Addresses Members on
“Power of Vote.” En
thusiastic Meeting Held
By Mothers and Teach
ers.
The large number of :nembcrH
and friend* whQ were present nt
the last meeting of the Oconee
Street I*. T. A. Frhlny nfternooi
were fortunate Indcde, tor the won
derful feature* of the cccasio;
brought to a happy close, the se
ries of monthly meetings which
hare their Inception at the begin-
nlng of each school year.
The seventh -grade opened the
meeting by rendering n Bout Son^.
The assembly then recited the
Lord's prayer In concert. This wa;
followed by the roll call and the
readihf? of the mlnutea, and the re*
.port* of the committees. The
school Improvement committee re
ported the granting r .t the rew rest
room for the teachers by the Hoard
of'Education. This news was re
ceived happily, for this rest room,
the furniture for which bar al
ready been bought, will fill a long
felt need.
Misses Freeman and Glenn then
sang the selection, "Absent.*' Tin
seventh grade followed this with
"One Grand Sweet Song."
An exciting contest, a mi in he.
guessing game, resulted' In the
winning of nn artistic and delicious
cajke by Miss Kirby which was
baked by the seventh grade, under
the supervision of Miss Price In
the domestic scence department.
tludgc Holden filled his apimint-
mjpnt with nn able address, "The
Powdr of tho Vote.' ' He . opened
his speech by stating that revolu
tion. tho greatest controlling force
RESPECT THE FLAG.
When you see tho Stars and Stripes displayed), son, stand up
and take off your hat. Somebody may titter. It Is In the blood of
some to deride all expression of noble sentiment. You may blas
pheme In the street and stagger drunken In public places, and
the bystanders will not pay much attention to you, but If you
should get. down on your knees and pray to Almighty God, or If
you should stand bareheaded while a company of old soldiers
marched by with flags to the breczs, most people will think you
are showing off,
nut don’t you inlnd! When Old Glory comes along, salute, and
lot them think what they please* When the bind plays The Star
Spangled Banner‘In a restaurant or hotel dining room, get up,
even if you rise alone; stand there, and don’t be ashamed of It,
either. ’ ,
Don't bo ashamed -when your throat choaks and the tears como
when you see tho flag flying from the masts of our ships on the
great seas or floating from every flagstaff of the -Republic. You
will never have a worthier emotion. For of all Fie signs and sym
bols since the world began there Is none so full of meaning as the
flag nt thin country.
Other flags mean a glorious post; this flag means a glorious
futuro. It is not so much tho flag of pur fathers as It is the flag
of our children* and of countless children yet unborn. It Is the flag
of tomorrow, tho signal of the "Good time coming." It Is riot
the flag of your king it Is t^c flag rtf yourself and your neighbors.
Your flag stands for htririfinfty, for an equal opportunity to all
the sons of men. Of course, we have not yet arrived at that goal;
Injustice still dwells nmong us; senseless and cruel customs of the
paai still cling to us, but the flag leads tho way to righting the
wrongs of men.
Our flag In the world’s symbol of liberty. That pleco of red,
white, and blue bunting means five thousand years of strugglo up-
wards. It is tho full-grown flower of generations fighting for
liberty It Is the century plant of human hope in bloom.—Alvin
$!. Owsley, National Commander of th* American Legion.

IT Ml WEALTH
Enrollment Percent of
Children 6 to 18 Years
Shows Big Increase
Since 1900.
Have expenditures for * pubUc
schools Increased more rapidly that,
the wealth of the country?
No, declares Dr. Edward It. A.
Bellgman, professor of poll t leu'
economy, Columbia University. He
says: "When It Is true that the edu
cational budget has Increased mor<
rapidly than the population, It Si
not true that It tms Increased iriorc
rapidly than the wealth of the
community. On, the contrary. It
may be affirmed, with little fear
of contradiction, that from the
economist's point of view the
growth of prosperity In the United
Htates us a whole has been so
enormous as to make theyiropor-
jlon of educational expenditures
to real wealth of the communit)
actually smaller than it was in
past decades."
If educational expenditures have
an elementary school for 24 years* not Increased more rapidly during
but In some rural communities ot
the United States a child Who at-
. tends school as many days os his
• city cousin does In the course of
’I years would have to go to
? school until SO years of age even if
, he started to school when he war
r 8 years of age.
s In a State In which the Bureau
* of Education recently made an edu-
# catinal survey It was found that
‘ in several of the rural counties th;
the past few decades than
wealth of the country, the educa
tional returns have been great in
deed. Since 1900 the per cent ot
children 5 to 18 years of age en
rolled in the schools has increased
from 71.4 to 77.8; the average
length of school term from 144 to
162 ways; the average number of
days attended by eacn person 6
to 18 from 72 to 94.3; tho aver
age number of days attended by
* school term was only $0 days. A *ach Pupil enrolled fram 99 144;
; city child In the same State may | the per cent of children in high
’ attend school 180 days a year, or
1,440 days In 8 years. The rural
' child who attends school 00 days
J a year would therefore have to Ik
in school 24 years to attend the
- name number of days as hia city
I * In the State In question the av-
* era go length of the school term ir
* 110 days as compared with 180 dayfl
* in the urban schools. If the child
■ in that State who attends schov
ISO days requires 8 years tj com
* plete the elethentary grades, then
* a child of the same ability who at-
’ tends ,120. days will need 12 yeari
to complete the san;e anjount of

Is it nny wonder that the young
people in the rural coromunltle;
school from 2.3. to 10.2. Then.
t*5o, the type of education should
be considered. The teaching is bet
ter: the courses of study have been
Improved; the lndlvfdu\ differ

been added; the health of th<

adults have been opened, and so
on. With all these facta can any

ATHENS RAILWAY & ELECTRIC COMPANY
Free Inspection
Service
When we deliver an International Motor Truck or a fleet of Internationals to a customer his business relations with this
Company 'have only begun. He has made an investment—we make it a part of our business to help him realize a profit.
Aside from the steady performance of the truck—aside“fro m. the unusual and unequalled repair* service, note this third
factor: We back every International by free inspection at regular intervals during the life of the truck. We maintain road engi
neers whose sole duty it is to inspect your trucks—often, and without cost to you—to instruct the drivers, and to send you writ
ten reports of the exact condition of each truck.
For the best proof of the thoroughness and effectiveness of this service, take the word of the man who has paid his good
money for an International Motor Truck. He knows that the world-wide Harvester organization is the jealous guardian of the
daily performance of each individual International Motor Truck—and that this'.unexcelled “after-sale” service is one of the
secrets of the lasting'economy and success of International haul ing equipment.
International construction makes International Motor Trucks worth buying—International service makes them worth
keeping.
