Escan1bia Superintendent of
Public instruction Makes Report

Of great interest in Pensacola, and
Escambia county, is the biennial re-
port of Superintendent of Public In
struction A. S. Edwards, who has
sent the following to State Superin-
tendent w. N. Sheats:
New School Buildings.
During the past two years there
have been built in Escambia county
ten new buildings with total of -
rooms, costing about $4,000. The
most substantial of these are the Jos,
B Jockey Grammar School, semi
fire proof building of nine rooms, on
the west side of Pensacola, and
costing $4,000, the James NJ. Tate
Industrial School at Gonzalez in pro-
cess of construction will cost when.
completed more than $4,000; the
Molino school, a three room brick
structure; and the Oak Grove school,
containing four rooms and also quilt
of brick. All the others were frame
buildings.
All the above mentioned buildings
were built from the general funds,
with the exception of the James NJ.
Tate Industrial school. The citizens
of that district voted bond issue
of $4,000 which is to be spent IN its
construction. This is the only bond
issue we have in Escambia county.
Pensacola High School,
During the past two years there
has been marked Improvement in the
work of the Pensacola High school.
The enrolment in 1915 was 295,
and in 1915 was 351. This large in
crease in enrolment made necessary
additional teachers, and the faculty
now numbers thirteen regular teach
ers, and three special teachers.
Progress has been made along
many lines.
The domestic science department IS
now definitely established and has
more than demonstrated its value.
Music was added to the curriculum
as regular subject this year.
Quite noteworthy is the develop
ment of the high schol student actlv1-
ties, the formation anc organization
of a dramatic class under special
instructor, and a students orchestra
and participation in athletics by a
greater number of boys and girls
Assisting in the movement to have
the high school better serve the com
munity, mention must be made OF
the Parent Teachers Association
with its widened sphere of influence
and usefulness.
The high school maintains the
standard course of study. Courses
are offered in the departments OF
English, Mathematics, History, Latin
Science, French, Commerce, Domes-
tic Science and Education the in
structors in each department being
specialists in their respective lines.
The high school this year is being
housed in the old grammar school

building, frame structure of four
teen rooms, centrally located for the
entire city. We regret to admit that
the building is not at all suited for
the high school, but we expect spe
cial tax district of Pensacola soon,
and it is the intention of the citizens
to subsequently vote a bond issue
with which to build a home for the
high school as we'll as some other
buildings.
We have four other schools doing
high school work that have not been
mentioned.

tragedy, but still protests his innocence.
He was recently divorced from Miss
Dunn's sister, who is principal of the
school In which Miss Dunn taught and
where she was shot down.
An indictment of misuse of the mails is
lodged against Couch by the federal auth
letters to Miss Dunn. Upon this fact the
police base a theory that jealousy caused
the murder.
They say Mrs. Couch told them her hus-
band had been forcing his attentions on
her sister for several years. Miss Dunn

DAMAGED GOODS"
Famous French Drama, at Bentley

Manager j. J.. Nelson o. the
Bentley Grand announces this week
the coming exhibition of "Damag-
ed Goods, the famous French
medical play which caused such q
furore in New York when first pre-
sented on the speaking stage. This
play was originally produced in the
Royale Theatre in Paris, where it
proved to be one Of the most SEN
sational and astounding productions
Of the decade.
Damaged Goods deals with a
subject conventially confined to
general secrecy, an ugly, repulsive
subject which is peculiarly repug-
nant to the fine and ultra sensitive
nostrils of prudish society. Dam
aged Goods tells q harsh, bitter
story, flaying with extreme dare
ness the evils of society and the
curse the social vice has placed up
on the unborn generations who
must suffer from hereditary af1ict.
ions more deadly than consumr.
ton. Damaged Goods tells the
story of damaged humanity and
during the course of the program
virtually holds a clinic for the
world at large wherein are taught
by example and illustration, the
lessons Of cleanliness and morality.
This is not a play for weaklings
it is not a play for the children and
they will not be Dermitted to at.
tend this performance unless &C.
companied by their parents or
guardians. No apology is offered
for the exhibition of this film and
if anyone is shocked at the per-
Torrance they have no complaint,
for warning is here given that
Damaged Goods is a telling,
uncompromising and un-relentless
demonstration of damaged society
and posterity. Admission Csc.

that as postmaster he will have e.

is likely to get into unless he takes

THE 7Oymaker's Dream"
Bentley Grand Theater, Saturday
EVENING, November 10th.

The Toymakers' Dream, William C..
Cushman's latest offering will be
the attraction at the Bentley Grand
Theater, Saturday, November 10th.
This attraction is conceded to
be one of the best of its kind in
tour this season. Music and song
combined in a delightful way with
an unusually interesting story which
abounds with funny scenes, an ell
aborate production with a complete
scenic equipment, a cast Of we'll
known artists, and a chorus Of pref
ty girls that can really sing and
dance. causes the producers to feel
perfectly safe in guaranteeing THE
Toymakers' Dream as bound to
please.
Unlike most musical comedies
the play is composed of its origin
al music especially written around
the story. The book is said to be in
tensely funny and to possess the
rare charm Of originality, while
the scenes follow one upon another
with a naturalness and unique
humor that captivates the audience.
Few musical plays have embodied
in them SO many delightful melodies
and together with the best singing
and dancing chorus obtainable, the
audienc. is absorbed from the be-
ginning to the end of the perfor-
nance.

IRISH SHOW LOYALTY
TO UNITED STATES
Strongest Chicago Organization De.
clares Effort to Embarrass Allies
Must Not Be Tolerated.

Chicago, Dec. 18.-A declaration
upholding the Irish parliamentary
party and charging that any Irish
man or organization who seeks to
embarrass any of the allied powers
in the conduct of the war is COM
mitting an act of open hostility to
the United States, was adopted to-
night by the Irish Fellowship Club
here, the largest Irish organization
in the city. It was directed to John
E. Redmond and announced the for
warding of $4,000 as the first in
stallment of a fund to be collected
in America in support of the party.
The declaration of principles will
be submitted to all Irish organiza-
tions Of the United States and is ex-
pected ultimately to be forwarded
to Ireland as the concrete express
sion of support of the people of
Irish blood in America of the war.
"There is not a single honest and
genuine Irish-American who does
not stand behind the president and
the American government in its
policy.
"The Irish people have now to
choose between the enmity and the
friendship of the United States and
loyal as we have always been to the
cause of Irish liberty, we must tell
the Irish people that we will not, we
can not retain sympathy for an Ire
land that makes war on our beloved
country and our sons"
