Dr. Eaton Likens Citizens to Romans

ancient Rome shortly before its fall, in
his Thanksgiving sermon yesterday.

pastor said, "some families Of wealth,
possessed of some refinement and at
least a ray OF intelligence. who never
allow the war TO be discussed IN their
homes because II is an unpleasant sub,

that the dandies IN ancient Rome never
cared to discuss the fact that there
were blue-eyed giants Of the North.
But IL was these giants that finally
cverrsn Rome. II is possible that, like
them, we may yet be overrun our
selves"
The destruction Of Sodom and Gomor-
rah is also a tale that has no appeal 70

these workers had taken courses bear
ing directly upon their trades. The
survey committee recommended the
organization of evening and part
time schools and courses for boys and
men already employed, and outlined
general and industrial courses for the
trades which the survey had covered.
The survey committee were of the
opinion that the white women and
girls of Richmond who were employed
In manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits were engaged IN operations
which can be learned more quickly in
the factory than in the school, largely
because the amount of technical train
ing and trade information necessary
is too meager TO warrant the expen-
diture of public money for equipment
and instruction. There was need of
department store and salesmanship
training through part-time and con-
tinuation classes. Steps were taken
to meet this need before the compile
ton Of the survey. The conclusion
was reached that there was no need or
possibility of a girls trade school for
Richmond. A demand, however, was
found to exist for courses of training
in the practical arts as a part Of the
general education Of, girls over thir-
teen years of age. instruction in
home economics, except in specialized
courses planned and followed for the
purpose of earning livelihood, In
the committees opinion, should not
be regarded as vocational education
for wage earning, but as a valuable
and necessary part of general educa-
ton to which every girl Is entitled as
a part of her adequate preparation
for living.

of this position have brought him in
touch with a larger number of people
of West Florida and his courtesy and
efficiency exercised in the discharge
of the work of this office have made
him popular and well-lnown through
out the state.
Mr.. Yon says that whoever votes
for him for delegate can count on

That he was a strong supporter of
President Wilson in the beginning of

Mr.. Yon is an ambitious young

The election of Mr.. Yon would be an
honor deserved both by reason of his
splendid record for integrity and
straight forward conduct at all times
as well as because of his long and
useful service to the Democratic party
in his state. Tallahassee would be
none the less proud of Mr.. Yon's

his administration of the trust i'm
posed in him would make for him a

might boast.
