,inarians in the South, Supt. Chas. M.
Jones. who is now entering on his
seventh years work in this city. un-
der his able management the Lake
land schools have reached a high
stage Of efficiency and in them any
boy or girl may receive a training
that will admirably equip them for
the responsibilities of life.
Trained Teachers Required
Teachers are not permitted to teach
in the public schools of Lakeland
without having completed their high

with experience.
Vocational Work In the School
A new bond issue is soon to be
made for the purpose of finishing the
basement of the Lake Morton School
and equipping the laboratory, library
and domestic science department
equal to any in the State. There art
many pupils who never 60 beyond tn

reason vocational work is being
placed in the school so that pupils
may be able to meet many of tn
problems of life with only their higl
school training.
Hiah School Has Its Own Orchestr
A first class orchestra has beel
added to the high school which is ur
der the able management Of Mr.. Ker
meth Warren. This band plays TO

entertainments of the school. Their

There will be about 200 or more in
the two companies. These compan.

not interfere with their school duties.

Military Training In the School

Lakeland public school long before
the year comes to a close.
Military Training In the School
Last but not least, military train
ing has found place in the school.
If our democracy is to endure, it must
recognize as it's primary standard OF
duty the obligation of the individual
man and woman to sacrifice them
selves for the whole community in
time of need.
The necessary elementary instruc-
ton that every young American
should have in order to be prepared
when the time comes to play his part
in the national defense can be given
in the public schools. Moreover this
can be done in such a way as to en-
list parental approval, because OF the
manifest improvement of the pupils
in physique, department, and obedi-
ence to authority at home as we'll as
at schools. The object of military
drill is to inculcate high ideals and
correct views on the duties fthe cit
| izen to the State and above all to the
cause of democracy. This training is
so given as to encourage initiative
individuality, to correct defects and
