munity in Hopkins County, Oct. 19,
1890, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John-
nie Paterson. His father preceded
him in death five months and one
day.

Commerce; two daughters, Mrs. Ger-
aldine Emerson of Wichita Falls,
Baby Ruth of Commerce; a grand-
daughter, Mona Emerson of Wichita
Falls; his mother, Mrs. Frances Pat-
terson of Cumby, and the following
brothers and sisters: Otha Patterson
of Ridgeway, Mrs. Ida Turney, Hugo,
Okla.; Mrs. Lula Stearman of Dike,
Mrs. Cecjl Hogan of Commerce,
Claude Patterson of Sulphur Springs,
Mrs. Juanita Gregory of Cumby,
Fred, Grace, Kenwood and Helen of
Cumby. A number of other relatives
and friends.
Funeral services were held at his
home in Commerce Sunday after-
noon at 3 o’clock with Elder Ed
Mason in charge. Interment followed
in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery, be-
tween Cumby and Brashear.
“Loving and kind in all his ways,
Upright and just to the end of his
days;
Sincere and true in his heart and
mind,
A beautiful memory he left behind.
He had a nature you could not help
loving,
A heart that was purer than gold;
And to those who knew him and lov-
ed him
His memory will never grow cold.”
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

NOTICE TO
RURAL HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS
Rural students who are over the
scholastic age and cannot be trans-
ferred should get in touch with the
High School Principal. If you are 18
years of age or over and plan to come
to this high school this year, won’t
you please drop a postal card to L.
L. Thomas, High School Principal,
Sulphur Springs, Texas, so that we
may know how many rural students
are coming to high school, and pro-
vide the necessary classes. This ap-
plies to any student outside the Sul-
phur Springs District, whether you
have been in school here before of‘
not. Changes in rural school classifi-
cation will probably keep some away
who were here last year. V/e can get
an idea from the transfer list about
how many are coming within the
scholastic age, but will need this in-
formation on pupils above the schol-
astic age. Also, on this card say
whether you intend to take science
or foreign language.
Entrance Examinations to Be Given
Again.
On Tuesday, Sept. 10, entrance
examinations will be given again to
those who want to come here to
school and have ' not already taken
the examinations. Remember, all stu-
dents from unaccredited schools must
enter by examination, except those
coming from the 7th grade. Our aim
is to try to place each entering stu-
dent where he or she can do the
work satisfactorily, In most of the
cases where rural students drop out
of school, they have been placed
where they could not do the work
satisfactorily, became discouraged
and dropped out of school. It is econ-
omy from every standpoint to know
where you belong when you start,
then plan your work so that you will
be proud of your record when
through. A poor record is a source
of regret as long as you live. We
want you to make good, and feel that
it is to your advantage to be placed
where you have an even break with
the other members of the class. Our
experience last year showed that
very few pupils were placed too far
back. We did, however, find a good
many who were placed too far
ahead. We do make some adjust-
ment after school starts where it ap-
pears that we have started a pupil in
the wrong place, but it is much bet-
ter to be promoted than to be de-
moted after you start. Don’t forget
the date for the examinations, Sep-
tember 10, beginning at 8:30 in the
morning. If you plan to take the ex-
aminations, please drop a postal card
to the Principal so we can know how
many to prepare for.
Parents who live in rural districts:
We are glad to have your children in
school, all of them that you care to
send. We will do the very best we
know how for them and give them
every advantage anyone can claim in
this school. We have room for all
who care to come, and believe that
we can give training as good as can
be gotten in any school in the State.
Information as to registration and
classification will be published later
in the Echo.
