Why Not tiave
Perfect Lenses?
Improvements and better
ments in glasses are just as
frequent as in anything else.
Until a few years ago all
lenses were flat, because no
one had thought of a better
way to make them.
Today nearly 90 per cent of
lenses fitted are Toric lenses,
curved to follow the shape of
the eyeball.
Tories give a perfect range of vis
ion from every angle—the edges do
not confuse you when looking from
the corner of the eye.
Let us demonstrate the many ad
vantages of Tories made by us.

FiftH District A. CEb
M- School.
The Fifth District A. & M. School offers a splendid
four years’ high school course. On the list of accredit
ed secondary schools of Georgia it ranks as Number 1,
and its graduates receive from fifteen to sixteen ac
cepted units for college entrance. It has nine teachers
with degrees from the best colleges and universities in
the country. These teachers have had successful ex
perience, and will compare favorably with the teachers
of any high school in the South.
Laboratory and Library facilities are sufficient to
meet the needs of instruction in the subjects offered.
The spirit of the school is wholesome and intellectual.
The buildings and sanitary conditions are satisfactory.
We haye electric lights, water works with hot and cold
water and sewerage. We offer all the advantages of the
city and yet we are three miles in the country.
We offer wholesome board at $12.00 per month;
This includes furnished rooms, lights, feel, and laundry.
An opportunity is offered deserving boys and girls to
reduce this amount by work. Best pupils usually re
duce their board from 25 per cent to fifty per cent.
Board is given at cost and there is no effort made to
make money on the pupils.
Last year we enrolled one hundred and sixty-nine
pupils. One hundred and nineteen were boys and fifty
were girls. These represent twenty-four counties of
this state, six different states, and one foreign country.
In addition to having this large number in school, we
turned away from forty to fifty for lack of room.
Applications for rooms should be sent in early.
The next session begins August 21, 1917.
