residents of Nassau boulevard have
announced their intention of laying
out a course there. The Cherry
Valley club has been organized to
take over the famous Salisbury
course near Garden City and turn it
into a private course Meanwhile, the
Garden City company has decided to
lay out two public courses on Hemp
stead Plains in response to the de-
mands of those who desire a public
course in this neighborhood An
even more ambitious enterprise is re-
ported from Massapequa, where it is
proposed to lay out four 1S-hole
courses, to accommodate the grow
ing number of players who have no
club facilities.
ITO some extent golf must always
remain the rich mans game. A
GOOD deal of capital must be invested
in the purchase Of land while the
creation and upkeep of a gold course
costs far more than most people sup

tools are expensive, balls and caddy

We note that deputy sheriff from
Palm Beach county, who has just Wis
tied the State Reform school at Ma
rianna, is warm in the praise of the
present management of that institu-
ton. He states that there has been
much Improvement in the grounds
and buildings, and that the inmates
seem to be having excellent care.
This will be gratifying information
to the people of Florida, who were
inexpressibly shocked at the awful
tragedy in which this institution
figured some time ago, and at the
conditions that the investigation in
one institution in the State that
should have the attention Of people
interesed in the betterment of hui
manity, it Is this school, the proper
conduct of which should make good
and useful men out of boys who
might otherwise become menace to
society. Many of the boys--most Of
them, indeed-consigned to this
school are not naturally bad or
vicious, and are not really RESPONSE
BILE for the misfortune or misconduct
which brought them there. Properly
handled, they will in most cases be-
come good citizens. honest, useful
and law abiding. Given the treat
ment too frequent in such institu-
tions, they will be graduated hard
ened criminals. worse than if left to
grow up as they might There are
SO white and 1917 colored boys in tine
school at this time-enough to make
it worth while for the people OF
Florida to take proper interest in
the way it is conducted
