Inc most remarkable event in tn.

FLORIDA who, in addition to a wealth

human beings. He was visionary,
but his visions were workable. His
visions were startling and immense,
but when they began to flash out of
his imagination into great hotels and
cities and railroads people felt that a
dreamer had at last come to Florida
capable of giving to the state some
thing from the hidden world of his

is very largely his creation. He not
only brought the world to see her
beauty and her resources, but he
transformed her wilderness into
towns, and placed churches and
schools and farms where only the
hunter and the pioneer had made
their homes.
Owing to the abuse of rich men and
great corporations, the public has
peen led to believe that they are the
enemies of the common people. It
mas been claimed that a man who
owns $1OO,OOO,OOO has $4,000 600
which belong to the poor laborers
who contributed to the wealth of that
rich man. OF course, such ideas
pushed a little further lead to anarch.

Is all the beautiful and good
Delusive and misunderstood?
And has the soul no forward reach?
And do, indeed, the facts impeach
The theories the teachers teach?
And is this Immortality
The child of ideality
Delusion or reality?
And yet-at times
We get advice
That seems like chimes
From Paradise;
The soul doth sometimes seem to be
In sunshine which it cannot see:
AT times the spirit seems to roam
Beyond the land, above the foam,
Back to some half-forgotten home

Yes. Well said DR.. Ward, "you

He took delight in overcoming

MISSION FAILS TO RESCUE AM ERICANS
 HELD BY BOLSHEVIK

EXCHANGED, May 9-(Py the As sociated Press)-The commission of allied officers, including Captain A Harzfeld of Kansas City, which went to Vologda to negotiate for an ex- change of prisoners, has returned to Archangel, the mission having failed, owing to the attempt of the bolshevih to turn the meeting into a political one and their evasion of the question of exchanges.
 Private Earl Fulcher of Tyre, Mich, who was prisoner at Vologda, was allowed to return, however, with Captain Harzfeld. The only other American prisoner at Vologda, Private August B. Peterson of Whitehall, died in hospital the day before Cap tain HaMfelds departure from the effects of wounds and shell shock.
 The commission found the prison CTS at VoIogda we'll treated and well fed sbut objecting to the constant Bolsheviki propaganda. Of fifty pris- oners at Moscow, six are Americans. Through the efforts of the commission these men, who were formerly in prison, have been given liberty of the streets.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCAT ION.

4 national department Of education
Is being urged by the women's clubs of
the United States. A bill TO create such a
department waS introduced IN the House
Of Representatives last January by Con-
gresham Towner. OF Iowa, snd was ap-
proved and supported by the National
Education Association, the American
Federation of Teachers. the American
FEEDER stion OF Labor and Was generally
commended by the press and eminent
publiclsts, but was prevented from en-
actnlent because of measures connected
with the war.
The need for such department ARISES
from many causes. At the present time
the educational activities and superyi-
slons Of the Federal COVER nment are
divided among more than eighty different
bureaus and boards, sepa ated among
yarious departments. The result is incon-
ceiyable confusion Some activities over
lap, while in several important directions
there is no ACTIVITY nor supervision what
ever. The proposed department of educa-
ton IS TO be presided over by q Secretary
OF abinet rank, with seat in the highest
council of the nation, and that his as
sistant shall be q woman. A budget of
ST least 500 900, 900 will be necessary
10 carry on the nOfh Vi btlAo OSE}ai tIItSI1L.
1t is hoped that the bill will be passed
early in the present session of Congress.
a special effort will be made b. the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
n conjunction with the National Council
Of Jewish Women, the Association of
Collegiate AIumnAe and the National
Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teache
Association to promote the passage OF
this bill. Representatives from all educa-
tional departments Of work will meet
with the congress ofschoolsupcrintendents
Of the National Education Association
ii Cleveland, Ohio, February %, % az
members of the department of school
patrons to discuss plans for furthering
the project. Ms. o. Shepard Barnum,

he credited with tho larger measure OF
responsibility, but the latter, he also
declared, materially helped the reduction
Improved home life waa the esult OF
the combination of prohibition and
prosperity and he cited instances Of
parents devoting more attention to their
households at the present than ever
before, He pointed out that rome men
inclined TO be careless, regardless OF
their earning capacity, had the results
of their carelessness Impressed upon them
to greater extent since July l.
Men. who formerly were concerned
with the financial end, have shown a
greater appreciation of their personal
responsibilities. They come to the Office
of the Chief Probation Officer and offer

they were inclined to be antagonistic.
Prosperity, he declared, has had the
effect of stimulating ambitions that have
been allowed To become dormant. The
