dwelling and other structures that
would be characteristic of the city's
latitude and climate, comes the an
nouncement of residence that is to
be absolutely unique, wholly tropical
in aspect, and of a style of archeitec-
ture never attempted here before.
The residence is to be erected by
d. M. Towne, a easterner who has
been making his winter home in st.
Petersburg, and who expects to occu-
by the new home the year around.

pont, architect.

A regular meeting of Clementine

State superintendent of temperance
and missions. Mrs. Winslade gave
an able talk upon 1.-The Child in Our
Midst in part as follows:
We are just beginning to realize the
great Importance of the child. The
older people were always first. Re-
wait until the older folks had their
meals, then the children were given
theirs. Children must keep silence
in the presence of their elders. No
provision made for them in our
churches until within the last half of
a decade. Look at our old fashioned
churches-absolutely no provision for
a Sunday School The little red
schoolhouse was the beginnings of
secular education-very primitive
compared to what We have today, yet
we realize that there Is yet much to
do along this line. We used to have
the Bible in our schools, now in most
states 1t has been eliminated alto
gether and in the others the reading
must be short and carefully selected.
