On January 90, 1913, surrounded by

FLORIDA HAS PLANS
FOR SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Conference for Education in the
South Will Be Greater This
Year Than Last.

Observation-Disclosures will be repre-
scented with a large exhibit of her
schools at the conference for educa-
ton in the South, which is to be held
in Richmond, Va.
Capt. George NJ. Lynch, state super
visor of rural schools, has charge of
the Florida plans for an exhibit
He has asked the school authorities of
the state to cooperate in the collec-
ton of pictures and other material
The secretary of the local board of
trade has been asked by Captain
Lynch to write the secretaries of the
different boards in the state to send
in articles for the state exhibit. Mr..
Richardson sent out letters at once.
An effort is to be made to make
Floridas exhibit one of the very best
in the convention.
The purpose of the exhibit is given
as:
|. Conditions, industrial, education
al and sociological.
2. Activities, showing what is being
done to better conditions, to improve
farming, to develop schools, etc.
g. Results and products Of school
work, manual training, domestic sci
ence, agricultural and so on, and pos
sibly in a small way certain mill prod
ucts.
An entire room has been secured
for the Florida exhibition. In this
room an effort is to be made to show
to the world what is being done and
what it is possible to do in Florida
in the way of improving the public
schools and farming conditions.
The object of the conference is to
improve the public schools and the
farming conditions in Dixie. 1t is be
lieved these exhibits will do much to
forward the work as the delegates
and visitors will be able to see what
is being done and how it is being
managed.
Two years ago the conference was
held in this city and was attended by
several thousand people. Since that
time the conference has grown in
size and usefulness, and it is believ-
ed that Richmond will get more peo-
pie than did Jacksonville two years
ago.
School officials are being urged to
cooperate with Captain Lynch in ev-
cry way possible in order that this
state may make a good showing at
the meeting. Many of these officials
will attend the convention in order
to get new ideas for the work which
is being done here.

Our school teacher, Miss Cummings,
came home with the scholars Thursday
night, then went up into the pasture and
found good place for picnic and reci-
tstions at the close Of the ten weeks
term of school the following Friday. But
the irony of fate or something else
caused the day to be lowery, and so they
had their exercises in the schoolhouse
aud made the best of it.
Saturday the most of the family at
tended the ctildren's day celebration at
Brysnt's Pond, and the following even
ing some of them went to the closing
school entertainment at the City; and by
that time all seemed satisfied with their
weeks end festivals.

One writer says il your lamp burners
get foul and smoke, boil them out in
hot water after adding a little soda
From which we naturally infer that boil
ing them in cold or tepid water would
not produce the desired effect, even il a
little more soda was added.
