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/ Vli CARD OF THANKS MEETING AT THARPE’S MEMORIAL CHURCH A series of meeting, conducted by the pastor Rev.
