DICKINSON NORMAL TO
GET LARGEST AMOUNT

The requests by the heads of the
eight educational institutions under
the direction of the state board Of
regents for new buildings, improve
ments and repairs, remodeling and
equipment for the coming biennium
reached a grand to tai of $1,22S,00O.
These items may be recommended
by the state board OF regents to the
budget committee at about 1891 900.
This 1891 900 can be still further d.
vided to provide that about 100000
become available in i1917-191S and
$43l 900 in 191S-1919.
-. Need More For Building
The unusual demands by the insti-
tutional heads OH the legislature for
new buildings and other matters OF
that character are due to the fact that
only very small appropriations have
been made for building purposes at
any of the educational institutions
during the last six or eight years.
This was, in turn, due to the use OF
the veto power by Governor Burke
and the economical methods practiced
by the last three legislative bodies,
and also to the further fact that the
needs of the charitable and penal in
stitutions during that period seemed
more imperative than those OF the
educational institutions.

Or of the plaintiff in the case Of the
county of Stark against T. F. Murtha,
former states attorney, A. F. Mischief,
Del Hughes and F. ROQuette, board, of
county commissioners in 1913 The
county sought to recover $4,794.71
paid by the board of Murtha as re-
suit of a contract entered into with
him in August 1913. s....
In giving his rule, the court stated
that he would not pass final Judgment

judgment which will be passed as
soon as possible. 1t is expected that
briefs will be submitted by both sides
before judgment is rendered. 49, =
The case was the outgrOwth of an
attempt to recover from the bonding
companies the sum of about $4,000
defalcation on the part Of a former
county auditor, together with inter.
est and expense. The bonding com.
panies paid the principal sum with
out much trouble, but refused to pay
the interest and expense of auditing

resigned his office and made propo.

the matter out with the bonding COM

they would give him one-half Of what

noted and courageous editor of jack

has been vigorously supporting MI
Cats, has turned against him ana
gives as his reason that Mr.. Cats, In
a speech made in Morocco Tempie'
Jacksonville, said in effect that the
girl graduates of Florida high schools
did nothing but loaf around the colo
drink stands waiting for men to come
in and treat them to drinks and auto,
mobile rides and that the girls DID not
care whether the men were married
or not In other words, according 10
Williamson, what Mr.. Cats said was
a reflection upon the purity and chas-
ity of Florida high school girls. Is
Mr. Cats guilty or not guilty and VIII
he call Albert Williamson a liar!
This is all for the time being. The
Herald makes no charges against Mr.
Cats, but wishes only to give him an
opportunity to explain or deny some
of the charges that are being made
against him.

! what evidence has he to prove 1t? Is
he not trusting in this matter solely
to unconfirmed rumors and unsubstan-
tiated Newspaper reports? Will he be
candid enough to acknowledge that IT
is upon these rumors and reports that
he re relying?
Seventh. Mr.. Cats acknowledges
that he killed negro in Alabama and
was exonerated by the testimony OF
ten or nineteen other negroes. In one
place, he said nineteen negroes; in
another, ten. Now, will he please
state whether he was acquitted by
Justice of the peace, or by circuit
court jury?
Eighth Mr. Cats is alleged to
have stated that he would whip any
man, who called him liar. A Live
Oak paper says that man>at Jasper
or somewhere in that part Of the state
called Mr.. Cats liar. Did Mr. Cats
whip him?
Ninth. Does Mr.. Cats really be-
lieve the legislature will carry out
his views about the inspection Of con-
vents and porochial schools, the sale
of the patrol boat Roamer and other
radical measures which he advocates?
Does he think that he will have the
sympathy and support of the legisla-
ture in any of these leading policies
which he is advocating? How can he
enforce his policies without the sup
port of the legislature?
Tenth. AS no Catholics are running
for Office in Florida and our Catholic
population is only four in every one
hundred, will Mr.. Cats say whether
he sincerely believes the liberties
of our people and the welfare of this
state are actually threatened or endan-
gered by our Roman Catholic citizens?
Eleventh. Tampa Tribune reports
that, in his Tampa speech, Mr.. Cats
alleged that, in various re-counts OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Knott, neither Farris,
Hudson, Wood nor Cats gained any
votes, but all the gains were for Knott.
Is Mr.. Cats quite sure that this state
ment is correct? Oscar M. Johnson
says in the Jacksonville Metropolis
that Farris gained thirty votes in the
Duval recount and that he gained in
other precincts of the state. The
Herald saw report in some paper in
which all five of the gubernatorial can
didates were shown to have gained
votes in the recount in Nassau county.
Twelfth. The Jasper News, edited
by John M. Caldwell Baptist minis
ter. says that Mr.. Cats in a speech
at Genoa alleged that the Confeder-
ate veterans were lined up solidly
with the whiskey bunch, Catholics and
railroads to elect Mr.. Knott" Did Mr..
Cats say that? If not, will be de-
nounce Brother Caldwell as a liar?
What did Mr.. Cats say about the old |
Confederates, anyhow?
Finally, Albert Williamson, the most

We ran across the following little
poem from the German the other
day, which strikes us as expressive
OF a great truth. A man without
enemies has done little in this world :
always the most clubs are found un-
der the trees that bear the best
fruit. We would not have men say
of us "he has no enemies" for
"He has no enemy, you say;
MY friend your boast is poor.
He who hath mingled in the fray
OF duty that the brave endure
Must have made foes. IL he has mono
Small is the work that he has done
He has hit no traitor on the hip;
Has cast no cup from periured lip;
Has never turned the wrong to right
Has been a coward in the fight"

Paper delivered by Miss Frances

Association, Friday, December ~
The present status OF the kindergar-
ten movement can only be understood
IN the light of its historical develop
inent. Frederick Froebel, the founder
Of the kindergarten, lived at . time
when education was a mere process
CT memOrizing. To sit the stillcst and
remember the most were the disting-
uishing marks of a good scholar, Psy-
thology had not been differentiated
from philosophy and metaphysics. Lit

Gtill less OF the development OF the

sary evil. although at times 1t might,

Of these facts II is astonishing that a
man should conceive the educational
value OF play. because ne had noticed
that in play only is the child wholly
self-active. His idea was so absolute
~ new that he could find no terms in
which to make people understand. He
was misunderstood by all but few
devoted followers. who, realizing the
great import of his message to ednca-
ton, yet but impartially caught his
meaning.
In his effort to make people see his
point of view he tried to crystalize
his theories into such form that his
followers could carry on his work aft

Every part of our practise, no matter
how well established, is being rein
vestigated in the light of the new
psychology and recent child study,
and a revaluation is made. We have
been so ready to accept traditional
things and go on the assumption that
there is no better way, even when our
failures have been the most glazing.
AS experimental schools, in hands
of experts, are springing up all over
the country, so every large center has
its experimental kindergarten. Very
careful records are being kept, and in
a few years there will be a new set
of facts to base d new method upon
which will probably be as revolution
airy as was the kindergarten three
quarters of century ago.
