THE BOULEVARD APPROACH

Condition of our streets and thor
oughfares has been improved in the. last
year. Even strangers and those who come
to Key West only once in while have re-
marked the improvement. In general the
streets are cleaner. there are not quite so
many holes and ruts and the curblines
have been frightened up by the tree
planting program.
However, there is one thoroughfare
welt Boulevard 1t is the highway ap-
proach ID the city. 1t attracts immediate
attention. Tt should be the show window
that attracts favorable attention. AS it
now strikes the visitor it gives the impress
sion of an approach to dead town. 1t is
anything but attractive.
The palm trees are whiting and ap-
parently dying Their fronds are droop-
ing yellowly Tall grass has been allowed
to grow up around the base of the trees
Old slabs of concrete at some points are
piled around the planted plots.
Experts inform us that the palms
need fertilizer. The grass needs cutting.
The plots need trimming and attention
The concrete slabs should be removed. The
whole job does not appear to require
either much fertilizer or great deal of
laborXr The idea of rehabilitating the
boulevard approach should be investi-
gated as soon as possible.
If there is any money left under the
tree-planting program fostered by the Key
West Garden Club it might very we'll be
applied to this work. 1t would be a shame
to let the boulevard palms wither and die
for want of little fertilizer. It certainly
would be shame to let little grass mar
the appearance of our front door.

SOME EARLY SCHOOLS

One of the first laws passed in Am
erica in the interest of education was en-
acted by Massachusetts, Bay Colony in
1647, and required all towns with so or
more householders to appoint teacher to
instruct children to read and write. No
special qualifications were set for teach
ers, and the pay was miserably small.
Even before this law was passed Ded-
ham, Mass, had free school supported
by taxation, the teacher receiving $66.80
year. In most cases, however, the town
paid portion of the expense and the
pupils made up the remainder through
tuition fees. The record of one school
shows that the tuition charge was 81 cents
for three months.
Closely following Massachusetts,,
similar schools were established in the Con-
necticut colonies and in 1857 the New
Haven colonial court ordered that each
town not already maintaining school
should open one and pay one-third of it's
expenses, the rest to be paid on a per
capita basis by families served.
Plymouth Colony later on provided
school money by leasing it's fisheries on the
coast thus raising about $50 year. In
New Amsterdam, now New York, the
first schools were supported by the West
India Company, but controlled by the
Dutch Reformed Church.
These were also dame schools" "
taught by women in their homes, these
teachers receiving as little as 10 ShillingS,
or $1.67, a year. In 1852 the salary of
President Rogers of Harvard University
was fixed at $516 year, one-third of
which was paid in provisions or other
goods.
In the early elementary schools only
reading, writing and the Bible were
taught, those who desired to learn arith-
7netic being obliged to resort to a special
"ciphering master"

Fort Myers and Orlando have

The need for recreation for

work is stressed. Below the sixth
grade Supt. Walker of Orlando

NO END OF CIVILIZATION

How many people heard the prop
hecy, before the European war broke out,
that great war would be the end of
civilization?
Well, the idea is debunked by DR..
James B. Conant, president of Harvard
University, who recently assured his listen
ers that we are not facing the end of
civilization He told his young students
that the nation in which they would earn
a living would not be radically different
from the United States as we now know it.
Every once in a while college presi-
dent makes statement that demonstrates
the intelligence that is presumably re-
quisite in his office. DIR. Conant's OBJ
servation falls into this category.
