EDWARDS RETURNS
FROM CAPITAL
AS Member State Teachers Association
Legislative Committee Has Little
Hope for Wanted Legislation.

A. S. Edwards, county superinten-
dent of public instruction, just back
from Tallahassee where he attended
the session of the legislature as one
of the three members of the legislative
committee appointed by the State
Teachers association, says indica-
tons are that the measures asked for
the support of the schools will hardly
be granted, as asked, by the present
legislature.
But as a measure to assist in re-
lieving the present shortage a bill has
been introduced, Mr.. Edwards says,
the text of which is the recognition by
the state of teachers certificates is
sued in states which recognize certifi-
Gates issued in Florida.
The present legislative session seems
interested in the educational problem
of the state, Mr.. Edwards says, and
number of bills having as their OBJ
iect some form of relief are being dis
cussed but indications are that there
will be little real legislative relief
given. One bill which has already been
introduced is the teachers annuity and
retirement bill.

CROOKS SOLICIT
AS STUDENTS
Claiming to Be University Students
Crooks Solicit Magazine Sub
scriptions.

DR.. A. A. Murphree, president of the
University of Florida, has issued the
following statement:
Information has just reached us
that there are three young men, claim
ing to be university students, travel
ing over the state soliciting subscrip-
lions to a magazine. They claim to
be on their Easter vacation and that
they are engaged in competition in an
alleged scholarship contest. They re-
ceive So for asubscription and disap-
pear. We understand that one of
these men gives his name as Fred
Tuscany.
This is to warn the public against
these three crooks and to state that
these men are not University of Flor
ida students and that the university
has no Easter vacation. University
authorities will be grateful for the ar
rest and apprehension of these men
who are travelling under false pre-
lenses in the name of this institution.

ARE TO HANDLE
PUBLICITY BILL
BY JOHN c. TRICE.

TALLAHASSEE, April Ex-senator
F. NJ. Igou, of Lake county, and Rep
resentative J. H. Scales, of Perry. will
handle the publicity bill which has
been endorsed by the Florida Press
association and the South Florida
Press association in the interests of the
tax paying public. The bill has been
shaped up in tentative manner by At
torney General Buford and will provide
that county commissioners, city COun-
ellis, commissions, school boards and
other bodies expanding public money
shall cause to be printed in the papers
a copy of their minutes and of their
financial standing for the benefit of
the public.
eff there had been such a bill as this
in effect five years ago more than half
the school boards of the state would
not now be in virtual bankruptcy"
says one man who has looked the bill
over and who is in touch with the gen
eral financial condition of the state.
Representative Scales has gone to Mi
ami for a business trip but will be
back soon and the bill will be intro
duced in the course of the next few
days. Both he and Senator IgOu are
much impressed with the desirability
of the proposed legislation from the
standpoint of large taxpayers and will
push it to their utmost ability. Sena-
tor Igou has been a member of the
senate for several terms and is one
of it's strong men. His support of the
measure will add greatly to it's chances
for passage. No special canvass of
the legislature has yet been made in
behalf of the legislation and will not
be until the bill is introduced but
there is a friendly feeling toward it in
various quarters and it is believed that
if the bill is shown to have the gen
eral support of the press and the pub
lie it will stand a good show of pass
ing. Such laws are in effect in many
other states and have been for years
and they are said to have had gen.
orally salutary effect.
