VOTE FOR AMENDMENT.

Not only in Florida, but throughout the coun-
try, the people are facing crisis in educational
affairs.
While the educational system of Florida has
never been of the best, it has met the needs of
the state in the past more adequately than it can
ever meet them again. the present financial
basis. With the increased cost of living induced
by the war have come larger opportunities, in a
financial way and in order to offset this the state
must place its educational institutions on a more
solid financial footing.
The proposed constitutional amendment to be
voted upon at the general election in November
will overcome many of these difficulties, if it
ceives the support of the people.
Commenting editorially on the situation, the
Kissimmee Valley Gazette says
1.-THE Legislature realized that the whole edu-
cational system of Florida is facing the most crit
cal situation in history. Greater demands of
every sort are being forced upon us, demands
that must be met and met today, and yet the
funds that, during previous years, have been
found sufficient for the schools, not only
fully inadequate but absolutely insufficient to
meet the unacceptable demands, that practically
every school board is being forced to go heavily
in debt, and under present laws, may next year
be forced to close many schools, shorten terms,
eliminate progressive features that gave
promise of putting schools par with
those of the most progressive southern states.
The issue that must be met and carried through,
is ratification of this amendment or continue in
different, let disaster come upon us and regret
and bewail in vain the folly that will destroy
school efficiency and make unsafe the democracy
Of our future. The press of Florida, and the able
and patriotic who direct it's editorial poll
cies, surely realize the vitality critical financial
situation, that the officers of the people who have
been charged by the people with the efficient con-
duct of the schools are unable to provide not bet
ter schools, the times demand as the presi-
dent asks, but even good schools as we had
before this great came to America"

VISCOUNT BRYCE GREETS
THE NEW ZION.

Viscount Bryce, who was recently
quoted as disparaging the possibili-
ties Of successfully establishing a
national Jewish homeland in Pales-
tine, was one of the speakers at a
dinner in London, welcoming DR..
Weizmann and the other members
of the Zionist Commission on their
return from Palestine. In his
speech, the distinguished statesman
expressed his keen pleasure over the
efforts that are being made to estab-
lish pleasant relations with the Arab
neighbors of Jewish Palestine. OF
Jewish Palestine he said: 1--WE look
to you when you begin your per-
manent home in Palestine, to give
stimulus to it's success under the in
fuence of those traditions which you
have exerted over thirty or forty
centuries to give us new intellec-
tual life, new intellectual stimulus,
new types of creation in the field
of art, philosophy, of science, and of
literature"

state of splendid efficiency It re-
fleets nobly on those at the head of
work, but more especially on the
generous givers throughout the land.
Without their help, these Jewish
boys of the East, most of them at
home only where there are things
Jewish, would have led a most mis-
cradle existence after their daily
work in the field.

now in the midst of a money drive
to help the Welfare Board and I
would urge everyone to give his ut
most for the little white house in
every camp that has become the
father, mother, and home of the
Jewish soldiers of Our country"
Lieut.. Kapplin is assistant adju-
tant at the officers training school
at Camp Gordon and speaks highly
of the Jewish men who trained for
commissions. The percentage of
Jewish boys in attendance was al
ways above the proportion of the
race in the service and their rating
in the various classes was exception
ally high, he said.

boys he concluded.

LIEUT.. KAPPLIN PRAISES
JEWISH WELFARE
WORK.

Because of the large number of
Jewish young men sent to Southern
training camps throughout this year,
the Jewish Welfare Workers in the
South have had big opportunity for
service, according to Lieut.. A. B.
Kapplin, formerly of Minneapolis,
who is here this week on leave
of absence from Camp Gordon, Ga.
Thousands of Jews were sent to
Camp Gordon from New York,
Philadelphia and other large Jewish
centers, Lieut.. Kapplin said, and the
service rendered these men is re-
Election on the men placed in charge
of Jewish Welfare throughout the
country. Southerners have been
most hospitable, their clubs and
homes being open at all times to
men in uniform.
AT one time last summer" said
Lieut., Kapplin, "new draft contin-
gents were composed almost entirely
of Jews, ajority of them from the
East side of New York. And all of
them hocked to the little white
house" of the ]. w. B., and, as one
who watched, and helped the Jewish
Workers, I want to say that they
did nobly. From Strengthening out
family troubles of soldiers to writing
their letters and conducting holy
services, the men in charge worked
steadily and earnestly.

ish Welfare was organized, I have
had an opportunity to see it grow

FORCING JEWS TO MIGRATE
FROM FINLAND.

The Jewish Chronicle reports that
the Finnish Government has handed
over the monopoly of the sale OF
manufactured articles to a Com
pany from which Jews are excluded.
In taking this step the Government
has deprived Jews Of practically the
most important means Of earning a
living as the laws of the country pro-
hibit them from pursuing other oc-
equations. Representations on be-
half of the Jews have failed to move
the Government to reconsider its
action which is obviously intended
to force the Jews to leave the coun-
try.

HIGHER PRICES HERE
Fruit. and Vegetables Taking Tum-

Higher in Richmond.

The bureau of markets Of the United
states Agricultural Department makes
weekly reports Of market conditions

country. In the report OF last week,
taking the vegetable and fruit mar
kets as whole. 1t is declared that all
the markets show weak tone, that is.
so far as fruits and vegetables are con-
cerned. 1t goes on to say that while
the price changes were not very pro-
nounced, they were generally down
ward, with a somewhat uneven trend
OF values" 1t also refers to a marked
decline In the prices. of peaches and
perhaps one or two other articles,
All of this may have been true. and
doubtless was true OF the balance of
the country; but It was far from tho
truth In the retail markets of Rich
mond. Here both vegetables and fruits
with scarcely an exception were high
er. and the very few exceptions were
exceptions only in that they were no
higher. They were certainly no lower.
No reason has been given in Richmond
for the failure of these goods to follow
III the wake OF the same goods In other
towns and come down little. and no
explanation is offered by tho dealers
OF the necessity for mari1ing them
higher.
