you are right you can help make the
world right. Men to do right must
think clearly, Judge wisely and act
sanely in not only directing school

You may wonder why the world is
poorly governed, why incapable men
get power, why Ubiquitous business
practices are continued, and why
earnest and honest labor is poorly re-

and animals, and know their uses, and
knowledge of ourselves. with for
bearance and charity each for the
other, just so long will incompetence
rule, home lack comfort, and the land
lag in giving of its plenty.
Ready made remedies for our ills
are freely offered, but can ignorance
wisely decide what is best? The hope
of the world lies in education of the
whole people. No form of govern
ment can bring prosperity, happiness
and progress to an ignorant popula-
ton. Russia is country of as great
natural resources as the United
States. 1t is older, larger and more
populous. Why is it not wealthy and
powerful? Because 1t has an ignorant
population and whatever has been
done in development must stand to
the credit of English, French and
German investors who were able to
see wealth in the mines, forests and
lands, where the native Russian could
see nothing worth while. Mexico is
wonderfully rich in minerals, woods
and agricultural possibilities. Why
is it so backward? 1t has an ignorant
population. 1t has been said:
People talk about republics, de-
mocracies, empires and what not. We
might have the most ideal political
constitution in the world and it would
not raise us above the mud cabin if
the people generally were not eager
for education. determined to be be-.
hind no other people in respect of
scientific knowledge or culture.
Wealth, if they desire it, comes out

is no wealth in the world which does

SEEING OUR OWN STATE

For months the Times-Union has
been urging upon the people OF Flor
ida the advisability OF seeing their
own state, especially from the roads,
as a matter of information and for
the pleasure to be afforded by such
a trip.
Taking some of our own medicine,
We decided to enjoy our vacation
with a trip over a portion Of Florida
and since our return we not only ad
wise the people of Florida to take this
trip for the information to be derived
and the pleasure to be obtained but
we urge the trip as positive neces-
sity. in order that we may be able to
tell those who are unable to make
the trip and those who come here
from other states, what we really
have in Florida and how best to see
it.
A drive through sixteen counties,
over fairly good roads for the most
part, is liberal education in itself
and an eye opener that will surprise
even the most enthusiastic booster Of
Florida. In two weeks, taking II by
easy stages. we drove about fifteen
hundred miles and in that time we
had unfolded before us panorama
of scenery that is almost unequalled
in any section of this country or any
other country. The forests and foil
age are varied. the hills in the rolling
sections are beautiful and the myriads
Of lakes in other sections are fasci-
mating. as the long stretches of as
phalt or brick boulevards wind their
way through the orange groves and
skirt tho lovely lakes and pass at
lractive homes along the way.
Passing through forty or fifty towns
Of varying size and difference in char
aeter is a novel experience and the
stops in many of these towns and lit
tie excursions about them, furnishes
much food for thought and many sug
gestions for the betterment of our
own locality. The chats with the men
and women who are doing things in
these various localities, the little
story of their ambitions, the plans
that are in formation for the i'm
provement of conditions, are all in
teresting and instructive and lend
new zest TO life.
The progress that is being made in
the counties we passed through, both
in town and country. is positively
amazing. To tell of it properly would
take pages of newspaper and to

Education is a better safeguard of

The schools are starting now after
the vacation of the summer. Do par
ents know the teachers who will have
charge of their children this fall and
winter? Do they know the condition
of the school building and grounds
Are their children physically fit for
the tasks before them?
Fathers and mothers need to con-
slider seriously the training their chill
dren, and the children of their COM
munity, get in the schools. If they
are poorly taught time is wasted and
the usefulness and happiness Of the
man and woman of tomorrow are di-
minished to a degree hard to estab.
fish, The great hope of the country
the town, the city, the state, the ma
ton. the world, is staked in the well
fare of the children of the schools.
All over this broad land Of ours are
men and women who choose not to
know rather than to know, who seem
to fear any new fact or allow any
new understanding to get into their
head, who avoid Improvement and
take all sorts of pains to justify their
position and bolster up their igno
rance. Those who take this stand are
like the justice of the peace who lis
tened to the prosecuting attorney and
then refused to hear the defense, say
ing: I've made UP my mind, and il
listen to you, will get confused
and all mixed up again"
The old way is good enough to that
class who forget the fact that the new
is always coming to the front. You
can make a good deal more out of a
child by educating it, than by not
educating it. just as you can improve
potato by cultivating it. There is
no royal way to an education; othel
things can be taken by main strength
or bought with money, but knowledge
is only mad from study and applica
ton.

HEROES FOR THE NEGRO CHILD.

The National child Welfare assoclauon is about

negro children This comes as result Of the reali-

tories and even the stage and motion picture
dramas are an chiefly Tor and about white people.
When a negro character appears it is usually N

II is almost Impossible for white person to inn

New York. makes the announcement. This bureau
will cooperate with the authorities of every sta.e

from the larger cities to the farms and mining dis
tricts. The bureau of information of the immi-

confronted this country Of late years. Nevertheless
much good can still be accomplished by a care
