travellers from other sections will come to see our
native vegetation and bird life. Besides, nowhere
else in the world can more beautiful vegetation be
found than in South Florida. where the scarlet
hibiscus, the flaming bOgnonia, the gaudy poin-
ciana and the purple bouganvillia make masses of
color while for more delicate shades and frag-
lance we have the rose. gladiolas. oleander and
various lilies including the sanity Easter lily. with
ferns and tropical trees for background and shade.
In favorable, natural environment. birds of
gay plumage. rare song and mudtudes of wonder
fully tinted butterflies will make their home.
1t goes without saying that in Lakeland such
park should be on lake. where the charms and
recreatons Of land and water may be combined.

THE ToWNER-sTERLINC BILL

When you hear some one raging against the
Towner-Sterling educational bill, on the ground
that is another onslaught against states rights,
tell him that the TownerSterling bill specifically
states
"All the educational facilities encouraged by
the provisions of this act and accepted by state
shall be organized, supervised and administered
exclusively by the legally constituted state and
local educational authorities of said state and the
secretary Of education shall exercise no authority in
relation thereto; and this act shall not be construed
to imply federal control of education within the
states, nor to impair the freedom of the states in
the conduct and management of their respective
school systems.
