The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1921-05-14

recreation. / believe man was Gre
ated to enjoy these good and beauti-
full things in the world. believe in
cooperation. l think we can accom-
plish more by teaching the boys and
girls cooperation through recreation
and play; how to be democratic by
bringing them on the Fairgrounds
and getting acquainted with the 9TH
er fellow. Haven't you heard moth
or say, when you were boy, stay
away from that boy, as he is a bad
boy" Now we have an opportunity
to give that bad boy a. chance, by
giving him place to have good,
wholesome recreation, which any boy
or girl enjoys, and they will not md
time to be bad; they will enjoy their
work and play. do not believe
there are many bad children. If they
had occupation and recreation, they
would not be mischievious. We hope
to make the Municipal Fairgrounds
and Fair Grounds one OF the biggest
assets OF Brookhaven. We hope that
when anyone leaves Brookhaven,
they will talk about the Municipal
Playground. believe it will have
a tendency to make Brookhaven and
its vicinity grow, as fathers and
mothers always want to live in
town or community where 1t will
improve their children's condition
and make them happy.
We want to thank you again, as
every member of the committee is
earnestly interested in the welfare
Of your children and the success of
the Municipal Fairgrounds.
We thank you.
MR.. BRADY'S TALK.
Hon. T. Brady then spoke with his
usual vim and vigor on a subject
near to his heart-co-operation-
1t relates to the highest development
OF our young people of the public
schools. Mr.. Brady's address was
one of the most appropriate and in
spring to old and young alike ever
delivered here at an educational
meet. 1t emphasized the democracy
of the public school and the uplift
Of the crowd. Mr., Brady's speech
was impromptu and The Leader is,
therefore. unable to publish it.
