THE NEWS AND FARMER, LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1923.
MESSAGE FROM NATIONAL PRES
IDENT
The unrest of the times, which is
no respecter of persons or of or
i ganizations, makes it advisable for
jus to pause before the beginning
of our new year and set our signals,
lest we run off the track so clearly
laid down before us.
These red flags are especially need
ed at three dangerous switches,
which we must keep closed if we are
to avoid accidents. The first is Com
mercialism.
The rapid growth of our organiza
tion, now far past the half million
mark, has made a field worth culti
vating, and all sorts and conditions
of business people are eager to lay
their wares before such a public,
or to secure its interest and endorse
ment for their enterprises. Many
and varied are the inducements of
fered to secure “official” approval,
and it is often difficult to discern the
real motive behind apparently disin
teresetd proposals of a co-operation
which ultimately resolved itself into
a money-making device—for the
merchandiser.
Our name, which stands for the
highest standards of parenthood and
citizenship, must be kept free from
“entangling alliances.”
The second signal marks the peril
, of Politics.
Here we are often in need of gates
and warning bells, as well as flaming
signs, for this is a track which
should lead to a land of promise
of good things for the children and
the community, and yet it is almost
invariably in disaster.
Five hundred thousand votes—how
much they can do, if skilfully di
rected, they can defeat candidates,
assure appointments, secure appro
priations or precent action. Our
greatest city councils, with member
ships ranging from five to forty
thousand, can completely alter the
course of local government, and the
leader who can control them can
feel reasonably who can control
them, can feel reasonably sure of
victory for his plan or his party.
To be a real force, our organiza
tion, self-reliant, judicial, uncom
promising, must hold itself above
party divisions and contests, study
ing only to secure the best advant
ages for home, school and communi
ty, and by its independence of school
or city political struggle, it will
maintain an unparalleled influence
because no one can say that the
Parent-Teacher Association is of this
party or that. It will be recognized
as a steady, incorrifptable power for
good, its only interest, the welfare of
the children, its only political am
bition the production of better citi
zens to be the parents and teachers
of the coming generations.
The third flag which marks our
line of safety and advance is one
which keeps us to our early aim and
purpose of inclusiveness; to be a
child, is to be the object of our
active interest; to be a parent, a,
teacher, a lover of children, is to be
assured of a welcome to our mem
bership.
The love of childhood, of home, of
country, is common to all men of
all creeds, and in work for these
three fundamentals of social rela
tionship. sectarian differences, am
bitions and intolerances vanish like
mists, all that is best in humanity
shines forth, and “in loving human
faces God’s sunshine visits saddened
places.
Margaretta Willis Reeve.
MESSAGE FROM STATE PRESI
DENT
With the beginning of the school
year my heart goes out to each and
every member in loving greetings
and high hopes and perfect confi
dence in the year’s success. I feel
sure that you are all planning to
make this the greatest year in the
history of our organization, local,
state and national and that none of
us will he satisfied with less.
This success will depend largely
upon organization. Each Association
should he well organized with work
ing committees and regular meet
ings of its Executive Board, which
should include as members the
school principal and a member of
the school board, to map out work
and attend to the details of the
organization’s business. This ar
rangement will leave time for a
helpful program for each meeting.
In the great World Conference on
Education, representing fifty-two na
tions, we claimed the position of a
“school auxiliary” but let us not'
forget that the P. T. A. is a schol

and every program should be such
as will create In those who hear it,
a desire to be better parents and
better teachers, giving practical helps
for improving the profession of
parenthood. The greatest profes
sion in the world. Besides the man
subject—the presentation and, dis
cussion of some phase of child wel
fare—a few minutes should be given
to the State and National Organiza
tion. You should know your organ
ization and it is our purpose, through
the medium of this Bulletin, to
furnish your Association some in
teresting facts about the State and
National work, which we hope you
will present to your association.
Program helps are now available
for pre-school, grammar school, high
school or church associations.
Wherever possible or practicable,
organize Pre-School Circles in con
nection with your P. T. A. in order
that your mothers may have an op
portunity to keep up with the prob
lems of child training, the first six
years of the child’s life, the years
when its habits are becoming fixed
and its character formed.
Use every effort to assist your
principal and teacher in keeping
every child in school for the full
length of the term. Sell Education
to your Community. Try to make
every father, mother or guardian
realize the child’s right to an adu
cation and their obligation in seeing
that this right is not denied.
Let us continue to study the child
in this four-fold natuve, physical,
mental, moral ana spiritual, and
strive to learn how we can intelli
gently and wisely guide him in his
development into a strong, useful,
courageous, law-abiding citizen. This
may not be such a difficult task im
the elementray school, but when we
come to the High School, we face
a difficult problem, and must re
double our efforts.
Let us consider the Seven Rights
of Childhood:
1. The right to be well horn.
2. The right to be born in a home.
3. The right to a faith in God.
4. The right to live in a decent
community.
5. The right to live in a country
for which he is willing to live and
die.
6. The right to play.
7. The right to work.
Dr. Tigert says “The Community
and the Community activities must
be made right for the child.”
Let us make i <%. an Educational
Year. Let us sttuly our organiza
tion, its great underlying principles,
its marvelous growth and wonderful
achievements, and then let us study
our homes, our schools and our cogv
munities endeavoring to make each
the best home, the best school and
the best Community in the State.
If each P. T. A. will consider these
suggestions in arranging its year’s
work, then indeed, will this be the
greatest year in our history.

Farmers’ and Breeders’ Day
Will Be Gala Occasion In
All Departments.
If the farmers, or those interested
in agriculture or livestock, fail to
visit the Tri-State Exposition on
Farmers’ and Breeders’ Day, Thurs
day, November 1, they will miss a
program that not only has been de
signed especially for them but which
should prove very beneficial as the
farm will reign supreme in every ac
tivity and demonstration on the
grounds. This will be the day on
which the farmers and breeders will
have High-Jinx, and everything else
necessary for them to make the day
an enjoyable one.
Everything from the apiary to the
pig pen will be the center of attrac
tion on this day—in fact Farmers’
and Breeders’ day will be the apex
of the week in such circles. It will
be the time when the boys of the
American Business Club lock arms
with their country brothers and
study their exhibits together. This
day will be marked by the annual
cattle parade that has attracted such
attention both from consumer and
breeder, alike.
Among the speakers on the pro
gram, who wilt have a genuine mes
sage for the farmer and his asso
ciates, will be W. N. Mitchell, gen
eral southeastern freight agent.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, whose
headquarters are in Atlanta. He will
come down to Savannah for this day
to deliver a short address on “The
Mutual Interests of The Shippers and
The Railroads. ’ Alt. Mitchell will
give his message in the early after
noon so that nothing will interfere
with the regular program.
The fair at Savannah is primarily
based on the farm products. This is
seen in a brief resume: a products
show in the Johnson Building that
will he composed of twelve county
exhibits besides the individual ex
hibits; grains and grasses exhibit,
the first held in Savannah; Georgia
and South Carolina Tobacco, the
largest in this section; Bees and
Honey Products, everything from the
apiary; tractor and implement show,
exhibit of every labor saving device
for the farm; poultry and pigeon
show, 2 500 birds on display; Swine
exhibit that lias grown too large for
the buildings used last year.
Among those mentioned, the swine

Severe
Indigestion

"I had very severe attacks of
indigestion, writes Mr. M. H.
Waae, a farmer, of R. F. D. 1,
Weir, Miss. "I would suffer
for months at a time. All 1 dared
eat was a little bread and
butter... consequently I suffer
ed from weakness. 1 would try
to eat, then the terrible suffer
ing in my stomach! I took
medicines, but did not get any
better. The druggist recom

say, I had tried others for two
or more years without any im
provement in my health. I soon
found the Black-Draught was
acting on my liver ana easing
the terrible pain.
"In two or three weeks, I
found I could go back to eating.
I only weighed 123. Now I
weigh 147—eat anything I want
to, and by taking Black-Draught

There is only one fear felt by the
management—the cattle barn is far
too small. There will not be suffi

will come at the twelfth hour from
other fairs because the reservations
made weeks ago have left but little
space in this building. Arrange
ments are being made now to have
some of the cattle show under an
other large tent. However, this has
not been settled.
