Superintendent Sutton's Weekly Letter
February 13, 1938.
My dear Boys and Girls:
Last week I wrote you about how to preserve for ourselves he me le and how important home life is to each and every one of us. May I write you this week about cleanliness and beauty in our home.
A few days ago I had a conference with Mrs. J. R. Little, chairman for the Federation of Women's Clubs of Atlanta and she was telling me about how the Federation was working to make Atlanta a grander and better place in which to live and I promised her that I would write you and ask you sixty-five thousand boys and girls to join with the Federation of Women's Clubs who have been working on this proposition for twenty years and help to make Atlanta a cleaner and better place in which to live.
They wish to make this Clean-up Campaign a fifty-two week campaign-every week in the year! They wish to join with the Women's Chamber of Commerce and with all others interested. but they do want our boys and girls to help carry forward this campaign of making Atlanta a cleaner and better place. And I could think of no better place for you to begin than in and about your home.
Let's make home a cleaner place: let's begin in our room with our own bed and our own chair and the things that we ourselves use in our homes. Let us begin with the cleanliness of our own person and then see to it that home is made a better and cleaner and more attractive place, and that the premises are beautiful with flowers and grass. No matter how small or how humble the home may be, it can be made beautiful by cleanliness. Will you not help us?
Always your friend,
WILLIS SUTTON.
Superintendent of Schools.
