JAS. M. LARGUE
FAVORS TAX LEVY

Escambia has been bidding for the
location here OF the live, energetic
Iarmers of the middle west that her
agricultural pursuits might be increas-
ed Ii our citizens are in earnest they
should solidly support the amendment
to the state constitution to provide
maximum Of ten mills for the support
ana maintenance of our school Sys-
tenn. So long as this county has only
four TO six months terms In our rural
schools. we are bidding in vain 10
secure progressive farmers
Thls is the opinion of James M.
Largue as to the ten-mill amendment.
Continuing, he said: while | realize
that the people are considerably bur-
dened now, nevertheless education OF
our children should not be curtailed or
denied Let this economy be practiced
in some other direction where it would
only affect few and not the many.
II our schools are to be kept up to
their high standard of efficiency 1T is
absolutely essential that the teachers
be compensated in keeping with the
present cost of living.
The adoption Of this amendment
does not mean that the Board of Pub
lie Instruction will of necessity in
crease your tax three mills, but it
merely raises the maximum from a
seven to len mill levy for school ptlr-
poses, and Escambia county is for
tunate in having safe. sane and eco
nonical school board to guard your
interest"

TEACHING AND EDUCATION.

TEACHING ANlN EDUCATION.
one,day early,in septembersa little company Of
men met in an office. They, were about to I'M
dertake one of thesweightiest businesses that ear
devolve upon American men. One of them was
the of education; the others were
principals .of the several ipublic schools of the
city The school yearwas beginning. From that
day on until, June the minds of more that fifty
thousand,young Americans would be officially in
the handsAoftthe mem in that room Their dis
cussion, in, tgenerali way, was as to how thew
should dealswEth those young minds.
The superintendent presented very impor-
tant idea-namely, that the children's compost
lions shouldibe kept in portfolios with the names
hundred per cent in spelling should be required
of graduates. Somebody earnestly urged that
more attention shoudtbe paid to oral arithmetic.
Nobody even,hinted that the subject of a world
war might besmentioned during the year to those
fifty thousand.young Americans.
And that particular city is typical Most of our
public school instruction in this year, 1918. is or
dered like that-with reference to how HIGH q
pupil should stand in spelling and what attention
should be given to oral arithmetic, but with no
reference to anything that has happened since
July, 1914.
Some millions of young Americans sit day after
day within walls that hear no echoes from Metz
and st. Quentin-whose echoes, in fact, take no
cognizance that such thing as Western Front
that description in all America
If you are of age probably you do not realize
that the fighting round Santiago, Cuba, is the
latest American military exploit which is brought
to the attention of the coming generation bv
those who are specially trained and paid to en-
gage it's attention.
1t is an old and melancholy subiect-this scbo1-
asticism of most of our public school instrnc-
ton, its obstinate detachment from life.
Some weeks ago we saw big brown tent
pitched few rods off the main street Of vii
lage The banner over the entrance said Chau
tauqua. The tent was packed and overlooking
with an audience listening to young man in
khaki. Considered strictly as literary perform
ance, it not a remarkable war lecture but
we saw dozens of children sitting breathless-
there boy with parted lips, his eyes rapt and
with emotion.
That figure on the platform had been in it his
hands had touched the guns; his eyes had seen
the trenches. He would be an awful bIockhead
who could not take that for point of departure
and get those children interested in American
history. But next week those same children would
sit half Supplied over colorless account of the
war of 1912.
They say it cannot be done; that the textbooks
were all prepared long before the war; that edu-
cation must begin with the old stuff All the
same, it will be done. 1t has got to be done!
Boring children and then complaining that they
will not learn properly is not educating them
Public school instruction must find it's points of
departure in the living, busting world, to which
pupils interest naturally runs.
