DAILY ATTENDANCE
IS MADE LOWER
The requirement of 95 per cent at
tendance for pupils in the city schools
to Ve exempt from the monthly tests
was yesterday modified by the board
of trustees for special tax district No.
1C, meeting In special session with
several teachers of the city. The 93
per cent or four days absence was
maintained for the high school pupils
butthat for the grammar grade pu
pils was Idwered to 92 1-2. per cent
or six days absence allowed. Pupils
in the fourth grade may be exempt
from tests with an attendance of 90
per cent of eight days absence. Pri
mary grade pupils in the county are
exempted entirely from examinations
by a previous ruling.
Complaint has been made that the
95 per cent requirement is unfair to
pupils who are necessarily kepf at
home by a communicable disease in
the family or to those unfortunate
enough to be III for several days. The
board expressed its regret that any
chiid .through its own Illness or be
cause of illness in the family should
be. deprived of its marks in school for
that time buti in fairness to the other
pupils and to the teachers who would
have to give a number of extra tests
and to be as fair as possible to the
child who had to lose time the com
promise of modifying the requirement
for the grades was adopted ynti a
better method could be worked out.
Invited to meet with the trustees
for consideration of the mater were:
Prof. J. II. Workman, principal of the
high school; Miss Pauline Reese, prin
cipal of the A. V. Clubbs grammar
school; Mrs. W. B. Crawford, principa
of the Joseph B. Lockey school, and
Miss Margaret Owsley, primary su
pervisor for the city schools.

ROUSING MEETING
OF WORKERS HELD
Commander-in-Chief Talks to Work
ers and Captains in Outlin
, ing Work.
A rousing meeting of captains and
generals, who will lead teams In the
Y. M. C. A. membership drive next
week was held Friday afternoon at
headquarters on North Palafox street.
The session was marked by tho induc
tion into service of the parson-mascots,
and inspirational talk by Paul
P.. Stewart, commander-in-chief," and
instructional remarks by C. A. Teve
baugh,, director.
A report of team captains showed
that the campaign organization was
already 94 per cent efficient, which is
14 per cent above normal at this stage
of campaign development. This means
that the majority of captains have al
ready filled the ranks of their teams,
co-workers having definitely pledged
themselves to assist during the four
red-letter days next week. The an
nouncement of this figure brought out
a volley of cheers that rattled the
tables.
Mr. Stewart's words carried tremen
dously with those who heard him. He
impressed upon his associates that
Pensaeola must not fall In this effort,
and that the future of her present
boyhood was in the balance.
"It is inconceivable that a body o?
business men, such as is here repre
sented," he declared, "could fail in an
effort of this kind. We must not evc-n
think of not putting this drive far on
the success, side. Tc attain that ob
jective, however, will require the ear
nest and consecrated ' work of. every
man here and every other man who
will work with us next week.
"As we poise ourjeives ready for
the plunge on Tuesday it is impera
tive that we play the team game. We
must get together and, having outlined
our campaign, we must cling to that
outline. -I mean we must cooperate
an-1-,we must see that our machinery
works smoothly and effectively. For
thr.t reason I charge each. captain here
with his accepted duty of seeing that
every one of his men is present at
Monday evening's dinner. That will
be the test of our organization. With
100 per cent efficiency in view then,
we may well feel heartened as to the
ultimate result."
Previous to addressing the captains,
Mr. Stewart administered the oath of
industry to the four clergymen pres
ent, who represented the divisions.
They were Rev. W. E. Mcllwaine, Rev.
I. W. Chalker, Rabbi A. Rosenberg
and Rev.. M. J. Ross. The oath sol
emnly enjoined the ministers to "in
ject spizerinktum at each and every
meeting of workers and to otherwise
maintain their morale." And the four
thus charged accepted the offices,
"spizerinktum'.' and all.
From now on every effort will be
exerted to bring out a perfect attend
ance at the Monday evening meeting.
In addition to the splendid dinner to
be served there will be a program of
purposeful talks, singing and final in
structions will be given to all workers.
The details have not been entirely
worked out, but will be announced to
morrow. COLDS THAT

MIND PROVES TO BE
POPULAR SUBJECT
', , 1 ." . .
Mrs. Gertrude Steele Chambers Holds
Audience Fascinated in Lecture
Last Night.
"A man is as big as his mind, '' said
Mrs. Gertrude Steele Chambers in a
wonderfully revealing lecture at the
Garden theatre last evening when she
spoke on "The Mind: Its Laws, Pow
ers and Possibilties."
"Every one of you in my audience
tonight Is in business, the biggest,
most important business in the world,
the business of living your life. What
would you think of the man who went
into business, putting his valuable
time and money into it, without
knowing or making any effort to
study the laws governing the operat
ing of that business? In the vernac
ular of modern slang, you would most
probably say 'there's nobody home,'
wouldn't you? Well, there wouldn't
be. And still, that is what most peo
ple are doing; if you are not, the fel
low sitting right beside you is."
She told of some wonderful experi
ments by Prof. Elmer Gates of Wash
ington, D. C, in which it was I proven
that the growth of brain cells even
in dogs could be consciously directed.
"Why do you pass one window by
and stop and look at another? On
account of the power of mind evinced
by the two window trimmers; one has
developed the power of intelligent or
ganization. Why are some of the plots
in your parks here in Pensaeola won
derfully beautiful, some of them even
having butterflies formed in different
flowers and shrubs growing in them
in profusion? Again because of the
power of the mind of man; nature
grew them both but in . one she was
dire6ted by an intelligent mind. Those
two plots are symbolical of the minds
of two people, one who has directed
the growth of his mind and the other
who has simply drifted through life
following no particular - goal, not
knowing or caring about the laws
governing mentaL development, and
letting any kind of a seed in the form
of a chance suggestion take root in
his mind and grow. Most people aim
high but few pull the trigger-r-by the
time they have taken careful aim
their attention has been allowed to
wander to something 1 else.
"Nothing in the world is great but
man and nothing in man is great' but
mind, so get busy on your mind."
Mrs. Chambers lectures tonight on
"Mental Analysis," which she said
every intelligent man and woman
should be interested in.
