Florida. Land of Promise, consider
one little thing.
Your children and the schools!
If you‘re an average, normal
American family you want. your
children to get an education.
Their chances to do this in l‘lori-
dII. especially lower Florida. are
mighty slim.
lit-re are some cold facts.
liyou have three children of school
age, it will cost you something like
'iltl‘.) tuition to send these children to
school one year.
If you have live. their tuition will
cost you just $270. For the rate
is $6 per month for each school
child until you have been a resident
of the county for at least six months.
Not Their Fault.
You can't blame the county. Here
are some more cold school facts:
Last year there were 14,000 school
children In Dado county, Miami's
county. This year there are 20,000.
Hundreds 0: children cannot get in
the schools at all. Thousands of
them attend but half days.
Thousands are trying to learn in
the 1s carioads of, portable one-
room school houses that have been
shipped intothis country. The school
board ordered 50 carioads. Only 18

Way last summer. when the boom
began to whisper of an unprecedent.
ed enrollment. a six million dollar
bond issue was passed for 25 new
school buildings, or 200 additional
school rooms.

Double sessions were the only so- ‘

The Dude county teaching staff

be paid less than $110 :1 month
