The Warm Springs Advertiser, 1930-11-14

Why should Warm Springs not have a VERY successful newspaper since through other papers the place is known throughout the United States? Someone said the name is mucii bigger than the place. That's true of all noted places. So Strat Stratford-On-Avon, - ford-On-Avon, Stratford-On-Avon, Shakesphere's home. So Monticello, Jefferson's home. So Mount Vernon, Washington's home. Now a great school (which means really a good school) can help make a place great. That is exactly what Warm Springs school wishes to do for its community. We have a fine start - the best children for pupils in the whole Empire State of the south. They seem to be anxious to do just what the teachers want them to do. And these pupils are capable of doing all asked of them too. Hence a grand future for Warm Spring school. These children must have been rear reared - ed reared by the biblical kind of parents that train up a child in the way that he should go. Therefore we have the material to make the place great or good through its school. Did Harvard University not make Cambridge famous throughout the worhl? Were not the little college towns of our be beloved - loved beloved Georgia made known to the country by and through the grand and noble institutions of learning and cul culture? - ture? culture?
