CASE OF sNAP-JUDGMENT.

The public schools of Escambia county Will
open today, and every effort should be made to
prevent the closing Of the schools again because
of the prevalence Of influenza, or for any other
cause unless absolutely necessary.
For days hundreds Of children to whom the
schools have been closed in the mornings, have
been spending their afternoons at the moving
picture houses and the streets of the city, and
it seems the part of wisdom to open the schools
to them again.
It is no light thing to close the schools of the
county, either for students or faculty,-it works
hardship on both. The time that is lost now
have to be made up in midsummer, else be
lost entirely.
The educational facilities of Escambia county
are not at the best, at any time, and the closing
and opening of the schools, in the somewhat hap
hazard fashion of the past few weeks, is GER
tainly not conducive to the improvement of the
educational affairs of the county.
If it is necessary to close the schools of the
county, in order, to prevent the spread of influ-
enza, most certainly they should be closed and
should remain closed until these preventive mea-
sures have achieved their purpose. But before
the schools closed again the authorities,
state, county and local, should be very certain
that such extreme measures are real necessity.
And the children of the city, who kept from
the classrooms in the mornings, most certainly
should not spend their afternoons at places of
amusement where crowds are allowed to con-
gregate.
The closing order has proved a fasco. It
would seem not so much that the closing of the
schools and places of amusement was the over
stepping of authority as a case Of snap-judg-
ment. If there was any real necessity for clos
ing these places they should have remained
closed. If there was no such reason, they should
never have been ordered closed in the beginning.
AS it is, it is about the only thing that has
come out of the closing order is undesirable adj
vertising for Pensacola and others concerned.

STRIKE AT THE ROOT.

Under the auspices of the Pensacola chapter
of the American Red Cross, and backed by the
authorities, it is purposed to start a cleanup
campaign for Pensacola and Escambia county.
This is all very well, as far it goes, but like
many other such movements, it does not seem
to strike directly at the root of the evil.
1t is said that representatives of the Red Cross
claim that much of the poverty and disease pre-
valing in the city is due to it's uncleanly condi-
ton and if this is true, there is certainly
thing radically wrong.
The laws which govern the sanitation Of the
city, and which already on the statute books,
are good ones. But these laws are absolutely in
effective, unless they are enforced. While the
movement to cleanup Pensacola is good one,
and should meet with encouragement it must
not be overlooked that the work will be rendered
absolutely Ineffective, unless they are enforced.
absolutely ineffective, unless the city is kept
clean at the close Of the cleanup campaign.
What do we mean by clean city, anyhow
Do we mean only city that is fair to look up
on, the streets of which are tidy and the park
ways of which pleasing to the eye? This
means much, but this does not mean all.
Spring is almost here, and it is not only es-
sential that the city should look clean to the
casual observer, but it is absolutely necessary
that it be really clean,-not only the street-ways
but the public buildings, the eating houses, the
diaries. And If the laws are enforced these
will and must be clean, for there are laws which
govern all of these.

Pensacola Journal.
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.

- S.OssS.
The vigorous opposition in the SEN
ate to the presidents proposal to give
100.0oo,000 to feed the starving peo-
pie Of Europe demonstrates undoubt-
edly that congress has reached the
point where full explanation Is to be
demanded before any more lump sum
appropriations will be made.
Most OF the opposition in the house
and senate to passage Of this bill re-
suited from failure OF President Will
son to explain to congress to exactly
der what conditions.
The opposition has not been direct
~ against giving the 500. Oo0, 900, ap-
proximately 81 out of the pocket of
each American, because 1t was to feed
starving Europe. because congress is
more than willing to give this great
sum II It will prevent the spread Of
general lawlessness, revolution and
|Bolshevism. Rather It arose from the
failure OF the president or Mr.. Hoover
to inform congress whether the al
lied countries are to make similar or
partial financial contributions in CO.
operation with the United States in
supplying food; whether all or part of
the food is to be given away free or
paid for later or what proportion each
stricken country Is to receive.
That this will be absolutely the last
lump sum appropriation made by con-
gress for some time is a certainly be-
cause not only congress but the peo-
pie are in a frame OF mind intent on
economy and careful distribution of
public funds Until the country is able
to again catch it's financial breath.

PROGRESS AND EVOLUTION

To the juvenile mind, maturity means much
that lures, attracts and beckons. Long trousers
and skirts not quite so short promise cherished
opportunities and Individual Importance
But comes period when life's substantial
good things are our, understood and appreciated
Then the end can be seen hooking, as we feel,
each year, drawn nearer to it.
Life is the sentence we serve as peanlty for
progress and evolution. 1t is the one sentence
which many would have interminabe, never to
end-particularly the most shortsighted, the
most successful and the most selfish.
The shortsighted forget that there must be
limit to have value. The less there is Of thing
the more its demand. The harder we have to
struggle for it the greater it's worth-and life
is maintained only by constant struggle. Lies
briefness makes it precious
The successful forget that if the theories of
evolution and mans idea of heaven have founda-
ton, this life is the threshold to better one.

FOUNTAIN FOR ROOSEVELT.

Announcement has been made that the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Societies and it's
affiliated State Organizations, Bird Societies and
Sportsmen's Clubs, throughout the country, will
at once begin the work of providing for the
ultimate erection a notable work of art to be
known as the Roosevelt Memorial Bird Foun-
tain.
T. Gilbert Pearson, the Secretary of the Asso-
citation who originated the plan has stated that
the enthusiastic manner in which the idea was
being received almost swept him off his feet
There is not the slightest doubt" said Mr.. Pear
son, 'sbut what the lovers of out-of-door life will
combine to support this tribute to our great
fallen leader. Colonel Roosevelt was the most
forceful champion of wild life conservation the
world has ever produced. He exposed the school
Of sham nature writer's and drove them to cover
under the singing appellation of nature takers.
He encouraged by example, by influence and by
contributions the work of scientific natural his
tory study. AS President he established the
principle of the United States Bird Reservations
and by executive order created thirty-eight of
these federal bird sanctuaries. AS hunter he
taught the world lessons in straight, clean
workmanship.
It is understood that the most eminent sculp-
tors in America will present plans for the me-
mortal bird fountain and that when completed
it will be not only the unique but one of the
handsomest works of out-of-door art in the
United States. It's location will be probably in
New York or Washington city. A National Com
mittee of Nature Lovers and Sportsmen is rapid
y being formed to advance the project.
