TRUE DEVELOP MENT.
SHOWN IN SCARCITY
SMALL DWELLINGS

The scarcity of modern bungalows
in Pensacola has recently made itself
felt greater than in any past years,
according to rental agents in the city,
and it is stated to be almost impos-
sible to find small houses in desira-
Bile locations.
The fact that its not the tourist
trade which is causing the scarcity,
but actual growth and expansion of
the city, is considered q most crafty
ing proof of development. Rental
agents state that the growth is due,
in a large measure, to the develop
ment of the aeronautic station, and
the consequent coming to Pensacola
of scores of expert mechanics
Other building operations and the
opening of new businesses is also
considered as a large factor in the
development. The only difficulty, ac-
cording to rental agents, is the sup
plying the demand which is being
made now, and to care for the future
needs.
The fact that real estate values
are not as high as they were year
or SO ago, causes the agents to urge
the buying of property and building
small homes.

REPORT GIVES VALUE
OF SOCIAL STUDIES
IN TH[HIGH SCHOOLS

How history, civics and kindred
subjects in the high school may be
made to meet the requirements Of
present day citizenship and the needs
Of boys and girls as growing citizens

les in secondary education just pub
Iished as a bulletin of the United
States Bureau of Education OF the
department of the interior.
This report is the first to appear
Of the final reports of the commits
sion on the Reorganization Of sec-
ondary education, which was appoint
ed in 1912 by the National Education
al Association. The commission, or
ganized in is committees, which In
clude in their membership more than
200 superintendent, principals and
teachers representing nearly all the
states Of the Union, has been at work
continuously since its appointment.
The report on social studies COM
prises a six-year program, embracing
the work of the seventh and eighth
grades and that of the present four
year high school.
While the civic educational value to
all the social studies (such as his
tory, government, economics and ge-
ography) is kept in the foreground
Of the report, especial emphasis il
given to organized civics instruction
of the community civics" type, in
the eighth and nine years. The fact
il emphasized, however, that the pu-
pill is 3 member not only of local
community, but also Of national
community. cit would be inexpressibly
unfortunate if the study of local com
munity life and relations should sup
plant study Of national life and ma
tional civic relations. Two aspects Of
civic life should clearly supplement
each other. Questions of health, Of
education, of industry can no longer
be considered in their local bearings
alone, but must be dealt with in tn.
