a student all his or her life Research
and special courses use up time and
money, and altogether too many peo-
pie think the job begins at nine and
ends at three. They do not think of
the preparation for the teaching pro-
fession, the time spent in preparing
fol- the class room work and the time
put in with the blue pencil in the cor
rection of papers. This all, outside of
school hours, and many times into the
| wee hours of the morning and some
times on Saturdays and Sundays when
others are resting. 1t is slavish job,
and few business men would work as
constantly as the teacher unless he
were conducting his own business.
IF a business man had to live on
the salary, not considering the Incl
dental expenses which 1 have men
toned, he would starve. Yet many
teachers not only support themselves
but also help feed and keep their fam
lilies. To me the school teacher is the
greatest humanitarian in America.
1.-THE teacher is also the moulder OF
the students character. True it is.
the parents pray d great part uut GS
an educator can safely say the child
copies the ideals of Americanism from
the instructor and accepts the facts in
all subjects as coming from one of au-
thority.
1.-THE boy or girl will be an asset or
Ia liability to a community. If under
educated the junior citizen in time will
be a heavy burden to the tax payer and
to the state and nation. If this same
student receives a good education,
equivalent to that given in the best
educational systems of the country it
will not alone be an asset to the city,
county, state and nation, but he will
have a fighting chance and if oppor-
tunity presents itself such a man or
woman will reflect credit upon the city
of Pensacola.
America will be just so strong as
the individuals who go to make up the
nation are. / know that the people OF
Pensacola are progressive. I know
they really and truly are live Ameri-
cans and that they wish to hand down
this wonderful heritage to worth
while citizens. I feel sure they will
see to it that their school systems will
continue on a thorough financial basis.
I also feel sure that progression in the
education institutions will continue,
But please ask them to think of those
they loved when children-their
teachers"

In the past the domestic producers
have been protected from an influx
of too much imported sugar by
tariff OF one cent per pound. Those
proposing the 90 per cent increase in
the sugar tariff say that the domestic
producers need greater protection.
Opponents of the increase in the

have to pay. declare that subsidy is
being sought. not protection, mas
much as domestic producers who
cannot supply all the sugar America
