CORAL ROCKETS By L. P. ARTMAN, JR. PRABRABADABAAADADDABAAADAAAABABASAAALD EDUCATION INSIDE Many persons have asked for the inside story of Albert Carey's receiving @ letter from the School Board in which it was stated that he was not being considered as next year's principal in Poinciana Biementary School. Well, during @lections in which Bill Demeritt end Wiltierd M. Albury were stugging it out for Superinten- Gest of Public Instruction there ‘was @ lot of talk floating through te air that Principal Carey and the principal of Douglas School would not be reappointed to their for political activity. Gap tur on. went with the charter group and continued his; right now is repairing. the schools: and putting in needed rest, room’ facilities. Health must | always come first before higher educa-, tion. Also, I would like to say. that this trouble comes at.a time! when the entire country is trou. bled, when every faction is a tempting to reestablish itself in’ its own ideas arsl in which there are frequent clashes, The fact that little old Key West.is getting all hot and bothered. on’ this edu- cation question is not a matter for reproach, but rather praise that at last many of our insular. handi- caps are being done away with and we are getting sensitive. to the national scene. There is -much gettwity there. He also was ac- in our insularity which. is ‘fine; Gee im attempts which were such as a type of friendliness and started to get teachers salarics hanging together, not. often-seen ° . RECEIVES LETTER Suddenly the story vroke. Prin- cipal Carey ived a letter stat- img he would not be reappointed mext school year. Supt. of Pub- ke Instruction Willard M. Albury, wes frank to admit that the ace | ter hed been sent to Mr. Carey. ‘Then followed a confusing article | @m out-of-town newspaper in innocently it appeared that me letter had been sent.

I think it would have come if he had not been reappointed. . . ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY Chairman J. Carlyle Roberts pelted out specifically that, the elsewhere; good way of. living’ and much hearty fun, but.there is another type of narrowness bred by little contact with the outside world which is not. .good: and which handicaps our lives and our. work. It is good that. this ‘latter. is being done away-with. It-is a sign that we are using the valu-, able experience of, other sections: of the country: to improve- our community. 4 "SOOIVOTES: Women Win! “is the best liberty ‘town: e been in since’ joining-/ the Navy?" 3 #i% Aviation Machinists’ Mate Bowles stated New York ‘be- cause there are more places to go, women ' and ‘more plentiful and is closet io‘ his home.

SIDESLANT CONFUSION The sideslant concerning cer- tifieates which was used as a tool fer propaganda in out-of-town stories is simply this: A teacher must have a State Board of Edu- cation certificate which is active. When it expires, then it must be renewed. By law, no teacher can te reappointed unless she or he has this certificate, Superinten- dent Albury states, . REAL ISSUE ‘The real issue was politics and teacher salary increases. Now let me give you a little more ligitt from a former high lady official im ational education circles, ‘There was a teacher in Arkansas, way out in the sticks, who exer- ctsed her free right to vote and werk in political parties. Her party lest and promptly on th2 next meeting of the School Board her head was chopped off and she was not reappointed. This is the famous Rose vs. Frank case. Up went the case through the courts, through every local court, through every state court and up to the Sepreme Court of the United States. Every local court, every state court had decided against the teacher. Then the Supreme Court, making a clear issue of freedom, reversed all the little @ecisions under it and upheld the teacher. It was a clear victory for American principles and the Knocking the heck off of the Jin- timidations which governing bedies and big business so often attempt to rope in the little fel- lows with. . NATIONAL This article does not attempt te say that teacher salaries should be raised at this time. From an imterview with Superintendent Albury, the most pressing thing Enrique 'Esqitinaldo, Jr, who resigned May ‘1 as’ justice ofthe peace from the second: district, said he has not yet recéived:a reply from Gov. Caldwell about the resignation. ae Justice Esquinaldo, who ‘is also municipal judge,'said that he has not presided as a peace justice since he submitted his~ resigna- tion, and that all cases that have originated in his district have been turned over’ to Peace Jus- tice Ira Albury. in the first dis- trict. Esquinaldo added that he had not heard who would succeed him, but that, so far as he knew, Dario Garcia is the only one who has applied for the’ office.

WRITER SCORES RAZING “Move Not The Ancient Landmark? OF HISTORICAL SHRINES the city’s most energetic merch- ants of the period. Mr. Herrera gave financial and moral support to the growing movement which resulted in the liberation of Cuba. From the balcony of this build- ing the Apostle Jose Marti, Cuba’s liberator delivered stir- ring addresses to the Cuban patriots, whose number were in the thousands and the cause for Cuban freedom was followed closely by the American resi- dents of the city, who were al- ways present when these ad- dresses were delivered to the public. Th fact that from the roof gleamed signal lights to the Cub- an blockade runners lying off shore made it an historically in- teresting building. The lights were to acquaint the runners with the latest messages from the Cuban Junta in New York regarding movements of Spanish ships lying in wait beyond the reef, and provided a parallel to the lights in Boston’s Christ church steeple when America Key West is fast losing torical landmarks. Places that elsewhere would be classed shrines and maintained, either by the city or some organization having for its object the conser- vation and p: vation of his- torical sites, ed by order -of this or that official who knows nothing of their historical value ,and cares less.
