McDonough, Georgia, Friday November *>, 1909. itHON StiAflcD SCHOOL, Tiie public school here opened with 80 pupils, Miss Ojfhtlu: Banks is orr assistant, she appears to know her business. If the pupils put. in whole term we can graduate 14 this year. The following Misses Allie Hopkins, Lillie Craig, Edna Rodgers, Beulal: [lessor, Lucy Sowell. Eunice Hop ins, Roth Craig, Annie Hubbard, Ralph Culpepper, Rufus Rogers, Oma Whitaker, Herman Wliitukoi Glen Rosser. We desire to make this flic most profitable year of our work here. School is graded throughout, all classes reciting some subjects. Great economy of time in graded class work. We will celebrate Thanksgiving with appropriate exercises at Bethany church, Rev. J. F., Bled soe will preach sermon for us. We kindly invite all patrons to attend our Friday exercises, deba tes, recitations, . declamations, songs etc. Rev. J. E. England pastor at McDonough was with us at open ing last Monday and said to several of our patrons in past, “Educati onal work in this country is above all other activities in this life but religion, future usefulness depends on what work and the Character of the work done here. I met two boys and asked them what they were going to make of themselves, “one said, going to make a man,” I said we want men for we have enough of folks. A man has three parts, intelle ctual, moral and physical, these parts all carefully developed make a man, but intellect accomplishes most. A strong body and religion makes a goqd farmer, and strong body, intellect, and religion will make a good teacher of children, There is nothing of real value in auto races etc except to make money for automobile factories. A well developed physicial form stands for a pedestal for a tower ingintellect. Just such games in school should be allowed as will contribute to the making of well developed bodies, and muscles. Many people raise children to advertise, derbys, red ribbon, and buggies and thereby help buggy factories. It is a great mistake for people to turn their girls loose to ride around over the country in bug gies not knowing whether they will return for dinner, supper or breakfast. God gives us the material of which we are to make goodmen and women and leaves the respon sibility on us, How are we turning out the jobs? It takes father, mother, prea cher, and teacher to make men, are we making them? Some fath ers are utilizing the whole time of their boys and girls to make money and a. living, and some folks hav ing the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ work their children till school is nearly half gone and then the teacher to do as much for hischildren as any God pity men w T ho are spending all they have to make money I have no place I can call my own but I expect to love my master with all my power.” We desire that all the patrons visit school on Monday Nov., 29 and hear Dr. Arnold the pastor at McDonough on his best theme on education. Let us have a good crowd then and show- the interest we are taking in the education of ourjchildren. O. W. Johnson. See us when you come to Mc- Donough. Walker Turner Co.
