THAT LETTER TO MOTHER
Perhaps it has been some time
since you wrote your mother a letter.
Having reached the ago of man
hood or womanhood, you doubtless
have your own family worries and
demands, and mother knows you are
well, else ene would have heard from
you.
But that is not enough for mother.
She wants to get a letter from you,
if you can not visit her.
Anything at all about yourself or
your family is interesting to her.
You of mature age, seem just the
boy or girl to her.
She thinks a lot about you, and yet
calls you "her baby."
As she grows older the days when
you were a child make more impres-

Often she wonder if you have al
most forgotten her.
In her benign and loving way she
excuses you by telling herself that
you are so busy you can not time
to write, and she tries to make her

But she knows if you were more
thoughtful and tender in your

Why not write tonight to the best

STAR SUP’DENT
HE HAS SERVED THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS OF GEORGIA IN SUP*
m
ERYISORY CAPACITIES FOR 29
CONSECUTIVE TEARS.
1 Below we publish the anouncement
of Hon M. L. Duggan for State Super
intendent of Schools, and no doubt,
his candidacy will meet with the
' hearty approval of his many friends
' in Toombs county as well as all over
the State. He is a wonderful school
man and feels that he ip well equip
ped for the place to which he aspires,
by actual hard work he has rendered
the schools of Georgia. His announce
ment follows.
Atlanta, Ga., June 12, 1922.
I announce myself a candidate for
State Superintendent of Schools, sub
ject to Democratic Primary. ,
For 29 consectutive years I have ser
ved the public schools of Ga., in Sup
ervisory capacities—lß years as coun
ty superintendent in Hancock; 5 years
as one of the State School Supervi
sors; and for 6 years as Rural School
Agent for the State Department of
Education. Thus most unusual op
portunities have been afforded me for
becoming fully acquainted with the
school throughout the Statfe and with
public school problems, and for the
people of my state to know me and
my work for their srhools. About
29 years ago, which country school
commissioner, I aided in the organi
zation of the Georgia County Schools
Officials’ Association, and have never
missed attending any of these annual
meetings. I have watched closely the
development of school legislation
through ail of these years and have
had some part in promoting the same.
I have conducted teachers’ institutes
in nearly all of the counties of the
state, assisted in the yearly summer
schools for teachers at Athens, M 11-
edgeville, and Valdosta, held school
rallies in numerous remote districts,
advised with county superintendents
and boards of education, and other
wise worked as earnestly as I could
for the betterment of our
Probably my most important and far
reaching work for the cause has been
the County Educational Surveys, cov
ering in detail every school in forty
Georgia counties. These have been
published by the State Department of
Education in a series of Bulletins,
number forty being now in press. Be
sides creating considerable interest
within the State, especially through
out the counties immediately con
cerned, the demand for these Bulletins
fropi other States has increased be
yond the supply and they have been
favorably Commented upon by the Nor
mal Schools, colleges, and depart
ments of education throughout the
country. The educational measure
ments recently made throughout the
public schools of Dublin, Cordele, Al
bany and several other Georgia towns
have been the most complete and
thorough ever undertaken for any
Southern City.
Believelng as I do that the most im
portant and far-reaching public prob
lem confronting the State and the
counties is the improvement of our
public school system, and upon the
basis of my training, experiences, and
intimate acquaintance with the situa
tion, I ask the suffrage of men and
women In the coming Democratic
Primary for this, the most responsi*
’ hie position in the State.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
DANIELL BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
The Sunday School Convention of
the Daniall Baptist Association, held
at Ailey on Wednesday and Thursday,
the 14th and 15th, was the- mest in
spiring and successful one in the his
tory of this organization. The at
tendance was more representative of
the entire association than usual anu
the interest was of a keen type.
The addresses through the ent-'ro
meeting were excellent, and maintain
ed well the high standard set by Rev.
J. T. B. Anderson in the opening ses
sions, when the spoke on Evangelism
through the Sunday §choal. Addres
ses were made by Rev. C. E. McDan
iel, Dr. J. C. Brewton, Air. L. Walker,
R. N. Youmans, of Uvalda, Rev. A. L
Avery of Gleenwood section, Mr. M. E.
Burns of Tarrytown, Rev. J. M. Davis
of Uvalda, Col. L. C. Underwood of
Mt. Vernon, Dr. J. W. Palmer of Ailey,
Dr. O. J. Whipple of Uvalda, Mr. Jas.
W Merritt of Gainsville, and others.
Mr. Merritt is the Field Secretary of
Sunday School for the Georgia Bap
tists, and it i? easily seen that he has
developed into on e of the most effect
ive workers and speakers engaged in
this line of work. His presence and
addressee at the Daniell Association’s
Convention were very inspiring and
helpful, and the representatives in at
tendance will long remember and pro
fit by the things he so forcefully and
delightfully laid upon their minds
and hearts. 71 - - v '
The officers elected for the ensuing
years are M. E. Burns, President, Rev.
J. M. Davis, Vice President, Rev. C.
E. McDaniel, Secretary-Treasurer.
These -were appointed at the closing
session to confer with the Executive
Committee of the Association and ar
range for a Teacher Training Insti
tute to be held in the near future, the
same to continue for ten days to two
weeks or more, as it may seem wise,
The people of Ailey were delightful
in their hospitality in the entertain
ing the convention. The convention
came to a close with the delegates
feeling that they had one of
the “mountain top” experiences.

GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY
ATLANTA, Ga. June 20. —Because
of the limited facilities at Georgia
School' Technology and the inability
to make needed expansions with the
present State appropriation, it has
been necessary 1 6 limit the number
0? students to the capacity of the in
stitution, ,rfind high school graduates
planning to enter Tech next fall are
urged to make application at once.
In a statement issued by H. H. Cald
well, registrar, he said that it had
been necessary to refuse admission
for their reason to more than 100
students who made application last
September.
“This condition is regrettable.” Mr.
Caldwell stated, “but it is or.e whi W
we cannot help. The institution with
its present facilities can handle only
a fefinite number of students and we
have been filled to capacity during
the past several years. A large pro
portion of the present undergraduates
have already indicated their intention
to return next year, and others who
plan to enter would do well to make
application now to prevent being
crowded out later on when the cap
• c.iy number has been reached.”
The past year at Tech has been a
very successful one. The enrollment
of day students was 1673, and specia
students Including those at the night
school of commerce and the ex-ser
vice rehabilitation students, brought
the total of 2830. The enrollment in
cludes students from 125 counties of
Georgia, from 28 other States and
.from seven foreign countries Stu
dents whose homes are not in Georgia
I are required to pay fees considerably
higher than those whose parents live
in this state.
