The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-05-01

They informed the United States in
general that their waters teented with
fish, almost to the point of impeding
navigation and that the sun in Flor
ida was obscured only by the vast
flock og game birds flying beneith it.
1t was clever work and 1t brought
results for, while the Florida climate
fails to conform to the specifications
now and then, Florida has capitalized
1t to the fullest extent. Frequently it
is all that could be desired, but Flor
ida's best crop consists of the north
ern folks who spend the winter in the
Southern state. She sends much to
the Northern markets, but her profits
come largely from the people Of the
North who go there and consume the
produce where 1t is grown.
The other Southern states are fifty
years back of Florida. One finds in
Virginia and South Carolina papers
interminable discussions as to what
This said to Colonel That at the bat
tie of Stone River or Malvern Hill.
The papers of Alabama express grief
at the indifference of outsiders to
Alabama writer's, but the Florida pa
pers are filled with skilfully prepared
articles as to the natural resources of
the state. Florida is looking for
ward and we have reason to think
that If any state gets returning SOL
diers to drain swamp land it will be
Florida. The policy her people have
adopted is something worth while and
will bring valuable results to the
commonwealth which has
adopted it.--Hartford Courant.

FLORIDA's ENTERPRISE

The Florida Times-Union gives an
account of a dinner to which the
members of the state legislature were
invited which is worth serious con-
sheraton here in New England The
legislators enjoyed an eight-course
banquet served in Tallahassee and
arranged and planned by the sh, !lfsli
commissioner of the state with the
able assistance of his wife. Most of
the food was taken from Florida wa
tiers and practically all Of It came
from within the borders of the state.
Tarpon scales from Florida fish
were used for place cards, while
seaweed and moss were used for
decorations. The dishes were shells
and even the candles used for light
ing the tables were set in improvised
holders taken from the waters of the
state, Everything belonged to Flor
ida from the dinners to the articles
upon which they dined,
Florida should be proud Of her
shell fish commissioner, but she
should be even more proud of her
own people who, be 1t said to their
credit, are the Yankees Of the South
and they are quick to see the natural
resources of their own state and, II
they keep their present pace. we of
New England may become their pu.
pills with profit to us. They learned
nearly thirty years ago to capitalize
their climate and told the rest Of the
United tSates hat they had he finest

Prigadier General Would Have Flor
ida Represented

World war veterans are deeply in
terested in the organization OF the
American Legion inaugurated in
France in February and to be pushed
to conclusion at a meeting OF the
temporary committee to be held in st
Louis May s, and 10.
This win undoubtedly develop into
the largest veterans organization in
the United states, as participants in
other wars will be taken in, and dele
gates to the meeting from Florida
are wanted. The state is entitled TO
eight delegates, and Brigadier Gen
eral Albert H. Blanding Of Barlow,
who fought with the 9th division in
the Cambrai-St. Quentin sector
wants veterans who can attend to
communicate with him at once. There
is very little time to secure creden-
tails and prepare for the trip, by
reason of which General Blanding
expresses the hope that men eligible,
able and willing to attend will wire
or write him at Barlow during the
present week.
1T is to be thoroughly understood
that officers do not wish to take the
lead in the work of this great or
ganizati0n, and / hope enlisted men
of Florida, as well as officers, will i'm
mediately volunteer to make the trip
to st. Louis said General Blanding.
Owing to the nearness Of the meet
ing date | have no opportunity to To-
cate men who will attend the meet
ing, so I would like to communicate
without delay with volunteers. Lett
have Florida represented to the best
possible advantage. I have received
telegraphic authority to appoint elig
ibles and will be glad to exercise that
privilege"
The following, signed by Lieut.
Col Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.; Lieut.
Col. Bennett Clark and Lieut.. Col.

invites the governors and rne adult

TELLS OF BUSINESS
EDUCATION HERE
Norwegian Commissioner Com
ments on Commercial
Study in U. s.

In an article published in the Verdens
Gang Of Christiania. Norway. Mr.. Lehm-
kuhl. n member OF the commission sent
here to study the higher commercial edu-
cation In connection with the foundation
of the Commercial University Of Norway
In Bergen, made the following COM
ments on the American system Of busi-
ness education:
Interest In the higher commercial
education in America is comparatively
rev. A few schools of a somewhat
older standing exist, but It Is only dur
ing the past five or ten years that a
more widespread interest has sprung UP :
during the war different facts have been
disclosed and new situation created
which has made the question a burn
ing one.
THE worlds trade has grown more
| and more complex and extensive: not
| only Is the educational world greatly
interested, but the American business
world also has begun to understand
that IL the country Is to fill the place
in the commercial life of the world
| which 1t Is now striving for. a more
thorough education Is necessary.
1T was of the greatest interest to the
members of the commission to hear the
| clear and confident way in which these
sentiments were expressed, For in
stance. lawyer, doctor or an ensi-
reer must have a most thorough educa
ton. both professional and general. Sim
liar requirements will also be necessary
with regard to the education of the bus
mess man. This is the goal, and there
I can be no doubt that once America has
tackled this problem she will be sure to
| solve IT,
THE higher commercial education in
the United States is. generally speaking
carried on in much the same way a.
the instruction at the universities and
the chronological institutes. 1t Is
sometimes connected with the universe
are also colleges where commercial sub
| jects are the chief ones.
However. the way In which instruc-
tion is given at the higher educational
| Institutions In America Is quite different
from the usual system in Norway. There
Is far greater reciprocity between the
professors and the pupils than with us.
and also--especially with the CONNER
cial branches OF the Observation-Disclosures
the schools and the strong. brisk bus!-
| ness life.
Physical development OF the stu
dents receives a great deal of attention
! Gymnastics and sports are a feature al
all the universities, and much money
/ and work is spent in affordinS sanitary
lodgings for the students.
1T is a well known fact that America
Is unusually we'll supplied with public
libraries for the education Of the peo-
pie. owing largely to private donations
The means that have created the libra.
ries have also been of great benefit tc
he universities. They are, practically
without exception. amply provided witt
buildings. books. aids to instruction and
appliances for good and healthy sport
All that will be required to bring com.
mercial education up TO the standard
which the United States has set Itself
Will no doubt be lavishly given"

ADYERTIsEMENT.
DEAR FOLKS:

operating under MS own
name - assuming personal
responsibility for the adop-
ton and execution of broad,
humane and unusual stand
ards of business practice
gave him new inspiration
in his work.
It was only three years ago
in March of this year that
Mr.. Wilson gave his name
and his energy and his abili-
ty and his heart to the bust
ness of Wilson & Company.
I asked many people while
I was in Chicago what was
the name of the business
firm to which the name
Wilson & Company had
been given.
Not a single one could tell
me.
All they knew was that the
name Wilson & Company
had become very we'll and
very favorably known and
that it stands for the high
est ideals in business prac-
tice-that it stands for the
highest principles in ser
vice to the public-facts
that are borne out by the
statement that the business
has more than trebled in
volume in three years.
Everywhere I go-and I
meet hundreds of people
every week of my life-I
hear that Mr.. Wilson puts
more heart and soul into
business than any man they
ever heard of.
Chicago people are very
proud of the name Wilson.
They think that Wilson &
Company, by their methods
and the heart they put into
the business, are adding to
the fame of Chicago.
1t is a splendid test of a
mans character and his
popularity when his home
town people speak up for
him enthusiastically and
affectionately as Chicago
people do speak of Thomas
E. Wilson.
You know, folks, that this
is true, don't you?
You have examples in your
hometown, haven't you?
You know the men and wo-
men in your community
who play the game of life
on the level.
And how you like them,
don't you?
But the best certificate of
character that any man can
! receive is that given to him
by the men and women
with whom he comes in
daily contact.
I like Mr.. Wilson personal
ly very much. l think he is
liked very much by every
body that meets him-but I
have not formed my i'm
pressions of him through
personal contact.
I haven't seen Mr.. Wilson
often or very long at a time.
I don't think I have spoken
to him as many words as
there are in this letter to
you.
What l have learned about
him / have learned by ask
ing people in Chicago and
in other cities; but I got my
real look into his heart and
his character and his bust
ness principles by mingling
with his associate-workers.
