However, the score was closer than it has been before with any other theam, and when the 8.-P I. boys go down to Vi dalia next Monday afternoon they expect to bring back the victory. The game Thursday showed sev eral weak points which the boys are trying to strengthen this week. Some new material is showing up well right at this time; namely, William Peterson and Cecil Frost as forwards and Fred McSwain as guard. These men are going to give some of the regulars a hard job to hold their places. With the number of men coming out for practice there is no doubt but that the 8.-P. 1. team will come on. Following the game with Yi dalia the Institute team will play Lyons at Mt. Vernon. Mr. Barrett was in Macon Fri day. Saturday and Sunday at a meeting of the presidents of the various Baptist high schools in Georgia. At this meeting it was decided to merge all the high schools and colleges which have constituted the Mercer System into a closer union and make President Weaver of Mercer Uni versity, superintendent of them all. It is the plan of President Weaver to add the normal feature to Brewton-Parker, making it a normal as well as a high school.

A membership drive is being launched by the Georgia Branch of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations, and every man and woman in the State is asked to join, to encourage the formation of parent-teacher associations in every public school where such organizations do not already ex ist, and to stimulate membership where they do exist. The National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations works jointly with the National Education Associa tion, and through the Bureau of Education at Washington. This organization is receiving the en dorsement and hearty co-opera tion of our National Commission er of Education —Hon. P. P. Claxton, State Superintendent Brittain, as well as the majority of our leading educators through out the country. Ten cents per year is all that it costs to become a member of the National and State Parent-Teach er Association, or Congress, and the amount is so small it will not inconvenience anyone to join. The fund collected will be used to pay for prizes to be offered the schools securing the greatest number of memberships through the local Parent-Teacher Associa tion. Letters containing full informa tion concerning this drive will be mailed to every school in Georgia. It is expected this plan will be the means of arousing state-wide interest in the Parent-Teacher Association, While Georgia al ready has many such associations, there still remains numerous schools without such organiza tion: and to place one in conjunc tion with every public School in the State is the desire and slogan of the Georgia Branch of the Congress: SIOO.OO in cash will constitute the first prize, to go to the school securing the greatest nnmber of memberships through its local Parent-Teacher Association. $50.00 in cash will be the second prize, and 125.00 each the third and fourth prizes. Every public school in Georgia is eligible to enter the race for these attractive prizes. Informa tion will be gladly furnished by Mrs. J. E. Andrews, President of the Georgia Branch of the! National Congress of Mothers! and Parent-Teacher Association, No. 7 Orange St., Atlanta. —Liiui i- m mm ■■nm ■ mi iri **rv rtE"•• * —— 'ft 3 w—m—a— THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford Coupe is essentially the motor car for physicians every day of the year because of its up-to-dateness in every detail —large sliding windows, it is a breezy open car in fine weather and in rainy, stormy, cold weather it is closed —dust-proof and water-proof —with broad seat heavily upholstered, it is a most comfortable car.
