The principal will be re sponsble to the editor for the mon ey to coyer the subscription. Now, we hope to have an article from a number of the Board some patron, teacher or pupil in each edition this year. I would suggest that the paper go into the school room and let the chtldren in the upper grades read the letters themselves and the teachers can read them, if advisable, to the lower grades. The weather has been very favorable for school work and the enrollment is good and the work j as a whole, is very satisfactory. ‘ Let all parties concerned co-oper- ! ate in our school work as we have never done. Parents let’s send our children, whatever the sacri fice. Everything can sutler and be retarded in progress better than our children can in their school progress. They only have one time to get their education, and if they fail to get is, thev will forever be handicapped. As teach ers and pupils, lets work as we have never worked before. We must put our lives into our school, if we may hope to get the desired results. I am requesting all schools that carry work from the Bth grade, to mail me at once the number of grades taught, the number of boys in each and the number of girls in each. I must mail this informa tion in to the High School Super visor as early as possible. With best wishes, and hoping to see you soon, I am, Your friend, i T. J. HORTON. Thousands of People Hear “Cyclone Mack” The last week of the revival services Rev. B. F. McLenden (“Cyclone Mack”) is conducting at the Baptist Tabernacle began Sun day with three services which were attended by thousands of people. Each service was marked by all of the intense fervor that generally characterizes a “Cyclone Mack” gathering. The one regret was the absence from the meet ings of Rev. John W. Ham, pas tor of the tabernacle, who was confined lo his bed. with a severe cold. Probably the greatest meeting of Sunday was that of the after noon, when Mack preached to women only. The morning ser mon was on “Divine Love,” and the evening topic was “How Can We Escape If We Neglect so Great Salvation?” 1 1 addition io these three services “Cyclone Mack” spoke Sunday to a large gathering at the Men’s Bible Class. At the women’s service “Cyclone Mack” lived up to his promise to “take the gals to ride so fast they will have to hold to their sides to keep from falling loose.” His sub ject was. “The Home.” Among other things he said: “Children will be in society just what they have been in the home. 'I he downfall of every man and woman who leaves the path of righteousness can be traced to some effect in the home. “There are a multitude of fam A M US II fi LET’S GO U 0 Friday: Madge Kennedy IN “The Blooming Angel” A kicksome comedy about a young girl Btid a pink ele phant.

What kind of an offspring do you think will come from a proposi tion like that? “We are drifting away from the old-fashioned homes. Fathers have grown too busy and mothers have delegated their God-given work for others. We have lost instead of gained. “Mothers —don’t tell your chil dren what you don’t mean. Don’t lie to them. Don’t overdress them. Don’t underdress them. Don’t wait on them too much. Don’t break a promise and don’t hurt their self-respect.
