MRS. THEO B. DAVIS:
This, That & the Other
There is probably no stronger
believer in conformity than first
graders in our school system. Each
must be as nearly as possible like
all others in his room, and the
parent who preaches individually
is bound to lose.
Our six-year-old grandson has
all his life known Mrs. Hall, the
school nurse; has talked freely to
her since he first began saying
words; and has always used her
surname and the correct prefix
when speaking to or of her. So it
was surprising last week to have

trances to the building have been
provided for stretcher cases.
Among the equipment purchased
by Dr. Thomas for the clinic,
which is Zebulon’s first, is an x
ray machine with a fluoroscopic
attachment for examination of
gastro-intestinal disorders; a dia
thermy machine for treatment of
sprains, bruises, arthritis, and sim
ilar ailments; and an autoclave,
of steam pressure sterilization
unit.
The delivery room of the clinic
has already been used in five suc

Dr. Thomas, a native of York,
S. C., is a graduate of Furman
University and the Medical Col
lege of South Carolina. A former
naval physician, he is married to
the former Miss Dorothy Davis of
Seaboard.

success as a wholesale druggist.

had said. “Who is she,” I asked.
“O,” he said, “she is really Mrs.
Hall; but when you go to school
you are supposed to call her
Miss Ida.’ ”
That was a great W. M. U. di
visional meeting at Clayton last
week; and every preparation had
been made for it. Although the
whole Johnston Association was
hostess, the greater part of the
work naturally had to be done by
