ISN'T LIKELY TO BE ANSWERED

The Miami Metropolis propounds
the following, which isn't likely to be
answered, to State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Sheats:
"a number of weeks ago, the Me-
tropolis asked, in behalf Of the chill
dren of Florida, and of Florida school
teachers who are honest and capable,
for the publication of the report of
that committee appointed last summer
to investigate the work of the Flying
Squadron'-the travelling examiners
who pass upon the qualifications of
Florida teachers.
"a copy of the editorial was sent to
w. N. Sheats, state superintendent of
public instruction, and to Governor
| Hardee, but it brought no reply and
!, no explanations. Something seems tc
| be decidedly rotten in Denmark il
connection with the work of that Fly
| ing Squadron and the effort on the
part of the state superintendent tt
prevent the people of Florida having
the report of that committees investi
cations doesn't look good at all.
Numbers of teachers who have ha'
experience with the alleged examina
ton for teachers licenses in Florida
under the system now in vogue, ar
dissatisfied with its work. Injustic
of various kinds are reported, and tn
committee was appointed for the un
derstood purpose of getting the fact
| for the public.
"Just why does Mr.. Sheats refuse t
give that report to the people?"

The several hundreds girls, attend
ing the Michigan City, Indiana, high
school, without a single exception,
have signed a pledge which taboos,
until high school and college days are
ended, all forms of masculine famili-
arity. The girls are perfecting an or
ganization which will be a permanent
auxiliary of school activities. The
movement was started by lecturer,
who plans to perfect similar organiza-
tons in all high schools in Indiana

Indiana is a nice state, but it is no.
ticeable that more people come to
Florida from Indiana than go to In

The Associated Press office in Jack
sonville informs its Florida newspa-
pers that construction in the state
during 1921 easily exceeded the $40,-
100000 mark, reports from ten cities
alone showing building permits issued
to the value of $22,915,836, a figure
that is regarded as far below the actu-
al cost of the projects authorized in
asmuch as the proposed cost given
when building permit is obtained in
Florida unusually is from twenty-five
to seventy-fve per cetn less than the
actual outlay.

1t is reported that our Florida SEN
ators are trying to obtain for R. Hud-
son Burr a place on the interstate
commerce commission. We hope, if
the report is true, that they will not
succeed. Mr.. Burr is more of poll
tician than statesman, and on the
interstate commission he would not,
in the Stars opinion, bring the state
any credit nor do the country any
good.

THE TOWN YOU ARE LIVING IN

phil Armstrong in Times-Union)
Speak a good word, brother, for the
town you're living in.
While some are using hammers toot
your horn above the din,
Just show 'em you're booster from
the Land of Boosterville
And shout the old towns virtues from
your housetop on a hill.
It's giving you your living, then why
should you knock the place,
And go around complaining with a
long and souring face.
The trains and boats are running out
of it each single day,
And nobody's got you chained to it if
you would go away.
Don't knock the town you're living in
and spread the mournful news
That every mans profiteer and it
gives you the blues,
Just pack your cigar box of things
and do not try to stay
And like the Arab fold your tent then
softly steal away.
But if upon the other hand you want
to snatch success IN
And salt some bones away and be
somebody too I guess
You'd better give your horn a toot
your hammer throw away
And say this is the best town in the
good old U. S. A. -
