looking for syi-
van seaside resorts. The town is laid
off into lots, many of which have been
already sold, and 1t is safe to predict
that before purposes, long all will be
disposed of.
For farming purposes, the lay of
the land around Floridatown, is adj
mirable, and with proper fertilization,
the soil will produce in abundance,
all kinds of vegetables incident to this
cline, together with melons, strawber-
ries, and sugar cane.
A commodious hotel is located here
near the beach, which is prepared to
entertain guests at quite moderate
charges.
A narrow gauge railroad connects
Floridatown with Pace, the mill town.

mile and half distant. This branch
Is used by the Pace Mill Company to
convey lumber to the bay that is to
be carried away in RATS.
AS before stated, there are no MAS
matte influences ana no maiariaI en-
vironment; consequently, F1oridatown
is, as the doctors would say, dis
tressingly healthy.
In addition. the water here, in taste
and purity Is especially good, being
freestone and free from deleterious
constituents.
Is Healthy Located.
The beach at F'loridatown must be
seen to be appreciated in all its beauty.
The water increases in depth so
gra dually from the short that the
beach is an ideal spot for bathers. No
sharks or a1ligators infest these
waters, so bathers can sport in the
waves without fear of these marine
cannibals.
The launch Pilgrim" makes semi
weekly trips from Floridatown TO Pen
sacola This place is also easy of ac-
cess from Mulat being only three miles
distance can easily be secured at Mu-
lat.
AS a last word. it is sufficient to
state that F1oridatown is destined to
be a place of importance in the not
distant future.
People from all sections seeking
homes in genial chimes, with the pre-
requisites of health ana good water,
coupled with the advantages of sea-
bathing and fishing right at their doors,
will come here:

From regions where meadows are

that he heard Of it being next day
when he was arrested by the sheriff.
In reply to this the State offered wit

and chat though he appeared to be
drinking, yet he was not under the
influence of liquor apparently. At
each of these intervals he was seen
with his wagon and provisions MAX

On ross examination Rushing ad-
mitted to the solicitor that he had on
many other occasions beaten his
wife, and in response to the ques-
ton, what did you beat her WITH"
he said, with first one thing and
then another; sometimes fist, some
times sticks and sometimes stove

CONIT2'

Pittsburgh, March 6.-Friends Of
Mrs. Edward Brady, Of Homestead,
danced for two hours before discov-
ering that their hostess, lying on a
couch and supposedly watching the
others, was dead. After dancing the
tango" Mrs. Brady complained OF
fatigue and threw herself on a couch
in the parlor. Apparently she fell
asleep despite the merrymaking. Two
hours later her husband, drawing
aside a curtain that had Swallowed
her face, noted a death"like pallor
and called a physician, who said the
woman evidently died from heart
failure Immediately after lying down.
