finc one and are imbued with the
idea OF making splendid corps of
women for this and other States in
the future: while the corps of teach
ers also largely seem to be DESTROYS
OF doing their duty. | would recon-
mend especially the aid of the can
ming club work and the short domes-
tic courses of this scho oil.
The Florida Agricultural and Me.
chanical COLLEGE for Negroes, located
at Tallahassee. seems to be doing
good work and are fortunate in hav-
Ing such head as Prof. N. B. Young
VINO wishes to develop his race in
every possible way.
BOYS AND GIRLS INDUSTRIAL.
SCHOOL NOT FOR THE GRIM
NAL CLASS. BUT FOR THE
STUDENTS OF FLORIDA
rms is a question very close /,
the writer's heart, and it would be
desirable for the Legislature to To-
cate one each of these schools soma
where within our State where the
young. after finishing their high
school training. can go and learn
no" 10 become self-sustaining bv
having the hand trained as well as
the brain. 1t is matter of fact that
we could appropriate an amount su,
fcient to make it attractive for orc
communities to make bids by lands
and donations for these two institu-
tions that We could soon have them
with splendid hines and filled with
hundreds of boys and girls se.kipy
10 learn their life work. Kissimmae
has made a bid already for the estab-
iishment OF the Boys Industrial
School, and | am sure that MANY
communities would be glad to enter
such a contest, giving great amonnto
OF land and money to have those
schools established in their confine.
ELECTION LAWS.
Our laws concerning elac,;ons
should be changed. The Bryan Pri-
mary law has proven not to be the
success that many hoped that il

second choice vote that we shouyd
have the first choice vote alona -,
then a second primary on the second
tuesday following without any ex-

OF the two highest candidates. tho

me people of Florida will never
agree to let the second choice nri-

INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND
RECALL
Our State has reached point in
its history where it would seem tina,
these three laws should be incorpor
ated into the Constitution. the 70.
cent election in Florida showing CON
clnsively that there should be a 70
call of the decisions of our courts
The initiative should be given its
Just place in our law. The referen-

fully by your body and also be made
a part of our law 1t is a positive fac.

pie. and the officers elected and an.

these laws be passed. but also ,h,,
