50 Attend
Interesting
PTA Meet
The approximately 50 persons
who attended Monday night's
monthly imeeting of the Frank
lin Parent-Teacher association
heard two interesting talks and
were shown a number of na
ture slides in color that had
just arrived for use at the
school as a part of Its visual
education program. The slides
were shown by Principal George
H. Hill.
A collection was taken for the
infantile paralysis fund, with
the groi.p's contributions total
ing $31.40.
The speakers were the Rev.
A. Rufui Morgan, president 01
the association, and the Rev.
W. Jackson Huneycutt.
Citing apt illustrations. Mr.
Huneycutt pointed out that life
U made up of sacrifices in ord
er that the life of mankind may
go on, constantly improved and
enriched.
Mr. Morgan quoted an educa
tion authority as remarking
that the consolidation of schools
has the effect of removing
from individual communities
one of the chief community
centers, the neighborhood school,
and thus tends to break up the
community as a unit. The
speaker added that the churches
have made the mistake of em
phasizing the town, rather than
the country, in their work, and
thus have accelerated the
break-up of the rural commun
ity.
Pointing out that there are
many values in the country
areas that are well worth pre
serving, Mr. Morgan suggest
ed that, in the approaching
school consolidations in this
county, the school houses be re
tained and used as community
centers.
A committee, made up of Mr.
Huneycutt, Mrs. S. H. Lyle, Jr.,
and R. S. Jones, was named to
arrange to have gravel put on
the walks at the school, with
a view to remeding the muddy
conditions that have prevailed
there much of the time during
the winter.
Miss Maybyrl Moody's sixth
grade room had the largest
number of parents present, with
Mrs. Elizabeth Guffey's first
grade room in second place. The
attendance check also revealed
a number of persons in atten
dance from other schools ? five
from Iotla, three from Cowee,
one from Otto, and one from
Oak Ridge.
Jos. Ashear, county chairman
for the Victory Clothing Col
lection, spoke briefly, asking the
support of the association's
members.
The Rev. D. P. Grant con^
ducted the devotions, Mr. Mor
gan presided, and Mr. Huney
cutt was program chairman.
The Winnipeg Grain Exchange
was formed in 1908.
The expense of making high
crop yields and high livestock
production' is justified by in
creased profits to farmers. Dean
I. O. Schaub of the State Ex
tension service, declares.
