ALABAMA ANNEXATION

Editor Pensacola journal.
/ love West Florida and want to
see her grow in prosperity, influence
and border line.
Some years ago the question of an
nexation to Alabama was agitated
and was dropped because some of our
people did not like the climate of
Alabama, (too dry, perhaps) but,
nevertheless a great many people
throughout the country learned
that agitation that there was a sec
ton of the state of Florida different
from the East Coast, veritable en-
pire of virgin timber, good soil, splen-
did climate, pure water, merely wait
ing the magic hands or more folks
to blossom like rose.
A few years later, the Pensacola
Chamber of Commerce started cam
paign for the division of the state of
Florida and carving out the state Of
West Florida, something about the
size of Massachusetts and New Jer
sey combined. The state was not di-
vided, but South Florida woke up and
proclaimed her willingness, and the
people of the United States looked at
the map and found where West Flor
ida was.
At last I believe the solution has
been discovered. In the old histories
we find that under British rule, West
Florida extended up to the Sind
parallel of latitude. There is a
great deal of difference between
southern agricultural Alabama and
northern mining Alabama. l would
suggest that the old northern bound

THE CIVIC STANDARD.

vocational committee of the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce, and it is one that
might be the watchword everywhere. The
Philadelphia committee is gathering ma
ter1al which will be Incorporated in pam
phlet form and distributed in order that
every man, woman and child may be bet

cities, too, are beginning to introduce
courses of study into their schools, giving
an insight into the industrial life and his
toric development of those places
Civic pride is becoming stronger factor
every day and its development is recog-
nized to be of great Importance A score
of years ago, there were not six large edu-
cational institutions in the United States
that provided independent instruction in
municipal government. Either the subject
was ignored or it was Jumped in with some
topic of political science. BIT beginning
with 1900, new interest entered civil life.
Undertaking literature, false at times, half
baked generally, and always crude, at least
directed the thoughts of men into municipal
channels. BY 1908, forty-six educational
institutions offered independents instruc-
ton in municipal government; a number
that increased in 1912 to sixty-four, and in
1916 to ninetyfive.
For the public schools, civics in all its
branches is most important study. The
cost of government is increasing all the
time, and the problems of social uplift, ny-
giene, employment. educational and moral
ity-not to mention such workadav mat
ters as drainage, street cleaning. police and
fire protection-are becoming Of such inn
portance as to require the attention of skill
ed experts-men too, who understand in
dustrial conditions and are acquainted with
the development of their city and are sin
cerely anxious for its advancement AS we
all know, people get as good government
as they deserve; by interesting themselves
in civic problems they will set higher
standard, and the place to begin is in the
primary schools.

THE EXAMPLE OF THE NAVY.


The death rate of the American navy last
year was 448 per 1000; whereas mortality
statistics tell us that had these same young
men remained ashore, in city or farm, eight
out of every thousand would have died
from the ordinary hazards of disease and
injury during what should be the healthiest
years of their lives
Some allowance must of course be made
for the fact that the navy is made UP of
selected men, but that is not the full expla-
nation of hundred per cent better health
rate; due credit must be given the superior
sanitation-the ubiquitous fly, the disease
bearing rat, the infected mosquito the I'M
