PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION IS ACTIVE IN SCHOOL LIFE HERE
The Hartwell Parent-Teacher As
sociation, since its organization four
years ago, has been the one “power
behind the throne” for better schools
and enlarged activities in school cir
cles locally.
The school system of Hartwell
would not stand at the top today
had it not been for the work —hard
work —of the P.-T. A. members.
The officers are as follows:
President—Mrs. H. W. Bingham.
First Vice President- Mrs. Loyd
Teasley.
Second Vice President- Mrs. R. E.
Matheson.
Secretary—Mrs. J. E. Cobb.
Treasurer—Mrs. H. L. Kenmore.
Corresponding Sec. *Miss Ida Mc-
Gukin.
Press Reporter Mrs. McAlpin
Thornton.
Members at Large—Mrs. P. P.
Harrison and Mrs. Carey Kidd.
THE P.-T. A. IN 1925 26
By MRS. H. W. BINGHAM
The quarterly meeting of the
eighth district Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation was held in Athens July 6th.
The Hartwell association sent a re
port that we were proud to give.
The new school year is here. Shall
we not carry on to even greater
things next year?
Is your child ready for school?
Are those bad tonsils 6ut? Has your
child been to the dentist and had
his teeth put in good condition. Is
he on a regular schedule for eating
and sleeping? The biggest task be
fore Parent-Teacher Associations to
day i sthat of sending a well child
to school.
Parents, after you have looked af
ter the physical condition of your
child, come to the opening exercises
of the school, and to the first meet
ing of the Parept-Teacher Associa
tion. We need every parent. Let’s
have a closer connecting link this
year between the home and school—
a closer understanding between the
parents and teachers.
We have a school to be proud of
in Hartwell, but not one to be satis
fied with. Our Grammar school is
badly in need of repairs and equip
ment. Our P.-T. A. can do much
to remedy this if we have a large
working membership next year.
The greatest thing in our town is
"“The Child.” Let us not neglect it.

IF Y®U CAN'T GO OVER OR UN
DER, GO R«UND
A baby mole got to feeling big,
And wanted to show how he could
dig;
So he plowed along in the soft, warm
dirt
Till he hit something hard and it
surely hurt,
A dozen stars flew out of his snout;
He sat on his haunches and began to
pout;
Then rammed the thing again with
his head—
His grandpap picked him up half
dead,
“Young man,” he said, “though your
pate is bone,
You can’t butt your way through
solid stone,
This bit of advice is good. I’ve found I
If you can’t go over or under, go ,
round.”
A traveler came to a stream one day, ;
And because it presumed to cross |
his way,
And wouldn’t turn round to suit ’
his whim
Ami change its course to go with him,
His anger rose far more than it
should,
And he vowed he’d cross right where
he stood,
A man said there was a bridge below,
But not a step would he budge or go, !
The current was swift and the bank
was steep,
But he jumped right in with a vio
lent leap,
A fisherman dragged him out half
drowned;
“When you can’t go over or under,
go round.”
If you come to place that you can't
get through
Or over or under, the thing to do
Is to find away round the in\possi
ble wall.
Not say you’ll go your way or not
at all.
You can always get to the place
you’re going.
If you’ll set your sails as the wind
is blowing,
If the mountains are high, go round
the valley;
If the streets are blocked, go up
some alley;
If the parlor car’s filled don't scorn
a freight;
If the front door’s closed, go in the
side gate,
To reach your goal, this advice is
sound,
■“lf you can’t go over or under, go
round.”
—JOSEPH MORRIS.
If you have a growth or lump that
you do not understand, do not paint It
with iodine or wait on it too long; it
may be cancer. Go to a good physi
cian, have it examined, and. if in
doubt, have it examined under the mi
croscope. Cancer can be controlled if
taken in time; it should be removed
or treated with X-ray or radium
Don’t delay; don’t try to treat it w.th
pastes or plasters; go to a good sur
geon; take his advice.

o
Very little Is known about the
origin of the Mother Goose rhymes.
The name “Mother Goose" Is sup
posed to have had Its origin In French
folklore. Queen Goosefoot, mother of
Charlemagne, was regarded as the
special patron of children and her fes
tival Is still celebrated. Though the
name originated In France the rhymes
are English. New rhymes have been
added to the collection from time to
time, most of them being taken from
Engiisli folklore. There Is nothing to
the story that the original Mother
Goose was a Mrs. Goose who lived in ,
Boston. As early as 1628 Charles
Perrault published a book In England
entitled the “Tales of Mother Goose.’’ i
Many of the rhymes were probably
old then. —Pathtinder Magazine.
Invented in a Dream
A “dream invention,” making pos
sible moving picture shows in broad j
jaylight, is claimed by a young hook- j
binder in Budapest, according to a
dispatch from that city.
The Inventor projects pictures not
against a white screen, but against a
rapidly rotating disk covered with |
strips of dark green und dark blue
paper, which radiate from the center.
The dispatch says the Invention has
been proved a complete success by ex
periments and is already patented.
The inventor says the idea came to
him in a dream and he is unable to
explain it.
Oscar Wilde Sarcastic
An American published once wrote
to Oscar Wilde and ordered a “story
of 100,000 words,” for which he of
fered to pay a specific price. The idea
of having his wares measured as if
, by a yard stick offended the poet’s sen
sitive soul. A few days later he
wrote back to New York: “Dear Sir:
I received your charming letter, and
have spent two or three days in de
lightful contemplation. I should like
to write the story, but I do not see
how I can do so. Unfortunately, there
are not 100,000 words in the English
language.”
Red Cross Organization
The American Red Cross was or
ganized in 1881. one of the most active
founders being Clara Barton, who had
served as a volunteer nurse In the
Civil war and under the Red Cross
flag in the Franco-Prussian conflict.
She became the first president of the
American Red Cross. It was Miss
Barton's Idea that relief should be
provided also for the victims of earth
quake, pestilence, or other calamity.
Both the American body and the In
ternational committee soon adopted
this extension of scope.
Theoretical Line
The 180th meridian In the Pacific
ocean was selected as the internation
al date line largely for the purpose
of convenience. It is theoretically the
opposite half of the circle of the merl
ilan of Greenwich, which by common
consent of the navigators of the world
is the earth's prime or first meridian
and is used as the common standard
for reckoning time and measuring
longitude.
