LITTLE NOTES OF PATRIOTISM
Contributed.


The other day some Lakeland citi-
zens noticed little demonstration Of
patriotism, when some little girls
who were about to enter the City
Hospital saluted the flag.
Here We may take the pleasure o.
stating that this beautiful flag was
a gift to the hospital from DR.. Wat
son who is now with the colors.
Then later these same girls sang
"The Star Spangled Banner" from
the roof of the hospital. These
things do not amount to so much in
times of peace, but in times of war
they make our hearts thrill within
us

vades our public schools. The love for
law and order is being stimulate !

is so important, so valuable, so
necessary that we should es-
tablish a sufficient number of
state normal schools to provide
every rural school with a pro-
fcssionally trained teacher,
even if we have to take the ne
ICessary money to do this from
the state common school fund.
In the end this would be a bet
ter policy of public economy
than our present short-sighted
policy which is expensive and
which sorely neglects our rural
schools in the matter of pro-
perly trained teachers. This is
evident from the fact that
there are over 100000 juvenile
teachers teaching in the rural
schools of our country at this
time with less than high school
education and no professional
training"
The only way to have better
rural schools is to have better
rural teachers. For as is the
teacher, so is the school. The
only way to have better teach
ers is to provide better oppor-
tunitieS for their preparation,
required by law all who aspire
to teach to make due prepara-
ton, and then pay the teacher
a salary commensurate with
the service rendered.

DIR. CLAXTON'S VIEW

"a ROBABLY the most ad-
ID vanced opinion yet advo-
q Gated by any man of
prominence today in fa-
vor Of professionally trained
teachers and state normal
schools is that of the United
States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, DR.. P. P. Claxton. Briefly
state it is this:
"A six months term Of
IT ho0l with a professionally
trained teacher at a salary Of
800 per month is a longer
term and a better and cheaper
school than a twelve months
term with a teacher of poor
scholarship and no profession
al training at salary Of $50
reT month. We need enough
1ate normal schools to provide
a professionally trained teach
or for every rural school in
America. The people Of the
entire state are taxed to sup
port the state normal school or
schools and are, therefore, en-
titled to their Just share of the
teachers who fit themselves
Tor their work in these schools.
And yet a very small number
cf normal school graduates
ever teach in the rural schools
because the city and town
schools secure these protest.
onaNy trained teachers. The
uemand for professionally
trained teachers in city and
town schools is greater than
the present number Of our
state normal schools can sup
ply under their present equip
ment We, therefore. need a
greatly increased number of
normal schools or else a great
increase in buildings facility.

normal schools if our rural peo-
-pie are to receive fair treat
