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.

I'he association is said to j he the first co-operative marketing ! organization forpied in the state. A Uargc attendance is expected. WOMANS CLUB COLUMN 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. “Let’s go.” LOUISVILLE LAWYERS LOUISVILLE LAWYERS G—2 (Continued From Page One) He’s the only real lawyer in all of the bunch. His opinions are legal, and worth all they cost, For he renders them freely with out any cost . He’s a mighty poor mixer, I can not tel* why, It must be that Bachelors are justly quite shy.

EVEMHH IT TIM fill * 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.

It will be the time when the boys of the American Business Club lock arms with their country brothers and study their exhibits together.

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.

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 mended Thedford’s ILACK-DRAII6HI and 1 decided to try it, for, as I 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 j do not suffer.’” Have you tried Thedford’s Black-Draught? If not, do so today. Over 8 million packages sold, a year.

There will not be suffi cient room to house the herds that 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.
