NEW SCHOOL FOR MARATHON

That Florida keys are facing a sub
stantial development is seen in the an
nOuncement of the Monroe County Board
of Public Instruction that it has allocated
funds for sponsorship of federal project
for $4,000 schoOlhouse at Marathon. The
school will be large enough to cover the
needs of so pupils, although now only 20
attend the school in temporary quarters
there.
Businessmen of Marathon have sug-
gested site on property held by the Over
seas Read and Toll Bridge District COM
mission, not far from the district head
quarters While this site fronts on the
present road, heavily travelled artery, it
will be off the highway when it is moved
to the old right of way of the railroad.
Members of the highway commission
favor giving the site to the Board of Pub
lie Instruction at the nominal price of 81.
However, this step would have to
be approved By three agencies: the State
Board CT Education, which must approve
of all school sites; the National Park
Service, which is identifying the highway
under coming ordinance adopted by the
highway commission, and the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation, which loaned
the commission the money to build the
highway in that locality.
Under motion adopted by the board
B. N. Duncan, who has been reappointed
manager of the highway, has been directed
to confer with w. A. Parrish of the Mara
thon Chamber of Commerce, and Melvin
E. Russell, superintendent of public in
gtruction, to select a site of not less than
three acres, the minimum demanded by
the state, but running as near four acres
as possible, and proceed with other ar
rangements necessary to complete the
deal.
The Highway commission is to be con-
graduated for its prompt approval of the
suggestion in virtually donating a site for
the Marathon school. There is no question
but that Marathon will grow into very
prosperous community. 1t seems clear to
many observers that a school for 60 pupils
will soon become Overcrowded. The Citi-
zen hopes sO-mOre power to Mara
thOn!

VAMOs A EsTUDIAR ESPANOL

With the completion of the first-year' S
trial course given in Spanish by the faculty
at San Carlos Institute, comes the news
that similar courses, for young and old,
will be conducted next year. The Citizen
is ir accord with this move and it would
like to see larger classes of those who
would learn the language of all of Latin
American countries.
San Carlos school, it is said, is the
only school of its kind in this country
maintained as it is by foreign nation,
Cuba And it is we'll that this school
sponsors these classes in Spanish. Where
else could you expect to receive better
training than from scholars educated in
Havana with a complete knowledge of
their subject at hand?
Then, too-learning Spanish, es-
pecially in our city, with its Latin-Amer-
lean atmosphere is in line with President
Roosevelts Good Neighbor policy towards
nations to the south of us. 1t compliments
those nations. and yes, at the same time,
opens up a vast field of future enterprise,
if we should so choose.
The next big drive for wOrld-cOm-
merce-control will be aimed at Central and
South American nations. the economists
tell us, so it appears quite imperative that
the language of those nations be learned
Better entree to the homes and business
houses of these countries will be accom-
plished if we know their language. The
Germans have long realized that point in
foreign trade relations, and by reason of
that insight. have progressed far towards
amic9ble relations.
No matter who wins the war. the
swing will be, as we have said, towards
exploitation of Latin-American resources.
So, to be in on the ground floor, this nation
might very well take time out now and be-
gin to study the ways of those countries
and, to above all, learn to speak their Ian
guage.
San Carlos Institute is doing a fine
work in pioneering the Spanish classes in
this city. We can hope that the example
we set might be picked up by other cities
elsewhere in this country. At any rate,
let's resolve now to spend few hours a
week next season and become acquainted
with the language of our neighbors-the
Latin-Americans.

That the kind of lightning war now
being staged by the Germans in Europe
could be brought to the United States as
President Roosevelt told the hushed legis-

The expression savors of emotionalism in

First we must remove from our minds
the phObia of fear that we cannot keep
out of this war. We can if we will. Then
we must destroy the fifth column" lurk-

Lastly, without hysteria, strengthen our
army, navy and marine corps to such
proportions that no nation or combination
of nations will dare attack us by land, sea
or ar.
