EXPERIENCE in
FITZGERALD OPENS
WAY in FLORIDA

Prof. U. J. Bennett, former Super
intendent of Schools here, will be
principal of the schools of Fit. Lauder
dale, Fla, which state has had the
foresight to so plan it's public educa-
ton program as to make the county
the unit and keep control of its edu-
cational matters in the hands of one
department of the state, plan
which has been consistently advo-
Gated by this paper ever since the
present management has had posses
sion of it's editorial policy.
Prof. Bennett will also have in his
direction the establishment of the
free school books for all of the pu-
pills of his city, up to the 9th grade,
Florida having adopted statewide
free school book system, which begins
it's operation with the opening of the
Fall term. The experience with
handling free school books in the
class rooms of Fitzgerald will be a
great advantage to the new principal
of Fl. Lauderdale. d.
Prof. Bennett is an able school
man, though we had lot of'tropble
to convince some Of the members of
the Board of Education when we Sc
cured his first appointment to the
job here.
