MONOGRAPH To All Lexicologists: According to the dictionary, an “idiot” is a private person not holding publie office, and the word “silly” means to be happy. But don’t go ‘round calling people idiots or accusing them of being silly. They may not have read this item, or don’t go in for lexicology. THE ORACLE. -—_—— OO OUR’ FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Wnited States is “deeply, commit- ted to a common system of public schools, open to all on equal terms,” declares Dr. dohn L. Childs, of Columbia University, who points out that in permitting private vroups to organize their own schools the country has never “abandoned its as- piration to have all its children enrolled [ in a common public school system.” The fact that the nation has not at- tempted to regiment pupils but has per- mitted churches and. other organizations to operate their own schools, does not mean that the nation is not committed to public edueation, upon terms of equal op- portunity to all, Nor does it mean, says Dr. Childs, the abrogation of the basic, historic principle of the operation of church and state, The effort of members of the Catholic Chureh, in some states, to have the state governments provide bus transportation to parochial schools, has caused considerable discussion throughout the nation. Some Catholics assert that failure to provide bus transportation to parochial pupils repre- sents a denial of equal privileges to those attending the church schools. This over- looks the basic fact that the State has no obligation whatever in connection with private schools, whether they be Method- ist, Catholic or Mormon, and that those who prefer not to’ attend public schools have no right to ¢ontplain if some disad- vantage results. It is quite easily established that church colleges throughout the United States, operated by all the churches of the ution, do not possess the equipment, fa- cilities and resources available to state- supported institutions of learning. Cer- tainly, the state does not owe any obliga- tion to the chureh colleges to provide them with tne funds necessary to possess facil- ities equal to those of state-supported in- stitutions. People who try to read all the novels wade through a Jot of trash. You may climb the ladder of success alone, but there are always those who will help you slide down. latest Cooperation, which every community needs, includes the abolition of envy, which, however, is difficult ta attain. NEED OF STREETS What are the potential values of the Florida Keys after their development? That is a question that is hard to answer. Whatever the answer may be, it will fail far short of what it will turn out to be eventually. Before development on some keys can get under way, owners of lots must be able to find out where the lots are located. At present, as pointed out by County Clerk Ross C. Sawyer, that is an impossibility without the assistance of a surveyor. The first thing that must be done is to have roadways put through the many subdi- visions, so that streets and lots, which ap- pear now only on plats, may be found by their owners. To that end, the county commissioners have decided to have a bulldozer clear the streets in the Crain subdivision on Grassy Key. The commissioners also have under consideration the purchasing of a bull- dozer to use in clearing away woods and underbrush on other keys, particularly Big Pine, where several thousand lots were sold recently. Clerk Sawyer takes the right view in asserting that the clearing of streets by a bulldozer is the first step toward the de- velopment of the 15 subdivisions on Big Pine. In that way, after street signs have been put up, it will be an easy matter for owners to find their lots. Owners’ of lots on Big Coppitt and oth- er keys have said they would build if they had access to the lots. The undertaking is extensive and will require much time to bring it to fruition. But a beginning, with that end in view, ultimately will result in the development of several keys on a large seale, This is a good year in which to buy for cash; the same advice goes for 1948. Old people, inclined to laugh at young people, might take a look at the world as they have made it. Beggars find it easier to bamboozle the public than to work for a living. When you feel like giving money to charity, be sure you give wisely. Every good-looking building in Key West is an advertisement for everybody; visitors are quick to observe the way prop- erty and streets appear. It is gratifying to note from a recent report of the NationAl Foundation for In- fantile Paralysis that Florida led all southeastern states in the amount con- tributed to this worthy cause, “LITTLE BELOW THE KNEE” We hasten to commend the “Little Be- low the Knee” club, reportedly organized in Dallas, by thirteen hundred women who are trying to instigate a nation-wide re- volt against the proposed long-skirt fash- ion. The women make the very sensible argument that if fashion decrees longer skirts for women it will necessitate throw- ing away entire wardrobes. A more prac- tical observation is made by Mrs. Warren J. Woodward, president of the organiza- tion who insists that the women will wear the clothes that look best on them and asks “why should a girl cover up her legs —they may be her best selling point.” The women were advised byf the own- er of a dress shop to fight th P proposed styles, Herman Philipson, the dress seller, pointed out that the world is begging for material to cover its naked back and there existed no justification for any drastic fashions. “I think the designers and dress industry are trying to get away with mur- der,” he declared, and pointed out that new fashions would not be tough on the \rich and well-to-do but would be a tragedy for the poor little shopgirl who might be made to feel pitiful and tacky. The action taken by the women in Dal- las should be followed by women in Key West and throughout the United States. There is no sensible reason why the mass of women should permit a few designers and dressmakers to junk their wardrobes. Moreover, there is something to the un- willingness of Mrs. Woodward to see girls cover up their “best selling point.” The possibility exists that a mass re- volt might prevent the fashion change but, from past experience, the prospects are that the movement, unless generally sup- ported, will be ineffective. Regardless of the wisdom of the attitude of the Dallas women the record demonstrates the fact that American women will follow anything in the name of fashion. | | jnounced today West In Days Gone By AS TAKEN FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF | SEPT. 5, 1937 } | The Citizen today quotes a| paragraph from Walter Win-| chell’s column in the New York | Mirror, in which it is said that | a group of London and French } bankers are contemplating mak- | ing Key West the “New Monte | Carlo of the world.” Key | _ | An elaborate program was an- | for the celebra- | tion of Labor Day at the Boca | Chica Fishing Camp on Monday. | A bathing beauty contest is a feature of the celebration. | i The Convent of Mary Imma- culate will be reopened on Sep- | tember 7, the day after Labor , Day.

And the town itself, | until the railroad came, it was a | patch of weeds or maybe a pee- | wee trading-post. | And the money donated by the } government, it is our own income | tax dinero, and the “matching” | money that some club or other wrangles from the town or coun- ty commissioners, you will find | that right there, th year, in the tax statement covering . your house and lot.
