To THE RURAL TEACHERS Of
DREW COUNTY

fwsh to call your attention to the
Drew county Literary and Athletic
Association which meets on the first
Saturday in September and was dis
cussed at some length during our
eacher's Inst tute.
A eoodlv number of our rural teach
ers showed themselves to be in hearty
sympathy with this movement and
we feel sure that calling your atten-
tion to this matter will be sufficient
We real re that this association has
for its sole purpose the mental,
physical, and social development of
the children in our rural schools, and
as far as | know, this is the only
organization that our rural teachers
have in developing these phases as
mentioned above.
Thij is not new organization as
some might think. but one that has
rendered valuable service to number
of our schools in Drew county and the
those schools which have taken an
active part from year to year and are
today the foremost schools of our
rural section.
am sure there is not one of US who
doses not realize the value of commu-
nity activity and l can think of no
better stimulus for promoting this
activity than for each community lead
BY its teacher to organize team to
compete with neighboring team in all
phases of activities offered by this
associat en.
This is day of organizations "a
mong our men and women IN the
commercial and industrial world, and
we are not bl nd as to the results they
have accomplished. And to me, this
association of teachers offers great
field of usefulness the extent of which
can c.1lv he limited by said teachers
and community.
Let us make this the biggest event
II its kind in the history Of the
by having every school IN
the county represented.
Yours for better rural schools,
8. c. ROBERTSON. President.

4COLORD CLUB RALLEY.

Last Friday. July 18th is a day
which will long and pleasantly
remembered by more than 300 men,
bers of the Colored Agricultural Clubs
+ of Drew county.
! The occasion was the Annual Boys
and Girl Club Rally which was held
at the Monticello Public School Build
ing. Before 8 O'Clock representatives
of the farthermost Clubs, those Of
Longyiew and Plantersville, were on
the grounds.
The following business men o.
Mont cello had consented to be pres
ent and made some of the most help
full and inspiring addresses:
Mayor W A. Moffatt. Mr.. H. P.
Cruce, Cashier Drew County Bank
Mr.. c. E. Carter, of the Drew County
Profitable Farming Bureau, Mr. H.
T. Slemons, Pres. S. E. Ark. Fair
Associat on. Mr.. w. B. Pace, County
Demonstration Agent, Mr.. B. f. Tai
ley, county Cattle Tick Inspector.
Lack of space forbids the deserved
comment ca each speakers remarks,
but suffice it to say that each adj
dress had its individual points and
aims which were fully appreciated by
the hearers.
lf ha int
instructive talks of the meeting was
given by Miss Leila Goodwin, Home
Demonstration Agent for Drew coun-
ty. Miss Goodwin related several in
teresting incidents in her career as
County Agent and impressed upon the
women and girls the necessity Of fol-
lowing directions closely in order to
succeed in their work She gave as the
Club work slogan Make the best better
After these addresses lunch was
served Ice cream and lemonade were
dispensed freely to everybody, the eX-
penses of the same being bourn by the
various Community Clubs of the cousl-
ty. Very satisfactory reports of work
done in different Communities were
then heard.
The feature of the Rally which
probably brought the most pleasure
to all was the free Moving Picture
Show given by Mr.. W E. SPENCE.
manager of the A-Muse-U Theatre.
There was large number of both
children and adults who had never
witnessed movie" and that was in
deed revelation to them. However
everybody enjoyed the show which
was both instructive and amusing.
Thus passed the day. We feel that.
as a result of the demonstration work,
the colored people of Drew county
are beeom ng not only interested in
better Agricultural methods. but in
better living conditions in general.
and that this work is assisting them
IN becoming more valuable asset in
the proper development of our COM
