Gary Talks Sense.
Chairman Gary Of the United States
Steel Corporation, talks sound sense
when he says the country is in the
hands of the people. His recommen-
dations as to the qualifications Of the
next president are full of logic. Gary
is one of the great men in industries
who do not want everything for his
concern and is willing to help bring
prosperity in the United States, of a
lasting nature.-Florida Metropolis.
For Tampa to Consider.
The figures from Washington give
Miami population of 29,549. In 10
years from now, Miami will easily be
a city of $4,000 people, even though
Miami should grow at a slower rate
than she has done in the last 10 years
a most unlikely thing.-Miami Metrop-

congratulates Pensacola.
The general public OF Miami, who
have always closely at heart the i'm
portance and welfare of the city
schools. will be surprised and dis
pleased at the news of the resignation
of Mr.. J. H. Workman. principal Of the
High School and in charge of the city
schools. Mr.. Workman has accepted a
similar position in the high, school of
the city of Pensacola, at greatly in
creased salary.
In Mr.. Workman Miami loses and
Pensacola gains, school man of I'M
usual ability, both as a teacher and as
an executive. The excellencies of the
Miami High School, which have been
widely commented upon, are largely
due to the wise, efficient, energetic di-
rection of Mr.. Workman. The record
which this school has maintained in
scholarship we owe to his insistance
on a high standard. It's service to the
young people of the city in the ways
of vocational, as well as cultural train
ing, has been measurable. This
they owe to Mr.. Workman's broad
policy of well grounded, SER
practical education for the
future citizens Of our city.
Coming at time when the question
of the teachers is Of such tremendous
importance. Mr.. Workman's resigna-
ton is a serious loss to us. We have
learned that to omany of our teachers
have gone into other professions or
even trades because they could not
make a living as teachers. We have
learned that too many of our teachers
ton we must depend on poorly trained
teachers, for the same reason. But we
have prided ourselves that in Mr..
Workman we have a man of the finest
training and experience, who has not
been tempted from his profession by
material questions because he was too
earnest in his devotion to his profess
sion as a modern educator.

on her choice. while deploring the loss

Hurry Back TO Miami.
Mr.. William j. Bryan, it is an
nounced, is to be at both Chicago and
Frisco, in the interest, among other
things, of prohibition planks in the
big platforms.
But Mr.. Bryan must hurry back to
Miami, where his winter home is To-
Gated. For certainly Mr.. Bryan must
have heard the Miami news.
The census figures have increased
four-fold since 1910. When newspaper
men rushed there to find the meaning
of this remarkable development, they
were astonished.
Miami is a garden spot. Many rich
men are making it their home in the
winter and others are remaining there
all the year round This was the
statement of one Florida man.

anything he wants in the way Of good
