Dear Editor :-
Some of the statements I made in
lay former letter may give your
readers tbe impression tbat Florida
land ia worthies. Perhaps I should
'•orrect this statement by saying
that it is not -0UU7 worthless. For
ther* ia a crop produced here that is
very valuable. Florida oranges and
grapefruit are In demand everywhere.
I tbink tbat it Is generall conceded,
that the Florida orange is the most
juicy, sweet flavored, and the finest
grown any wbere.
Tho Grapefruit bas not  come  into
each general use as tbe  orange,   but
it Is becoming more  popular every
day.    I was told the other day,   by  a ,
man wbo is a large handler ot  citrus I
fruit, one  who ships   a  great  many j
thousand boxes of oranges and grape-1
frnit  every  season,   tbat the    finest j
grapefruit in the world, is grown   on!
tbe    Pinellas   Peninsula  of   Florida. 1
Tbere is something atout the climatic conditions of this particular  strip
of land that give this frnit a peculiar
flavor.
As I observed in passing up and
down thru Pinellas County two or
three times, and was told by others,
tbere is about an equal amount of
oranges and grapefruit grown, and
that one is about as profitable as the
otber.
I believe though, that sine* the
grape fruit does so well in this locality, it is becoming more popular with
citrus fruit growers.
Some may wish to know about tbe
profits of tbe business of raising citrus fruit. I am told that an orange
or grapefruit orchard goes thru about
three etagee, or tbe bauds of three
different owners before it reaches the
profitable stage.
Tbe first man buys and clears tbe
land St an expense of eighty to one
one bnndred dollars par sere, sets
ont tbe trees and makes a little start,
bat by that time, runs out of money,
ox gets sick ot tbe business, and sells
oat to the second man. Perhaps at
quite a loss. The second men may
oerry tbe thing thru to the profitable
stage, but very often be gets discouragement or tired cf waiting for bis
orchard to come into bearing aud
sells out to tbe third man. Tbis third
man as a rule takes hold of it prepared and witb tbe determination to
make it a suceas. He comes witb
plenty of money and a knowledge of
the bnsiness. He buys fertilizer by
tba ton or carload, trims, sprsys and
cultivates his orchard. He has not
long to wait, with tbese careful,
scientific snd business like methods
before his orchard is loaded down
witb golden frnit, bringing in rich re-
tarns. There are himdreds and perhaps thousands of acres of citrus
fruit orchards, all up snd down the
Pinellas Peninsula, as fine and beautiful orchards as one would wish to see.
Not all of the land is adapted to
citrus fruit, but there are thousands
of acres of raw land to be had, at a
reasonable price, as good as that already In use.
I believe there is not tbe slightest
reason in tbe world, wby a man
should not make a sueceee'of tbe business, from tbe start, if be goes at it
right. He needs money, brains and
ibe patience to wait from five to seven years for returns. He will bave
enemies, to tight, and discouragements, d meet in tbe shape ot disease,
insect, storm snd frost, same ss we
farmers in the nortb bave to meet
Similar draw backs in our farming
operations, sucb as drouth, wet, frost,
bail storms and winter killed grain.
I have taken some pains to obtain
reliable information as to tbe amount
ef citrus fruit tbat has been prodnced
la Pinellas County this season, and
tho estimate Is, tbat over two thousand carload's making one half to
tbree fourths of a million boxes, will
have been shipped out, and they call
this a poor year. Tbe crop was badly damaged by a terrific wind storm
from off tbe golf last September.
Tbe salt spray was lifted and carried clear across tbe Peninsula whipping off a large amount of frnit, as
well as doing considerable damage to
tbe trees, and other crops. Tbs packers aad Citrus growers are delighted

Mr. Preaident and Friends:
Tbere are some qualities wbicb are
essential to a teacher's success. 1
sball mention tbese briefly in a way
tbat will apply to the Sunday School
teacher.
When we wish to teach a child we
must approach it io different ways.
If we wish to teach the word "apple",
tbe object itself Is plaeed before the
child or a picture is drawn witb tbe
printed or written word beneatb it.
To make a thing real to a child we
must use examples, illustrations etc.

forget precepts, but tbe life we live
before them ie as easily retained In
tbeir memories. Teachers, do you
know thst your pupils are unconsciously living over a portion of your
lives? Every lesson you teach arid
every example you set has some
direct influence on the little folks.
Therefore, Is It not proper that I
should say that the first essential is
A Christian—a christian in deed and
In truth—for a teacher's first duty is
to lead her pupils to Christ. However, I do not mean to say tbat tve
should not have Sunday Scbool when
we lack Christian teachers, but we
sbouid select the best materials
possible.
The worth of a teacher depends on j snd it may
tbe valuable service she renders her
pupils and this done ln the largest
possible way. Herbert Monlnger says,
"Tbetepcher'e Ideal is Service." The
Master Teacher came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. Sometimes we must sacrifice many things
in order to do tbis, but anything of
value to the soul is worth sacrificing
for. The real teacher's work is mostly outside the printed quarterly. In
short, she must reach the heart as
well as tbe bead. Tbe life she lives
for her pupils teaches tbe broadest
lesson aud reaches nearest the heart.
To go out of her way to do a kind
act shows interest and friendship
that is invaluable. Friends, this Is a
happy sacrifice, but many teachers
fell because sucb a sacrifice is not
made. Life is Service—Service to
God and to humanity. O, tbat we
might feel our responsibility more
keenly toward tbe boys and girl-
wit b whom we come in contact. Let's
do our duty; yes, more tban our
duty. Hear Browsing's lines:
'The sweetest lives are tbose to duty
wed,
Whose deeds  both great and small
Are close knit strands of an unbroken
thread
Whose love ennobles all.
Tbe world may sound no trumpet-ring
no bells:
Tbe Book ot Life tbe shining record
tells,
Thy   love shall chant its   own   beatitudes,
After its own life working- A child's
kiss
Set  on  tby singing  lips  shall   make
thee glad;
A  poor man   served   by thee  sball
make thee rich;
A sick man helped by thee sball make
thee strong;
Tbou sbalt be a e r v e d thyself  by
every sense
Of service which thou renderest."
The teacher should always be a
student and, wben sbe ceases to be,
sbouid at once resign. There is great
danger of "narrowness" caused from
a lack of research. "She sbouid be
primarily astudent of the Bible," says
Moninger,"but be a student," It Is
possible for us to open up our hearts
aod beads and receive tbat wbicb
will make ue grow in service and in
fluence, or we may close our hearts
and beads and say, "We are satisfied
witb wbat we know." But, remember,
tbe real teacher Is always teachable.
Every time we open tbe Book of
Books, we behold new wonders and
new truths are presented to us. We
can broaden our lives of usefulness
by a daily study of tbe Bible alone tor
it is a library in itself. However, we
must not confine ourselves entirely to Bible study for we sbouid know
something of people, conditions and
events of today.
We most bave a knowledge of our
pupils. No two are just alike, so -we
bave as many Individuals to study as
wo bave pupils ln tbe class. Efficient
service cannot be given without a
knowledge of tbe pupil's environment aad disposition.   Maay are ias-

comprises tbe teaching force. We
confess we have not given tbe attention to this matter that perhaps we
should, but wben we hear of tbe
difficulty boards are having In secur-1
ing teachers, we conclude there must
be something to cause tbis state of
affaire Apparently it is wel) nigb impossible to secure teachers o* experience in anything like sufficient numbers to fill tbe schools. We notice
tbat of the class of 50 wbo bave just

only 33 were present, tbe balance ot
the class having gone out to supply
some pressing demands.
Of course the teaching profession

be doubtful whether
nearly ell these will engage again in
teaching on tbeir return, so many
better paying positions open before
tbem. We are informed tbat tbere
is a marked decrease in the number
now attending our Normal schools,
fitting themselves for the profession
of teaching.
No matter bow tine scbool buildings we may have, nor how finely
equipped, the one factor without
vsbich we cannot bave successful
schools, are competent teachers. If
ever teaching is to be a profession,
tbere must be paid salaries sufficiently high to attract a high grade of
talent and r e t a i n it. It is not an
alluring prospect for a teacher to
give ber life to tbe work, only to face
at last tbe alms bouse. Sbe is entitled to demand snd receive enough
to enable ber to iive decently aud lay

age. Unless it is proposed to let ail
the best teachers leave the work and
enter other better paying avenues;
unless we are to embrace tbe foolish aitercat.lye of turning tho schools

whether we preferred a Michigan
