A DAILY MESSAGE
eY DR.. WILLIAM z. BARTON
STANDARDS OF VALUE.

The study OF anatomy is an indls-
pensable part Of the preparation OF
physician for his life work, and some
knowledge of 1t is good for olner
people.
Every medical student, bordering
over his Gray's Anatomy, is told that
nd man really learns that massive text
book until he has forgotten it three
times. AS a further crumb of comfort
he is in formed that Gray himself
failed on his first examination in anat-
omy. AS a means of knowing anat-
omy, the dissecting room is a recog-
nized adjunct to the work of the class
room.
It is said that the average medical
student, when he once gets fairly into
his anatomical work, becomes 1ncap-
able of meeting and conversing with
any human being without thinking,
while he, talks, how this particular per-
son would cut up.
That is the same sort of mild obses-
sion which the same student under
goes when he thinks himself possessed
of all the diseases which he studies
about.
That stage of learning passes. And
that is fortunate. Long before med
ical student becomes a physician he is
able to meet his friends without men
tally saving their bones or hacking
into their tissues.
But medical students are not the
only people who thus appraise
humanity It is easy to think of men
in terms of the tons of coal they can
mine or cubic yards of earth they can
remove, or otherwise as economic
units.
It is indeed necessary that there
should be men who are fewers of wood
and drawers of waters. and it is proper
that they should at times be considered
in their relation to the tasks they are
capable of performing.
But human life is more than mate
rial for dissection. It is more than so
much muscular energy applied to gain
full pursuits.
The first and final estimate of men
and women, and of all things relating
to human life, is in terms not of eco
nofnic production, but of joy or pain,
of hope or despair, of development or
DETACHMENT of humanity.

cUeA's INDEPENDENCE ANN
VERSARYs

Cuba celebrates today, the nine
teenth anniversary Of her indepen-
dence, and incidentally holds the in
augural ceremonies of the newly elect
ed president, DR.. Alfredo Zayas.
The Island Republic is looked upon
by the people of the United States as
younger sister, and besides the fact
that many natives of the island are
citizens of this country, and whose
homes and interests are here now, the
commercial business done with the
people of the republic link the two
countries.
1t was wholly through the aid of the
United States that Cuba threw off the
yoke of the Spanish empire. and this
fact has on many occasions been re-
ferred to by grateful people.
Cuba was one of our allies in the
sacred cause of upholding freedom and
democracy for all the people of the
world, and naturally we ought to con-
graduate the Cubans on this day, and
hope the new administration of the
Island Republic will prove a great sue
cess.

CAN WE AFFORD
AN EDUCATION?
BY P. P. cIaxton, U. S. Commissioners
of Education.

OF Education
At the average rate paid in the
United States as whole in 1918, we
would pay for the public school edu-
cation of each child for the time il
enters school until it quits the elemen-
tary or high school, an average some
what less than $50. For public schoo
education and for college, university
professional and technical education
We would pay at the 1918 rate, for each
individual an average Of $440.
But many children get very little
education. The schools they attend
are short, teachers are poorly paid, and
therefore incompetent. Houses and
equipment are inadequate and schools
are unsatisfactory in many ways
These children get much less than
their share of the average.
Before we can hope to make the
schools satisfactory and provide for
our children the education demanded
for good citizenship. for democracy
and for industrial efficiency, we shall
have to spend an average of not less
than $1,000 for the elementary and high
school education of each child, for
higher education, general. technical
and professional, and for extensional
education for those who cannot go to
college or any other school of higher
education. enough to make up an aver
age of $500 for each individual, making
a total average of $500 to be paid for
the education of each individual unit
of our population. At this rate the
total annual expenditures for educa-
ton would be approximately three and
one-quarter billion dollars, whereas
the total in 1918 was less than one
billion dollars.
This amount seems large. Can we
afford it?
The total wealth of the United States
is approximately $500, 000, 900 900; the
total annual income about $4,000, 000,-
600; both are increasing rapidly.
Neither one per cent of our total cap
ital wealth nor four and one-half per
cent of our annual income should be
considered too much to pay for the
education of our children for citizen
ship, for making living, and for the
individual happiness that can come
only to those whose minds and bodies
have been. properly instructed and
trained.
Since the money paid for education
is. after all. taken not from what we
of this generation would otherwise use.
but rather from that which we would
leave to our children, is it fair and
just to them to take SO much Of their
money for their education? Would it
pay them as an investment?
At 81 years old the life expectancy
is nearly "A years; that is, those who
are alive at 81 years live to an aver

average Of 44 years of life. all pro-

MAYBE BLACK EYE HELPED

Yesterday the senate passed the re-
lief bill for former Sheriff Van Pelt OF
this county, carrying a total of $1,000
for compensation FOR him during the
time he was out of office, because OF
suspension by former Governor Cats
The bill involved the principle between
paying grosS and net compensation
and has been hard fought.
There is no doubt that the "unfor-
tunate affair" in Pensacola few
night ago brought to the notice of tie
people in Tallahassee this bill for re-
lief, which originally called for some
thing like $4,000, and but for this at
fair might possibly not been noticed SO
much, and have been granted for the
full amount asked.
Anyway, The Journal takes credit
for assisting in the saving to the tax
payers an amount of approximately
$4,000.

SUCCESSES.
BY Berton Bradley.

They have never had much money,
they have never won to fame,
But their lives I'd call successful in
the big and vital way;
And whatever was their fortune, they
have met 1t as 1t came;
And Whatever was their fortune, they
NV have met it as 1t came;
They have known their share OF
sorrow, but their hearts are
young and gay;
they have hoped and dreamed togeth
er they have laughed and they
have wept,
And their love has never failed, and
1t will not, till the close;
They are old and bent and wrinkled
but through all the years they've
kept
The pollen on the butterfly, the dew
upon the rose.
Somehow their simple annals have a
SAVIOR or romance
Since they joined their hearts in
marriage more than forty years
ago.
For they still can find a magic IN q
touch or In a glance
And the glamor of the honeymoon
has never lost It's glow;
They are only common people with a
common sort OF life;
They have worked in hum-drum
fashion as their calm demeanor
shows,
But through all their plodding progress
they have kept. as man and wife,
The pollen on the butterfly. the dew
upon the rose.
To their brood OF sturdy children they
gave love and trust and care
And they taught them truth and
honor and to walk the path of
right,
To their friends-and friends were
many-they gave out a goodly
share
OF warm and sweet affection and
a cheer forever bright,
To each MISUNDERSTANDING, faith of
every question free
And the little flame of passion
which true mating always knows
So they've kept their dream unfaded,
they've preserved for all to see
The pollen on the butterfly and the
dew upon the rose!
