THE TEACHING or ENGLISH
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

| Editor Pensacola Journal.
Some day I want the editor Of The
Journal to come to DeFuniak and give
the same address to our students as
he gave to the Pensacola High School
recently. 1t strikes twelve on the
practical things that prepare for life's
work and, IL everybody will pardon me,
it strikes deep into the weaknesses
OF our common school and private
school and college training. We
fool with Latin and Greek and what
nots and furbelows, all good and valu-
able In their place, but their place is
never to usurp the time and place
that should be given English Some
thing is the matter with our system
when any pupil can graduate from the
grades, to say nothing OF high school.
and still be unable to spell or to
speak or to write correctly. to send out
a letter imperfect in language or sub
stance or form. The business world
as well as the social world has placed
a standard and demands that 1t shall
be met.
The failure to meet this in my city,
Chicago, has been SO frequent that the
Chamber OF Commerce, composed of
men OF affairs, has sent representa-
tives abroad to study vocational
schools with the hope of planting them
by the side OF our public schools Right
here is the coming tug Of war whether
We shall have the vocational school
or the improved public school The
former would mean separate buildings
and equipments, increased taxation,
division of classes and masses It
would mean the establishment Of an
institution wholly at variance with the
democratic principle upon which this
nation was founded and for which we
would again shed our blood,
The opponents of this aristocratic
system confess that our schools are
far from perfect. They are on the
right road and can and will be per-
fected. They are staunch advocates
of industrial training incorporated in
each school and becoming a part of
each pupils life. They believe in this
way the efficiency of the strictly vo-
cational school can be attained in a
more economic and wholesome man
ner and in accord with the spirit of a
republic.
There is little doubt that the latter
will win, but it is up to US to make
good, to see that our teaching squares
with the world, that it is practical |
sensible, thorough, and makes for eff |
cheney.
So come up Mr.. Mayes and give |
your good talk

younger playwrights, to so build, that
its precepts would ever be set down
in their future works, the future OF
the stage would be assured.
Clean, wholesome, and constant de-
light to all, genuinely amusing, and at
the same time edifying. presenting no
problems, but earnestly amusing, what
more can be desired.
1t is doubtful if Denman Thompson
himself knew how well he was sue
ceeding, when he presented this truly
American homily on the life Of New
England, and all over this great coun-
try, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
not only the sons of New England
who perhaps have emigrated to dis
tinct parts Of this great continent, but
the sons OF all the states, as well as
the daughters all testify their apprecia-
ion OF the moral lesson set down, hence
the longevity Of this unique play,
which comes to the opera house Dec.
29th.

Az The Isis.

The Isis today has for an excellent
feature a yuletide drama, THE Christ
mas Spirit" featuring Murdoch Nc
Quarrie in a story of wrecked life
Old Harry, the dereIict, climbs out Of
box car and Is kicked and beaten
off by a trainman. He tramps the
railroad to a town and going to a
kitchen door, pegs for food. A Christ
mas Eve party is on and he is taken
in, given clothes and made up as
Santa Claus. After the party, and the
children go to bed, old Harry breaks
down and tells his story to Mary and
John, brother and sister, each mar
ried with children.
The derelct's story: Harry, a sail
or, has a wife and two children in a
nice cottage In a seaport town. 1t is a
happy family. He goes away on
voyage and is wrecked at sea- His
wife reads of the wreck and that all
on board have been drowned. Harry
is washed up on q, deserted beach in
makes his way home, only to find the
house deserted, SO he continues his
wanderings for years in search Of his
loved ones. He tells his hearers the
last he saw of his wife and children
was their sailing a little boat he had
carved. John and Mary looked at a
small dismantIed bark above the fire
place, and, showing it and an old photo
in the family album to him, they rec
ognize old Harry as their long-lost
father. The grandchildren come down
in their night clothes, and the picture
fades with the Riddles climbing all
over their grandpa's knees"
Another great play is 1.-THE Mountain
Lass in which Mary Fuller will ap-
pear. 1t is in three parts and one of
the greatest plays staged.

Is Pensacola Negro Baby
And Some Others.

\ few days ago, Pensacolians were
Mortified over the report that a negro
"a had locked two small children,
baby, in room, and left them
day, the infant being found dead
lsm cold when the room was opened
it night. The man himself was later
held by the coroner's jury for muir
Ger.
This was of course a fragrant case
and the cruelty and pity Of it aroused
The feelings of every man and woman
Who possesses a human heart.
Yet in Belgium, the little kingdom
across the water, whose fields and
cities have been devastated by the
CRIMES of the Kaiser and whose peo-
Ole arc now homeless and starving,
babies are daily perishing from cold
and for want of mothers milk.
Where one negro baby persisted in
Pensacola, under exceptional weather
conditions and unnatural neglect, thou
sands of white babies are perishing
in war-swept Belgium under much
colder weather conditions and as
result of the most inhuman treatment
that one civilized nation ever visited
upon another.
the contemplation of so appalling
condition at any time would produce
q revulsion of feeling which no words
can express, but at a time when the
world is preparing to celebrate the
birth of Christ that feeling is accen-
tuated a hundred-fold.
we were appalled, at the death OF
the negro baby because it happened in
our own community. How much more
appalling are the thousands of cases
Of white babies in the little war
tossed country across the sea.

Man Is Still the
Deciding Element.

Modern history, which is but an
other term for modern life, is full o.
surprises, and even the little we know
automatically of the operations by the
allied armies has been replete with
wonderful and unforeseen incidents
that would have been deemed the WIS.,
ions of romance if they had been sug-
gested only a few months ago. Even
ia machine made war man is the
deciding element, and man has ever
been the greatest surprise to himself
An unusual view Of the man in the
war is given by the Scientific Ameri-
can in a recent issue from which the
following is gathered:
Among the unexpected develop
ments of the war, none has been more
amazing than the unfiinching steadi-
.4ess with which the citizen soldiers of
the warning nations, and especially
those engaged on the western battle
fields, have faced the murderous at
tack Of modern weapons, whether by
the magazine rife, the machine gun,
the searching shrapneI, or the shatter-
ing, high-explosiye, 16-inch shell! 4
So accustomed have we become,
through the daily testimony of eyewit-
lresses, to the -than-human cour-
age with which frail flesh and blood
Is facing, day in, day out, and for
weeks together, the tornado of lead
and steel which sweeps over the mod
fnc
that only yesterday we were all say
ing that this miracle could not be. Had
not the military experts themselves
assured us that the accuracy and
volume of modern rifle, machine-gun,
and shrapnel fire was such, that not
the finest troops in the world could
be brought to face the tempest in a
frontal attack in the open.
And yet this very thing has hap
pened-not merely once, to be written
into the chronicles of nations sub
lime heroics, but everywhere and
very day throughout that far-fung
battle line on which Teuton is locked
in the death grip with Frank ard Bril-
ton.
Marvellous, also, is the fact that his
matchIess courage is being displayed,
not by the toughened veterans of
long campaign. not by professional
soldiers. steeled and tempered by the
discipline of barracks and camp. but
~ work-a-d day laymen. called at a |

FIRST DIPPING
VAT INSTALLED
IN THIS COUNTY
e. HICKS BUILDS ONE AT 5ARTH
ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT
SPECIFICATIONS - ERADICATE
THE CATTLE TICK.

E. Hicks and his sons of Barth,
near Molino, have just completed a
dipping vat, built according to gov
eminent specifications for the purpose
of graduating the cattle tick. While
the Hicks's have comparatively few
cattle of their own they have become
impressed with the fact that the dip
ping vat is the foundation for more
and better livestock IN this county
and have undertaken to demonstrate
this fact to others. The farmers
should all take their hats off to tbs
Messrs. Hicks in honor Of the first
step taken in the county towards tick
eradication.
There is perhaps nothing the citi-
ZenS of Escambia county could do that
would be of more value than to make
a systematic campaign against the
cattle tick. Not only would 1t directly
benefit the stock raiser by a saving
of the feed bill, but it would increase
the milk production of the dairy cow,
the value per pound of beef cattle and
the value of hides.
To be the first county in the state
to be released from the quarantine
would be a splendid advertisement in
the way OF interesting prospective set
tiers, especially those interested in
livestock raising. II the farmer, the
county officials and business interests
would cooperate in this effort the
county could be freed OF ticks in less
than twelve months time
Every one interested in the develop
ment of Escambia county should at
etnd the farmers institute to be held
at Gonzalez, Saturday, Dec. 10; Pop
lar Dell. Monday, Dec. FL, and BeIIview
