COMPULSORY
EDUCATION.
The editor of The Palatka News is
a recent convert to the policy of com
pulsory education for Florida. The
system has long been in vogue in a
majority of the states to the north
of us, but here, where we have a large
and transient non-tax paying negro
population which requires the extra
expense of separate schools, the adop
tion of a compulsory school law has
seemed impracticable.
This fear of an added negro proo
lem. in the event of a compulsory
school law is, however, when looked at
critically, nothing more nor less than
a bugaboo, a bugbear, a bogy. It
has nothing of reality in it to frighten
white tax payers. We ought to edu
cate the negro children, and we arc
doing it. As a rule the negro chil
dren are faithful attendants of the
public schools up to a certain age.
And the increased cost of educating
the negro boys and girls under a com
pulsory school law would be infinite
simal. Progress in all lines is must be
the watchword in all Florida. The
eyes of the whole country are turning
to us more and more. We are invit
ing, nay urging, the people of all sec
tions to come and make their homes
with us. They are accepting the in
vitation. Nothing can so impress
these people vith the sincerity of our
professions of progress as an ener
getic, thorough system of public edu
cation. Then we need compulsory educa
tion for the protection of our own na
tive white children. A new and bet
ter day is opening on Florida. Tne
children of the rising generation must
have an education in order to be pre
pared for changed conditions.
A compulsory school law is the be
ginning and the end of progress in
the important matter of public educa
tion. Get this negro bogy out of your
head. Think of the welfare of our
white boys and girls; of our duty to
them. Why, bless you
"Wherever the white man's pathway
leads,
(Far, far, has that pathway gone!
The earth is littered with broken
creeds,
And always the dark man's tent re
cedes, A.l tVio Ti-Viito man Tlimlics on.
For this is the law; be it good or ill.
All things must yield to the stronger
will"
Let us continue to do our duty by
the black boys and girls, but let us
not fail in our duty to the white chil
dren of Florida; and we are failing
when we neglect to compel their at
tendance upon the public s:ho,ls of
the State.
As a rule the white fathers and
mothers of Florida are more and more
appreciating the advantages to their
children of an education, but occa
sionally in the remote rural sections
of our counties, there is seen too much
indifference on the part of parents.
These parents need the spur that a
compulsory school law would put up
on them.
Here is an illustration of .-ur need.
In this county of Putnam, near one
of our most intelligent and nrogres
sive towns, a town of wealth and re
finement and where the earth is cov-
for miles about with beautifi l,
productive orange groves, an able bod
ied man lives with his wife and little
twelve-year old daughter. The man
i able-bodied and lazy so lazy tnai
he toils not and neither does he spin.
But he sends that little twelve-year
old girl out to work and she is the
sole visible means of support of this
lazy man. The little girl works in a
hotel; washing dishes and doing the
work of a chamber-maid, besides.
She is kept out of school in order to
support her shiftless, lazy "dad." And
there is no child labor law which
touches domestic service, and no law
to compel that unnatural father to
send his child to school. Do we need
compulsory education in Florida? Vve
certainly do.
The News may appear extra ear
nest, but you must recollect that its
editor is a recent convert And the
example of this shiftless, unnatural
father, whom he has seen and despis
ed, was the dark blot on our present
system that opened the eyes of the
blind and made him see the serious
defect in our present policy of non
interference. THE GLORIES OF WAR.
War certainly is magnificent. The
London Times' correspondent from
the Marne writes: "I myself counted
15 trainloads of wounded in eight
hours. The German artillery operated
from a hight There was much hand-to-hand
fighting. The river was
swollen with the dead. Two German
detachments of 1,000 men each were
surrounded and wiped out to the last
man."
Gen. French said: "The residents
suffered great cruelty. The homes
have been pillaged and wantonly des-

abused.'
An American Red Cross nurse, in
describing the field, wrote: "Along
the rim with rifle to shoulder ana
hor.rl hent alone the barrel stood a
long line of dead, a silent company
of rigid corpses standing uprignt.
The London Chronicle correspond
ent wrote: "There were tnousanas
dead. The groans of the wounded
o,.r horrible. Some of them had
lain without assistance for days among
the dead. The prisoners were lamisn
ed The starving soldiers proved an
easy foe for the British."
In his report to the unitea rreos,
William PhilliD Sims reports:" Farm
wagons were used to gather up tne
dead. Peasants have Deen presseu
into the service and are reverently
burying the dead in long trenches.
The stench of the corpses can ue
smelled miles away from the battle
field." Truly, war is magnificent.

CITY AND COUNTY DEVELOPMENT
Palatka And Putnam County To Be Advertised In
a Manner That Will Bring Results.
It is proposed that the coming Industrial Edition of
The News which will be issued within the next few weeks,
will be a credit to Palatka and Putnam county.
The edition will depict in convincing and graphic
terms, the history of the community as a whole as well as
every important enterprise ; it will tell of the opportunities
held out to homeseekers and capitalists, of the unexcelled
climate ; in fact it will tell the whole story of Palatka and
Putnam county more entertainingly than it has ever been
told before.
The edition will be finely printed and attractively
laid out, containing numerous halftone illustrations of the
various interests described.
It will be the finest "boost" that Palatka and Putnam
county have had in recent years and worthy of the hearty
co-operation of every business man and industrial leader
whose interests center in this well-favored section.
No city ever attracted capitalists, tourists or home
seekers to any marked degree without making a determined
campaign to win them and the men of action in Palatka and
Putnam county realize this fact thoroughly.
A liberal application of printer's ink, well distributed,
will accomplished greater results towards putting a commu
nity conspicuously on the map, and will exert more practi
cal influence in drawing the attention of permanent home
seekers than any other known accessory of the advertiser s
Just at this time Florida is attracting more atten
tion than any other single state and the eyes of prospective
capitalists, tourists and homeseekers are turned this way.
The sole purpose of The Palatka News in issuing this Spe
cial Edition is that Palatka and Putnam county may not be
overlooked. thougand copies of this Special Edition will
be distributed throughout the North and Northwest and
the bulk of the edition will go into the hands of people
whose thoughts have already been turned. Rondaward.
The edition will make them thoroughly acquainted with the
advantages of this particular section and will show what
has already been accomplished.

Three things characterize "The

first is its intense passion of pa-
triotism, which was unquenched
by the untoward circumstances
amid which it was written. This
lyric has lived, and made its au-
thor live, because it constantly
anneals to the endnrintr nations
of patriotism in the American
heart.
Its freedom from rancor and
bitterness is another characteris-
