It is a job that cats for mith self sacrifice, for unceasing diligence, and it Involves nervous strain. Teachers are mot usually satisfied merely go through their Jessons in a routine way. They devote long hours to preparing them, and to help- ing backward pupils. Our best wishes to them for | a vacation rest that shall restore their physical and | contribute most substantially to te | | | | The national holidays, particularly like duly | Fourth, are occasions when the orators glorify. this country on account of the wonderful men who founded its institutions. We swell with pride be- cause these pioneers and founders created such a noble country, and we feel that some of their glory belongs to us whether we merit it or not. It reminds one of the attitude taken by the Hebrew people, as recorded in the sacred Scrip- tures, when John the Baptist preached to them. When he called on them for repentance, they re- marked in their quaint language, “We have Abra- ham to our father,” and they felt that this sufficed them for righteousness. So we today may say that we have. Washing- ton and Lincoln and Jefferson and Franklin and the rest of them as our fathers, and their mantle descends on us and covers up our faults as Ameri- cans and citizens. _ These old founders created this country on the theory that there was among the people a high standard of civic virtue which would rally around any good cause ‘and keep the people from those perils which in past years had always destroyed democratic government. Of course the people in those days were not all fine and noble. There were plenty of slackers and lawbreakersjjyst.as there fre now. Perhaps the average of civic spirit is higher now than it was then. But the fact that they had- noble’ ancestors will not help the people of Key West one particle, un- less they take hold of the duties of citizenship just as their illustrious forefathers did, with’ the same earnest determination to make a good ‘country out of it. We are not called on now to fight for our freedom, but we are¢called to think and study and organize to promote good government. SPREAD OF THE ZONING MOVEMENT (Buffalo Evening Times) Signal testimony to the seope and growth of the city-zoning movement in the United States, is supplied by figures issued a short time ago by the Building and Housing Division of the Department of Commerce. ; The assembled statistics prove that more than half of the urban population of this country lives in zoned cities and towns. Not less significant than the actual extent of zoning, as demonstrated by the national-survey, is the evidence of phenomenal growth by corttrast of the zone system as it is today, compared with its beginnings. In 1916 there were ody six: cities wwhich”had zoning ordinances in effect. To be sure, the six constituted a major indication as to how events were trending, for they represented a total of up- ward of six millions in population. I But now 486 municipalities in the United States, have zoning ordinances. All told, the? have 27,500,000 inhabitants. In ten years, the number of cities and tewns -zoned, ‘has. multiplied more than 72 times. The zone-dwelling citizenship has increased between four and five times over. It has exceeded 50 pér cent of the entire urban popu- lation—a fact-which is the more striking because urbanization is one of the outstanding develop- ments of the time, and the nation is manifestly destined to grow predominantly urban *for. a ‘long while to come. } It is har from the foregoing, that zoning, which originally asserted itself in a few localized instances, has become a national’ movement. One locality after another became convinced of its bene- fits. Then groups followed suit, and latterly the idea has been expanding by leaps and bounds. One of the most important aspects of the topic, is that of the enlistment of cities and towns of all varieties of size and classification, in the cause. Zoning is no Jonger regarded as a necessity exclusive only to large cities. It is seen that it is equally adaptable to municipalities of every kind. Plainly, the time is not distant when the zoned town or village will be the rule and the unzoned one of the exception. SSUES ISG | JACKSON'S BIRTHPLACE The century-old controversy over Andrew Jackson's birthplace was revived in the.
