It is an eye opening article well worth r eading. It would seem that altho Maine has its educational problem~ we are in many ways very fortunate. Two Florida teachers gave Maine a blueprint this week of how not to run a school system. They visited here to explain frus trationsthatled30, 000 Florida teachers to walk off their jobs, and incidentally to raise funds for their cause among members of the teaching profession in Maine. Someofthedon'tstheydrew from Florida's experience : don't ask teachers to face classes of 45 and 55 pupils; don't ask them to work from textbooks so outmoded that they treat earth orbits as a remote theoretical possibility; don't ask them to teach on double sessions or in buildings where the roof leaks whenever it rains. But especially don't tolerate a tax system and a political at mosphere that starves the schools ao a matter of principle. This is some of the story told by Robert Davis, a history tea cher from Fort Walton Beach, and Charles Fellows, a driver education teacher from Marianna, both in the northwest Gulf region of Florida. Neither of them will return to their schools under the punitive condi lions set up by their local s-chool boards and. they are touring the country under the auspices of the Na tional Education Association to riase funds for the 4, 000 Florida teachers still out of school. Tiley painted a political background to the crisis that took on a nightmare look to Maine teachers who expect--and in most cases get--a high quality of professional leadership from their superintendents and dedicated concern for education from their school boards. Mr. Davis noted that school superintendents in Florida are elected and at the mercy of often reactionary politi cal machines. Many school board members are paid enough to Dresses make the part time jobs appealing to local political stalwarts , in some cases as much as $300. a month. Schools become a political football, with election to office a major goal. On top of this come the county millage elections--a method of levying property taxes that requires voters to specify the num ber of mills they are willing to pay for schools--a reversal of the Maine system which states the needs first and totes up the Shoes mills later. Some Florida counties have been willing to vote mills, but many have not. In Bay County last year the citizens chose to vote the millage, which brought about a cut in teachers salaries and a demand that the teachers return money already paid to them under the agreed-on salary schedule . It took a walkout and intervention by the State Superintendent of Schools to straighten out that one. Mr. Davis noted that in the Fort Walton Beach area the popu lation has expanded in 30 years from 1, 200 to 30, 000 or 40, 000. Su\ts Millage votes and state aid have utterly failed to keep up with needs. Mr. Davis' 12year-oldson sits in an English class with 54 other pupils and a young teacher who is too busy keeping or der to think much about English. Use Heavy pressure from the Florida Education Association has brought about improvements in teachers salaries- -as much as Our Lay-Away! $2,170 as a result of two legislative sessions. If the object wa~ SHOP MILO AND $AVE. to buy the teachers off it failed, because the Florida teachers left their schools after the salary increases wer e already as TOWN & Blouses sured. The bill didn' t provide the money for smaller classes and better school programs and this was what really counted.

Teachers saw pulp and phosphate interests drawing off mill ions of the money they had fought so hard for in the name of SANGERVIllE education. Town Clerk Maude Rees reminds dog owners that licenses This was done in the special session by a neat device that were due and payable on all dogs over 4 months of age on limited the number of mills a county could vote for education- January 1. After April 1 no license shall be issued for any with state aid raised by sales tax money making up the differ dog without presentation of a certificate from a licensed ence. The greatest beneficiaries are the pulp and phosphate veterinarian proving that the animal has been vaccinated for interests who hold large tracts of already under taxed land.
