AUSP|C|OUS OPENING
OF PALATKA SCHOOLS
Largest Enrolment in His
tory-Opening Entertain
ment Well Attended.

/ Patrons of the Palatka High school
manifested their interest in that in
stitution last Monday by turning out
in numbers at the opening exercises.
Prof. R. W. Van Brunt, smiling and
cordial, with his assistants, greeted
all csmers.
Frank Wattles, head of the Putnam
county school board was also on hand
and smiling. Wattles is new at this
business of supervising school mat
ters, but he takes hold with master
hand.
Superintendent Cettingham was
also there to give his official blessing
When all had assembled and quiet
was secured at the tap of the bell,
Rev. DR.. Afford of the Presbyterian
church read an appropriate scripture
lesson and offered prayer.
President Wattles then made kind
| ly, appropriate address, of the kind
that wins. He was followed by Su-
rerintendent Cottingham, also with a
few appropriate remarks.
Judge Julian c. Calhoun, a graduate
Of the school and one who knows how
it is himself, was introduced and said
some winning words; he knows how
to do it.
Mrs. D. ]. Caughlin followed with
magnificent address to the children,
Mrs. Caughlin is president of the Wo-
mans Club. She has influence with
women and it was plain, by the way
her address was received, that she
also has influence with children. She
Lleased them as well as her adult
! hearers.
Prof. Van Brunt spoke briefly; he
will be heard frequently during the
Iyear.
Then followed a violin solo by Lew
Barstow that was a treat to all pre-
sent, as also was the exquisitely rem
Gered vocal solo by Miss Grace Uric.
The closing prayer was by Rev. w.
NJ. Poage fhe Methodist church.
The school opens this year with the
largest enrolment in it's history. Two
teachers failed to connect; the assis-
tant principal and the third grade
teacher. The first has been supplied
by the arrival yesterday of Prof. Chas.
F. Morrison of Apopka, who was last
year principal of the high school at
Green Cove Springs. Prof. Morrison
is to assist the principal, Prof. Van
Erunt, and will teach mathematics
and science. 1t is hoped to secure a
teacher for the other vacancy before
the end of the week.
During the summer the old building
! has been remodeled somewhat and
made more presentable. Paint has
been freely used in the interior and ex-
terror decorations and the old build
ing is really presentable, when one
considers the hard times.
There is every reason to predict a
successful school year. The children
are entering upon their duties with
earnestneSs and zeal and the teachers
are filled with the same necessary
qualifications.

An Important Improvement.

The roadway running from First
street through to the river and the
Clyde Line dock, which the city made
passable only week or more ago by
providing a storm sewer to protect it
from washing into the gullies by the
heavy rains, has this week been level
ed off and curbed ready for the lay
ing of brick pavement.
1t seems that the Clyde Line offer
ed that if the city would level up the
street and curb it, the company would
furnish the brick for the paving. The
brick is expected to arrive any day
This will be a great improvement
ard one that will be appreciated by
citizens generally. 1t is understood
that the Clydes are contemplating
laying brick pavement on the ground
back of the warehouse.

The Good Old World.

Some people knock the poor old world
And say it's getting worse;
Some long for golden gates impaired
As per the Scripture verse;
But this world is what you make it,
And despite old Adams fall,
Somehow it seems a good old world
To live in, after all.
There may be lots of shadders here,
And sorrow all around,
But if you're looking for good cheer,
There's plenty to be found;
There's the music of the waters,
And the bobolink's glad call,
And somehow, it's good old world
To live in, after all.
OF all Gods creatures man alone
Is sad and discomfort.
And seems to think he ought to own
The whole big armament.
The birds and bees and butterflies,
And beasts and things that crawl
Believe that it's good old world
To live in, after all.

makes the following statement:
mo matter how safe as an invest
ment or how remunerative the rate or
interest on such loans may be we
feel that an institution engaged in the

conhne its investments to the ordinary
channels, and therefore we have not
participated in any of the European
loans offered in this country since the
beginning of the war"

SCHOOL NOTES

The members of the Parent-Teach-
ers' Association of the Washington
school are doing active work toward
having the grounds around their build
ing put in better shape.
The play ground around the school
has never been sanded, and during
dry weather the dust has been so
deep that it was impossible for the
children to keep themselves present
able if they played in the yard Steps
are being taken to have the grounds
leveled, after which they will be sur
faced with coarse sand. The cooper
alton of some of the patrons Of the
district in offering teams and their
services in drawing the sand, and
others in contributing money to help
defray the expense is very gratifying
and is sincerely appreciated by the
school authorities.
During the past week fire drills
have been rehearsed in the various
ward schools with excellent results.
The time taken to empty the respect
i've building is:
Washington school 40 seconds
Lincoln school ..........4 AS seconds
Van Buren, school IS seconds
