MAKE THE AMENDMENT QUICKLY EFFECTIVE. Putting into effect the amend- ment to the State constitution adopted at the last election giving sub-school districts the right to vote bonds to build school houses, is a matter which should engage the early attention of the Legislature, We are particularly interested here in Lakeland, for we need mose school room very badly and there is a movement on foot to increase our 1 )oung man, when choosing a pro- feesion for your life work, by al! means select architecture provided you can climb to the top.
