THE MOTHER WHOSE CHILDREN NO
LONGER SEEMED TO WANT HER
Suddenly they have all grown
*op and left her—the babies she
used to tuok in bed at night. The
old house is empty and silent. All
have forgotten her. Her birth
days pass unnoticed.
Each child has embarked on a
drama of liis own. Loves, ambi
tious, temptations carry them
away. The story of their lives
sweeps you along.
Your life—your home—y our
mother. Never before has the
screen touchod with such beauty
and such dramatic force a subject
which finds an oeho in the lives of
every one of us. “The Old Nest”
is a masterpiece 9f a new type—a
presentation of life as it really is
with its moments of great joy and
flashes of exquisite pain. One of
the most heart-gripping dramatic
stories ever narrated.

No. 1323
Petition for divorce in Houston
perior Court, October Term, 1023.
To Daisy Wilconson Ford:
The plaintiff, Will H Ford, having
filed his petition for divorce against
Daisy Wilconson Ford, in this Court,
returnable to this term of the Court, and
it being made to appeur that Daisy Wil
conson Ford is not a resident of said
County, and also that she does not reside
within the state, and an order having
been made for service upon her, Daisy
Wilconson Ford, by publication, this,
therefore, is to notify you, Daisy Wil
conson Ford, to be and appear at the
next term of the H ou& t°n Supetior
Court to be held on the third Monday in
October, 1923, then and there to answer
said complaint.
Witness the Honorable H A Mathews
Judge of tho Suporior Court. This
August 15, 1923.
H L Wasden, Clerk,
Every school has a definite
function in a community; that
function is to better equip the
people, both men and women, for
the ..responsibilities of oitizensliip
to better prepare them to do the
work they will be called upon to
do when they take their places in
the community; and to help them
enjoy a more complete life.
The prosperity of any com
munity depends upon tho edu
cational ciulificatinn of its mem*
bevs--not a few of them but all of
them. The North and East are
more prosperous than the South
because the people are t mined
well to do the work they are doing
Their schools are adapted to the
needs of the people- It takes more
money to do this, but they have
found that it pays. They are
spending more money for edu*
cation than we are ansi they are
getting larger returns in proportion
for their money. Education means
prosperity; ignorance means
poverty—not only financial
poverty but poverty of soul and
mind.
I feel that our school is net
functioning in the commnnity as
it should. There is not enough of
the practical side of life taught*
too much theory, The majority of
our students are from communities
in which farming is the only
occupation. Our sohool is not
doing enough to help keep loyS
and girls on the fafcm. These boys
should be tanght to becomo good
farmers, and all girls, both in and
out of town, should be taught to
become good housewives. We need
a vocational agriculture course
and a domestic science oourse.
Other schools have them, why
can’t we? We neod more labora*
tory equipment for Chemistry,
This latter subject has never been
tanght here, except, probably
ye^rs ago. It must be added this
year. We need historical maps.
This subject cannot bo successful
ly taught without them.
These are vital needs, but by no
I means are they tho most impor
tant. Wo need a new modern up-to-
date school building. If you will
search the State over carefully I
hardly believe you will find a
town* large or small, that needs
one quite so badly. You can find
towns all over this state and other
states, not half the sizo of Perry
with modern up-to-date school
buildings. I saw them this sum
mer in this State and in Alabama.
Don’t your children deserve as
good advantages as'other children?
Whether yon/ have children or
not you should be interested in
this matter. It matters not what
business you may bo engaged a
better school means a better busi*
ness for you. For a better school
produces a more efficient people;
and a more efficient people pro
duce prosperity, not only in some
but in all.
fylay the people of this town and
cemm.upity awake to the ciyiug
nepd and let not an'other year pass
before a new school building is
erected. Think on these things.
Yours truly
J. M. Gooden, Supfl/
