WOMEN ON SOUTHERN
=. SCHOOL BOARDS

The Waycross (Ga.) Journal. Her
aid reporting the appointment of
Mrs. E. D. Thames, of Greenville,
Ala. to membership on the school
boara. says the appointment is an
innovation but that the state super
intendent of education, William F.
Feagin, found authority in the
newly-enacted law which gives wom-
en- the right to serve on county and
city boards of education. "Other
Southern states" says the Journal
Herald, doubtless have women of
the superior type recognized by Ala
bama and it is serious less to the
children of the South that their edu-
cation does not include the intelli-
gent participation and direction of
women"
AM in comment upon these obser-
vations the Savannah Press says:
There should be one or more wom-
en- or every school board of any size
in the state. We should like to see
a woman a member of the Chatham
county board of education and we
expect to Sc her there some day"
And when you come to think about
it. isn't it eminently ridiculous that
schon. board officers should not be
largely held by women?
Understanding children and home
conditions to degree that men can
never attain, knowing the Necessary
qualifications of a good teacher. and
the close relationship between the
home and the schools, capable
woman makes a better member of a
school board than the average man:
and politician tactics are frequently
eliminated from school MANAGEMENT
when women, giving their first
thought to the welfare and needs of
the children. direct the expenditure
of school money and attend to the
of teachers.
The laws of Florida should be
amended by the next legislature to
make legal the election of women to

THIS FUNNY WORLD

In an idle moment. all unthinking
of the mornentousness of the act,
needlessly, unconscious of the world
stirring event that was taking place,
even as Columbus when he stepped
upon the shore of the New World,
we wrote that General Gilchrist did
not think the chances of Perry Wall
in the Senatorial race worth three
tin dimes"
Then the wheels of fate began to
revolve. The Lakeland Telegram
copied the expression, placing quota
tion marks correctly for that portion
of the sentence-but it is never safe
to quote less than whole sentence.
The Tampa Tribune happened to
note the quotation, inferred that
they were Gilchrist's own words, and
berated the General soundly for ap-
parent levity and disrespect for Per-
ry Wall.
OF course We had to write the Tri-
bune, in justice to Mr.. Gilchrist, and
correct the impression we were part
ly responsible for. Naturally Mr..
Gilchrist also wrote, denying the ac-
cusation. Way up in north Florida
the Macclenny Standard say our
editorial, rehashed a part of it,
changed the expression to two thin

attention of the Tampa Times, that
paper likewise landed upon General
Gilchrist with its slapjack other
papers took up the hue and cry. and

ing.
There were phrases well-turned
and polished. statements of much

They passed unnoticed. The one
frivolous bit of slang leaped into the
limelight and rolled over the state.
All unwittingly we found ourselves
the parent of a catchy campaign
phrase that will probably be flung
even at presidential candidates. OF
course il is the fault of our estima-
BILE but temperamental Tampa con-
tempoiaries in failing to consult
original sources and going of half

quotation. AS for senial, sensible,

not have cared even if General Gill
christ had used the expression. and
as for General Gilchrist, he worries
little about whether any of his cs
paign documents bulge with dignity
or not.

BRYAN STILL HAS THE
MAGNETISM AND POWER

Hon. VIM. J. Bryan, who is leetur-
ing in number of towns in Florida,
was the attraction at the Temple
last night.
1t has now been twenty years since
! Mr.. bryan became 4 national figure,
and since which time no man other
than Henry Clay. perhaps. has occu-
pied SC conspicuous a place in ma
tional affairs.
Mr.. Bryan has not only focused
upon himself a great deal of atten-
tion of his own countrymen, but his
influence mas been felt around the
world.
| 1t has been said that most any
man can achieve greatness in vic
tory. but the man who can be great
in defeat is a man, indeed.
Under this definition of greatness
MIR. Bryan is in position to measure
up to the full stature of the world
The subject of NJ. Bryan's speech
was The War in Europe, and Its
Lesson for Us"
This is the same speech that Mr.
Bryan made at Johnstown, Penn,
and which this paper has referred to
on several occasions. The portion
that appealed to us most favorably,
and which we think worthy of en-
phasizing is the following:
Il have made calculation TO see
how much hard road could be built
for five billions-the five hundred
millich increase would aggregate
that sum in ten years. From infor-
nation furnished by the department
of agriculture i find that the aver
age cost of macadam road 16 feet
wide and 6 inches thick is a little
over $4,000 a mile. That there may
be no doubt about the estimate be-
ing sufficient, let us arbitrarily raise
it to S8,333.33 1-3 per mile, which
will enable us to make the computa-
ton iii round numbers. If we count
the distance from ocean TO ocean at
3 .00A miles and the distance from
north to south al l 200 miles, we can
with five billions of dollars build
enough: macadam road. three miles
for s25,0000. to make 100 highways
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. put
ting them twelve miles apart, and
highways north and south twelve
miles apart, so that when the five
billions were spent the country
would be gridironed with macadam
roads twelve miles apart east and
west, north and south, and no
American citizen would then live
more than six miles from a hard
road that would take him anywhere
in the United States
This address in every part was as
strong and forceful as this extract,
md many Of the well rounded |
'entences received generous and fit
ing applause, and no part of it !
greater cheering than his graceful
ribute to the present occupant of
he White House.
