AT DESK AFTER
WEEKS ILLNESS

We are, indeed, glad to welcome
back again to school our faithful SUI
perintendent, Mr.. Jones, after a
weeks illness. On Monday morning
Of his arrival he thanked the faculty
and student body for the kindness
shown to him during his absence
Though Mr.. Spence supervised as
best he could, we were pleased to see
him mount the platform Monday
morning.
So many people are glad to see the
Johnny j. Jones show in Lakeland,
most especially the pupils Of l.. II. S.
Would il not have been good time
for Mr.. Jones to have taken inspec-
ton one morning this week?
DR.. Wilson, chairman of the local
school board, and its other members,
were here Monday discussing cases
Of discipline with Mr.. Jones. There
being only about one per cent of such
cases in the Lakeland schools when
statistics allows about three or four
per cent.
On Tuesday morning we were glad
to welcome DR.. Wilson to our plat
form where he gave us a very SPLEEN
did address. he using as his subject
THE One Per Cent Cases of Discip-
line in All Schools In this he stated
that in the majority of schools, it is
the one per cent, that the time is usu-
ally devoted to, instead of the better
pupils, which are scarcely ever heard
of only as they go out in life making
success. He also stated that if it were
possible we were going to have a
central school building by the next
school year, which statement we hope
will prove to be true There are now
fourteen grades that only have one
half of day of training on account of
the lack of space.
On Friday morning We had with
us Rev. w. B. Curtis of the Episco-
pal church. He gave u very splen-
did address on What Is the Purpose
o. your Life which was very inter-

deep attention.
We are always glad to have people
like this to come to the platform, de-
spite the fact "htat we are SO anxious
to get to our lessons. -
The senior class is now manifest
ing an esprit d corps. They have
class meetings each Friday afternoon
