Your |'%,,tf#e {© the best of my knowl- tain W. Curry Harris as speaker of the evening. Captain Harris chose for his subject, “The Relation of Military Discipline in the National Army to Citizenship”. | The high points of his talk were: | “Discipline is an attitude in the individual soldier and necessarily involves loyalty as in the life of the citizen”. The organization of the Army was illustrated by the example of the story of the dexterity of the western stagecoach driver and the millionaire versus a hornets’ nest. It was also brought out, “Fighting with brains is su- perior to fighting with hands”. Captain Harris emphasized that good discipline is as necessary for the citizen, the non-combatant, as it is in time of war, if the best results are to be obtained by so- ciety and the Army. | An important point was regis-, tered by the statement of “A man! who can control himself under| any and all conditions is always Ja success at any undertaking” ;and was well illustrated by the, story of the Light Brigade in the: | Crimean War. | The speaker made a distinction + between the well-drilled man and the loyal man, who watches his, ! superior officer. This was illus- trated by America rushing into} | the World War with thousands of untrained men, which would have | been a greater tragedy had they | not been loyal. | Captain Harris said the nation-| al plan of defense is (1) the regu- lar Army, Marine Corps, Navy and National Guards (2) reserveu | ' commissioned officers and men} (3) the registration of a reserved army of men who have hau service in some branch. -Two county fairs are in pro- gress this week—the Manatee procedure through County Fair at Palmetto and the - Pinellas County Fair at Largo.

The new books will also include a series of safety education readers to direct the interest and thinking of both pupils and teachers in this field of social need. Courses in home economics will be enriched by the adoption of additional books so that a variety of texts may be used in one class. There are 2,500,000 textbooks supplied free to Florida children today. At least 13,000 are being used by the 2,462 children en- rolled in Monroe County schools. More than 40 publishing com-! panies are expected to submit bids and sample books to the State Board of Education by Feb- ruary 1. The books will be rated for educational value and quality of binding by an official rating committee. The content will be judged according to recommenda- tions of the state course of study committee.
