In the face of the possible scarcity
of homes for delegates to the State
Parent-Teacher convention here next
week, Prof. M. NJ Phillips, superin-
tendent OF the city schools makes
the appended earnest appeal to tho
Homes of Paris"
To The Homes of Paris.
am availing myself of this m cans
and opportunity of presenting to you
a matter that vitally concerns your
little city, you, and your children,
and / have the confidence In you
that you will not fail to rally to
cause when you realize It's signifi-
canoe and value.
Many loyal parents, friends and
teachers of Paris have maintained
a live wide-awake, active and effie-
lent Parent-Teacher Association for
the past several years and no one
doubts the very efficient service it
has rendered the children of our
schools. II has accomplished such
noteworthy results that it is known
all over the state, and even beyond
her confines. Such a reputation has
caused the Tennessee Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion to long for an opportunity to
meet with us. Hence last spring the
local association extended an invita-
ton to this state organization to
meet with us in this month, Oc-
tober 27 to 29. The invitation was
accepted and already more than
eighty delegates have signified their
intentions of being with us.
This state organization has seldom
met heretofore in any of the smaller
towns. Most OF the meetings have
been In Memphis, Nashville, Chatta-
nooga, Knoxville and Jackson, Our
little city is thus destinctly honored
by having this meeting this time
Now, Homes, what are you going
to do about the entertainment of
these delegates? At present 81 dele
gates out of about 1875 in sight are
provided homes, and it seems that
most Of the homes 'la'e been solicit
ed to take delegates. / am sure we
cannot afford to fall down in the
entertainment OF these people. We
nave LOO much pEiue III our HlStOrlc
little city and in the children to let
this important matter go unproyided
for. Many of us have rented out
our rooms and have very few spare
rooms, but we can sacrifice our own
rooms by putting an extra number
of the family in one room for three
nights that We may accommodate
these visitors, One family said "yYe
can go into one small room and give
entertainment to two" Another one
said, I'VE will take two, and if
necessary our family of several, can
go into one room, and we can take
two more Such cooperation as
this Will entertain these delegates,
ami In no other way can il be done
am sure you are going to do
your part Because of your pride In
Paris, and your interest in the child
hood of your little city. IL you can
entertain some of these people, please
call Mrs. c. w. McGehee, telephone
425, give your name and the number
you will take. Do not wait for the
committee to call on you. Let us
make this the best meeting ever held,
and if you will put forth the effort
you are capable of there will be no
doubt about the result. Motto.
Everybody pulling together for the
biggest and best meeting of Tennes-
