A Visit to Silver Springs.

A Visit to Silver Springs.
! said last week I'd like to tell the
readers of The Journal about some
of the things have seen during my
travels. No one seems to object so
/ am just taking room, space and lib
erty enough to tell you of my visit
to Silver Springs, Florida.
Silver Springs, as it is so Familiarity
called, is the most wonderful place
think L ever saw. The spring is said
to be about nine miles long, emptying
into great river and is something
like one-half or three quarters of a
mile wide. They had at the time
was there motor boats built on the
plan of steamboat. Also glass
bottom row boat.
1t is kind of resort and bathing
place in summer. On our arrival we
caught boat and took sail clear
down the spring and back. l just
cannot express the wonder and beau
ty of the place,
shall try to give a description as
near as ] can how it looks. Around
the water front underneath the water
is the most wonderful green vegeta-
ton growing. Just the same as grass
growing on land right here in Cobb
county. After going out in the spring
you can just see the water boiling up
out of the ground and it just seems
to reflect all the colors in the rain
bow. The water is cold and clear as
crystal and never gets muddy. One
can see silver dime in the deepest
part.
The old native Floridians say they
have never been able to find the depths
in the deepest part of the spring, yet
it only looks to be or 6 feet to the

MILLER TOQUIT
ASSCHOOL Head
President of State Board
Will Retire as Result of
New Law
INCOMING BODY WILL
COMPRISE PARTY MEN

George 3. Miller. president OF the
State Board OF Education. today said
he expected 10 continue in office until
the end of his term. July 1. and then
retire.
Under the new school law. passed
by the Legislature, two Republicans
and two Democrats are 20 consu-
tute the membership OF the state
Board OF Education THAT would in
dicate." said Mr. Miller. that only
one Republican would be named from
the northern part OF the State. and
the logical man for the position by
reason OF his gifts 10 education in
Delaware, his interest in schools
and his attainments Is Pierre S.
dupont"
Asked n he thought Mr.. dupont
would serve, Mr.. Miller replied he
could not say
1t Is unfortunate" said Mr.. Nil
Ter, but only five copies OF the new
school law have been typed. The
exact provisions OF the law are as
yet unknown 20 me. From what
1 have CLEANED. however. ! believe
the present members OF the state
Board will stand by their declaration
TO retire az the end OF their terms
and decline e-appointment."
Under the new law. which. Mr.
Miller said he believed Governor
Denney will sign. there will be no
county superintendent or count,
boards.
Such an arrangement will max,
the work OF the new Board OF Eiu.
cation especially onerous." said Mr.
Miller, "and will require much tim,
on the part OF its members"
The law does provide that IN,
Board may appoint officials neccs
sary 10 manage the schools. Undc
| this arrangement the work now per
formed by county superintendent
may be done by officials dcsignatei
by other titles. Nevertheless, d
Mr.. Miller's opinion. the persona
work OF the members OF the Boar
itself. will be much increased.
Mr.. Miller further said that IN
state Board had been asked TO pro
vide a school budget. For the pres
ent board. however. 10 draft such
budget for an entirely new body I
put into effect would be manifest
unfair. As a consequence II Is prob
able the present Board will merel
resubmit the present budget.
Mr.. DUPONT is out OF the city an
his personal views as to his futur
course with regard TO educational al
fairs could not ho asccrtaincd.
