'ANNOUNCEMENT STORY” FORD
MOTOR COMPANY DETROIT MICH.
u ;
Detroit. Mich.,—Introduction
~f a higher radiator, bringing new
and improved body lines to all
ypes of Ford Cars, is announced
oday by the Ford MotorXJompany
The changes have just gone into
effect and the various types are
How in production.
While the large radiator has
been made standard on all types
nd while it has made possible
ther betterments in body design,
here is no radical departuein cons
truction, but rather a general im-
rovement which has resulted in
ore graceful lines.
The new radiator sets an inch
nd o half higher than the former
nd has an apron at the bottom
hich joins a similar apron effect
f the fender on either side, giving
highly finished appearance to
he front of the car. The larger
adiator also increases cooling
efficiency. /
Most conspicuous among the
ew types is the Ford Coupe whi<*h
s of entirely new body design and
instruction, resulting in a more
rim exterior appearance, more
omfortable seating arrangement
nd a greater luggage carrying
apacity.
From the dash there is a grace’
1 sweep in the cowl to the
adiator bringing a pleasing effect
the front- The doors are wide
nd open forward making access
»nd exit easy. They are heavily
framed for rigidity and strength,
“he compartment at the rear has
een enlarged to afford increased
Carrying capacity. The gasoline
*ok is under the seat, with divid
ed cushions to afford easy filling
of the tank from the right side
making it unnecessary f®r the
driver to leave his seat. Ventilator
in the cowl and a visor over the
windshield add much to the at
tractiveness of the car. A new rear
fender of more sturdy character
also is a feature.
Interior fittings are of choice
material and the arrangement of
the deeply cushioned seat has been
effected so that at the rear there
is a small recess shelf for carrying
parcels. The rear vision window
is much larger and oblong in shape
Door windows have been equipped
.with revolving type window reg
ulators and looks are provided.
Side windows are equipped with
the lever type window lifters.
Marked, too, is the improve
ment in the Four Door Sedan.
Highly popular since its intro
duction a year ago, because of its
low, graceful lines, the car now
presents even much better lines
and a sturdier appearance.
This has been broughtabout by
the installation of an entirely new
cowl with a graceful sweep from
the dash blending into the larger
hood and radiator, The change
also affords an inorease in leg room
for occupants of the front seat.
In the open types, the Touring
Car and Runabout, the cowl has
been enlarged and flows in a
graceful curve to the higher hood.
The result brings a most pleas
ing effect to the exterior appear
ance of both types. The improve
ment in the Touring Car which
came when the one man top and
slanting windshield were introduc
ed, is greatly enhanced by the
larger radiator, the car appearing
lower and more attractive than
ever. The effect on the Roadster
likewise most appealing, giving it
a more rugged aud and sturdy ap
pearance.
The new radiator also is extend
ed to the Ford Truck, chassis,
affording improved appearance
and better cooling, to delivery
services. J
These new Ford types and the
generally recognizod perforamnee
ability of the Ford under all
motoring conditions, promise to
bring a greater demand than ever
before as the public becomes more
fully acquainted with the higher
standards and greater values
which have been incorporated
No changes are contemplated in
prices.'—Advertisement*
PERRY PUBUC SCHOOLS OPEN
SEPTEMBER TENTH
Vacation time is over. Thous
ands of boys and girls all over our
great country are winding their
way back to school. Fathers and
mothers are busy preparing for
their return; many sacrifices are
being made for the love and am
bition they have for their chil
dren; for the hopes they have
planted in their own hearts fofr
them. Many are denying them
selves the actual necessities of
life that their boys and girls
might have this opportunity.
Heroic, this is. But how sad it will
be to see so many boys and girls
literally wasting their time away
in sehooi. Sacrifices and self-
denials on the part of their parents
mean nothing to them. To me this
is most tragic.
There indeed are thousands re
turning to school; but on the other
M *ft& m hundreds who
should return that never will.
These are found throughout all
the grades, particularly so, in the
frnm so h00l tf Dd *5 the traQ sitien

shou ld be in school preparing them
selves for some definite work be
coming efficient producers.lt is the
duty of every young man to be
come a constructive citizen, arid
not a parasite upon society. It
should be the ambition of every
boy and girl to at least complete a
high school education.
Our school opens on the Tenth
of September. It is the duty of
every parent in our school dis-
district to see that his children
every one of them who has not
completed the high school, enter
school the first day and remain
until the end without losing a day
if it be possible. No child can do
good work who comes irregularly.
Punctuality and perfect attend-
ance, of course, do- not indicate
that the child is doing good work
retime; but it does indicate
that the fundamental principles of
success are being learned. No child
should be kept out of school with
out a reasonable excuse.
All pupils will be required to
bring -written excuses, when they
are absent or tardy, and these
must be reasonable. Interrupted
school work breaks the continuity
and handicaps both teacher and
pupils. Please see that your chil
dren are neither absent nor tardy.
No high school students can do
successful work without a good
bit of home studying. The after*

Our school has made wonderful
progress in the last few years. We
have grown from five or six teach-
- 5 ° M UP T 8 t0 ten teachers
and 350 pupils. In our school de
partment last year we had over a
hundred. This year it promises to
be much larger, We have one of
the best sehool libraries in the
State; a good start in Laboratory
equipment for Physics and Biology
and numerous other improvements
have been perfected. We now offer
two years of Frenrb; and hope to
offer one year of Chemistry.
Lot s make this the best year of
our sehool. We extend to all an
invitation to visit us; and invite
helpful criticism at all times
Yours very truly
