Florida Historical Quarterly COVER Lincoln Road was planned by Carl Fisher, one of the major developers of Miami Beach, to be the Fifth Avenue of the South, an avenue of luxury shops catering to the needs and desires of the wealthy. It was named for Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Fisher’s great American history hero. At the foot of Lincoln Road facing the ocean stood “The Shadows,” the Fisher’s palatial home, and the beachfront mansion of John Hanan, the Boston shoe manufacturer. This view of Lincoln Road, taken some time during the 1930s, is from a postcard in the collection of William M. Goza, Madison, Florida.

The national publicity given the circumstances surrounding his death provided the catalyst Floridians needed to abolish the cruel and corrupt con- vict-lease system, a peculiarly southern institution given impetus during the Civil War-Reconstruction era. During Reconstruction, Florida’s officials operated a dual penal system. A number of convicts were housed in the state penitentiary established in 1868, while others were leased to rail- road, turpentine, and cotton interests.1 Although the Republicans leased convicts during Reconstruction the primary motive gov- erning prison development was criminal reformation. The fi- nancial, social, and political chaos resulting from the Civil War and Reconstruction, however, negated most attempts to reform the criminal and gave impetus to the lease system.2 The increase in the criminal population resulting from free- ing the slaves, the corrupt prison system under the Republicans, the apathy and ignorance of the public, but, perhaps most im- portant, the unwillingness to spend public funds on criminal reformation combined to encourage the Bourbon Democrats to enact Florida’s first convict-leasing statute in 1877. Florida was following the lead of other southern states by placing the respon- sibility for convict care in the hands of private interests.3 From the inauguration of the system in 1877, until the end of Governor William Sherman Jennings’s administration in 1905, one theme dominated Florida’s penal development: bleed every * Mr. Carper is Dana professor of history and chairman of the social sci- ence department, Berry College, Mount Berry, Georgia. 1.

Occasional pro- tests were voiced, but they amounted to little more than lonely cries in the wilderness. The cause of humanity had to wait until public opinion became more indignant. After 1905 public opin- ion, molded by the press, urged the authorities to revoke convict leasing, and in 1919 it was abolished.5 While the reformers worked to eliminate the state system, county convicts suffered abuses which perhaps were more bar- barous than those suffered by state prisoners. Yet the public seemed ignorant of these brutalities; no incident had occurred which stimulated action. Then in 1922, a county convict died as the result of a severe beating. As the circumstances relating to the death of Martin Tabert became known, citizens throughout the nation demanded that Florida abolish corporal punishment and county convict-leasing. In the fall of 1921, twenty-two year old Martin Tabert of Munich, North Dakota, decided to see the world.6 At an early age he had borne the responsibilities of an adult on a 560-acre farm. His brothers and sisters had left home, and Martin’s help was needed. With the end of World War I one brother returned to the farm, and Martin decided that he could take a trip. He had money, but planned to work part time and see the sights as he moved from place to place. All went well until he reached Florida. Jobs were not abun- dant, and he soon ran out of money. Rather than return home or write his family for help, Martin decided to continue south. In so doing he made the mistake of riding on a train in Florida without a ticket.7 On December 15, 1921, a Leon County deputy sheriff arrested Tabert on the charge of “stealing a ride on a railroad train.“8 4.

Tabert could not pay his fine so Judge Willis decreed that he would serve ninety days in the county jail. Leon County Sheriff J. R. Jones im- mediately took Tabert into custody. By order of the Leon Board of County Commissioners, all county convicts were leased to the Putnam Lumber Company at $20.00 each per month, and the sheriff turned Tabert over to the company.9 In the meantime Tabert sent a telegram to his brother: “In trouble and need fifty dollars to pay fine for vag- rancy.

  • Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Discusses the Various Design/Build Alternatives, As Well As the No-Build Alternative
    SUMMARY AND COMMITMENTS S.1 INTRODUCTION The potential for high speed rail to address a portion of the transportation needs of the State of Florida has a long history. The current effort to evaluate high speed rail’s potential was initiated following an enactment by Florida’s voters. In November 2000, Florida’s voters adopted an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Florida that mandated the construction of a high speed transportation system in the state. The amendment required the use of train technologies that operate at speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour (mph) and consist of dedicated rails or guideways separated from motor vehicle traffic. The system was to link the five largest urban areas of Florida and construction was mandated to begin by November 1, 2003, to address a high speed ground transportation system. The purpose of Article 10, Section 19 of the Constitution of the State of Florida was, “to reduce traffic congestion and provide alternatives to the traveling public.” In June 2001, the Florida State Legislature, through the Florida High Speed Rail Authority Act, created the Florida High Speed Rail Authority (FHSRA) and charged the organization with the responsibility for planning, administering, and implementing a high speed rail system in Florida. The act also mandated that the initial segment of the system be developed and operated between St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Orlando areas with future service to the Miami area. Following its creation in 2001, the FHSRA proceeded to implement the responsibilities set forth in the Florida High Speed Rail Authority Act.

    Using Data Science to Understand the Film Industry's Gender Gap Dima Kagan∗1, Thomas Chesneyy2, and Michael Firez1 1Department of Software and Information Systems Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev 2Nottingham University Business School August 7, 2019 Abstract Data science can offer answers to a wide range of social science ques- tions. Here we turn attention to the portrayal of women in movies, an industry that has a significant influence on society, impacting such aspects of life as self-esteem and career choice. To this end, we fused data from the online movie database IMDb with a dataset of movie dialogue subti- tles to create the largest available corpus of movie social networks (15,540 networks). Analyzing this data, we investigated gender bias in on-screen female characters over the past century. We find a trend of improvement in all aspects of women`s roles in movies, including a constant rise in the centrality of female characters. There has also been an increase in the number of movies that pass the well-known Bechdel test, a popular|albeit flawed|measure of women in fiction. Here we propose a new and better alternative to this test for evaluating female roles in movies. Our study introduces fresh data, an open-code framework, and novel techniques that present new opportuni- ties in the research and analysis of movies. arXiv:1903.06469v3 [cs.SI] 6 Aug 2019 Keywords: Data Science, Network Science, Gender Gap, Social Networks 1 Introduction ∗[email protected] [email protected] zmickyfi@post.bgu.ac.il 1 2 The film industry is one of the strongest branches of the media, reaching billions of viewers worldwide [13, 19].

  • US Medical Education Reformers Abraham Flexner (1866-1959) and Simon Flexner (1863-1946)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 443 765 SO 031 860 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty J. TITLE U.S. Medical Education Reformers Abraham Flexner (1866-1959) and Simon Flexner (1863-1946). PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 12p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Biographies; *Educational Change; *Educational History; Higher Education; *Medical Education; *Professional Recognition; *Social History IDENTIFIERS *Flexner (Abraham); Johns Hopkins University MD; Reform Efforts ABSTRACT This paper (in the form of a dialogue) tells the stories of two members of a remarkable family of nine children, the Flexners of Louisville, Kentucky. The paper focuses on Abraham and Simon, who were reformers in the field of medical education in the United States. The dialogue takes Abraham Flexner through his undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins University, his founding of a school that specialized in educating wealthy (but underachieving) boys, and his marriage to Anne Laziere Crawford. Abraham and his colleague, Henry S. Pritchett, traveled around the country assessing 155 medical schools in hopes of professionalizing medical education. The travels culminated in a report on "Medical Education in the United States and Canada" (1910). Abraham capped his career by creating the first significant "think tank," the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. The paper also profiles Simon Flexner, a pharmacist whose dream was to become a pathologist. Simon, too, gravitated to Johns Hopkins University where he became chief pathologist and wrote over 200 pathology and bacteriology reports between 1890-1909. He also helped organize the Peking Union Medical College in Peking, China, and was appointed Eastman Professor at Oxford University.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.
