USEFUL CITIZEN

Jacksonville, Oct. 14.-After an
absence of two months on his vaca-
tion and business trip, Marcus Fagg,
superintendent of the Children's
Home Society of Florida. has re-
turned to Jacksonville. While away
superintendent Fagg visited insti-
buttons caring for children in six
different States and several indus
trail schools where Florida children
were being educated. The States
visited were Illinois, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North and
South Carolina. He was particularly
proud of the fact that the three
highest class honors in the Pitts
burg school went to three little
Florida children who, previous to
being sent away, had received prac-
tically no education, but now have
advanced rapidly dnder proper in
struction. Mr.. Fagg stated that
Florida was greatly in need of an
industrial school for boys and girls.

Flaherty.

The operation had been performed
successfully. One Of the zoo employees

of the affair came to see him as he
limped about his work.
In Jocko's cage a new Jocko. much

On you two years ago;
Now you refuse to go,
Or won't or can't.
Through town and countryside,
You were my joy and pride
A happy day.

Thy nice white tires new,
But now you are down and out for

In every way.
To thee, old rattle box,
Came many bumps and knocks;
For thee grieve.
Badly thy top is torn,
Prayed are thy seats and worn; s
The whooping cough affects thy horn

Thy perfume swells the breeze.
While good folks choke and wheeze,
As we pass by.

Now everybody's yelling "ice"-

Thy spark-plug has the pip,
And woe is thine.

Ague and kindred ills,
Endeavoring to pay my bills,
Since thou were mine.
Gone is my bank roll now,

Nothing Too Good
For Rural Schools
Give Rural Districts Competent Su-
pervision Equal To City Schools,
Says Education Commission

By uniting the small districts,
often feebly maintained, often poor
ly equipped, sometimes wretchedly
taught, the rural schools may be put
on an even footing with the indie
pendent districts.
They can do more than that. They
can get not only just as good build
ings for their purpose, just as COM
petent teaching and just as adequate
equipment-they can also get just as
capable supervision.
The city district hires the best man
it can find for superintendent of
schools. The independent district in
the village is just as careful about
hiring its superintendent as in engag-
ing its teachers. The rural district
has no supervision of its own. 1t
depends solely on the county super
intendent State inspection does not
reach the individual district. Four men
can't cover more than 1000 dist
riots for any effective day-to-day pur-
pose.
The district that needs supervision
most gets it least. The schools that
have to rub along with inexperienced
teachers are visited once or twice a
year by the county superintendent or
his assistant. They need great deal
of the help that trained teacher can
give a novice They get almost none.
The common school district, in which
all the country schools of country
will be united, will be able to hire
Just as good supervisors as the city
schools.
Instead of the county superintend-
ent, who is usually fully capable but
may be primarily master of the art of
getting votes, there will be the super
intendent chosen by the board, just
as the city superintendent is chosen
by the board of education in the in
dependent districts. He must have
knowledge. capacity and experience.
When a cooperative creamery is
started the farmers do not take turns

butter maker they can get If the

The Eternal Feminine

A stunning blow is said to have been given to
the cause OF. feminism in its relation to women juries
by the deliciously feminine conduct OF four members
of a jury Of women in Seattle. One OF the "jurcsses'
happened to. be temporarily %indisposed and the pros
pective comforts of a good nights rest on her own
downy couch outwcighed the more Spartan consid-
Grafton Of staying up with a number of her fellow
women jurors. Afidavits which have been filed in
the course OF proceedings for a new trial allege that
she induced three Of her colleagues to bring in a
verdict against their personal opinions, thereby end.
ing the consideration Of the case and permitting the
weary lady to 80 home and get some sleep.
In commenting upon this betrayal of the trust com:
naitted to the fair hands Of women, the trial Judge
waxed almost fearful in his regrets that his consist
ent championship of the cause OF women should re-
ceive such a severe setback. In season and out of
season, ran the tenor of his remarks, he had declared
that If women were only given the ballot and the
other rights of citizenship, including that of jury SER
vice, they would show the men that they" would not
succumb to the ordinary temptations Of humanity. II
their duties required them to sit up all night in u-
raveling@ q knotty case, they would sit up all night,
or would let down their back hair and sleep as best
they might in the chairs made and provided for their
deliberations. And now, at the first fire, they had
deserted the temple OF justice for the mere pleasures
of Morpheus-or at the most, to make sure that the
OTeau was nOl burning ana tnat the cat na0 been put
out. p.
Small wonder that his honor grew pensive in his
comments OIL the remarkable vogue which human
nature has attained, especially with women. Who
ever heard Of male jurors Tipping a coin to decide
a case? Who ever heard of them bringing in yerdicts
based on anything but the law as laid down by the
court and the alleged facts as produced by the W.
nesses? Who ever heard of them allowing their
personal whims or %prejudices to swerve them this
way or that? Who ever heard of them sacrificing
the immutable principles of justice to their personal
convenience? To ask the question is to answer
lots of people"
There is no particular reason for fearing that
Justice shrieked when the Seattle jury of women
found a verdict against a mere man, simply because
one member OF it was sleepy and three others were
obltglng. Such things have been known to occur
before and probably will occur in the future, regard
less of the sex of the jurors.
