GREAT INTEREST
In SCHOOL BILL
IN LEGISLATURE
PRACTICALLY EVERY FAMILY
IN STATE INTERESTED IN
MEASURE SPONSORED BY
ADMINISTRATION
(By Florida Press)

TALLAHASSEE, May 4.-The
administrations school bill intro
-duced by Senator Getzen, as Sem
ate Bill No. 1873, has created out
standing interest throughout the
entire state. Practically every
family in Florida is personally in
terested in this measure.
Large delegations from every
section of the state were present
at the joint committee hearing
held in the auditorium of the
house last week. The main floor
and gallery were packed to over
flowing.
There were a large number of
speakers at the meeting, among
them DIR. Fons Hathaway, former
superintendent Of the Duval coun-
ty school board; Chas. NJ. Fisher,
superintendent Of public instruc-
ton of Dade county; O. j. Sem
mes, president of the State Assoc
citation of School Boards; and
many others. Representatives of
the school system generally are
not in favor of the bill and ex-
pressed strong opposition at the
hearing. The feature of the bill
that would centralize the powers
Of the state educational system in
Tallahassee. was sharply criticized.
Objection was also heard regard
ing school boards giving their
services free.
All agree that the schools of the
state as a whole are in bad shape.
Many county systems are heavily
in debt. Teachers in many sec
tions are unpaid. Schools are
closing, or have closed, with less
than full terms.
The measure is now in the
hands of a joint committee and
while number of substitutes and
amendments have been proposed,
it is reported that little Roadway
has been made. Probably several
important changes will be made
before the bill is reported for floor
discussion. Some officials were
asked by the committee to present
their own bill for consideration
along with that of the administra-
ton.
Governor Sholtz made it plain
that he presented the measure
merely as q suggestion, making no
demand that the legislature accept
his views. He stated. however,
that there was great need of con-
structive legislation in the Florida
school system at this time and he
expected the legislature to pass
some sort of measure along the
lines he recommended.

PROPOSE new
PLAN in SCRIP
HANDLED HERE
CERTIFICATES NOW WILL BE
STAMPED WITH NAME OF
FIRM OR ARTICLE SOLD is
EXCHANGE FOR SAME

Several merchants in Key West
who have taken an interest in the
use of scrip are stamping the GER
tificates they are using with the
name of the firm or the article
sold for which the scrip is taken.
One merchant is paying his en-
ployes in scrip and cash. The scrip
is stamped with the firms name.
This is a guarantee that the firm
will accept the scrip when pur-
chases are made.
President Leo Warren in COM
pany with others intends to make
canvass of the city suggesting
that all merchants do this, there
by assuring the use of the scrip
and guaranteeing its acceptance
by others.
Stamped thus, it is believed that
all merchants will readily accept
the certificates in trade as the
stamp is an honor guarantee that
the firm whose stamp is Impress
ed on them will readily accept
them.
Another thought. voiced by Mr..
Warren, is to place funds in the
First National Bank and issue q
notification to the effect that all
scrip carrying the full number Of
stamps can be redeemed at the I'M
stitntion.
This idea Of Mr.. Warren's may
be put into effect next week, he
told The Citizen today.

BRITISH CHILDREN WANT WAR
TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS Gifts

LONDON. Dec. 7, U.P) - There
will be no disarmament this Christ
mas-at least in Britain's nurseries.
Stores, already displaying their
Christmas wares, report that toy
soldiers, guns, tanks, airplanes and
forts-in fact, every modern en-
CINE of war in miniature-are SELL
ing like hot cakes.
Britain may claim to be the most
disarmed of the world powers after
Germany, but her children prob
ably will be the most militarily
equipped this winter.
Forts seem to be most in de-
mand SO much so that early
stocks already are sold out, and the
manufacturers are working over
time.
The military toys are not the
gaudily painted, impossible looking
horses and curiously formed things
of the past. They are correct to
