Iowa Forum: It is a peculiar sort OF
a president who can get himself al

They are the soap box crowd. the long

are simple minded nuts and mainly

PARENT-TEACHERS
SEE ART EXHIBIT
AT SCHOOL NO. 10

Mrs. Arthur Wrighton was elected
president of the Parents Teachers
Association of School No. 10 at very
interesting meeting of the association,
held at the school building Friday
afternoon. The resignation of Mrs. Pa
tillo Campbell. who has efficiently
served as president in the past. was
accepted, and Mrs. c. f. McReynolds
served as temporary chairman until
her successor was chosen.
After the business meeting de-
lightfuI social hour was enjoyed, the
mothers leisurely inspecting the pupils
works of art. The Exhibit was o
splendid one and was attractively ar
ranged about the room. Groups of
birds and butterflies here and there
| together with cut flowers gave every
appearance of Maytime.
| The work of the children was ar
ranged by grades. The drawings dis
played by grade 1, showed splendid
work for the pupils of that grade and
their composition books which were
| also displayed, were creditable to
teachers and pupils. A handsome dis
| play of drawings was made by grade
! two, the construction work of this
grade being especially admired. an in
teresting part of which We're the pref
tily decorated May baskets.
The exhibit Of grade three, OF which
Miss Myrtle is teacher, attracted much
favorable attention. Besides the art
work there was a display of clay mod
cling, with clever models Of rabbits i'll

modelled just as the child's mind die
tated as he worked with the plastic
clay. There were also vases, bowls,
pipes, steamboats,, speedboats, blimps.
tanks, destroyers, submarines and last
of all German helmet modelled by
tiny hands.
The bird, animal and flower charts
made by this grade also showed much
artistic taste and skill worthy of spe-
cia1 mention.
An unusually beautiful collection of
water color paintings of floral and ag-
ricultural life landscapes and water
scenes was exhibited by the pupils of
grade four.
The exhibit showed splendid work
accomplished by the teachers and pu-
pills for the term for which they are
to be heartily congratulated, and for
the splendid art exhibit much of the
credit is due to the efforts of Miss
Emma Chandler art teacher. Members
of the faculty are: Miss Eva Waters,

GOVERNMENT
REVOKES FREE
GRAZING ORDER
CHANGE IN REGULATIONS APPLY
TO NATIONAL FORESTRY RE-
SERVES IN WEST FLORIDA.

Notice has been received by the local
I forest service office that the special
provision made by the secretary of
| agriculture several years ago to apply
to the Florida national forest whereby
persons residing In or near the forest
have been allowed to Craze 25 head
OF cattle, so head OF hogs or IS head
OF sheep free Of charge, has been rc-
voked.
With this change the grazing admin
istration of the Florida national forest
has been brought into conformity with
that of all the 40 national forests Of
the United States. While the special
provision was of direct advantage to
a few users of the range, it worked
more less of a hardship on the coun-
ties as whole. within which the forest
is located. This, by reason of the fact
that grazing receipts were reduced and
this reduction was reflected in the
amount of money available for roads
and schools within the county. Twen-
ty-five per cent of the gross receipts
of all national forests is turned over.
to the counties. An additional ten per
cent is used by the forest service
FOR the construction of roads.
The grazing policy of the forest
service is one which encourages in
creased production of livestock. This
is aimed at in several ways. All posi-
BILE areas are made available Better
handling of the stock on the range
is recommended and the grading up
of stock is encouraged. 1t is probable
that within few years the Florida
national forest will be the only open
range in the state. At that time full
called into service, and the plan will
be to make the privileges of the
greatest value to the most people. The
local forest officers anticipate cheerful
compliance with the new regulation as
promulgated by the secretary of agri-
culture. and feel that the grazing adj
of the government has
now been developed to point where
further changes will not be necessary.

CALLED
BY SCHOOL BOARD
TO WORDING OF ACT

The act of the legislature enabling
the Escambia county school board to
acquire properties has apparently been
the cause of some misunderstanding.
For many years it has been the prae-
tice of school boards to buy and sell
properties at pleasure, under the i'm
preston that such acts were within
the law. At length, however, a test
case was made under injunction pro-
ceedings. and the state supreme court
ruld that school boards cannot buy
even the least amount of property
even after the people have sanctioned
it by vote. without the consent of the
county commissioners.
In view of the evident embarrassment
this technicality would impose upon
the efficient work of the board, the
Escambia county board drew and in
duced the legislators from the county
to put through both houses the fol-
