QUESTIONS ASKED
ABOUT FLORIDA

Mr.. Robert Jones, representative
of Rollins College, has resumed
Lakeland as his place of residence
and in speaking Of the city, it's
growth, etc. he said to Telegram
representative this morning:
More than eighteen months ago
Mrs. Jones and left beautiful Lake
land and went to live on our home
stead on Lake Buffum, this county.
We have enjoyed the change from
the busy, strenuous life we were liv-
ing on trains, in hotels and in towns
and cities.

Lakeland. 1t is as if we have come
to live in new world almost. So
many chances. So many new and
interesting faces on the streets, in
the business places and in the hotels.
How Lakeland has grown and i'm
proved! SO like a real city now We
are proud of fair Lakeland.

people in every section of the Union

ty. Here are paragraphs from one
of them:

sent to me, and for the good letters

They have given me much informa
tion about Florida which greatly
appreciate.
The all important point that all
Florida literature omits is the health
The general understanding every
where outside of Florida is that it
is rceking with chills and fevers, and
malaria in general If the people
of Florida wish to have their lands
settled up they must make it very
plain that their country is a health
ful one.
:" Now, Bro. Jones, may I ask
you to tell me about this malarial
sickness proposition? If | can have
assurance on the health | am going
to take the teachers course at Rol

ing baptism. An ambitious school
boy of brilliant talents and violent
passions, he early lost both his faith
and his innocence. He persisted in
his irregular life until he was thirty
two. Being then at Milan processing
rhetoric, he tells us that the faith of
his childhood had regained posses
sion of his intellect, but that he
could not as yet resolve to break the
chains of evil habit. One day, how
ever, stung to the heart by the
account of some sudden conversion,
he cried out, 1.-THE unlearned rise and
storm haven, and we, with all our
learning, for lack of heart lie wallow-
ing here" He then withdrew into
garden, when a long and terrible
conflict ensued. Suddenly a young
fresh voice (he knew not whose)
breaks in upon his strife with the
words, Take and read" and he
lights upon the passage beginning,
walk honestly as in the day" The
battle was won. He received bap-
tism, he turned home, and gave all
to the poor. AT Hippo, where he set
tied, he was consecrated Bishop in
395. For thirty-five years he was
the center of ecclesiastical life in
Africa, and the church's mightiest
champion against heresy; whilst his
writings have been everywhere ac-
cepted as one Of the principal
sources Of devotional thought and
theological speculation. He died in
430. OF this great saint and doctor
OF the church a non-Catholic his
torian has said: Compared with the
great philosophers of past centuries
and modern times, he is the equal of
them all; among theologians he is
undeniably the first, and such has
been his influence that none Of the
fathers, scholastics or reformers has
surpassed it."

The hospice has only 1875 beds for

welcomed the officers. Room was
found for all.

Our Manless Schools

Teaching has become wOman's
business. When we use pronoun
referring to the word teacher" it is
almost invariably prOnou no the
feminine gender. To be sure there
are still some men engaged in the
ancient and honorable occupation of
imparting knowledge to the rising
generation, but they are nearly all to
be found in the high schools and col
leges. 1t is deplorable fact that our
grammar schools are almost without
men in the ranks of their teachers;
deplorable, not because women cannot
teach, but because men are sadly need
ed. No matter how capable woman
may be, she cannot command from
growing boy that ma acnn. The
boy is looking forward to manhood;
naturally he wants to apttern after
man. A straightforward, clean man
ly man, touching boys life daily in
the respected and intimate relation of
teacher, will do more to make HON a
straightforward, clean, manly man
than all the moral lectures he could
receive from women teachers. A
man. moreover, if he is of the right
sort, and we will have no other, can
understand the boy as woman can
not; a man can far more easily get
the boys point of view; a man knows
a boys motives and understands his
is able to help boy as no woman
temptations. Consequently man
can. Moreove r, when it comes to the
matter of discipline, not only boys,
but sometimes girls need the stricter
authority of the sterner sex backed
by the mans calmer and more bal
anced judgment.
How can we remedy this serious
defect in our public schools Probably
there is only one way. We must Of
fer our educated young men. not on
ly living salary, but one sufficient
to overcome their prejudice against
entering what is opularly recorded as
a woman's profession. Let us dis
miss entirely the question as to
whether woman should receive the
same remuneration as a man for the
same work, as not pertinent to our
problem. The fact is that man can
render a service to our boys which no
woman, however talented, can render;
and it is most important service.
We need men in our schools; we must
ankle it worth while for them to enter
the profession.

Ring Around

Mary had little ring, twas given
her by Joe,
And everywhere that Mary went that
ring was sure to go.
She took the ring with her one day
when she went out to tea
Where she might show it to the girls
who numbered twenty-three.
And when the girls all saw the ring
they made great ado.
And all exclaimed in chorus: "Hns i.
at last got round to YOU?"
