Throw your whole soul and spirit into jour work and do your work the best you Know how. 4. Form the habit of doing kind things every day to all the people who touch your life. > , Adopt and maintain a simple childlike confidence in God as your Father. UNSCRAMBLING KEY WEST The Key West Citizen, protesting only that it has all it believes is best for this. city sincerely at heart, is committed to a helpful and straight- forward movement in- co-operation with the Women’s Club, for a stitable city plan, Today this city is sadly but not hopelessly scrambled. Yet we are firm in the opinion that it can be judiciously and satisfactorily unscrambled, that this un- | scrambling should be begun at once, and that it will be so begun without delay. To this praiseworthy end, thoughtfully with our Women’s Club, it is our in- tention to be represented not alone by our com- plete Associated Press Service, but by special cor- respondents as well at the National Conference on City Planning in St. Petersburg the three conclud- ing, days of March, and in West Palm Beach on April 1. Messages front the most eminent city plann- ing experts in the United States will be brought to the people of Florida at the St. Petersburg Con- ference, and of all the cities in this state there is. none wherein we feel assured a competent city plan can do greater good in our fresh start forward than in Key West. A day or two ago The Citizen printed a second admirable article from the pen of C. W. Barron, the eminent New Ycrk publisher and financier, in which Mr. Barron predicts that just a few years from now Key West Island ‘alone will represent, because of the swift approach of the Oversea Highway, at least one hun: million dollars! _It is not within the scope of the untrained human mind to grasp the tremendous import of this astounding statement. Such a statement can only come from the mental archives of a man of faith and vision—of a man whose vision is founded upon faith. And this prediction of Key West’s im- pending future is based not alone on ‘the value of the attributes which God has bestowed upon Key West, but also upon the additional and essential fact that the millions of dollars in enhanced value must be, and even today are being, man-made. Therefore, as the dynamite crews and the dragline dredge gangs blast and dig and fill our mangrove lowlands and vie with Nature to weave a magic carpet of gold for tropic hémesites,*our City Fathers. must keep. step’ with the ‘developers from out the North in order that all these vast efforts for future good, concentrated here within the narrow bounds of an island in mid-ocean may blend, co-ordinate and grow under.a definite plan into a wonder-city built around a port far out at sea, a city rivalled by other only in esthetic beauty atid architectural charm, but ‘never rivalled” as to circumstance of climate and of setting. = CHILDREN’S READING Many parents take a great deal of pains to correct their children for all their visible faults, and yet these youngsters may be getting a lot of ideas that are wholly wrong from the books and magazines they read. A great deal of teaching | is done by such silent methods of approach to the” child mind, and a lot of it is not helpful, and some | of it is very degenerating. A great deal is going on in the minds of these youngsters that the parents have no cenception of. A child may be cherishing many dreams which will greatly influence his or her futuie for kood or for ill, without the parents being’ conscious of it at ai'. Parents cannot expect ther children to comé up with fine ideas and purposes, unless they look carefully to the sources from which they ob- tain their aims and opinions. Many boys have a strong liking for sensational tales of adventure, that. give the impression that boys can do things that very few men would be able to achieve. Such tales may be moral enough in some ways, but they give the boys a wrong idea | and make them restless and discontented wich their simple home conditions, and give them a desire to wander away from home. Parents ought to know pretty well the char- acter of books and magazines before they permit their children to have them. It may be claimed that if the children are forbidden to read certain types of fiction, they will get possession of such stories and enjoy them on the sly. But that can usually be averted. The way to do it is for the parents to take pains to read some of the finer class of children’s | stories aloud, so that the children will get an idea of what constitutes good literature for young peo- ple» Then the absurdities of trashy litérature should be pointed out to the youngsters, so that they themselves will laugh at these foolish tales. | WHAT COULD BE FAIRER THAN THAT?
