A responsibility very heavy in its character falls upon the teachers, and in the conscientious discharge of their arduous duties they should have the warm and active support not only of every parent, but of the whole body of the people of Lake. land. The right management of hundreds of boys and girls repre- senting so many diverse types, and successfully appealing to arousing their mental energies and ambitions so that the hest educa- tional results may be obtained dur- ing the sossion task of magnitude that courage of high de- gree, with adequate tact and learning will be required in full measur her, To the of these instruc- tors too man) fer dutics managenment rightly holo having “put they to think that their ollications are at ond all that pertaing to the mental ang moral welfare of the child is @ combined ot cvery shoulders parents seck to tr responsibility in which homes, and school,” and discipline in the the Kkid Protic and in at tao an in ot 1) s | (| ing truth of New Yori con par- the 10y the ents will real followi froy enine “Ho 1hien is a strong fac- tor in bri This is so often o | for good. there is ization in the p a boy tanding nofwit 1wk ol ore home, and notwithstanding the fa. | ther may be o encrossed in other affairs that he is often remiss in not taking o more active interest in the direct education of the boy. strong influence, nevertheless, is felt indirectly, The relation bhe- tween parent and child can not be lightly iransferred to another.

No school, no institu. tion, can quite take their place.” [ S IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE OF LAKELAND The issue of commission form of municipal government has at last got round to Lakeland and on the 8th of nexvt month our people will have the opportunity to determine by t Council deseriptive of th form of 0 i overr Which is propoged for this city hotl 1 hed in the legram Sat urday and the voters ean now put on their thinking ecaps and study the questions for themselves. Tons of literature have been printed on the subject, pro and con, and there is much to be said for each side of the contention. The Telegram will keep its columns open for contributions of reasonable length from those who desire to pre- sent their views and will thus ren- der doubtless a more useful public service that will enable the people to get a clearer insight into the question than if it took a partisan attitude and sought to make votes for one side or the other. Our people have just a month to thresh out the subject and at the end of that time we ought all to know a good deal more about it than we do now.

The law au- %!hul‘im‘s nothing of the kind. It ig ! provided that counties may lease I convicts from the State for a limited | period. The law fixes the date prior to which application may be made by the counties at Aug. 15, 1913, but the board of State institutions has extended this date to Sept. 22, | instant. The only thing in the act in regard to letting convicts to pri- vate lessees is the provision which makes it optional with the board of state institutions to lease these con- victs to private parties after Jan. 1, 1914, for a period of not more A8 { let to the counties.” Sl The Tarpon Springs Leader | throws out this little hint, which is timely and well-put: (pers in Florida whose v‘p:x'ws are prepared by women.

Hence the necessity of neutralizing it by the use of al kalies.
