Hon. P. X. 7onge, of Pensacola, has
again been honored by election as
chairman of the state board of control.
Mr.. Yonge was chairman of the board
several years ago, and it was under
his direction that many important i'm

system were made.
Pensacola people are fully cogni-
zant OF Mr.. Yonge's untiring efforts
for better schools and remember his
work during the past few years for

educational system. He is a member
of the board of trustees of the Pensa-
cola special tax district, and was ac-
tive in having such a district created
in order that better school buildings
might be available for the children OF
this city.
The state board of control is to be
congratulated on it's selection of so
able a man as Mr.. Yonge for it's head

AIR STATION INCREASE.

The announcement of an increase in
the appropriation for the naval air
station at Pensacola is welcomed by
Pensacolians because II insures an in
crease in the number of men employed
naturally. but it is also welcomed be-
cause it assures the permanence OF
the station here.
When the navy department spends
100000 for permanent improvements
and new construction it indicates that
the advantages of the location here
are recognized in Washington and that
political influence will not deter the
department from continuing a station
which has been uniformly efficient in
the conduct Of its business.
The prime purpose of the Pensacola
air station is to train men for the av-
iation branch of the navy. That the
purpose is being carried out is indi-
Gated by the fact that every few weeks
men are qualified as aviators and sent
to the fleet or to other stations for
duty. The various branches of the fly
ing school here are well organized and
the work is so well systematized that

like regularity.
Officers at the station are averse to
public mention of their individual en-
.deavors, but Pensacola people have
been uniformly pleased with the I'M
failing courtesy of Captain II. H.
Christy, the eommandant. and all OF
his officers. Capt. Christy has repeat
edly gone out of his way to aid in var
ious civic affairs, and has taken great
interest in every activity Of the nu-
merous commercial organizations of
the city.

the ocean and settle In the wilderness,
Bradford writes, 'But they knew they
were pilgrims, and looked not much
on those things, but lift up their eyes
to we heavens, their dearest cuntrie,
and quieted their spirits; for they had
other work in hand, and another kind
of war; to wage and maintaine.'
We are apt to think of the Pilgrims
as severe, stern people, strictly viz
tuous yet lacking in the gentler quail
ties of the Christian character, but let
us recall a well known instance which
proves that forbearance, patience and
tenderness were their strongest char
acteristics.
In November, 1921, only year
after the Pilgrims had landed, a ship
bearing thirty-five new colonists ar
rived. Not one of them had tools,
food or clothing other than for his
immediate needs. Yet the forefathers
shares with them as brothers, and as
a result there was not time during
the next two years when they were
not in great need OF food and clothing.
The Pilgrims showed what their
standards of character were when they
chose their Elder, Mr.. William Brew
ster. He was a Christian gentleman
who had gladly sacrificed social posi-
ton, suffered Imprisonment, and gone
into voluntary exile for we King
dome of God and Religions sake"
Bradford's description of his lifelong
friend is most satisfying. I'm teach
ing he was very stirring and moving
the affections; also very plain and
distinct in what he taught, by which
means he became the more profitable
10 his hearers" OF Brewster's SYM
pathy and kindness, Bradford writes,
HE was tender-hearted and compass
sionate of such as were in misery, but
especially OF such as had been OF good
estate and rank and were fallen into
want and poverty, either for goodness
or religions sake. But" adds Brad
ford, none did more offend and dis
please him than such as would
haughtfly and proudly lift up them
selves, being risen from nothing, and
having little else in them but a Few
fine clothes or a little riches more
than others"
Surely we can tell our children OF
M nobIer heroes than the Pilgrims,
whose character is best described by
those words of James, first pure
then peaceable, gentle, and easy TO be
entreated, full of mercy and good
fruits. without partially and without
hypocrisy"
For those who would know more of
these courageous people we recon-
mend William Bradford's History Of
Plymouth, published by the MASS
Historical Society, Boston, Mass.

CHILD TRAINING
IN THE HOME
The Pilgrim Character
(By Olive Robertsl

Next to the fugitives whom Moses
led out of Egypt, the little shipload
or outcasts who landed at Plymouth
are destined to influence the future
OF the world. James Russell Lowell
When an American of today reads
that volume which was written three
hnudred years ago, William Bradford's
History of Plymouth-he is apt to
wonder how he would conduct him
self If he were placed in a situation
similar to that of the Pilgrims when
they decided that they must leave Hol-
land. But he knows very we'll that
neither his own early training nor that
which he is giving his children is con-
ducive to the development of the most
distinguishing characteristic of the
Piigrims-absolute conservation to an
ideal
Persecution, imprisonment and their
own desire and determination to Sc
cure religious freedom had taken the
Pilgrims to Holland in 1907. There
they had been safer and happier than
in England, for at that time Holland
was more advanced intellectually than
any other country of Europe and I'M

the Pilgrims admired the Hollanders
and enjoyed their "faire and bewtifull

and riches" they regretted that their

traditions and language of England

ment based on republican equality and
the preservation to posterity of their
own customs and ideals were dearer
to them than peace and safety in Hol-
land; in 1920, therefore, they under
took a second and a greater exile.
How many Of us, for the love of God
and loyalty to an ideal, would have
the courage to part forever from the
comforts of civilization, leave many of
those who were dearest to us. take a
dangerous and seldom tried ocean voy-
age, and make a home in the wilder
ness-in short, voluntarily go into

THE SOLDIER BONUS.

President Harding's speech to con-
gress in which he urged that no ae-
ton be taken on the bonus, expresses
in explicit language the reasons why
the government should not be burden
ed at this time with billions of dollars
of expenditures for able bodied ex-
service men. The government should
provide at once for the disabled and
dependent but, as President Harding
says:

months, contemplating conditions

three things are essential TO the very
beginning of the restored order of
things. These are the revision, includ-
ing reduction, of our internal taxation,
the refunding of our war debt and
the adjustment of our foreign loans.
1t is vitality necessary to settle these
problems before adding to our treas

plated in the pending bill.
