State School Inspectors Report Makes
Creditable Showing for Pinellas County

To those who have kept themselves
informed as to school conditions in
this county, the report is no surprise,
for the excellent work accomplished
by the County School Board, County
Superintendent of Schools Hollins and
by the teachers in these schools is well
known to the people of Pinellas.
Nevertheless it is extremely graft
flying to have the endorsement placed
upon them by the state inspector and
his statement regarding them publish
ed that all may know the real state OF
educational affairs in Pinellas.
When to this is added the fact that
every High School in the county is
on the accredited list and that the
grammar schools in each of the larger
towns of the county are kept up te
the highest standard, the educational
conditions in Pinellas stand out super
ior to hose of any other county of this
state, and equalled by few if any coun-
ties of any other state of the Union.

expected to subscribe literally. In the
matter of the sale of War Savings
Stamps, Clearwater has fallen behind
some of the other towns of about
equal size in the state. Clearwater
has sold up to March %, only $1,000
worth, while Tarpon Springs has a
record of $4,000. Still Clearwater has
excelled many towns of its size in
subscriptions to Liberty Bonds and in
contributions to the Red Cross and
other funds.-Clearwater Sun.
