The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-01-05

which every woman in Montgomery could do good at. benefit to herself and to her neighborhood as well as to the | city in general. There is nothing like example in this line. Get one woman in gathering to put her hand up to her head and begin adjusting her combs and puffs and stray hairs, the while looking steadily at the heads of some of her companions. In a short time every woman in the company will have begun the work of rearranging her hair. It is the same way with the l woman and her front yard. Let one on a block of equally good citizens begin 1 beauttfying her outdoor premises and the contagion will sprecd. It goes from house to house like fire on windy l day unless there is some very stubborn | wet blanket on inc block. The yards in Montgomery are not in keeping with the other general progress and pros- perity of the city. That is. in some portions of the c:tv.
 MONTGOMERY COUNTY SCHOOL
 IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. When the recent conference of the School Improvement Association of the State was held in Montgomery, the l need of an association for this county 1 was realized by many who attended 1 those meetings, and listened to the re- 1 ports of work being done in other | counties of the State. Several teachers of schools in the rural districts asked that such an association should be l formed, setting forth in pathetic terms 1 the condition of their surroundings, and their desire to have these improv- ed. and offering hearty cooperation. | With the holiday season so near, and l the rainy weather which would have proved decided hindrance in further ing the work, 1t was thought best to | walt until the new year before start ing such an organization The time is here now when a beginning should be made, in no matter how small & way. | The work is progressing rapidly and | successfully in other counties, there is no reason why Montgomery should be behind others in developing an inter- est which Is so far reached.
 It is not alone the school, but the family, the citizen. the future law maker who feels the broadening. elevating influence which emanates from the school-room.
 The women of the city have proved most successful in their local work, and 1t Is asked that they assist in this broader field as well. with acquired knowledge they can prove invaluable aids with their advice and sugges- tions.
 A meeting for organizing the Mont gomery County School Improvement Association will be held at the Car negie Library. Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. and 1t is hoped that large attendance will show many are inter- bested in this work.
