tiOn, Stressing the Value
of Character.

Escambia County Has Spent in
Past Year More on Schools
Than Ever Before.

With the auditorium taxes to It's
capacity many standing throughout
the program, the dedication of the new
Pensacola High School building viii
go down in history as one of the most
impressive ceremonies ever conducted
in the city, which after many years of
effort and struggle towards better
educational opportunities, has just en-
tered upon a new cycle Of achieve
ment.
II anything was needed to impress
upon the public mind the splendid po-
pOrtunities which are now being Of
fered the youth OF the city. in con-
trast to the years that have gone be-
fore, it was found yesterday in the
splendid talks which We're made by
men who have been one with a past
which, If it lacked much of the OPP
portunity of today, made up for that
lack in the strength and vigor Of the
men it produced.
The principal speaker of the after
noon, Chief Justice jefferson j.
Browne OF the Florida Supreme Court.
whose full address appears elsewhere
in these columns, spoke with the force
and conviction of one who have gone
far, and in the associations which
nave been his, has found that charac-
ter and culture and not always sy-
nonymous, and that the study hall is
but the beginning and not the end OF
education.
In his talk the chief justice stressed
the value Of character, the power OF
mentality when allied with that mo-
tive power which makes for better
living and higher thinking, and point
ed out the danger which turks some
times in the school room, when edIca-
ton is based on anything less fUnda-
mental than Christian ethics.
Chief Justice Browne spent his early
manhood in Pensacola, and has many
friends here who were among his aud
ience yesterday afternoon, and heard
his address with interest.
DIR. F. G. Renshaw, master Of cere-
MONIES was in his happiest mood, and
introduced the speakers of the after
noon, prior TO which he gave a short
resume of education during the early
days Of Pensacola, when a small city
of three thousand souls.
In very jocular vein, DR.. Renshaw
called attention to the fact that in
those days of a simpler period Of Iiv-
ing, the buildings were small and few,
but the men who were given instruc
ton in the little one story school
houses had held their own in the bat
tie of life, and that the girls Of that
day were equally as bright. beautiful
and charming as any girl of the mod
ern Pensacola The pictures which
he drew of those early days were di-
verting and pleasing, and eiicitad
much applause.

& Agrees 10 Complete and Operate
Plant Under Indirect Gov

WOULD RAISE MONEY
BY SALE OF BONDS
Redemption Would Ultimately
Reimburse Government for
All Money Spent.
(ey The Associated Pressl

FLORENCE Ala, Jan. "a plan
whereby the Construction Company Of
North America would complete Wilson
dam and hydroelectric plant at Muscle
Shoals and enter into an agreement TO
operate a portion of the property
under indirect government supervision
was outlined here today by G. G. Tink-
Ter, In explanation of his company S
proposal to Secretary Weeks.
The offer, Mr.. Tinker said, was a
business like proposition which we
are assured will receive careful con-
sideratlon from the government"
Money necessary to complete Wilson
dam and the power houses under the
proposal would be raised by the sale
OF an issue of 25-year searial per
cent bonds secured by the Muscle
Shoals project. Redemption of these
bonds would ultimately reimburse the
government for all money spent, the
bidder said.
The company would operate the hy-
droeIectric plant under the direction of
q board of control consisting Of five
mmebers, two of whom would be
named by the government, two by the
company and the fifth by the four so
selected The board would determine
whether the construction work should
be extended to include dam No. and
whether the nitrate plants should be
operated.
Mr.. Thinker is understood to look
with disfayor upon the construction
of dam No. 3, giving as his reason
that engineers Of national reputation
have said the foundation is not stable"
Mr.. Thinker is president of the con-
struction company. In company with
It. @. Hitchcock, vice president and
chief enginer, a minute inspection Of
the property was made today. These
officers of the San Francisco company

strued in the competitive sense as
being comparable TO that made by Mr..
Ford. While Mr.. Tinker and his
agents are scheduled to lay their offer
before Secretary Weeks in detail this
week, department officials are Of the
opinion that It win prove 70 be more
Of a bid for contract construction work
than for private possession and opera

Secretary Weeks has repeatedly de-
clared in favor of disposing of the
properties In a way that will relieve
the government of responsibility for
their completion and at the same time

private management to the Industrial
advantage Of the country. He has
also declared frequently his opposition
to asking congress for further appro-
priations so that the government might
complete the projects and operate
them as a government owned and
controlled business. Under the Tink-
Ter proposal as interpreted in part by
the department, the government would
ut least become half owner and would
have to make available the money re-
uuired to complete the work, which is
variously estimated from S300,000,

QUIET FUNERAL
is PLANNED FOR
FORMER SOLON
Date for Burial Will Be An
nOunced When Relatives of
West Are Heard From.
(ay The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-Arrange-
ments. for the funeral of Senator Pen
rose were still. incomplete today. 1t
was definitely decided, however, that
ii should be strictly private, in ac-
cordance with his oft-expressed wish.
In making this announcement,
leighton c. Taylor, for many years
the senator's private secretary, said
that only members of the family and
friends would attend the services and
that a congressional delegation prob
ably would not come here for the
burial. The date for burial would be
fixed, Mr.. Taylor said, after hearing
from relatives in the west.
Meanwhile the body of the former
senator, encasei in a metallic coffin,
coxered with a purple cloth, lay in his
bachelor home here. No crepe or flow-
ers marked the presence of death in
the old fashioned brick house where
from a sick bed he had conferred by
telephone with national republican
leaders at the Chicago convention
which nominated President Harding.
Every wish of the senator for sim
plicity has been respected.
Expressions of regret at his death
continued to pour In today from all
sections of the country. None Of them
was made public by his relatives.
Governor Sproul said he had not
decided on Senator Penrose's success
sor. Under the law the governor is
empowered to make an appointment
to fill the vacancy until the next gen
eral election, which will be held in
November.
