smaller and more easily { managed
classes. !
Tho report sent to President Prall,
of the Board'lof Education, by Mrs.
Rogers Bacon, chairman of the wom-
ans committee, in June, had this to
say about Public School b.:
This school, in an uptown, growing
neighborhood, has registration, of 81
500. The building is about twenty-five
years old, with an annex built fifteen
years later. 1t is very much over
crowded. Three sessions are necessary
daily, and then the schoolrooms are
crowded, as many as seventy pupils
put into one room. The kindergarten,
supposed to accommodate twenty-seven,
has class of sixty. While the physi-
cal construction of this school is fair,
it is badly in need Of repairs and there
are no provisions for physical education
and recreation. What play-yard there
is cannot be used, as there are four
classrooms in the yard and it is con-
stantly used by the changing classes.
There is only one small room for the
use Of teachers"
At the present time 115th Street, be-
tween Lexington and Third avenues, is
shut Off from traffic in order that the
school children may use it for play

didn't trouble him at all. Chatterer,
u am sorry to say, is not at all hon
est. His first thought was to take
them away at once. Then he de-
cided not to. He knew that whoever
owned them would leave them there
until after the harvest was over.
"The thing for me to do" said he
to himself, "is to leave these alone
for the present and find another
place to hide my own. Then l can
get my share of those on the ground
and later take these away"
So Chatterer found new hiding
place and went to work as busily as
ever, but all the time he managed
to keep watch of that find. He
wanted to make sure whose store
house it was. When he left it he
put the leaves back; Just as they were
before, SO that no one would sus-
pect he had been there. And as he
scurried about this way and that way
looking for the little sweet, brown
nuts hidden under the leaves on the
ground he chuckled.
"Some one is going to be surprised
one of these days. Yes, sir;s some
one is going to be surprised when
he finds an empty storehouse," And
not once did he feel the least bit
ashamed over what he was planning
to do. Findings keepings," he kept
saying over and over to himself.

Bedtime Stories
Chatterer Makes Find
By Thornton W. Burgess
Be not dishonest cen IN thought,
But alsOays honest as yoW ought.
Old Mother Nature.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was
getting his share of the little, sweet,
brown three-sided beechnuts. What
ever faults Chatterer may have, lazi-
ness is not one of them. He isn't
afraid Of work. None of the Squir-
rels is. And he is thrifty. None
of the Squirrel cousins is more
thrifty than he. If he has to go
hungry in winter it won't be because
he doesn't do his very best to pro-
vide against such possibility.
Now, Chatterer doesn't believe in
putting all his supplies in one place.
He always has several storehouses.
Then if anything happens to one he
will still be sure of not having to go
hungry. So after he had filled two
or three secret storehouses he
stopped hunting the little. brown
nuts long enough to look for another
place in which to hide them. He
wanted place close by where he
could hide them only until the har-
vest was over. Then he would take
them away to one Of his private
storehouses nearer his home. It
would take too long to go way over
there every time he got mouthful.
There were too many looking for
tHVco oWCCt- istttS IlutSs 4Ou sec
Chatterer was wee bit greedy. He
wanted all he could get.
So he scurried about looking for
q place to hide some more nuts, and
presently ne discovered an old stump
that looked as if it ought to have a
hole between the roots. Between two
OF the roots were some dead leaves.
Chatterer pulled them over to see If
there might not be a little hole
underneath. And when he did that
he gave a little squeal of surprise.
There was q hole there, or at least
there had been one. But it had been
filled to the very top, and it had been
filed with those delicious little
beechnuts!
Chatterer knew at once that ne had
found a storehouse of one of his
cousins. He looked about hastily.
No one was near. No one saw him
there. He chuckled. Findings keep
ings," said he, and chuckled again.
Now of course he knew that he
had no real right to those nuts. He
knew that they belonged to either
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel or
Rusty the Fox Squirrel. But this

The conditions in this school were
described minutely in the report sent
to Aiming S. Prall, president of the
Board OF Education, last June by a
committee composed of representatives
of twelve women's civic organizations,
but no effort has been made to improve
them. p
AT the present time there are, ac
cording to the official statistics of the
Board of; Education, 3,377 pupils being
instructed in the school. OF this NUM-
Der only 2.2S3 are on regular sessions.
The kindergarten, which is supposed
to accommodate "a children, has 80.
On the makeshift double session basis
there are sos pupils and $50 other pu-
pills are on strict part-time instruction.
No repairs have been made on the
building during the; present admins
tration. ,sThe roof is .leaky and badly
in need of repair, One stairway can
not be usedson rainy. days. Despite this
neglect, however, the interior of the
school is excellent because ofsthe con-
stant care of the principal, the staff
of teachers and the janitor.
On the assembly floors there are
classes of seventy, but two teachers are
assigned to these large classes. De-
spite this, however, there is not the
same efficiency in instruction as in

OPENING THE WAY

Announcement that the State Road Department
has determined on policy of completing what IS
known as the short route of the Dixie Highway
from the city Of Jacksonville 10 the ST.. Marys
river, the boundary line between Florida and Geor
sia. is of vast Importance to all Florida for the
simple reason that at the present time this route
is the only one afordng access to Florida with
direct connection with existing paved Flouda high
ways. 1t will not be a great while before it will
be possible to drive directly north from Polk
county through the West Coast counties and on up
into Georgia but that time Is moi yet meanwhile
il is of value to this section Of Florida to have at
least ono real highway INTO and out Of tho stale.
Then. again, there is an immense tide Of aulomo-
bile traffic from the Atlantic scaboard states that
must come into Florida through eastern Georgia.
Waycross is the logical hub in southeastern
Georgia TO which highways from all directions
center Then when Georgia meets Florida in this
matter of road improvement the Dixie short route
will prove delightful and pleasant avenue 10 the
Land of Flowers incidentally the Florida
ton of the highway will be paved by the first Of
September while Georgia promises to do still bet
ter by reaching the ST Marys bridge at Folkstone
the first of June Floridians now know that every
foot of paved highway anywhere in the state is
sssst that much of an asset in attracting and
desirable people to come and be one of us

As OthneFs See II,
OUR sfeNouTHED BASS ~
(FlOrida Fisherman

The big mouthen bass in Florida waters is per
haps the most valuable fish in the state to the
angler. He is a fine old warrior and prize
worth while. He inhabts practically all the
fresh waters of the state where he has not been
exterminated. He not only is prolific and hardy
i'll Florida, but he inhabits the waters OF the
American continent from the far north in Canada
to the tropics. Consequently anglers visiting the
state know his reputation and habits, his likes
and diskes better than any other fish in our
waters His reputation and character is big
asset to Florida little appreciated by the business
man who profits indirectly by selling goods to
the thousands who are ured here by his attrac-
tive qualities. Any old timer will tell of the
abundance in which his tribe existed in the near
past. Today he is rarity in waters close to mar
kes because any crew with sufficient nets can
surround lake block a stream at night and,
with little fear of moestatiOn, beat it in his truck
to Ybor City. Jacksonville. or other points, and
dispose of his loot. What would it be worth to
Lakeland and Orlando if the beautiful lakes they
arc proud of well stocked with big
mouthed bass as they once were? Neither of
these cities is doing blessed thing to protect
itself or develop this great resourse If they
had desire to resOre them there is not a fish
hatchery in the state expert employed by
the state who could advise them. Nor will there
ever be until they and other communities wake
up and demand that the legislature do its duty.
At least they go record favOrng a law that
they cannot be sold If it not for such
law protecting quail how many would there be
left now? Bg-mOuthed bass are to the fresh
waters of Florida what the quail is to the land
its premier wild life Growing about it to the
ncghbor is not worth Il rap. Don't let the next
session of the legislature expire without an Of
fort TO get something done. Project our good
friend Big-mouthcd Bass. and let him have him
who captures him in fair battle.

1t is from such places as southwestern Texas,
where the products must be sold against sharp
petition, that the most complaint is heard Cab
bage in the lower Rio Grande valley sell for
about So per ton at the field. 1t costs $l8 per
ton to ship them to Fort Worth or Dallas, and
ST per ton to St. Louis, with an additional $40
per car for icing.
In Florida, Citrus men estimate that their
losses on account of increasing rates will aggregate
ten million dollars. Of course large part of
this charge is shifted to the buyer, but it has the
effect of reducing the demand for citrus fruits by
increasing the final selling price.
1t is to the interest of the growers, here and in
other sections which depend upon an outside mar
ket, that prices to the consumer should be kept
down as much as possible. Such situations should
be remedied or the growers will quiz raising bulky
produce and devote their attention to raising pro-
ducts which, as the Kansas farmers used to say
can go to market under their own power.

WESTERN MEATS

When a customer at restaurant grocery de-
mands western meals, and will accept no other it
is not only knock at the business of the cattle in
eresls OF this state but it is a reflection upon the
state itself Ii points 10 a situation which can and
must be remedied.
Discussing this. the Florida Metropolis says,
There is no good reason why Florida beef should
not also be distinctive in its qualities. But h'sI
there must be an elimination Of the cattle tick--a
powerful menace to the industry-and it is lament
able that more definite steps have not been taken in
this direction"
But there is still another reason Western meal
comes with a guarantee Of quality. Every Gus
toner knows thai each carcass has been Inspected
that no diseased animal has been used, and 10 IN
sanitary practices permitted in its preservation
Good Florida meat is equal TO tho best produced
anywhere, but the state laws and its inspection syS-
lem do not compare with those prescribed for inter
state traffic To enter The field as a rival TO the
western producers, Florida must first eliminate the
tick, then ii must provide adequate inspection and
enforce the maximum of sanitation at the slaughter
house and indeed, at every step till the meat is
taken in hand by the ultimate consumer. When
it does that this state will soon cease to be an i'm
porter Of western products.

WOMEN PLAN LEGISLATION FOR COMING
SESSION
(Florida Mctropolis)

The Duval County Federation of Women's
Clubs has prepared slate of legislation they
will sponsor in the coming session of the legisa-
turc. The legislative committee of the federation
has made a report in which they ask better mar
riage laws, an increase in mothers PENSIONS
eight working day for all under 16 years of
age and other constructive and necessary legis
lation. . @
They also endorse compulsory cattle tick Grad
fcation laws for. the preservation of forests and
game, and the 1OOfoot right of way to Pablo
Beach,
The Federation of Women's Clubs is powerful
organization and is composed of women who are
leaders i'll every walk of life. They make care
full study of conditions before making recommen-
datlons and the items they have decided to push
at this session are all worthy of more than pass
ing consideration. The women OF Florida are not
actuated by any desire to grind political axes or
to secure special legislation to benefit any one
class. Their work is unselfsh and they are work,
ing for the good of the state.
