FLORIDA CAN DO 1T
(~a~rc T..EGca


The Lakeland Telegram calls attention TO Californ-
las forward step in the education of children by
adopting constitutional amendment which makes sure
a minimum salary of $3OO per for all teachers.
The motto under which the campaign ending in 2OO-
600 majority for the amendment waged was, "A
square deal for every child"
The average pay for Florida teachers is little over
5000 per annum. Less per month than many railroad
and shop employees draw in a week The state of Flor
ida needs to wake to the fact that it rich state,
SO far as its school financing ability is concerned The
school fund owns outright the states entire bonded in
debedness of little more than $6OO0OO and in addi-
ton owns all the of the public swamp and over
flowed lands of the static The sale of these lands jul
dlcously should suffice TO place Florida well above the
mark set by California its schools and the taxable
worth OF the state is increasing rapidly that the
school tax will soon take of the of the bur-
den.
The Lakeland Telegram, approving the California
movement, says:
What California has done Florida can do Excuses
no longer serve. Time when Florida in common
with other states impoverished by the war could plead
Its economic conditions when reproached for defec-
tive school syst IN. But that time is past Florida is
now rich and Pre-. porous Every child born in Florida
has as much right to educational advantages as the
child born in California elsewhere. though
may hurt to raise the funds the people Of this state
Flondians with educational deficiencies which will
place them AT disadvantage when compared with the
people of other states"
There is bill to be presented to the next Florida
legislature, asking for increase in the salary and
school equipment of the rural schools of this state
Little by little the institutions higher education and
the nigh schools and graded schools in the largest
cities have been raised fairly decent'pace in mint
o. pay and equipment. The country school out in the
woods has been passed by with "a shftlessDess that
smacks OF ignorance. 1t is from these school houses
That come the material for teaching staff and the pupils
oil the colleges. 1t is these that the state looks for
an enlightened citizenship.
When it is openly admitted that Catsism broke into
e state through the country rural schools and the
church out i'll the woods, ii becomes immediately evil
dent that there is the weak spot in our civilization
Make strong the country school the country church
and you have builded up civilization which the weak

TALKING SHOP

We all are fond of talking shop, when round up
together the shoe sounds his plantive yawp about
the price of leather the farmer spells about his crop
and walls about the weather. The cook in language
erse and quaint discourses of his frying the who
sells glass and paint has found conditions trying the
undertaken makes complaint that people have quit dy-
ing The doctor talks of saving limbs, and patients
revolutions the oculist of healing gms by magical
lutions the pastor talks of ragtme hymns and tight
wad contributions. And every fellow files a roar and
shows he's disseminated; the good old happy time of
by everyones lamented the cry of spirits worn
and sore is thus with ardor vented We feel we're
shackled up with grief by rusty chain and feter and
when from mumps get relief have dose of tet-
ter; and having paused to kick and beef all of us
feel better. We have to kick around while, have
to grumbe daily; have to work off surplus bile and
swear that life is scaly and then don the shelf
worn smile and do business gayly Our safety valve
we find in kicks, they soothe the human critter and
only superficial hicks think hearts are bitter;
we throw some harmless rocks and bricks and then
sing and twtter

A convention bureau service has
been inaugurated by the Florida De
yelopment board for the purpose Of
helping commercial bodies in the state
secure more conventions That IS a
good move. Several hundred national
conventions meet each year in the Uni
ted States. Florida is much nearer the
centers of population than some of the
states which are more favored by such
meetings. Its attractions and advan-
tages can not be exceeded anywhere.
Concerted effort will bring many con-
yentions to the state, and each one that
comes will be an unanswerable argu-
ment for the next one.

Has Florida signed up an arms
ice in its war on the cattle tick? If
not, it is time for a decisive battle.
With the recent action of the Louis
lana state authorities shutting of ihe
stale to cattle from tick-infested re-
gions, the last market for Florida cat
tie has been closed. The future Of the
cattle business in Florida depends up
on tick eradication Unless that is ac-
romplished there can never be any oat-
side market for Florida beef cattle,
and the state which possesses the great
est natural advantage east of the Miss
issippi for beef production will lose
what is potentially, at least, its great
est industry.

Nobody disputes the justice Of requiring Germany TO
pay, far possible for the damage she has done to
The world. But it is becoming clear-and the British
the first to notice -that in the long run taxing
Germany will be just like taxing an industrial institution
The burden falls first the factory but ultimately up
lis customers Germany could doubtless pay all that
France demands if given access to the worlds markets;
but she would pay of the profits of her trade The
result would be that the commerce of other countries
rompe'ion, ard the final outcome would be that. the
British would be paying tribute 10 France through Ger
many his is the first time The application Ct the well
known principle that charge on production is paid by
the consumer has ever been made on an international
scale, but it supplies something worth thinking about

If Shakespeare were alive today
would he be writing scenarios?

As a weather prophet the poor old
ground hog is rapidly becoming a back
number. The fact that his service is
free is offset by the fact that ii is rem
dered only once a year. He cant
compete on that basis with the paid
weather man whose guess IS registered
daily. Unless he can arrange to make
his visits more frequent he will eventu-
ally become as much disregarded as
Doctor Cook.

Before this paragraph is in print ii
is possible the robbers who made a haul
from the express Office in Tampa late
Friday afternoon, may have been APP
pretended and locked behind the bars.
1t should not be very difficult matter
to locate The culprits if they stick to the
big black automobile they are said to
have used in pulling off the 7 ampa
job because the means of exit from
Florida are so decidedly limited. We
hope the roberts will be caught, for
two reasons, the first because of the
beneficial moral effect and the second
because of the possible restoration of
the money to those to whom it belongs.
Incidentally this occurrence should
prove warning 10 all business con-
Germs handling large amounts of cash.
No personal reflection is meant against
any of the Florida newspaper fratern-
ity.

Unless some member of the COM

it would not add so many as to make

CHINESE Pupils STUDY ALOUD.

That Chinese students con their les

Eomena upon which our elementary
reading books and Biographies have ex-
patiated time out of mind These two
peculiarities of our Oriental brothers are
indeed the only facts relating to Chinese
school life that many of us ever had
clearly impressed upon us while we our
selves were being put through the edu-
cational process
As to the reasons for these eccentrici-
ties. however. both our books and our
teachers usually maintained a discreet
silence We had vague opinions of oW
own. Since the Chinese lived on tbs
other side Of the world, they did every
thing opposite to Us out of sheer per
yersity. That was al there was to it..
