KNOTT ON CARE
CONV|CTS

Gainesville, Aug. 1.-The appear
ance in this city Wednesday afternoon
of State Comptroller w. v. Knott and
State Bank Examiner B. C. Whitfield,
may have made some people feel a
little shaky, but there is no need of
this. Mr.. Knott was returning from
a visit to the convict camps at Ocala
and was met here by the bank exam
liner and some other parties from a
distant town for conference on mat
ters which needed adjusting between
them. Mr.. Knott continued his jour
ney to the state capital Friday morn
ing, leaving on the o'clock north
bound train, over the Atlantic Coast
Line railway, and Mr.. Whitfield went
south.
While here Mr.. Knott outlined at
some length the intentions of the
board Of state institutions with re-
gard to the disposition of the state
convicts. He says that ultimately
I1lCAC Will DC AO WOIh LUZ tnGIi 10
do, other than that on the farms at
the camps. He cites two reasons for
this. First sentiment in the state is
rapidly crystallizing against the Gus
tom Of leasing them out for any pur-
pose. Secondly, the building of pub
lie roads will finally be completed and
there will be no need for them along
+hat line for the reason that the coun.
ty convicts will be able to keep the
roads up after they arc constructed.
1t is the purpose of the state board,
therefore, to make these camps self
sustaining just as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Knott is of the opinion that this
can and will be done. On the farms
they grow al the staple crops ex-
cept cotton, and notwithstanding
they started in this year with practi-
cally everything new he says they
have produced some very fine crops.
Mr.. Knott grows enthusiastic when
discoursing on this subject and i'm
| presses one as being deeply in earn
est.

vantage in any of the regular groups.
This teacher coaches backward pupils
and helps the brilliant ones to jump
to the next higher division.
In East Chicago, Ind, child is
promoted at any time the teacher and
supervisors feel he would be benefited.
The plan is the pass pupils if they are
doing their best, even if che grades
are low.
The superintendent Of schools in
williamsburg, Va, reports: 1--WE use
the shifting group plan IF grading
pupils and a fern of reports to pa
rents that keep parents thoroughly
informed as to the pupils standing
during the year. AS each weakness
Of q pupil undiscovered by t1e teacher,
it becomes matter Of special consid-
GRAFTON and study by teacher, parents,
principal, and the pupil. Tentative
shifts can be made at any time. The
aim is to relieve the teacher of all
minimum, but to insist upon a con-
red tape and to reduce routine to the
slant and sympathetic study of the
child-every child-but particularly
every child who is in danger of falling
behind his class. No percentages or
grades are accepted from a teacher
as excuses for promotion or demo-
ton. If a pupil is weak, efforts are
made to ascer, ain the exact nature
Of his weakness early in the term and
remedy it,"

No Movement Towards
Electing Charter Board.

Senator Farfis, who il candi-
date for governor, secured the
passage of bill during the last
I legislature which provides for the
revision Of town and city charters
without reference to the leglsla-
ture. This has the appearance
of being a wise piece Of legisla-
ton, and many towns and cities
win soon be going about the cleo
ton If charter boards provided
for in the act. Pensacola, which
has 4 commission charter, Is the
first city to take such steps.
It is likely that Pensacola has
discovered that heS commission
charter is not as thorough al, it
should be.
The above Is from the Orlando Re
porter-star. Editor Reese is emf
nently correct in his last assertion
that a'it is likely Pensacola has dis
covered that her commission chartet
is not as thorough as it should be-
but he is rnisinformed on the matte.

The Farris act was approved b
the governor. on June 4th and unde
its terms charter board selectict
should be called within 90 Gays. A
yet no action has been taken by tn
city commissioners towards calm
such elsetion. despite the fact tina
about seventy Of the ninety days hay
passed. If the city commissioner
contemplate calling such an electio
they are keeping this fact to them
selves, i habit they have formed whe
the matters at issue are Of iinport
ance to the public. Or it is possibl
the aforesaid commissioners are hes
tating for fear the citizens have di'
covered that commission government
as administered by. the triumvirat

ideal form Of government it had bee

Increased Valuations and
a Higher Tax Rate.

Notice has been received from the
state by the various tax collectors Of
Florida Of the increase OF the tax
levy by cne-half mill, ard it is stat
ed that such an increase is necessary
by reaeon of the large appropriations
made by the recent Legislature.
Last year the valuation Of property
was increased in Escanbia county by
about 100000. It war done after
the state tax commission had urged
upon ali tex assessors and boards Of
county commissioners the necessity
Of adjusting the valuations. Of proper
ty il their respective counties. and
bringing them nearer their actual
value.
At the same tirle it was understood
that with the valuations increased the
state tax levy could be decreased con-
sidcrably and that the taxpayera
consequently would not be called upon
to pay lager sum than in previous
years. Escambia's valuations were
therefore increased by about two mil
lions. and on top of this comes the
notification that the state tax levy
has not been decreased, but has been
increased by a half mill.
It is therefore quite evident that
few of the counties Of Florida took
the advice of the state tax commits
sion. Had they done SO and their in
creases had been in proportion t
that of Escambia there would havs
been no increase in the tax levy, de
spite the 100000 appropriated b!
the legislature.
| It is a case where Escanlbia coun
ty followed the advice Of the tax com
mission and is paying the penalty will
I a higher tax levy.

Compulsory Education
Race Among States.

A race to avoid being the last state
in the union to adopt compulsory ed
ucation is apparently under way in
the southern states, according to re-
ports received at the United States
Bureau of Education There are now
only three states without such laws
Florida having recently Joined Texas
and South Carolina in adopting COM
pulsory education by legislative enact
ment. These three states which will
enact laws are Georgia, Mississippi
and Alabama.
The new Florida law provides that
on petition of one-fourth OF the cleo
tors Of any special school district Oh
county, the county board of education
shall call an election to determine
whether attendance shall be compuI
sorry therein. A three-fourth MAORI
~ vote is necessary for adoption
Children between 8 and IA years Of
age are required to attend for a
least so days each year, unless ex
enpt because of physical Or menta
disability; because they live FL;
miles from school and no transpor
tation is provided; because their ser
vices are required for the support o
dependent family; or because thei
parents are unable to provide book
and clothing.
BY the provisions Of the law tn
county boards Of education are au
thorized to appoint attendance officer
to enforce the law and to t,ike a cen
sus Of the children between and 2
years Of age.
Although the Florida law is thus 0
the optional type, it is a clear recog
milton of the compulsory principle an
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-08-15

lis regarded as a real step in adj
vance.
Officials of the Bureau of Education
point out that this years compulsory
educational legislation is part of a
big educational advance all along the
line. Nearly all the state legislatures
were in session during 1915, and much
of the educational discussion that has
been going on for several years
crystallized into law. The Alabama
Legislature has reconvened for the
summer session and much school
legislation will be discussed, including
compulsory education law. The fact
that Alabama does not meet again
for four years makes it likely that
Georgia and Mississippi may get
ahead of her in adopting compulsory
legislation, unless action is taken this
year.
IN the field of compulsory education
throughout the United States it is be-
lieved that the next steps will have
to do with the adoption Of statewide
laws where optional laws now pre-
vail; the raising Of the age limits in
conformity with the best principles
in child-labor legislation; and more
strict enforcement of existing laws.
