PART-TIME SCHOOLS FOR WORK
ING CHILDREN.

One of the most progressive of the
recent movements in compulsory edu-
cation has been the passage by many
states of continuation school laws.
which afford child who has left
school for employment opportunity for
further education by providing part
time compulsory schooling for spec
flied number of hours each week. Some
Of these laws apply also to unemployed
children or children who are no longer

quirements. A brief analysis of the
continuation and evening school laws

attraction. The season just closed
hundreds of cities with less than half
a dozen nondescript stage attractions
for the entire season. This year even
this number will be cut down. If 1t is,
the theatre will go out of existence. It
is not improbable that American lovers
of the drama, like American lovers of
grand opera, will be denied every OPP
portunity to enjoy their art without
visiting New York, Chicago and the
other more fortunate cities. This fact
is not generally known and it should be
known. The drama must not die, and
yet it will die unless there is a more

Alabama is Emancipated FROM
Cotton's ThraIIdonn.

The annual production of cotton in
Alabama was around 100000 bales
This years crop will be about 418,-
900, which is one million bales less
than the former average. Our cot
ton production has been cut by two
thirds.
The farmers began diversification
in earnest before the World War, but
diversification was not sufficient of
itself. 1t became evident that if di-
versification was to fulfill it's prom
Uses, there should be better business
methods in marketing. Much atten-
ton has been given to that problem
in the past few years with good re-
suits.
Cattle and hogs were first to ben
eft by businesslike selling. County
agents established cooperative sales
days, on which hogs and cattle Were
assembled and graded for carload
shipment. The meat packers of the
large centers learned to rely on the
county agents word as to grades and
the result was the top price of the
ruling market for the Alabama pro-
duct. Local merchants, VINO had for
merly dictated the price, Were
forced to pay the Chicago and ST
Louis price, less the freight to those
places.
Then peanuts Were shipped by car
load, according to grade. Next the
sweet potato problem was taken up
Curing houses were built and the po-
tatoes are being sold at a profit in
the spring markets. Fruits and vege-
tables shipped in the same manner
bring good prices. Finally the farm
ers have been buying fertilizer in bulk
for cash.

PEELED, to establish part-time schools
and to require attendance. The age
limit to which the compulsory atten-
dance provisions apply varies, 10 of

IL states up to 16. The amount of at
tendance is from to hours weekly;
the laws of each state either specify
or imply that this period shall be

working hours.
In states, the law permits no ex-
emptions, in the other states, the ex-
emptions vary, 8 excusing child who
has completed the eighth grade.
Only II states now provide for ev-
ening school attendance, the progress
which has been made in day and con-
tinuation school laws having obviated
this need to a great extent, at least
for children under 16. In most of
these states, the law covers only min

PRESS COMMENT
Whose Fault Is It2


'Its an i'll wind that blows no one
good" says the old saw, and reason
ing along that line we may presume
that the closing of the Jacksonville
Packing plants and the limiting of
tn sales of Florida cattle to the home
left open to us, will force the price
of beef down to a very low point to
the consumer. While this may give
some temporary relief to the con-
sumner, it will work an equally great
hardship on the producer. The facts
Of the case are that Florida has been
given long period of grace in which
to get rid of the cattle tick, and she
has persistently refused to do so, as
result, the cattle men of the state
now find themselves cut off from all
the great markets of the country,
thereby placing them at very great
disadvantage in the stock raising m
dustry. And until the state shows Its
determination to overcome the handi-
cap of the cattle tick, which, by the
way, is not nearly so difficult a matter
as many people imagine. there is no
hope for the cattle industry in this
state. 1t has become clean cut
fight now, as to whether the cattle
tick or the cattle industry in Florida
shall be eliminated. And it is largely
up to the cattle producers to say which
it shall be.-Milton Gazette.

MUST GET RIGHT IDEA

There has lately been manifest in
many quarters the mistaken idea that
the credit situation alone is the funda-
mental cause of the present retarda-
ton of business activities generally.
states the Guaranty Survey, monthly
review of world wide business and fl
nancial conditions issued June 9th.
by the Guaranty Trust Company Of
New York. The necessity for read
justing underlying industrial condi-
tons, seemingly, is not thoroughly UNI
derstood. Instead of a proper con-
centration of effort on this primary
task, a number of legal measures are
being proposed which would render
this readjustment more difficult. Some
of these proposals have as their pur-
pose the arbitrary limitation of the
discretionary powers Of the Federal
Reserve Board.
There has been introduced in the
House of Representatives for instance
a bill which would prohibit Federal
Reserve banks from charging member
banks in any transaction with them
greater rate of interest than five
per cent. per annum. The passage OF
this bill would automatically deprive
the Federal Reserve banks of the pow
er they now possess for controlling
initiation. The inevitable result would
be to rcreate conditions under which
money panics might bet precipitated;
and one of the chief purposes fof
which the Federal Reserve system
was designed is the prevention OF such
panics.

Growing Necessity for Wild
Life Preservation.


The Fort Pierce News Tribune asks:
Why not make the whole state of
Florida a game preserve? And in
telling why it should be done, this
paper says:
TT would be a distinct and popular
service to this and succeeding gener-
atoms. The state is fitted geogra PHI
ically and c1imatically for this sort of
a preserve. The animals and birds
that should be killed are well known;
all others should be preserved in per-
petuity by the laws of the state. Let
there be call to the next legislature
that cannot be ignored. And let all
the people join in this call"
The wild life of America is fast
disappearing. which is proved by
the statistics issued from time to time
and in some states already only do
nestle animals and birds r1ay be
found. Gradually the many forms OF
life, that once were to be found mall
sections of this country are disap-
pearing-and little effort is being made
to preserve them. A few states have
enacted laws, but the majority as yet
have passed up the preservation of
wild life in a wholesale way. and Flor
ida~is part of this majority.
Unless drastic laws are enacted and
enforced with preservation in view
in few years few forms of wild life
viii be present. which will awaken
the various legislatures to the necessi-
~ of action. In the meantime, how
