This policy, in my opinion, would result in the coun- ties deriving an income of from $50,000 to $75,000 annually from a eource now producing no revenue. It would be advisable for cities and towns to also inaugurate such a pol. ‘iey in handling municipal funds. ght to deci his to preve's cept all mestic Science Training in the Public Schools “It is a source of much gratifica . tion to me to see the good which has vween accomplished by requiring the elements of agriculture and ecivil! government to be taught in the public schools, especially since I was the author of the measure which placed this law on our statute books, * recommend the enactment of a law which would provide for the teach. ing of at least the elementary prin- ciples of domestic science, and as far as practical, mechanical training and lessons in practical farming in the public schools of the State. There has been a marked advance ment in Florida’s public schools in recent years; but I am convinced that one of the most needful things at this time in our public school pol - jcy is a more practical training for our boys and girls.” The governor recommended the enactment of lawg upon these sub- jects the last session of the legisla ture, and he is hopeful that action will be taken upon these subjects at the approaching session.
