TEACHERS DISCUSS
NEW LEGISLATION
Recommendations VIII Be
Made To Solons On
Certain Matters.

At meeting OF several OF the school
men OF the county held In this city
several matters pertaining to needed 4
school legislation was discussed and
certain recommendations will bs
made to the legislature. "A
Unanimous action was taken on the
following matters:
The proposed changes In the law
for the certiflcation Of teachers was
read and the changes approved, ex:
cept that the high school cert icatel
be granted to college graduates upon
the completion Of ten hours OF educa.5
tionai work instead Of twenty hours,
az provided In the draft Of the pro:
posed law.
In view OF the shortage OF funds IN
this county and in other count les II rs
recommended that the present levy
limits of twelve and one:half cents
bred dollars valuation in the bull ding
fund and the teachers fund be In
creased to twenty cents and thirty
five cents. respectively.
II was further recommended that
the compulsory attendance law be so
amended as to make attendance COM
pulsory for the full term Of school,
and not for SIX months only as at
present, and that attendance he made
compulsory up 10 the sixteenth birth;
day. when children have not COM
pleted the work Of the first four grades
OF the common schols as outlined in
the manual OF the course OF study.
It was agreed that boards of educa:i
( ton should have the authority to es-
tabiish high schools wherever justi-s
fled and warranted by the needs of
their districts, without regard to the
size OF the common schools where the
high schools are to be ablished, and
that districts which do not support
high schools should pay the tuition of
pupils from such districts who at
tend high schools in other districts. {.
n AS the present amount Of state aid
to the high schools Is small, owing to
the establishment of many new high
schools, 1t was agreed that such aid
should be materially increased. 81
It was the sense Of the meeting
that teachers who have given long
service to the state should be allowed
pension to provide for their main;
tainance IN old age.
The Recommendation Of the State
Child Labor Committee in regard to
s the Child Labor Law amendments
were endorsed.
The bills introduced In the legisla-
ture to provide for the payment OF a

The Telegram has many cases Of
poverty and restitution brought to
its attention, and it would suggest
that some organized effort to take
care of the poor should be made. At
this time there are two women, sis
tiers, living on Prospect street, both
of whom were deserted by their hus-
bands. and both have babes only
two or three weeks old. Money, food
or clothing would be appreciated.
Mrs. G.. H. Padrick, Mrs. E. NJ.
Smailes. or Mrs. Dale can furnish in
formation about these needy per-
sons. Then. there is the AGREE fam
lily, which is badly in need. and
which should not be allowed to suf-
fer. There are also other needy
persons, and there is, as stated, cry
ing necessity for some organization
to meet this distress. Won't some
kindly disposed persons take up this
work? The Telegram will gladly
help, but it can't do it all.

Amherst college in Massachusetts
was the first of the higher lnstltu-
tions in this country-nearly nfty
wears ago-to make physical exef-

riculum. Absence from the daily
class drill on the gymnasium floor
was penalized as absence from lee
ture or recitation Each class was
reouired to report at a fixed hour
four davs each week, for exercise IN
marching and light dum-beli WORK.
Exercise on the heavy apparatus was
encouraged but not required. The
result was a marked 'betterment OF
health conditions during the course,
the seniors showing less than one
quarter of the sickness observed
among the freshman classes.
The result of this systematic
training has demonstrated its value
to the individual student and mas
emphasized in graduate life the IN

EXERCISE AND HEALTH

ISana mems in sane corpore.
Which means-1Whats the use OF
pushing the cultivation OF the mlhd
and neglecting the cultivation OF the
body?
And this suggests the very peril
nent query: Should not physlcai
training be made a requirement IN
our system of education, from the
Kindergarten to the university?
The present time of beginning the
school year in Florida is APPROX
rate to consider what is the rela-
ton of health to effective mental
training. In large measue the ques-
ton is solved by the conditions that
exist in rural communities, where
school children usually have fixed
duties about the home that require
sufficient regular exercise for pupils
in city schools, with q tendency to
greater concentration on school
work and with consequent bad re-
suits.
A few Florida cities, notably
Jacksonville, have in recent years
given much time and some money
, toward utilizing the public parks,
as playgrounds. Under the direc-
ton of paid expert supervisor, ply
steal exercise and competitive games
have been made attractive to child
rem. The investment has brought
splendid results and the system
should be adopted by every munich
pality. But the participation III

has reached only small percent
age of the children in any of these
cities.
How can it's benefits be extended
to all of them?
More than ever in the past, the
duties of the teacher are becoming
complex His responsibilities IL
clude not only suitable mental
training but watchfulness over the
physical condition and capacity of
every pupil. He is to blame if the
child victim of hookworm or the
mental deficient is pushed beyond
his mental limits or punished Tor
failing to grasp what is beyond him.
The teacher must, or should, detect
the presence of conta ious disease
and in suspicious cases, call for med
! zeal examination. The recently
adopted plan for an annual medical
examination of every school child in
the state should relieve the teacher
of this duty, by placing it in the

FLORIDA LEADS CALIFORNIA
IN IMPORTANT RESPECTS

Mr.. F. f. Baxter, manager OF the
Florida Good Homes Co., has return
ed from an extensive trip through
the west and middle west, where he
has been to investigate the condi-
tions of that section. When asked
by a reporter for the Reporter-Star
as to how it compared with Florida
and Orange county, Mr.. Baxter had
the following to say:
81 was never so thoroughly con-
WINGED that this section is long
way ahead of California in so many
respects as I am today. Being In
the realty business | was more than
particular in my investigations, than
would have been had | been on
mere pleasure trip. | was principally
struck with the citrus industry OF
that section of which he hear so
much. 7 wish to say right here,
that Florida can well lead Califor-
mia, first in the cost of production.
and second in its groves and thirdly
in it's marketing.
Good citrus land costs from five to
six hundred dollars an acre. Most of
it has to be irrigated which runs M
very high. Water is becoming a big
factor in the irrigation there and Is
constantly increasing in price. They
have what is called the first, second
and third water rights. From the
14th day of July to the 18th of Sep
TENDER | did not see a drop of rain,
and then it hardly wet you. so you
may know that they need it badly at
times.
| well, when the first water rights
hare using the water the second and
third ones have to wait, as but few
can use it at the same time. The
third man is in a very bad condition
by the time it gets to him. So is the
first man by the time it gets back.
Wherever there is no irrigation
whether in the valleys or on the va
cant lots vegetation looks dry and
in a dying condition. | saw more
dead wood in the average twent,
acre grove there than you will find
here. was told that last winer was
severe one. which accounted for
there being so much of it, but even
at that they have to prune extensive
lily every year.
| 1--WE hear much about their great
,exchange and marketing process, but
Florida leads them here as well. In
the first place the exchange is not a
cooperative one. There are few
men at the head of it who are reap
ing all the benefit, while ours Is
purely cooperative. Then it costs
more to get their products to the
eastern markets than it does ours
"a was surprised to see so many
cutting down their citrus groves and
planting English walnuts, other:
l,uIaning the nuts between the rows
with the intention of taking out thu
citrus trees when the nuts come into
bearing.

Judge Reaves, recently appointed
to the circuit iudgeship in the pinel-
las district. is making an excellent
beginning as shown by his rulings
thus far in the Mendenhall case. A
technical mind on lie bench is not
good for the administration of JUS
tice, for no matter how honest and
learned such a judge NAV be. his
inevitable tendency is to lose sight
OF the soul and spirit of the law Ia
his rigid and conscientious conform
ity to its letter. Judge Reaves has
clear and accurate idea in his
mind that he is sitting in the Men
denhall case to see the defendant
tried for murder on the actual facts
in that case, and that justice will
be impossible unless that plain and
simple program is carried out. He
is permitting no technical ohstruc-
ton to stand in the way, and evil
IDENTIFY he wants to get through with
the preliminaries without denying
the defendant any of his legal rights
and go at the proper business of the
court, which is to try the case on its
merits. The Orlando Reporter star
says of him:
Judge ReaveS has made good
beginning as a level headed and coli
scientious jurist. He is just that
kind of man. He impressed all dur
ing his service as legislator with his
honesty, high purposes and becoming
dignity He is every inch a judge,
and we hope to see him round out
long and useful career on the
bench"

Old "Savoyard," the wise observ-
er and newspaper correspondent UP
in Washington, has been listening to
all this talk about preparedness
for war from Roosevelt and the jim
go press, and makes these few home
ly observations Astounding in good
sense:
After the war is over will be
plenty of time for us to prepare for
the next one. All Europe will be a
bankrupt and cripple, and all man
kind will have enough of war for 4
generation. This war is going to be
fought to a finish. One side or the
other will be completely FRUSTRATED
before there is any peace. Why not
wait and see what we shall see: II
the nations are not then tired o!
war, and set about preparation for
another war, then it will be time
enough to act, then we will have ar
immense advantage In our wealth, In
our commerce, in our industries, AM
we can set about preparation witt
any of them. Don't get excited
Keep your shirt on. :"

And now come the attorners in
the Mendenhall case, after having
protested against the indictment as
insufficient and the presiding judge
as having no legal right TO sit in
the trial. and insist that the sheriff
is prejudiced against the defendant
and is carrying his prejudices into
his official duties. Since the crime
was committed newspaper readers
have been impressed with the fact
that that sheriff was a very active
and efficient officer and was setting
a good example to all other sheriffs
in the fine zeal and energy he mani
tested in trying to discover the per-
petrators of the crime That is what
a sheriff is for, and ii would be i'm
possible for him to sustain effective
official relations to the case IL he
didn't have the prejudices of his
honest convictions. The human
mind is built that way and sheriffs'
minds are no exceptions. A Jealous
sheriff, even though his zeal should
take him at times little across the
line of rigid officialism, is a better
sheriff than one of the indifferent
kind who is content with mere for
NAL discharge of his duty. Our no
ton of good sheriff is one who
hates crime with all the strength oi
his soul and is always live wire in
the good work of seeing that Grim
inals are captured and punished
And this attitude is perfectly com
patible with the just and impartial
discharge OF his duties-in fact, II
is necessary to 1t.
