We give them, one and all, the glad hand, and our welcome is thoroughly cordial, for Lakeland believes in education, and for the men and women who de- vote their lives to this work and are training up our boys and girls to meet the duties ofl 1fe with devel- oped minds and consciences we have a most sincere respect. X These annual meetings of the educational forces of the State are an admirable feature of our school system, delightful on slde and always looked forward to with pleasure, and viewed purely in their professional light they have a positive value very great indeed, helpful and inspiring to the indi- vidual teacher and beneficial to the cause of education as a whole. The program lasting through three days, and carefully prepareg in ad\ance.l is so varied that there is no tiresome ! monotony and there is something; doing every minute, as the show: people say, to yield pleasure and in_!} struction to those in attendance. ‘ The problems of the world multi- ply as population increases and civ- ilization grows more complex, and nothing is better understood than that in education alone can we find their solution. Long ago private and individual effort in this direction was recognized as futile and inade- quate and the State itself assumed the heavy burden of glving free education to all its children. To per, fect that system of p!blic schools, 'to make it fully responsive to the neds of a rapidly growing popula- tion requires the best wisdom of our ‘wisest men and women, and it is in these annual meetings of the Asso_ ciation, where caretully prepared papers are read and considered and there is a full and free interchange of thought by the leading educators of the State that new and valuable ideas are evolved. And in friction of minds and cor.! dial mingling of those de_! voted to a great common cause of paramount importance, high, fine in. spirations come to strengthen and encourage the teachers and give them renewed interest in thelr work, Florlda has a school system, al- ready good and steadily growing in excellence, but, llke llberty, it re- quires eternal vigilance to guard it and perfect it, and a part of that vigilance is in the work of the State Educational Association and its con_ stant efforts to elevate the standard of the teachers. Instructors who work merely ‘“for the money in it” have mistaken their vocation and in Justice to their pupils and the tax- payers they should seck some other for:mn of livelihood. For it is with teachers as with all other activities that there can be no efficiency or high success without enthusiasm in the work and a genulne love of their labor for its own sake. To give us better teachers, to make them proud of their profession, to vitalize their efforts and lift them above the monotony of irksome drudgery until they catch the vision of the true instructor who realizes ‘himself as a toreh hélping to en_ lighten the world—that is the mis. sion of the Florida Educational As. sociation, and we biqg it God speed in its work until every dark corner in our State is flooded with the light of knowledge. e (et The Hough murder trial, conclud- ed the other day by a verdict of guilty in the circuit court at Ocala, where it had been removed by a change of venue from Lake county, is another striking instance of the way our courts administer justice in criminal cases when high-priced lawyers are available for the de- fense It has been nearly three years sinch Hough, as the evidence shows, approaching his wife from the rear |deed. while she was sitting at a sewing machine in her four bullets from a revotver into her | body, killing her instantly.
