CRISIS IN EDUCATION.

The beautiful session of the state
legislature Is rapidly approaching. The
1921 session is certain to be one of
vital Importance to the state Of Flor
ida. Not only are such important COM
mercial questions as the no-fence law,
state budget, conservation, ETC., TO
como before the Lawmakers, but also
there is to be another question OF even
greater importance than all of these.
That IS the question OF What ere we
going TO do for our schools?"
The schools of Florida, and of every
other state as well, are facing a crisis.
The supply of trained teachers IS in
adequate, not because the schools OF
higher education have failed in their
duty but because the teaching profess
sion does not offer an adequate return.
AZ the coming session OF the legisla-
ture a number of suggestions for in
cTeasing the amount OF money avail
able for the pay of teachers will be
presented. The teachers have approx
ed several plans. One OF these is that
OF permitting an increase in the mill
age for school purposes. Another is TO
permit an increase in the size of the
obligations which sub-tax districts
may assume. The method will be one
for the Legislators to work out. The
need is urgent.
In many states, cities, and communi-
ties a considerable increase has been
made In appropriations for educational
Institutions. Salaries OF some teachers
have been increased from 20 to 60 per
cent but this is not sufficient, This
country is now confronted with a great
shortage OF teachers; 1t is the best
teachers rather than the poorest that
are lost to the profession, and their
places must be filled with those who
are less well prepared, have less nat
ural ability, less general education.

technical training.

but becomes more fatal now than at

normal school graduates is only rs per
cent or 80 per cent Of what it was in
1916.
Conditions are not much better in
the colleges and universities. The
shortage is particularly great among
teachers with special preparation for
industrial technical work. Industries
are paying much larger prices for
these than the schools pay.
For the increase of material wealth,
for the citizenship and welfare of the
nation and the people these conditions
must be remedied as soon as possible.
To do this win require from two to
three times as much money as has
been appropriated in the past for edu-
cation.

war, Waterloo seems a small affair. Yet
It settled the fate of the world for q
hundred years, and laid the foundations
of the. Rothschild fortunes, and did
some other things.
Nothing will impress the modern Wis
itor more than the fact that the lion
which marks the spot where the de-
cisive events occurred, has been turned
around. AS erected, he faced France;
and was intended as a reminder that
Great Britain had stood in that spot
and there had beaten Napoleon, and
that she stood ready to meet all COM
ers from his direction. But during
the world war, the lion was quietly
turned around. and made to face Ger
many.
This Is enough to make the ghost of
Napoleon smile grinly. He never ex-
pected to be called up on the ouija
board and informed of such perform
ance.

ance that the Lion Of Waterloo will he
content to face any one point of the
compass with perpetual roar in that
direction. Changes in European poll
tics may make it advisable for some
one to slip across the chanel almost
any dark night and erect a derrick and
face him with a menacing roar toward
some other nation.

discovered that Dicky and were mar
ried, instead of being brother and sis
ter as she had thought.
1t only needed this last little Incl
dent to enable me to classify Mrs.
| Allis. I mentally pigeonholed her as
| one of the women who take malicious
| delight in making other women un-
comfortable in every way possible.
| She was not a woman of whom I
could ever be jealous with the emotion
that had made me so hate Grace ORA
per Though Grace Draper had had
mad ruthless passion for Diclzy her
nature was not a petty one. But
put down Mrs. Allis as the Sinking,
feline sort Of woman who hurt peoples
, feelings in order to give herself the
same sort of pleasure that a cat would
have in playing with a mouse
If the womans petty righteousness
had been the only thing about her
which I had noticed I would not have
given her two minutes of tn ught, but
there was an indefinable something
about her, an elusive, furtive air that
made me suspicious of her.
Ridiculous as I knew my feeling
was, had a queer little intuition that
the woman was other than what she
seemed, that she had reasons for be-
ing at the peaceful farmhouse other
than her ostensible one of escaping the
city's heat.
To my intuitive dislike of the wom-
an was added the sympathy felt for
Mrs. Cosgrove. That Mrs. Allis, with
all the weapons of a woman of the
world at her command, was trying to
make the lonely older woman Of the
farmhouse uncomfortable, not only by
catlike thrusts at her cookery and
household management, but by her CO.

things as pleasant as possible for the

We had refused a third helping of food

do" he said, suppose you come along

pie I've seen think they're pretty fine"

TOOTH PASTES
SCRATCH ENAMEL
AND TEAR GUMS
Many People Are Trying this Little
Tooth Paste Test on Mahogany.

Take little of your tooth paste on
the tip of your finger or on your hand
kerchief. Rub hard for a minute on
the surface of any mahogany table.
You will find tiny scratched lines in
the polished wood. Tooth pastes and
powders do the same damage to the
enamel of your teeth, which nature
provided to guard against germs.
These dentrifices contain gritty ma
terials that wear small grooves in the
teeth, where germs can begin their de-
cay. Pastss and powders also tear
the gums. thus breaking the surface
of the membranes for more germs to
enter. Everybody knows smooth skin
is proof against infection. In this way
are planted the first seeds Of dreadful
mouth troubles, such as pyorrhea-
which was very rarely heard of before
tooth Dastes and powders were used.
Yet in spite of the warning of dental
authorities these troubles continue to
multiply.
Since these facts have been discov-
cred thousands are taking the only
right course to care for the teeth
brushing them with a liquid antisep-
tic. And now the finest germicide in
the doctors pharmacopoeia, Dobelrs
solution, has been made the basis of
a new mouth wash, Steroline Dobelrs
Solution was chosen as the chief in
gredient because Of it's great record as
a powerful antiseptic during the war.
Official doctors conventions for so
years have declared it an Indispensable
part of practice. But DobelPs Solution
is not good for general use except in
the form of Steroline, which allays its
unpleasantness, makes it delightful
and adds new ingredients that soothe
and heal the gums, and cleans9 the
teeth.
No tooth paste or powder can reach
more than 60 per cent of the surface.
This leaves 40 per cent that never is
cleaned. Steroline,' being a liquid,
penetrates to the most inaccessible
parts of the mouth and teeth, cleansing
and freeing them of germs, without
any risk of injury. Steroline is all you
need to insure sound teeth-and you
will find it a bracing pleasure to brush
with it. 1t also stops bleeding gums

PRESS COMMENT
Florida and Business

Florida and Business
While the Chicago Tribune's map,
placing Florida among the states with
an excessive amount of unemployment
seems to have been sufficiently ex-
posed, another map, issued in the cur
rent number of the Nations Bust
ness" published at Washington, COM
pletely offsets the Chicago papers as
pensions.
The business map shows by means of
shading the status Of business in every
state In the union. It shows, by black
coloring, all the states, with very
few exceptions. as in poor" condition.
Among the exceptions to that rating,
Florida stands with California, west
ern New York and Pennsylvania, a
part of central Illinois and two or three
other small sections, as fair. Only
one very small locality is marked
good" that is the territory immedi-
ately around Los Angeles, where the
tourists trade is probably more extern
sive than anywhere else on the con-
tinent.
Florida can ask nothing better than
this rating. 1t PLACES her ahead Of
elBhIy-IlNe per cent Oh the uaIloI,
makes her the one conspicuous aX-
ception to conditions that are general
throughout the south, New Egland, the
middle and far west, and the greater
part Of the north, and refutes the in
ference that there is any unemploy-
ment worth mentioning in this state.
AS a matter of fact, we, who live
here, know that F1orida's condition
never was more promising, in spite Of
the depression throughout the coun-
try, and the fact that Florida can hold
up her head when such centers as New
York, Chicago and Detroit are COM
planning Of hard times, ought to have a
profound effect up the opinion of the
whole country with regard to this state
