rather than those content with mak ing good marks. After my day with these Tampa youths I am sure that these personnel "scouts" should start by discovering such students when they are in high school, rather than wait until they are about to graduate from college. What High Schools Need Truly this group of Tampa young people with whom I associated are a "gold mine." I could pick out the leaders of Tampa's future with out looking at their examination papers or marks. I found, however, that some of the boys whom I would select were not popular with their teachers. Perhaps some of the stu dents felt that their teachers are not too able and are interested only in their salary and not in their stu dents. It is a common thing to know people who have a "green thumb" with flowers or a way with animals: they can get first prizes in flower shows and can easily train animals. This is not because they are better educated in horticulture or biology, but becouse they love flowers and love animals. The same principle [may apply to teachers: I wish that publishers in each of ! the 400 cities carrying my weekly ; column could follow the example of Mr. J. C. Council of the Tampa j Tribune. I realize that a few other i cities are already holding similar "fairs.” but It would be a wonder ful thing if such ‘‘fairs” could take j place once a year, or at least once jin four years, in each of these 400 j cities, The program would fill a j great need in most communities. It would be greatly appreciated by i teachers and graduates It would | help to hold these high school grad | uates within their own state for a icollege education, rather than lose ! them to some other community.
