ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSO
CIATION.
Tlif Parent-Teacher Association ot
Winder submits the follodng report:
Though we may not have accompllsh
>i] all that we might, we have not been
sluggard, altogether.
A gloom was thrown over the asso
ciation in the summer when we were
called upon to give up Mrs. Law, our
newly-elected president, and a most
faithful and devoted worker. In the
loss of hier, we realize that not only an
earnest and conscientious member has
gone from us, but one whose counsel
mid advice meant so much to us in
times of rnssl. We had depended large
ly upon her leadership, therefore, the
association has been late starting their
work for another year.
As an organization, we sponsored the
Glee Club , Junior Chautamiua and
Community Chautamiua and served the
members, the five afternoons they were
in our town. We always feel it a
privilege to be associated with educa
tional enterprises of this kind for we
realize that they tend to make our
town better and lift it to a .higher
plane of refinement anil culture.
A play-ground equipment campaign
has been started and so far we have
been able to purchase equipment to
the amount of two hundred and eighty
seven dollars. This is only a begin
ning of the work planned and we trust
that before we have finished that the
school grounds will abound in appara
tus and contrivances that will make the
children happy.
Flour trash cans have b en placed
tin the school grounds, two of which
were presented to the association by
the Young Matrons Federated Club. We
have taken this means of stressing sail
Ration ajid keeping the school grounds
dean and healthy. In connection with
this we have had lectures on “Health
and Hygiene” given to lln , 'Whool chil
dren. Not only in the city schools have
these lectures been delivered, but to
the mill schools as well and articles on
the “(’are of the Body” have been pub
lislie.l in our town papers weekly.
The Health Committee has been
alert to its dutiies through the whole
year and we feel that we cannot over
estimate tlie good work they have so
faithfully prosecuted.
A moving picture machine and screen
have been purchased and installed in
the school. The purchasing committee
deserves the highest commendation in
their choice of the machine. Although
$291.00 seemed a large sum, the asso
ciation has already realized that the
money was well spent. It has been our
object to give the children a clean,
wholesome picture at least once each
week. After using tin* pueitre in the
city school, ue then send it to the fac
tory town school where the children
in this district may enjoy a good pic
ture at a small expense. The machine
is also used in the churches often by
the Missionary Societies. In these
ways, we feel tluit it is paying for
itself.
For entertaining dues and miscella
neous we have spent $05.00.
One of the primary objects of the
association has been to bring parent
and teacher ami pupil together and
we find that we have been successful
in a great measure this year for we feel
that the teachers’ burdens and needs
are ours and we are able to more fully
understand problems that otherwise we
might not have been able to solve.

Columbus, Ga.— " For a quarter
of a century I have considered Dr,
Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery
one of my favorite remedies. When
I was teaching school I spent eight
years in a malarial, swampy section,
and to keep my system in a condi
tion to ward off the malaria 1 used
to take the ‘Golden Medical Discov
ery. ’ This tonic kept me in splendid
health.”—Mrs. 0. F. HENDERSON,

EXPLANATION
Some explanation about the FAIR
this year is due the many loyal and
faithful supporters and exhibitors of
the Fair. Tile management was hand
icapped in making up the program for
the gem ral| public. First, the fire
works were to have been every night.
They were shipped in two shipments
Tuesday ami Thursday nights came
from one concern, Wednesday and Fri
day nights were to come from another
concern so that all nights would be
different hut the lust shipment got lost
in transit and lias not come yet; this
is the reason there were no fireworks
on these nights.
The flying machine man was to uiup
the parachute in the Fair grounds but
missed his calculations and lit* landed
half a mile out.
Some free acts that would have been
a feature of the program failed to
come which we regret very much.
The exhibits were good, better than
ever before and compared favorably
with the Southeastern Fair exhibits.
Every exhibitor was proud of his ex
hibit and as pleased with the pre
mium awarded.
We take this method to thank each
and every one who helped to make'
the Fair a big success. We appreciate
so many coming to us and saying, “We
will show you an exhibit right next
year.”
The amusement company was not
what The North Georgia patrons should
have but we are not to be criticized for
that. The Fair is the only business
concern in the State that has to get
"orders” what to do and how to run
a business. To start with we were
curbed with such a binding contract
before we could trade with any show
that it was almost impossible to get
any kind, much less a big first class
show. The lug show people would laugh
at the idea and would not give us any
consideration at all.
The little show that we did finally
get sent half of their show to Adel,
Ga., because they could not stand the
expense and live up to the contract
that they were under. The Fair as
sociation lost SI,OOO because of this
stringent contract.
The following letter is one of six
similar ones received last summer to
an inquiry as to what other Fairs had
to pay.
Copy of letter Ga. State Fair,
Macon, Ga.
"Dear Sir: —Replying to your let
ter of July 24th., our grounds are own
ed by tin* city of Macon who charges
us no rental for the buildings and the
grounds, they also give us all the city
license, and furnish us with police and
fire protection, keeping a fire company
on the grounds during the fair, and
sending down a squad of police under
a lieutenant to handle the crowds,
without cost to us. Yours truly,—
Secy. & Mangr.”
If we wen 1 allowed this privilege and
cooperation we would show you u FAIR
in 1021 that everybody would be proud
of.
The receipts of this year’s Fair were
spent as follows. Premium List SISOO,
City SSOO, Taxes. SOOO, County's Agents
SSOO, and materials SI4OO. print
ing und advertising SSOO. All this mon
ey is left in the county in the hands
of our friends.

determination to make better exhibits
