Florida Needs More Libraries.

Florida Needs More Libraries.
Such is the cry being sent forth
throughout the state under the leader
ship of the state director of the Ameri-
can Library Association.
1t is stated by this association which
has been making a survey OF the coun-
try in connection with public library
development, that only ia per cent OF
the population of Florida has access to
free public libraries, leaving upwards of
100000 Of our citizens net provided with
free library service.
Only Is libraries in the state are
classed as free public libraries, contain
ing 90.S37 volumes, which serve but
131,173 of our population. The U. s.
Bureau of Education estimates that the
smallest library for public use should
consist of 5000 volumes, and there are
but three such in the state.
Undoubtedly the larger the library
the better, but one well selected, with
half that number of books, would prove
most valuable to any community, and
afford opportunities for research in al
most every branch OF knowledge. It is
very gratifying to the student to have a
large number Of books for original re-
search. but. an encyclopaedia volume, or

FLORIDA METROPOLIS CHANGES
HANDS.

Announcement has been made in the
Monday issue of the Florida Metropolis
of the sale Of that newspaper to s. A.
Lynch, theatrical and moving picture
magnate, who Is making his home In
Jacksonville. It is rumored that the
sum of $4,000 was received for the
newspaper. one of the best properties
in Florida.
Pensacola and West Florida will be
specially interested in this announce
ment, as w. r. Carter, editor and
Ico-partner with r. A. Russell. business
manager is a former Santa Rosa coun-
ty man, having at one time made his
home in Milton, and Oscar Johnson,
managing editor, is former Pensacola
boy, who received his early training in
this city.
The Metropolis was established thir-
ty-three years ago, and has been out
of the hands OF its original owners only
once in that period, and then only for
a very short time.
1t has steadily forged ahead until to-
day 1t may claim with some right the
distinction of being the greatest after
noon daily in the state. Under the
present management 1t has made not
able progress, and is one OF the most
valuable newspaper properties in the
south.
Mr.. Carter is one OF the best trained
newspaper men in the country; Mr..
Russell has evidenced his splendid abil-
ity in the business carried by the news
paper, even in the dullest season of the
year. AS Managing Editor, Mr.. john
son has made a statewide reputation,
his natural abilities having developed
rapidly and his advancement having
been gained not only through hard
work, but through certain keen sense
of values, which has made him a par
ticularly good political reporter and
editor. He is thoroughly conversant
with state politics and his forecasts of
the political situation are read with in
terest all over the state.
The best wish we can find to offer
the new owners is that they may keep
the newspaper on the same plane of
city and state usefulness it now oc-
cupies.

STRONG FOR PENSACOLA.
Editor. The Pensacola Journal,

Editor, The Pensacola Journal,
Pensacola, Fla:
Please accept my heartiest congratu-
1ations on your splendid editorial which
was published in the journal Of May
10. 1t certainly does you and your
paper credit.
1t may appear more or less presump-
tuous for a comparative stranger, like
myself to comment, critically or other
wise, upon a subject which due to his
ignorance of past and present condi-
tions, he is of necessity unfamiliar with.
Lacking such knowledge does not limit
his analytical powers, however, and
no man with ordinary common sense
and good judgement could possibly
overlook the scores of opportunities
and possibilities which surround him
in almost any part of Pensacola.
If I were asked to submit a motto
to be used as sort of trademark by
the Chamber of Commerce and allied
organizations I would call Pensacola
1.-THE City Of Opportunities" for they
certainly are here.
Having travelled extensively, I can
appreciate natural resources in a city
and right here want to say that Pen
sacola ranks among the best in this
country because of her natural re-
sources as vacation land. Because
of her God-given natural, scenic beauty
Pensacola is in a position to become
a mecca for thousands Of tourists from
all over the United States-and this
is easily possible with little develop
ment and exploiting.
Nearly every Pensacolian have met
has considerable pride in his or her
city-and with very good reason. Now
let's all get together on this and talk
Pensacola all the time, and every time
we write to some one outside the city
let's tell him what a wonderful place
Pensacola is. This may seem a very
small matter but eventually it will
get results.
We must not be satisfied by only
putting Pensacola on the map (there
are thousands of cities and towns cas-
lily found on the map but we must
get her talked about in every state in
the union, and we can do this by de-
veloping and exploiting what we have.
I am strong for Pensacola.
Yours very truly,

set, containing the substance OF nun
dreds or thousands Of volumes, Will
answer all purposes in a working u
Drary, and that is the kind that every
community requires.
Our private library illustrates this
point. It was assembled for working
purposes. In it's 1000 volumes ana
pamphlets, facts and information can
De obtained upon almost every concefV-
able subject. It specializes somewhat
upon Florida history and literature as
the writer has made that study, out
by Tar the greater number OF the more
important works are encyclopaedia reI-
erence works, and topical in character
where the writer's who have given
hfetlme to certain subjects have re-
duced the result of their studies to as
or1ef an article as would give genera
knowledge Of it.
| The association advocates county
libraries to meet the requirements
more fully of the rural population. This
would better be governed by the popu-
lation and its distribution. II, as Is the
case here, the bulk of population is in
towns and cities adjoining each other
the plan might advantageously be va
ried to meet the condition. The press
dispatch from Washington relative to
this subject closes with the following
extract:
IN making known the results OF the
Bureau Of Educators survey, Ameri-
can Library Association officials point
out that the library development of the
last several years may be too recent
to be taken fully into account and that
revised population statistics would
show a much larger public served by
existing Libraries, as the compilation is
based on the 1910 census. It is indi-
Gated, however, that the growth OF
population in the wide areas without
pubic library service probably would
tend to keep the percentages, as an
nounced by the Bureau of Education
| very nearly constant. In view of the
rapid industrial development which Is
bringing into the state an increasing
number of new Americans of foreign
birth who must depend upon public
libraries to give them their education
in the English language and in Amer

need for library facilities throughout

Oil the PuddIes.
A few mosquitoes have made their
appearance in Tarpon Springs within
the past few days. We don't like to
admit that they are here, but. while it
is true we have comparatively few mos

rains are followed by warm weather
and at such times we often have more
mosquitoes than we need and more
than it is necessary to have. Always
at this time of year there is talk of
