W. E. Pugh, the pop- ular pastor, on East Orange street, ‘and surprised him and his estimable wife with a regular old-fashioned “pounding.” They loaded the din~ ing table with nice pantry goods and other things suitable for the oc- casion and gave Mr. Pugh to under- 'stand that they were making him a little present in testimony of their tor and a man and the good work 'he had done for the church in this city during the past year. Mr. Pugh was deeply gratified at the {well as the substantial addition to ‘the larder, and made a pleasant ‘little informal address in behalf of 'himself and Mrs. Pugh, full of en-'are an evidence of protection when \'couraging words for the future of {Grace Lutheran church and urging the members to renewed zeal to heip increase its influence in Lakeland. | The occasion was a most pleasans one, much enjoyed by all and helped to strengthen the ties of warm es- (teem and respect already existing be- tween this excellent minister and his people.

Not only in spite of, but undoubt like clock- work, The faculty are, as a hody the best trained faculty ever in this city school; they have each had teaching experience; each has to hold a first grade certificate and be graduates of a high school or its equivalent; in the high school they are university graduates or have “specialized in their subjects. Professor Jones is a strong be- liever in scholapship. All great edu- cators insist on scholarship first, and he says aptly, the stream can- not rise higher than ‘its source. Each applicant has to fill out a certain form; this avoids 'erbose letters, shows the person's views of ['lhe serious act of teaching, but most of all was so arranged to avoid engagements with teachers who had marked deformities.

Ergo: Wit- [ 5 midst must have the real money to pay for these necessaries of life. A statistielan has figured that each new settler is worth $4,000 to a commun- ity. On this basis, the Board of 'Trade has brought a bunch of set- tlers here during the past month worth $52,000, and yet an appeal 'for payment of dues on the part of delinquent members made two weeks ago to help pay the postage bill re- sulted in the payment of $6 out of a total of nearly $200.

Then, too, Miss Brannen, our sic teacher, has been added to teaching force an extra value. We feel like saying “We are people!” As an item it may be well to add the salaries of the teachers compare well with other counties, «nd that these salaries were settled by the local board and county board at their summer session of 1914. mu the the Ibrogress she is making under such a Yes Superintendent Jones and the The soiled White schoal especially appreciated the number of parents who attended Crepe de Chene Gown or Waist can be Dry Clean- ed and made to. look new again if allowed to" go THROUGH the opening exercises.
