We have received courteous letter
from Mr.. Bryan Mack, in which he
politely demonstrates with US for our
recent criticism on his writing for
the newspapers and holding a public
office at the same time We do not
think that Mr. Mack would knowing
ly let, his newsletters be biased by his
connection with the board of control
Another man in his position might
What he does well, another man
might do i'll. The point we wish to
make is that it is bad policy and not
good for the public interest for man
to hold public Office, given him fo1
partisan reasons, and at the same
time write news, particularly news
from the state capital. 1t has beer
often tried and generally resulted in
abuse.

Miss Isabelle Mays, assistant prin-
cipal of the Ocala high school, in
forms the Star that she expects to go
to France this summer, to aid in war
work, probably to help in the can
teens. Miss Mays is one of Florida IS
best teachers and best women. If she
goes to France, she will do nobly, but
we are not certain but that she is
more needed at home The war has
greatly reduced the number of school
teachers, but it is more than ever
necessary that the schools be kept up
The government is specially DESTROYS
that as many young men as possible
be graduated from the high schools,
for the longer the war lasts the more
they will be needed.

In his great speech at Baltimore
Saturday night, President Wilson
again said the right thing at the
right time. America must meet force
with force. America has the force of
right and also the force of might.
America alone can defeat Germany if
our people back their presidents
words up with the grim determination
that the world has right to expect
from the nation. And we believe
America will do that very thing. Day
by day, as the war lengthens, the
strength of this mighty country, and
the will to use it becomes more fully
aroused,

that are not able to do so and would
have to stop school otherwise. The
average stenographer, clerk, book
keeper or farmer lies down to pleas
ant dreams at bedtime with no hard
lessons TO go over for the next day,
no problems to solve for forming
characters that come directly under
his or her control nor patrons of
every class to satisfy. The teacher
has all these responsibilities. Then
after the years work is over the nor
NAL has to be attended, which con-
sumes the salary for the year. Teach
ing is six to nine months; other voca-
lions are twelve months. The teach
er's work is twelve to fifteen hours a
day, others are eight TO ten. The
average grammar school boy or girl
can do these other vocations but for
the teacher it takes time, patience
and education and more education to
be a teacher. How can we say they
are not overworked nor underpaid?
AS for the unnecessary studies,
say that it takes it all to be educat-
ed. All these studies broaden the
mind. That is what we go to school
for. Does the Star. think that man
ought not to know anything but his
own work? Agriculture is one of the
essentials of the present day rural
schools Thirty-three and third per
cent of our English language is de-
rived from Latin. Then how can we
learn the English properly without
Latin? Algebra does more to cult
vate the reasoning ability than any OF
the lower studies. Of course, al
these help US to solve the problems Of
life, even though we may never neet
them after they have been learned

mind is the result Of it.

only reason why he doesn't study
about his next days or next months
work is because he is too darned tired

In giving the names, week before
last, of Marion county boys in the
navy, the name of Earl w. Smith was
enormously printed as Carl w. Smith.
Earl is well known here and his
friends listen closely for news of him.
He has two brothers in the navy,
whose names were not given in the
list; namely, William Warner Smith
and ID. S. Smith Jr. Smith is a num-
erous name, and it is noticeable that
it is seldom worn by pro-German.

Elsewhere, under the head of 'sTak-

two letters, criticising our criticisms
onthe public school system. There is
much merit in Miss Porter's argu-
ment. We are willing to concede that
teaching music in the schools, while
not necessity, is something that it
might pay the taxpayers to pay for.
Mr.. Flanders argument is rather
amusing. We do not know of any
school teachers who work longer
hours or make greater sacrifices than
people in other occupations. AS for

no problems on his mind, that is an
assertion that will amuse the average

are greatly interested in

what in the neighborhoods in which
we are doing business.
We are mighty glad that you
thought of us as you did in this mat

are greatly interested in the showing
that Bogalusa makes in every bust
ness matter, especially in a matter
like the success of this Liberty Loan

seas.
With kind regards and hoping to
have the pleasure of seeing you be-
