MOVEMENT FOR BETTER
SCHOOLS DESERVES SUPPORT

Editor Pensacola Journal
I think the movement for better
schools deserves enthusiastic support.
Nothing aids so much in upbuilding a
city in every way as good schools.
From a material standpoint the in
Vestment in schools pays. one Of the
first inquiries the Chamber of Com
merce receives from most prospective
.settlers is about the school system.
An insufficient or incomplete school
service will neither attract nor hold
the sort Of citizens we want to get.
but the contrary.
The public schools here are doing
good work, but they need many bet
terments. / have found no city of this
size anywhere which IS not incor-
porated into a special ditrict or dis
tricts for the control Of its own
schools. To do this will open the way
for many improvements. Our school
organization and methods must keep
abreast with the times, or the rising
generation will not be prepared to do
their part well in the work Of the
world.
