upon the community. This, he said,
was accepted by the visitor as best
indicating the intelligence and pro-
gress of the community. The new
buildings at Moline, Oak Grove, Fer
ry Pass, Myrtle Grove, Pineville, and
Fine Forest were additional proof of
our progress in school building.
However, Mr.. Sheriff. said, the real
index to the intelligence of COM
munlty is not the mere building, but
the way in which the subjects taught
are made to meet the needs of the
community, and he mentioned the in
PRODUCTION of the Commercial Course,
the Domestic Science and later Do
nestle Art in the Pensacola High
School The experiments at the Rob
erts School, which might reasonably
be expected to develop into an agri-
cultural High School and the more
recent introduction Of Domestic
Science IN the Colored High School.
These things, Mr.. Sheriff. said, in
dicated improvement in the more es-
sential matter of adapting the school
to the need Of the community.
And the pupils were not overlook
ed. Mr.. Sheriff. told the big boys
and the big girls of the Joseph B.
Jockey school that they were now
making customs and sentiments In
the new school that would become
the fixed customs of future genera
tons of students. He told the older
boys to dump" the first fellow
caught marking walls or marring the
buildings.
The formation of Parents-Teach-
ers Association was urged and Tues
day next at three o'clock in the after
noon is the time and date set for the
organization. Every father and
mother in the district served by the
Joseph B. Jockey School was urged
to join.
The address closed with a few
words of appreciation for Mr.. W. D.
Willis, the architect; Messrs. s.
F. Fulghum & Company, the builders
and all the carpenters and masons
and artisans who by their honest
labor have made it possible for Pen
sacola to have such a splendid school.
