RED CROSS FIGHTS ILLITERACY

While the primary purpose of the American Red
Cross is to disease. relieve suffering and
abors do not end there and that the results it is
public health.
The question of illiteracy, instance, question
that particularly the SOUTH is that does
not fall properly into the province of the Red Cross,
yet during the past few months the Red Cross has
taken a distinctive part in the fight against iIlit
eracy, a part, too which in this perhaps no
other organization could have readily and sue
cessfully filled.

through the federal bureau for vocational training

only half the battle; the other half in provid-

existence of such an opportunity or had heard of it
only casually. Others wished to take the training
but did not know how to about it. Still more

it by the Red Cross which acted intermediary
between the board and the men, furnishing informa-

which meant for him a new foot-hold life.
Had it not been for the Red Cross, thousands of
men would have fallen back into the old rut and

the Red Cross debt of gratitude, but So too, does

Editor Pensacola Journal:
I noticed a news article in your
Friday paper headed like this: Prison
Faces VioIators of New Food Bill
Reading the article / find it pre-
scribes a maximum penalty of $4,000
fine and two years imprisonment for
violation thereof. Now, Mr.. Editor
we know that none of the many profit
GERS will ever receive any such fine
as that, no matter how flagrantly they
gouged the public. We would like for
Mr.. Figg to have stated the minimum
4 presume it is such a small amount
he would not take up space II your
paper to mention it.
Now IL the aboye-mentioned FINE
was the minimum instead of the MAXI
mum, believe me, profiteering would
be Immediately a thing of the past.
This robbery and exploitation of the
masses of the people has very near
reached its crisis. 1t requires heroic
treatment for chronic ilIs. So if this
gouging is ever going to stop before
this thing comes to a climax. there is
really some strong action needed to
produce results Mr.. Figg states in his
article that the people OF the United
States can BANK on lower prices
hope this gentleman knows what he
is talking about. Our president said
prices would be reduced in 30 days.

ATHLETICS IN COLLEGE

The old program Of college athletics was intended
to turn out crackerjack football team a corking
good baseball club, small but prize winning aggre-
cation of track and the of the students
sat in the grandstand
The idea, proposed by Adelbert College of
Western Reserve University sacrifices the few for
the many.
Each student will learn the rudiments of football,
basketball wrestling, boxing and other plays" says
the college bulletin. Tn this way not merely a
picked few experts on the Varsity but every
college will be member of some athletic team,
and derive physical benefits
1.-The system of physical education for every
man recognizes the injustice of the old method by
which selected few received the benefits of ath-
while large majority of students
stands and applauded."
Equal opportunity for physical development to
every student thus goes hand in hand with equal
opportunity for mental development
This be close approach to democracy in
college athletics. 1t promises healthier stronger

A CENTENNIAL RESUME

Many reasons may be urged by Pensacola for
holding the centennial in this city, but the foremost
claim of all may be found in the fact that not only
is the centennial intended to historical
events which have transpired here, but that the
movement for centennial celebration origi-
mated by a Pensacolian, former Senator John B.
Jones, and has been fostered by the people Of this
community; while it is frankly acknowledged by
friends the centennial movement for Jacksonville
that that city has slept at the post.
The Florida purchase centennial had its inception,
June. 1915. when the Florida legislature adopted
for holding the centennial exposition at Pen
sacoa-
In November. 1915, the city commissioners ap-
pointed centennial of fifty of the most
prominent citizens of Pensacola, to organize and
work out plans for holding the centennial here.
This committee adopted resolutions favoring an
exposition international in its scope and asked the
aid and cooperation of the United States govern
ment
In December, 1915 George Hervey. then citizen
of Pensacola, was delegated by the city commits
sioners to take the resolution to Washington, for
the purpose placing it before the Florida deega-
ton in congress
January Is. 1916 Senator Nathan P. Bryan pre-
sented the resolutions of the Florida Centennial
committee Pensacola to the senate of the United
states and the committee received the assurance
of the government that the matter would be taken
up and acted upon.
Each of senators and congressman in WASH
ington wrote the citizens committee. promising
assistance in with their desires, as ex
pressed in the resolution. Pending action by con-
sress the citizens committee communicated with
Col Charles Collier, managing director of the san
Diego exposition, and other prominent men connect
ed with great expositions.
Reports were received and plans were being per-
fected for carrying exposition and for obtain
ing from the legislature of 1917 legislation necessary

operate with the centennial committee and the ma
tional government handling the exposition, when
the world war stopped any further action
Although the city at the meeting of the 1917 ses-
sion of the legislature secured an amendment TO tne
charter empowering Pensacola to issue sooo'ooo
bonds for the purpose holding the centennial the
matter was held in allegiance until the armistce was
signed.
Almost Immediately. the signing of the arrnis-
tice the city commissioners renewed action ana
again applied for amendment to the city charter
through the legislature of 1919, to enable them 10
carry on the exposition
The people of 1915 manifested desire to celebrate
the centennial in a fitting way, and the sentiment

And make general the campaign.
