The largo number of incidental ex-

are the direct cause Of the high cost
OF the high school course.
In trying to strike a general av-
erage Of cost to parents" Mr.. COL
poys explained. I'VE first consider
such items as car fare, textbooks,
and the boys cadet suits.
Majority Must Ride.
"A large majority Of high school
pupils must ride to school Count
ing forty weeks to the school year,
you have an outlay Of so for that
item alone. Tho initial outlay for
books is not less than IS. II the
books are purchased new from re-
tail dealers By the end Of the year
this item Is increased from 81 to n
for other books in the English
COURSES, notebooks, etc.
After that time channels Of ex-
penditure vary with the different
schools. In some schools there are
locker fees: at Mckinley there are
mcdaniel Sslts 9. a d. drawing sets, costing
schools. II the pupil takes physics
or chemistry. there are laboratory
fees. In Business High School there
are extra expenditures for paper,
and for girls there are gymnasium
suits to be bought. II the girls are
to have advantage OF physical train
Ing"
I'm addition to these expenses. Mr..
Colpoys said. there are other expen-
ses that must be met by a pupil un-
less he Is to be socially ostracised.
There are teh ath etic association
fees. the subscriptions to school pa
pers, the dramatic productions. lun-
cheons. and SO on.
Criticism For "Fads."
'Fads In the schools not only in
crease the cost to tho community"
said Mr.. Colpoys. but they lessen
the usefulness Of the schools to the
pupil
"a pupil does not get as much now
in the grades as he did formerly. I
have no fault to find with sewing.
cooking, drawing. or carpentry in
the schools for those who can afford
the time. But with many poor boys
who must begin to work early, these
things are robbing them of time they
might put to better use.
I'VE should be the ones to favor
such courses as those in carpentry
and cooking and drawing. But l am
convinced that the smattering Of
these subjects pupils get IN The
schools Is Of little practical value.
But the maintenance of the courses
costs heavily"
The labor union has received the
Endorsement Of schools in its fight
for free text books throughout the
system.

In Men,Orianl

To the Florida Division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy:
For a third time within a few
months it becomes my sad duty to
announce the passing away of one of
our honored presidents. Mrs. Fannie
r. Gary, of OcaIa. fell asleep on
Tuesday, April %. at the residence
of her son, Mr.. w. T. Gary.
The hearts of those who loved her,
and they are many indeed, must be
sorroWful, but it is sorrow mixed
with many beautiful memories of a
life well lived, and full OF richness
and blessing to others; sorrow
soothed by the knowledge that for
her the WEAKNESS and pain of her
fourscore years are exchanged for
the rest and ease of the Blessed Land
where the dulled ears listen with
rapture to the songs of the redeem
ed; where the dimmed eyes see
clearly the face of the Risen Lord,
and her so long helpless feet go
swiftly to meet His coming.
It is as she would have it, and
faithful and loving still, she will wait
for all of us whom she loved, until
the morning of the Eternal day shall
dawn for us also.
Sister Esther Carlotta, s. r.,
President Florida Division United
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Rachael Brockton Jarvis,

admiration for Mrs. Gary, Sister Can
lotta sent for the funeral one of thA

dozens of carnations, Easter lilies,

 President Britton of the St. Louis Cardinals has discovered way to ball< the Federals from persuading any of his players to jump their contract. The plan may likely prove an expen- sive one and then again may not. Britton has informed every member of the Cardinal club that he will meet any demand from the outlaws, and asks that he be given preference over the invaders. Should Gilmore and his crowd offer n Cardinal faltering contract to jump then Britton will match this with ono equally as good.
