Mr.. Lord, civil engineer in the At
lantic Coast Line service, dropped off
today for few hours to confer with
Secretary IIolworthy regarding the
proposed Improvement around Lake
Wire and with reference to the re-
quest for cooperation in the plan by
his company Mr. LORD, speaking
for himself, considered the PROPOSE
tion a fine one, good for the indi-
vidual property owners. good for the
railroad. good for the town and that
the improvement of Lakes Wire and
Morton would bring and hold larg
el and better class of people (finan-
Cially) than had hitherto come be-
fore. For light traffic he considered
sand-asphalt a very good material to
use, from a point of low first cost
and economic maintenance He was
not able to state the company's po-
sition in this matter, but would have
no hesitation in recommending the
Improvement.

some necessary resolution or ordi-
nance to set the machinery in mo-
ton.
The cry goes up day by day for
some more passable thoroughfares
Leading into and out of Lakeland
The need is imperative and there il
certainly some way in the economy
of our municipal administration by
which the problem may be solved.
We should be willing to patiently
await the working out of all the nee
essary details in matter like this
out absolutely refuse to submit %
delay while nothing is being done =.
The proud position of Lakeland is at
stake, and she is humbled every day
by the scathing criticism we are
called upon to endure and to which
we can give no satisfactory answer
Regular meetings of bodies whose
business it is to push these important
questions do not occur often enough
and the men who are really inter
ested in these matters should hold
special and, if necessary. daily SEES
sions until some active steps are TAX

be commenced. 1T NEEDS TO BE
DONE, DO IT NOW.

WE'VE GOT TO PUT THEM WISE

There are hundred million peo-
PIE in these United States of ours
who would like to live and prosper
in this land of fruit and flowers.
but they don't know much about it
and some have ne'er heard tell of
the wondrous charm and beauty
which DER them'd cast spell
We've got to put them wise and to
do so-adyertise
WE are so happy and content and
life seems but a fieeting dream, we
forgot that there are others, and
they don't see as we have seen. We
must be up and doing and spread
the gospel here and there-sound
the tocsin fiaunt the banners, beat
the drum for fair. We've got 10
put them wise and to do so-adver-

You can sit down and wish that
prosperity would come and have
your prayer answered--for this is
never done. You're got to get up
and hustle, brush, the cobwebs from
your sight; get some backbone stead
Of wishbone and things'll come out
right. We've got to put them wise.

it was found that they could not
so in that grade.
The great purpose OF the
school is to prepare the child to
successfully live; to fight his bat
ties in life honestly and honor
ably; to deal with his fellow-man
in a straight way and not be a
hypocrite; to be loyal to yourself,
to those who are working for you,
and those for whom you are
working; to waste but little
time thinking about your enc
mics; to choose judiciously what
you would like to do for your life
work and then move straight to
the goal; to frame in your mind
the honest, sincere, and thought
full person you wish to be; to
get ready to live here and here
after.
We need vocational training
in our schools as we'll as cultural
in order to realize the fullness of
life; we need Domestic Science
and Home Economics, Manual
Training, kindergarten, a Com
mercial Course, and a Normal
| Department.
! The Normal Department
should be placed in all Senior
High School at at least one
school in county so that the Rur-
al teachers will have an oppor-
tunity to better prepare for the
great work before them. In this
way, the work will be largely
unified, so that when pupils fin
iSh the work as laid out i'll the
country schools, they will not
have any trouble in being classi-
fed in the city schools, because
the teacher will impart her infor-
nation as given by these Normal
Departments in the Senior High
Schools.
| We need the Commercial De
apartment in order that we may
give those who are not financially
able to complete four years OF
| High School work. By giving
them a commercial education
they will be enabled to finish
their High chool work. Tehn
again. the Commercial Depart
ment will take many boys from
the streets who would otherwise
be criminals. This course is very
attractive to boys of this nature.
| If we can he instrumental in tax
ing the boy or girl from the
street and starting him in the
| direction of right living, it is our
duty to do it. A great deal may
be said about the benefit derived
from the other Departments, and

us if they can.
i Lakeland needs Central High
School Building more than any
other thing. We know that the
county and local boards have
been very liberal considering thu
heavy Indebtedness of the coun
ty. 1t takes a great deal o
money to put these department.

i one grade to another, may take
their examination September ga,

classification is for the High
School only.
! All new pupils and pupils i'll
lower grades who have been CON
ditioned will be classified by a
grading committee. The fact that
you have taken work from some
teacher during July and August
does not classify you in the least
and will not be accepted. 1t is
our purpose to be very strict in
classifying all pupils. On &C
count of the general confusion
over the new buildings last year,
many little details were omitted.
This will be attended to this
year with more care. Bring your
