INDECENT IF 1T ISN'T LEGAL

Dixie says: Following Dixie's ex-
posure that Cary d. Landds, a state
attorney for the Seventh judicial
district, was holder of a railway
pass, came the news of the resigna-
ticn CT Mr. Landis. This, however,
a wise thing on the part of Mr. Ian
dis, should not prevent him from
being arrested and prosecuted for
violating the law.
Senators J. B. Johnson of Live Oak
and Y. L Watson of Quincy, railroad
lawyers riding on free passes, and
Representative "A. ID. Penny, of st.
Lucie county, should at once resign
as members of the Legislature. If
they decline the next legislature
should deny them seats.
The opinion of F. NJ. Hudson, at
torney for the railroad commd ssion,
is susceptible to but one inberpreta-
tion and that is that MO state official
NOR a member of the legislature can
ride ON passes without violating the
law
No Iaw-violator should sit in the
legislature. IF the tgentlemen above
referred to insist on holding their
seats it is reasonable to believe that
there will be something doing" IN

council, put in an ice machine that
would compel any firm or corpora
ton to sell ice at reasonable price
The Star would certainly favor such
a step; and the remote possibility of
its becoming necessary is one of the
reasons why it wants the city of
Ocala to keep its present utilities of
electricity and water in its own
hands. If there is anything in the
world likely to cause one of our
home industries to SELF out to for
eign corporation, it will be a policy
adopted by the city for cutting
prices on it occasionally, which ow-
ing to the sad perversity of human
nature, is just as likely to result
from political reasons as from a de-
sire TO serve the public.

The Times-Union gives some very
good advice in regard to our coastal
canal, which beside being of great
est use in Time of peace would lbe OF
first Importance in war, allowing our
torpedo boats and submarines safe

could dart and attack any hostile
fleet that might try to blockade our
shores. That lis all very good-the
CANAL should be improved to the
greatest extent, and plenty of sub
marines and torpedo boats should
lbe built-'they are more necessary
ito our country than battleships. But
if we ever have a war with such a
country ais Germany, it will not fool
away the time of Its fleet patro1ling

Fernandina's municipal ice plant
cost $4,000 ct is making about
8, 900 tons year, which is being
sold at $3 a ton Wholesale and 81 a
ton retail. They conduct their ice
plant In conn cotton with their water
and electric plant, so they cannot
make AN approx mate estimate on
what it costs ito make ice, but claim
it costs them 81 ton. They have
to pay at least 10 per cent. ON their
ice plant, SO it costs them $4,000 a
year to make 5000 toms of ice. There
lis a deficit somewhere which the tax
payer has to make good, whether it
goes ON his ice bill on not. And yet

Schools and the Summer Va
cation

While denying extreme statements
attributed to him, DR.. P. P. Clax-
ten. United States commissioner Of
education, has recently reiterated his
belief in continued school activity o.
some kind in summer months for most
children.
The schools should provide some
kind of instruction for the children
through what is now, in most cities,
Ia long, wasteful vacation" declares
DR. Claxton. He points out that school
takes at most 900 hours a year out Of
5,110 waking hours-asuming 10
hours Of sleep for children every night
the average child spends about 500
hours in school, and the remaining A.
80 waking hours out Of school, Dr..
Claxton suggests that summer WORK
last not longer than four hours-from
| : or 8 o'clock to II or u o'clock n
I the forenoon.
According to Dr.. Claxton, the school
of the future, both in summer aui
winter, will give less time to intensive
school study Of the ordinary type
probably about 3 hours; and 4 or ;
Fours to productive work supervise
by the school, done in shops, outdoor
gardens, or in the home
With this kind Of an organization, Sc
he declares, 1T would be very easy
for children to do ordinary school
work hours a day, 6 days in the
week, through II calendar months in
the year, and at the same time contrib
ute largely to their own support by
well-directed productive educational
work, either at home or in the school,
thus making it possible fer the grea;
majority of children to remain n
school throughout the high-school pc
riod.
The cost of adding the three months
CT school would be comparatively lit
tie, There would be no cost for fuel
the cost of attendance would be less
and the additional cost for teachers
would not be in proportion to the
number of days added Whatever may
Ibe the terms of the contract, teachers
are in fact employed by the year, Com
raratively few of them use the yaca
ion months in any profitable way An
average addition CT $500 to the an
nual salary Of city school teachers
would require a total of less than $40.
10000, or about psr cent. of the to
tai annual cost of the schools For
most teachers, the additional months
would not be a hardship, especially il
the school days were shortened. Ger
tainly this is true if teachers could
/ be relieved of a large amount of the
unnecessary bookkeeping, report max
ing and examination reading with
which they are now burdened.'
