Griselda was a character OF romance,
noted for the patience with which she
submitted to the most cruel ordeals as
n wife and mother. The subject has
been variously treated by Boccaccio. Chau-
GEL Dekker and other writer's. The song of
Patient Grisselr' appeared about 1865 and
n prose history shortly after. Griselda was
tho most popular OF all the stories of the
''Decameron." In the fourteenth century
the prose translations OF It in French were
very numerous. Legrand mentions that he
had seen upward OF twenty under different

AS Others See 1t
a sTATE BUDGET FoR EtoRlDA
(Tampa Tribune.


Several years ago the Tribune began urging
the adoption of scientific state budget for Flor
ida 1t has urge dthis of each legislature for the
past many years, and always rested confident in
the belief that ultimately Florida would give up
its dangerous costly biennial omnibus appropria-
ton bili." for budget that defined and provided
for the real needs of the state.
1t has repeatedly urged the coming legislature
to act intelligently ON this demand and one of
the platform planks of Governor Hardee, when
he was but candidate Hardee that gave the Tri-
bune most assurance that he would be good
governor was that declaring he favored and
would work for state budget.
1t is, therefore, with pleasure that the Tribune
publishes communication from Hon. NJ. L.
Dawson, secretary to Governor Hardee, showing
the status of the budget idea with regard to other
states, its need in Florida, and pointing out the
kind Of budget legislation that. should be enacted
to give this state what is best in the line
The Tribune is heartily in favor of the idea,
and is glad to see it being publicly agtated Es-
pecially is it gratifed to see the agitation coming
from one closely connected with the governor,
as to make it seem most probable that all the
Communication conveys is, if not inspired" at
least with the approval of the who promised
to provide the system if possible

THE LOGICAL PLACE

If the location Of Sutherland College depended
upon the highest cash bid Lakeland could not hope
to compete successfully with other cities having
Two or three times its populaion but if the welfare
kof the college is the chief aim in view Lakeland
seems to be the logical place for it.
Polk county is headquarters of Mehodism in
Florida. Its population is mainly clean-cut, Am
erican, thrifty enterprslug, progressive, with high
moral standards and an earnest desire for better
educational facilities Located at Lakeland Suth-
erland would have the most favorable site to he
found anywhere in Flonda-on the highest eleya-
ton in the state, with exhilarating air pure wtter
fine lakes, healthy surroundings and beautiful seen
cry. 1t would enjoy the advantages of police prs
lection, medical attention, excellent churches, good
entertainments, city water, electricity gas and
itary advantages.
Polk countys unrivaled system of highways
would put it in easy communication with many up
io-date towns, like Barlow Winter Haven, Null
berry, Auburndale Lake Wales and half score
of other places from which it would draw large
percentage of its students
1t Is hardly necessary to say that this county
would appreciate the honor of being chosen as the
location of this splendid institution. Backed by a
church membership of over six millions in the Uni
ted States. conducted by educators who rank
among the foremost of the country, ranking with
the first grade universities and colleges in scholar
ship, Sutherland already enjoys deservedly high
prestige which would steadily increase under the
favorable conditions here and be reflected in the
enhanced reputation of this city and community.
There are no assgnabe limits to the success which
it could achieve nor the benhts which would accrue
TO the population living under its influences
Polk county is willing to contribute to the extent
of its ability to secure this college. This city is
prepared to offer the choice of number of desir-
able sites all favoraby situated and within easy dis
tance of the center of Lakeland More important
STILL the people Of this county and city are prepared
to welcome and cherish the institution and stand by
it to the utmost

HOW GOOD ROADS HELP

Good roads mean better country schools. They
mean lower prices to the city for country
products. They mean vastly improved social
life to the farmer. his family and his employees.
They mean general improvement in farm
life both to the tightening of labor and the en-
oyment of the better things of life, because they
will be much more easily attainabe.
1t is estimated that more than a billion dollars
have been appropriated for good roads programs
The national, state and city governments, as well
township, sections are going ahead with it,
Something like five hundred millions will be
available this coming season
The cost of labor, material and the ability of
transportation systems to make good will figure
in the ultimate outcome, but the movement for
good roads has momentum that only completion
the country will stop.
The owners of 100000 passenger cars. of
100000 motor trucks of whom the owners of
100000 cars and trucks farmers, know that
in this day and age the mud road is not for them

CAN WE AFFORD 1T?

The average school term in Florida is ] 30 days.
according to lbe World Almanac. In Iowa it is
1870 days. The average attendance in the two
states shows still wider margin in favor of Iowa
Just consider what these figures mean The av-
crage Iowa child attends school fifty days more
each year than the average Florida child AT the
end of his primary grades he has attended four hun
bred days more, or twenty school months. The
high school figures are not at hand but at the very
best tie term is month longer there than here
Thus, by the time the two pupils finish their high
school studies the lowan is twenty four months
ahead of the Floridian.
Suppose they both go on to the universities
When the Florida student has completed his fresh
and sophomore year and proceeded lwo-thirds
through his junior year he has had exactly as much
schooling as the Iowa student had at The beginning
CT his freshman year; and when both graduate the
Florida student has had just the same amount of
schooling that the Iowa boy had when he was one
third of the way through his sophomore year.
these figures may not apply TO any individual
case. They relate to averages But they show
why the college and high school diplomas in Flor-
da are at discount compared with those issued
in states which have longer school terms.
They raise the question whether the young men
and women of this state can enter business and pro-
fessional life equipped to meet the competition of
other young men and women whose educational ad-
vantages have been so much better
Most important of ALL however. they state
condition which can and must be remcdied When
the whole world is looking to the school room. as
never before, for the solution of the problems upon
which the very existence of civilization depends, the
state of Florida not afford TO permit any con-
siderations to stand in the way of her full duty to
the rising generation.

THE HOME MARKET

Other things being equal, the most prosperous
state is the which supplies the largest proportion
of its home needs. This rule requires some quail
hcation, it is possible for some one product to
be of such overshadowing Importance that it pays
to produce it and buy anything else But the ex-
cepton does not apply because one article can be
more probably produced than another.
Our country has proved the truth of this in many
localities In the cotton belt, general prosperity has
failed to reward the farmers who concentrated their
efforts upon the cotton crop alone. In the tobacco
regions specialization brought in much money but
the sending Of away TO buy necessaries kept back
progress. In the northwest where the wheat crop
seemed to be superlativeIy profitable that all
else was neglected. the practice of one crop farming
was abandoned when it was found that wheat,
alone. did not build up communities.
Florida's future will depend in a large measure
upon the extent TO which the state profits by these
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-03-10

and other outside experiences. The great aim Of
the state should be to supply its own needs first,
a necessity which is made much stronger by the in
creasing cost of transportation. 1t is merely ques
ton of utilizing opportunities Florida can produce
corn, all things considered, about as cheap as It
can be produced in Kansas. 1t ought to do it. In
stead of striving fer twenty million bushel crop it
ought to produce hundred millions.
1t can produce feed stufs cheaper than it can
import them. 1t could can its own fruits and vege-
tables as probably as it can send to Maryland or
Iowa for them. 1t could supply its own markets
with both sweet and Irish potatoes. 1t is almost
a disgrace to have to bring eggs from Tennessee,
poultry from the Chicago packing houses. or honey
from the north.
1t is no answer to say That we are shipping early
vegetables and fruits at big prices, and have the
money TO pay for the things we bring from abroad.
We could sell the fruit and vegetables just the
same, and keep the money at hime, if we produced
the other things needed to supply the people.

Oh, forty learned professors toied on, the long

night oil was burning that they might gather

carousers assailed the winners yats, and they
wore baggy trousers and prehistoric hats; for men
of learning never get much for their endeayor

Dempsey calmly seizes two hundred thousand
bones for whipping sundry cheeses or inefficient
drones; but, OH the men of learning! They al
ways are returning to pawnshops with yearning
to get some transient loans. They soak their
