sea shark with a view to proving
that that animal or fish has been
slandered and will not attack and de-
YOUR a living human being and he has
dug up a striking instance which sus-
tains his theory.
Our attitude in this matter has been
purely one Of watchful waiting. and
merely in the way of technical pleading
we entered a general denial and called
for proof. Editor Mayes has cited one
satisfactory case, and we are glad nat
he has, for it will add to our sense of
comfort and security during our ap-
preaching season of sea bathing at
Palm Beach, Pass-a- Grille and other
fashionable resorts. But in no quib-
cling spirit we ask, does the case re-
ferred to prove that all sharks in all
waters are timid and afraid of live
objects alien to the sea. particularly
live human beings? To make it more
personal, is Brother Mayes willing to
act on the suggestion of the Tampa
Times and swim out in Pensacola bay
right in among school of sharks of
the supposed man eating variety and
dare them to bite him?
Seriously speaking. the editor of The
Journal has been doing a real service
to his generation by his Investigations
into this question, for from time imme-
mortal it has been the popular impress
sion, strengthened by newspaper and
magazine stories and sailors yarns,
that the tiger shark was the deadly
enemy of man, sure to devour him If
it got the opportunity; always hungry
and always seeking him; and If all this
IS mere myth without any foundation
in fact. the news can't be spread too
far nor too soon and it will rob the
tropic and semi-tropic seas of their
greatest terror.

BY B. B LANE. Principal Pensacola High school.

It is generally admitted by all who
pay any attention whatever to the
subject that one of the greatest OBJ
stacies to better educational conditions
in Florida is a lack of sufficient money
to run the schools. The salaries of
teachers are generally paid promptly
and without discount though in vast
number OF cases such salaries are
grossly inadequate, but in so far too
many instances schools lack modern
equipment, furniture, apparatus, etc.
and because of lack of skilled direc-
tors, the teaching attempted In APP
piled arts and industries is altogether
too haphazard and unscientific. Our
high schools and rural graded schools
are greatly handicapped in doing their
best work because they are not given
any financial aid from the state, and
the state institutions themselves-the
university, the State College for Won-
en-, the School for the Deaf and the
Blind, and others-need a surer source
of income than appropriations from
the general treasury of the state. The
county boards of public instruction are
heavily in debt; perhaps in Duval.
Eillsborough and Escambia counties
debt Is the heaviest, but no county
can keep its schools UP to the stand
ard and avoid going hopelessly in debt
---hopelessly, because. with the present
system, in most counties the yearly
revenue is insufficient for current
expense, to say nothing of paying back
debts.
The remedy for this condition lies

Both are interested in the schools, but
neither know generally how great is
the necessity for more money or what
Is necessary to provide it. The best
plans for providing the needed money
will have to be worked out carefully
by the combined intelligence of the
state and by the combined support of
all the people crystallized into law.
The greater the interest and co-opera-
ton of the people, the surer and more
rapidly will conditions be improved.
Among matters of legislation needed
there are apparently three constitu-
tional amendments, with provisions
about as follows:
First. A constitutional amendment
authorizing the levy of one-mill state
tax, the proceeds to De divided equally
between the state institutions on the
one hand, and the junior and senior
high schools and the rural graded
schools on the other Such an amend
ment was introduced in the legislature
of 1913, but died in committee. It
should be reintroduced and, with pub
lie opinion solidly behind it, should be
pressed to successful issue from the
very opening of the legislature.
Second. A constitutional amendment
changing the basis of the apportion-
ment of the interest on the state
school fund. This interest Is now APP
portioned to tho counties on the basis
of the yearly average attendance in
the schools. The amendment might
provide that the apportionment of pos
sibly one-half of the interest should
be continued in this way, and that the

PALMER COLLEGE

DeF'uniak, Jan. 24.-The students OF
Palmer college were delighted with the
announcement that upon the compile
ton Of the mid-year examination, Mr..
Kenneth Bruce will begin his lectures
on English literature.
Mr.. Bruce has really interested the
students in the study Of the literature
of the English speaking people, and
has not only gained the sympathy and
aroused the enthusiasm of the entire
student body, but has made them ap-
preciate the study of literature as a
privilege rather than regard it as a
necessary performance of a duty.
This will be the third series of lee
lures which Mr.. Bruce has given us.
the first began on the drama of Shake
speare with intensive study of AS

was on the subject, What To Read
and How to Read It" The course for
this year will consist of ten or twelve
lectures, with a critical study OF

other half should constitute a fund for
giving state aid to the counties that
may make provision for practical
teaching of such vocational subjects as
practical agriculture, according to
scientific methods on school farm,
domestic science and art, practical car
pentry-especially farm carpentry-and
other manual arts. the fund to go large
ly toward providing equipment and
supporting county directors of such
work in counties that would provide
qualified teachers for schools where the
courses should be given. Florida boys
and girls need this necessary training
If the resources of the state are to be
properly developed and conserved. and
if the boys and girls are not to suffer
the lack of really practical education
such as other states are providing for
their children. Blessed will be the men
who put the opportunity in their way.
Third. constitutional amendment
changing the membership of county
boards for equalization of taxes, Civ
ing members Of the boards of public
instruction seats in the county boards
of tax equalization along with county
commissioners. BY making the board
of public instruction in each county
consist of five members, one of whom
should be the county superintendent
provision could be made whereby four
members of the board of public in
struction could, together with the five
county commissioners, make up the
county boards of equalization of taxes.
Two very important considerations
would be met by this plan: first, the
sol of nf the
board of public instruction would have
a voice in saying how much funds
could be made available every year for
the schools School boards are the
only tax-levying bodies in Florida that
ment of the values of property on
which such taxes are levied-and since
the millage levied is fixed, as to maxi
mum, by the constitution, it is too Oft
en- the case that county commissioners.
considering only the amounts they
must raise for general county ex-
penses, keep valuations of property for
tax purposes VIGOROUSLY oelow the
actual market value Of the properties.
this cause more than any other is re-
sponsir'e for a vast number Of de-
licences in our schools.
The people keep demanding. that the
schools shall improve. but the first
requirement for lettering the schools
is more money. This is the history of
school Improvement all over the ma
ton and all over the world. Unless
these amendments, or others that will
be still more effective, become part of
the organic law of Florida, the whole
state will continue to suffer. If the
state press will investigate them and
discuss them, it is likely that the de-
mands for some measures of relief may
become so strong that at its coming
session the legislature may submit to
the people for ratification at the polls
some constitutional amendments that
will remedy all the conditions speci-
fed.
