WELL KNOWN CITIZEN DIES
SUDDENLY AT HOME IN THIS
CITY WEDNESDAY, MORNING
HAD BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
WITH PLEASURE TO PROSPECT
OF SPENDING WINTER SEASON
AT HIS HOME.

With his son in a hospital suffering
with an aggravated attack of tonsil-
ing from an attack of illness, Capt.
w. Leon Vann, for 20 years res
ident of Daytona and one of the best
known men in this city, as well as
all along the East Coast inland
waterway, died suddenly at '7:30 o.
clock yesterday morning at his home
on West Magnolia avenue.
death, coming early in the morning.
caused a wave of sadness to spread
over the city and depressed to a
large extent the holiday spirit of the
New Years occasion.
Capt. Vann was i'll but a few min
utes and the cause OF his sudden
death is believed to have been an
acute attack of Indigestion. He had
been looking after some repairs be-

directing the work of the carpenters
doing the work. He arose at six
o'clock Wednesday morning and was
apparently in good health. A short
time afterwards, however, he came in
from the yard and complained of a
sharp pain in his chest. AS the pain
apparently increased a couple of the
men were called into the house and
a physician was summoned, but be
fore the arrival of the doctor Mr..
Vann was dead Efforts to revive
the man were carried on by the ply
sician for some time, but without
avail.
Capt. Vann came TO Daytona from
Ponce Park about 20 years ago and
has made his home in this city con
tinuously since, although his occu-
patton on the river took him away
from home much of the time. He
had lived in Ponce Park and vicinity
for many years before coming to
Daytona.
A significant feature of his death
was the fact that he died on his
46th birthday anniversary. He is
survived by his widow, four daugh
ters, Mrs. Charles Lockwood, Flor
ence. Margaret and Evelyn Vann, all
of this city, and one son, Walter
Vahn, also of this city. He is also
survived by his father, who came III
from his home near Oak Hill yester
day after being notified of his son s
death.
Capt. Vann had followed the river
practically all of his life and at tn,
time of his death was in command o
the yacht Osprey II, owned by c. r
Runyon of New York. He had beer
in command of the Osprey II 70
some time and his son was associate
with him on the boat.

PUPILS IN
THE STATE
2,7O7 BUILDINGS ARE IN Use
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
4,345 TEACHERS ARE EMPLOYED,
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT
OF STATE SUPERINTENDENT
HOLLOWAY.

TALLAHASSEE, Jan. - State
Superintendent Holloway has issued
his biennial report Of the schools of
the state, and a great deal of inter
esting data in connection Herewith
for the two years ending June 12,
1912, is contained therein. The re-
port covers a wide scope, and in addi-
ton to general reports from the va
rious counties of the progress and
condition in their respective districts
there is a vast amount of statistical
information, which, if studied, gives
a most comprehensive insight to the
school conditions In Florida.
The total enrolment of pupils for
the state, both races, is 57,161. or
about 64 percent of the school popular
tion Of the state. The attendance is
an average of 11O,364 daily, which il
20 percent of the enrolment. The
percentage of enrolment to popula-
ton and the average daily attendance
in proportion to enrolment is i'm,
creasing. This is proof positive OF
a growing interest in the value of ed
ucation.
There are 2,707 schools in the
state, 1904 of which are white and
500 colored. The average length of
the school term is 109 days five
months and nine days); whites, ia
days and negroes 81 days
Among the white children enrolled
in schools it is gratifying ct least to
note that there are more boys who
begin school than girls, though it is
well known fact that a large per-
eentage of the boys drop out before
completing high school.
There are 4.345 teachers employed
in the state, of which number .O39
hold first grade certificates, I,677
hold second grade certificates and
932 hold third grade. There are 697
others who hold certificates of the
various special classes. These statis-
tics show a gratifying tendency of
the teachers of the state to improve
the grade of4their certificates. which
means better equipped teachers fog
the schools.
The salaries OF the teachers is a
subject of some interest. The follow
ing is the highest and lowest salaries
paid: Highest white, $500 per month
Lowest, $50 per month. Colored, high
est, 800 per month; lowest, $40 per
month. Highest paid white female
teacher is Pinellas county, $3.50 per
month. Highest salary paid white
male teacher is DuvaI county, $500
per month.

Graeme says that Alcalde is one of
the smoothest men among the consti-

City of Mexico to the advantage of
the rebels, or insurrectos, as he pre-
fers to call them
Locally, the Mexican sympathizers
are not very active. There are
thousands Of that class in Los An
geles, but on account of the close
watch kept on the situation on the
border they are unable to do much
in the way of sending contraband
stuff across the line.
Special Agent Bowen has made
two trips to Yuma the past week to
nab some of the small ST. pperS of
arms and ammunition, but so far
has not been successful lie is Of
the opinion that by reason of the
close espionage exercised by the SOL
diers and government officers along
the line there is buy little raunition
of war getting int, Mexico.
Speaking of the sitriation at AIeAi-
cali, Bowen said that one good COM
pany of United States infantry could

lean soldiers stationed there and
guarding the place from the attack
of the rebel, Rudolfo Gallego.

OF GROWTH OF

CBy J. Freeman cox.)

The following figures, taken from
the association year book just issued,
shows that the North American asso-
Citations continue to grow with amaz-
ing rapidity.
Eighteen hundred thirty-one asso-
Citations report an aggregate member
ship of 597 ,S57. a gain of 31,756
members in a year. OF this number
Sl,529 are serving on committees.
OF this nearly COO, 900 members
S6,O91 are railroad men, $500 col
lege and 81 $40 are engaged in in
dustrial occupations.
There are now 1853 men who
serve the association as employed
officers
The educational department num-
bers $4,000 students. a gain of G,0OO.
These students paid over 100000
for tuition fees.
In the association bible classes
ll4,272 different students are en-
rolled
There are SS1 physical depart
ments where 360,36S members give
attention to physical exercises and
about double that number used the
physical department in some OF its
boys were taught to swim.
The net association property gain
OF the year was sS,207 ,451.00 MAX
ing a total value of buildings of
SSl ,367,7 ,744.00 with s6,547,7l5.00

and building activities Of the asso-
Citations In this state Denver having
2,313 members, Colorado Springs
1853, Grand Junction AIS, Fort Col
Inns 262 and Boulder 1873.
This is comparatively good show
ing for our association but not good
enough as long as there are many
men and boys In town who do not
really understand the association
idea. There is big difference be-
tween an association member and an
association man.

building; knows 1t mas fine gym
and good swimming pool; he pays
the fee and Is a member.

mere association member to n real
association man. He believes in II
from the ground up now for he has
learned that the Y. NJ. G. A. presents
to him and all other young men O
good opportunity for the building OF
great life.
To this number of real association
men much credit is due for the sue.
