ARMY OF WORKERS ON
FLORDA'S GRANDEST ESTATE

One out OF every twenty-five OF
Miami's 10000 residents is working
daily at the Deering estate in the
city Of Miami, preparing home for
James Deering. Eight hundred men,
many of them the finest mechanics
and artisans, are engaged on the
largest development project in the
State of Florida-erecting show
place for the millionaire harvester
man, an estate that. will compare
favorably with the resorts of Eu-
ropean royalty-all within the cor
porate limits of the city. of Miami.
When completed, the 'eDeering job"
will represent the investment of
several millions of dollars and al
though the work was started some
eighteen months ago and has been
pushed rapidly, only the she'll of the
great house is finished, while the de-
velopment work on the grounds has
been only fairly started.
The immensely of the project can
not be imagined. Even after a trip
through the grounds and along the
bay front one is able to get only a
small idea of the vastness of the
work. The hundreds of men at work
on the job are gradually bringing
the plans to completion out of \
seeming chaos, but there is a years
steady work yet for the eight hun
dred men before the estate will be
/ finished.
Enter Through Beautiful Grounds
AS a person enters the grounds
through the main gate on Miami
avenue he is confronted with n
winding road leading through the
woods. Back and forth this road
way leads, first to the right and then
to the left. Along the road scores
of laborers are at work plantin g
trees and flowers and shrubbery
The beauty of this road can only be
imagined, for the work is just get
ting fair start. Everything is
torn UP at present, but the foremen
have the completed job in their
minds eye, and not wasted blow is
struck. System everywhere is what
strikes the observer on his first trip
to he estate.
Following the winding road
around its several bends the visitor
suddenly comes to sharp curve and
there in front of you is the house.
House" is a poor term to use, for
rising majestically on the shore Of
! the bay, surrounded by the dense
woods on the north and west, and
the formal garden on the south, it is
more of palace than anything else.
Formal Drive in Front
Some fifty yards in front of the
building there is slight hill-the
piazza-from which a formal drive
leads up to the forecourt in front
or the main entrance. The plans for
the formal drive are still on paper,
but when completed this part of the
estate will add wonderfully to the
beauty of the place. From he piazza
down the hill to the forecourt there
will be series of fountains in cas-
cade effect leading into an elliptical
driveway in front of the main en-
trance. At the north and south ends
Of the forecourt will be huge gate
ways, wrought in attractive and or
namental designs. The driveway in
the forecourt is of elliptical design
and ends at the steps leading UP to
the main entrance Of the building.
In the center of the forecourt will be

Our attention is called by the
Clearwater Sun to the fact that il
is the city of St. Petersburg, not
Pinellas county, which is to vote
upon compulsory education. The
Sun says of the theory of compul.
sorry education:
ut looks good from the crust
well-browned and tempting; but
when the crust is raised the inter
Tor is not so inviting; for feature:
not expected to be found are re-
vealed. consisting largely of add
tional trouble and public expense
scarcely commensurate with the goot
to be acquired
The illustration used by our CON
temporary only proves that in the
case of the "well-browned crust
with a raw or underdone interior
that the heat was not rightly dis
tributed and with its proper regula
tion the interior of the bread woult
have beens cooked as well as the
crust. The trouble was neither
with the heat nor with the stove
but with cook lacking in expert
knowledge. If the theory of com
pulsory education is right, in the
end It will come out right in prac'
.tice Plenty of defects will be dis
covered on its first application, but
there are remedies for all defects il
the working out of a principle sount
in itself, and this is just as true il
morals as in mechanics. There is n,
remedy for ignorance but in edu
cation, and as law seeks the Creates
good for the greatest number ant
puts the welfare of the whole com
munity above the prejudices of thu
individual, so compulsion as provid
ed by law, must be used when tn
parent fails or refuses to give hi
child the opportunity for education
We might as we'll see the handwrit
ing on the wall in this issue. Uni
versal education, compulsory wher,
necessary, is on the way, and in til,
larger part of this country it ha
already arrived.

Aquotation from the Quaker Sunday
school calendar for 1915: ''It is true
and 1t is the greatest comfort that
it is true-that the giving of a glass
of water can please God, and the
sweeping Of a room can glorify
Him."
Rev. ]. T. Boone, Of the First
Christian church in Jacksonville,
has his vacation later than most
ministers, that is, he takes 1t in
August or September. The Florida
Metropolis tells how the young peo-
pie are helping in the church serv-
ices when their pastor is away. That
is the way young people always
should do, be willing workers" for
their church.

The conventions dates must part

Lehman decided he would come

following are the dates we have so

Boston visitor: Weirsdale, SO;
Tampa, 80; Miami, 1E14; Jack

fast and good delegations sent to
hear Mr.. lehman and get the good

The Miami Metropolis gives good
advice when it says that we should
not wait till the holidays to send
the Children's Home Society gifts of
money and other things. Let US

At Cocoanut Grove, the new, strong
organization in the Con gregational
church has decided to hold bust

their September meeting, Miss Hill

members voted in.

that the change of the fee system &c
a salary system, as called for by
Candidate Wood and to accomplish
which he asks the governor to call
an extra session of the legislature
can only be effected by constitu-

true. Candidate Woods paramount
issue is a gone gosling. for his extra
