NOW Is the Time For improvements.
Harry L. schlesinger, one of the most sue
cessful business men of Atlanta, and one of the
leading spirits in that progressive city, advocates
the issuance of about 81, 100000 worth Of city
bonds for schools, city hall, parks sewerage, pay
ing and business stimulation.
Mr. Schlesinger is characterized as a cautious,
skeptica yet open minded man, when radical pro
posals arc put forward; forceful, determined,
energetic and enthusiastic by the Atlanta papers.
He is of the kind of men that built Atlanta and
built every other great city. He is in extreme
contrast with the parsimonious, pessmistc, pusil'
Luminous, "puddenhad" with whom the progress
sive men in every locality have to wrestle when
anything of importance is proposed.
The Constitution in commenting on Mr.. Schlcs-
inger's proposition says:
''Here is an opportunity to make actual
tangible progress toward greater healthier
more beautiful Atlanta; to buy ''NEED-
ED GOODS ON A LOW MARKET; TO
PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR THOU.
SANDS OF LABORERS."
Delaying improvements is a sad mistake for
any community needing improvements that can be
made now cheaper than when business is brisk.
The money can be borrowed now cheaper be:
cause Of the fact that money lenders arc seeking
such investments as bond issues, and are eagerly
bidding good premiums for bonds bearing low
rate of interest.
NOW is the time for Fitzgerald to build
school houses and put i'll sewerage, and make other
necessary improvements, when money, labor and
materials are all cheap.

They know that the 'child brain" is like sponge

Its doors have always been open to helpless white
