Prof. w. S. Cawthon, formerly
principal of the Pensacola High
school, then professor of mathemat
les at the University of Florida, but
now state high school Inspector,
stopped off in his tour of inspection
of state high schools at Pensacola
yesterday.
Prof. Cawthon spoke before the
High school students yesterday noon
and was given a hearty welcome. In
his speech, Mr.. Cawthon reported that
in his investigation he had found the
conditions of the high school excel
lent, and complimented the students
on the good school spirit shown in
their studies, but condemned the pres
ent building as altogether inadequate
to meet the needs of 351 boys and
girls.
The speaker gave a warning that
the Southern commission of accred-
tied schools would certainly not ac-
credit the local school next year if it
knew just how far Pensacola was be-
low par in the matter of an adequate
school building.
That the students appreciated Mr..
Cawthon's analysis of the needs of
our high school was made evident by
the cheer and applause given by them
to the speaker at the conclusion of his
| remarks.
Friends of the high school are very
! much interested in the movement fol-
a high school building, and at the
last meeting of the Parent-Teachers
association the following committee
was appointed to investigate and re.
port on the subject of new high
school building: Mr.. R. Pope Reese
Rev. John H. Brown, Mr.. w. P. Gun
bingham, Mrs. Frank L. Mayes, Mrs
Dave Edrehi, Mrs. C. S. Bonocker.

STATE SECRETARY
OF YIN. GA. HERE

F. M. NJ. Richardson, state secre-
tary of the Y. M. C. A., committee of
Alabama and West Florida, was in
the city Monday. This is Mr.. Richard
sons first visit to Pensacola and he
was splendidly impressed with the
city and its opportunities. Mr.. Rich
ardson has recently come from the
Canal Zone and the Mexican border
work.
He states that the men and officers
are unanimous in their praise of the
Y. M. c. A, which is the only organi-
zation giving the men an environment
for clean living. All of the denomi-
nations are cooperating and with
tons of letter heads, gallons of ink
and thousands of pens the boys are
writing home. Mr.. Richardson claims
that the Y. M. c. A. is the one place
where officers and men meet as citi-
zens without distinction.
A number of corporations in the
Alabama jurisdiction are paying the
whole expense of operating separate
buildings on their premises for negro
labor and white labor and claim that
it has paid them to do so, in the eff.
cheney of the men, more labor pei
month, better health and home life
One concern claimed that in a single
year the attention to the welfare Of
the men under Y. M. C. A. auspice:
had increased the output Is per cent
and increased the salaries of the mer
correspondingly.

STATE INSPECT ORIGEO. W. JOHNSTON
ADVISES NEW HIGH PASSES AWAY At HIS
SCHOOL BUILDING HOME IN PENSACOLA

Captain George W. Johnston, fol-
lowing an illness covering a period
of many weeks, passed away at 1:15
o'clock yesterday afternoon, at his
residence, No. 1857 Lakeview avenue.
His wife and two sons survive him,
and they were at his bedside.
Deceased, coming to Pensacola a
good many years ago, made his home
in the city he loved, and was inter
ested in many lines of endeavor, at
the time of his death holding the vice
presidency Of the Banking, Savings
and Trust Company. He also head
ed the G. A. r., and was a consist
ent member of the Presbyterian
Church, in the affairs of which he
always evinced the greatest interest.
Capt. johnson was the original pro-
moter of Bayview, and it was largely
due to his influence that this pleasure
resort was developed to the state of
efficiency which it reached quite re-
Gently.
The funeral services will be held
in his adopted city, and the remains
will be shipped to Indianapolis, Ind.
Wednesday. Upon arrival Of the
body, and his devoted family there
the interment will take place.
He was born in Belfast, Ireland
coming to this country when quite
young, serving four years with the
"Boys in Blue" in the Civil War, later
engaging in business, and his life
was one of marked activity.
indianapolis, Ind, claimed him a!
its resident prior to his coming tt
Florida, and in that city he was prom
| inently identified with many business
interests, notably the Citizens Ma
| tional Bank, of which he was cashier
and the large grain exporting firm
of J. A. Classen G. Co., of which h
was treasurer.
A man with winning personality
he made friends. A man with rar
business Judgment, he held the conf
dence of his associates. A dreamer
but with the faculty of making hi
dreams materialiZe.
Largely to his energy is to b
