PROVING FAITH BY WORKS

Mrs. Emily Green hands the Star
a dollar for its high school military
equipment fund. The dollar is for her
oldest son, Sergeant Edward Green,
who as a boy studied at the high
school, and who is now fighting for
his country in France.
Mrs Green was one of the leaders
among the patriotic women who had
this military course added to the high
schools system of instruction. She
saw what was coming years before
many other women, and reused up
herself and tried to rouse others up,
to meet it.
Mrs. r. L. Anderson, whose three
younger sons, now officers in the
army, studied in the high school, also
contributes to the fund.
We only need few dollars more.
Who will hand them in?
Following is the list:

be elected, but if it is not it will be
more from local than national rea-
sons. We have observed with regret
that rM. Wilson's war measures have
received more opposition from DEM
ocrats than republicans in Congress.
1t has not only been Stone, Vardaman,
Hardwick and several others that
openly fought the administrations
policy but there is a suspicion that
Champ Clark would have prevented a
declaration of war if he could, and
Claud Kitchin's opposition to the war
and then to the draft was outspoken.
Republican opposition to war meas
ures has been almost non-existent.
The South will support Mr.. Wilson al
most solidly; almost all the copper
heads will have been weeded out in
the primaries. But in the North,
from local issues. the democrats may
lose few congressman. If Mr.. Will
son had said nothing, such changes
would have made no difference, so far
as his war policies are concerned. But
now that he has spoken, if the dem
ocrats lose enough votes in Congress
to lose control of that body, it will
give the Germans excuse to say the
country is not backing up the presi-
dent.

We have received galley proof of an
article opposing this increase of three
mills for schools. It is written by a
man named Light and is taken from
the Ocala Star. It is an unilghted
Light. 1t would even dim the light
of education for the sake of a few
paltry pennies until such time as the
Utopian dream of absolutely just and
balanced taxation is provided in Flor
Commercial.
We notice, however, that the Com
mercial does not print Mr.. Lights
article, so its readers could Judge for
themselves of its merits. Leach SCOTS
at Light, but he is afraid to give him
a fair chance in controversy. It is
safe bet that Light knows ten times
as much as Leach about Florida
school and other affairs.

Mr.. Crimson is aggrieyed because

Mr.. Crimson is aggrieved because
we speak of the teachers as a
tribe, "teacherage," teacher
bund," 'teachercraft," a teacher
hood" an educational autocracy,'
etc. Now. if Mr.. Brinson will delve
into his dictionary, he will find there
is nothing offensive in any of these
names; in fact, "tribe," ''bund, y
"hood" and craft" all have honorable
meanings, and Educational autoc-
racy" will not have anything else un-
less the teachers themselves make it
SO. Teachers generally are good folks
and nice folks, SO when we went to
calling them names we picked out the
most classy epithets in our repertoire.
Teachers are mostly honest, intelli-
gent and virtuous-they have to be to
hold their jobs-and to these excel
lencies they should add that of being
philosophical, because if they go into
a public controversy they are bound
to be pushed around some.

PALATKA NEWS. ALSO
A BACKWARD PAPER

The Palatka News, whose editor,
VIM. A. Russell, has been member of
the legislature for years as well as
being a journalist of long time ex-
perience, writes the following about
the proposed ten-mill amendment.
His county is next door to ours and
his description of Putnam county
school affairs will come very near
fitting Marion county. He says:
The News has been flooded with
circulars and other campaign litera-
ture during the past month urging it
to come out strong for the ratification
of the proposed amendment to the
Florida constitution fixing ten mills
as the maximum county school levy.
The present maximum county
school levy is seven mills.
The proposed amendment increas-
ing the maximum levy in the coun-
ties to ten mills will be voted on at
the coming general state election
Nov. 5th.
The News regrets it cannot comply
with the request of the campaign
committee of professional educators
to "come out strong" for the proposed
amendment, although it can see
wherein the amendment is important
to the professional educator.
In the first place there has been no
public action taken on the subject by
the Putnam county school board. In
this county most of the schools have
an eight months term. The county
levy for school purposes is seven
mills In addition to this Putnam
county is divided into a large number
of special tax school districts, each
one of which makes an additional levy
of three mills for the benefit of the
schools in that special district.
There seems to be no reason why
other counties in the state cannot re-
sort to this special tax school dis
trict plan. By doing so they secure
the needed ten mills in a manner al.
ready provided by law. Putnam coun-
ty has school wherever there are
sufficient pupils to warrant it's estab-
lishment. Those remote from estab-
lished schools are provided with
means of transportation at the public
expense. Our teachers are well paid.
Their pay will correspond favorably
with the earnings of men and women
of culture in other walks of life. The
average pay of our school teachers is
more than three times the the aver
age pay of our ministers of religion.
There seems to be no general de-
mand for the passage of this amend
ment. Our schools are of charac-
ter and degree of efficiency requiring
no apology. Our teachers are well
paid. The school term is sufficiently
long. For these reasons the News
will not advocate the passage of this
amendment. Not at this time.

A German professor says that
neither the Russian bath nor the wa

effects as the war diet in German
households. The change from gross
ness and hugeness to bagging trous-

We Americans think we are merci-

The most likely supposition is that
the Germans are trying TO fool the
Allies into a truce that will give them
a chance to reform their shattered
lines, and with the lines once reform
ed they would declare the terms offer

But the indications are that our folks
are wise to them.
