now given the duty OF compiling and

Here are the facts as shown by In

The payless army of Oahu is once
again commencing to worry over its

set for the prying off of few jingling

of the enlisted men seeing the color

The situation is, somewhat peculiar,
and the army paymaster here is dis

He Blames Stage
Door Johnnies.
Editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
l have read with a great deal of
care all articles published in all At
lanta papers during the last few
days regarding the moral house
cleaning of Atlanta. In this move
the cheap theater is also included.
and along this line l would like to
offer a suggestion to those inter
ested in the work. and believe that
if they will follow my advice on
the matter. the cheap theater prob
lem will be solved in quick order.
To begin with, l have been a the
atrical agent in, Atlanta for twelve
years. and in close touch with the
theatrical situation here in all lines.
and have watched the cheap thea
ters and cheap shows and must ad-
init that it is serious.
The trouble with the cheap thea
ter does not lie with the employ
ment of these girls. but with the
stage Johnnies that hang around
the theater entrance and entice
these girls out to the clubs and
other resorts.
There seems to be a fascination
for stage girls among a certain
class of men, A girl may work in
factory at three per and never be
molested, but let this same girl go
to work in a chorus i'm one of the
local cheap theaters. and some one
of the well known society Johnnies
will become attracted at once and,
with his automobile to back his
tiashy dress, he does not find it
hard to tempt these girls after the
show for a JOY ride.
Now, let the police and good
workers get after the Johnnies.
Let Judge Broyles send a few of
the would-be sports to the stockade
for a long period, and you viii soon
find that if you take away this
nuisance from the stage door the
girls will soon learn that they must
look upon the show business as
they do any other line, and as
means of making a good salary

What Children Want.

Children want to go somewhere.
They want to see things, and this
constant desire for motion. move
ment, new scenery. new ideas, new
sensations, is all a natural part of
the great evolution of the individ-
ual.
The child learns through his
senses, and should learn in joy.
The thing that interests him. that
holds his attention. is the thing
that is educating him
The use of moving pictures is
being advocated in a great number
of schools. from the grades up to
postgraduate courses.
There was a time when a piano
in a private home was considered
the very height of luxury. Now the
most modest cottage contains a
serviceable instrument.
l can remember when the Reming-
ton typewriter was exhibited at
Philadelphia at the Centennial ex-
position. Operators We're desired,
and an advertisement was placed in
the Philadelphia papers for men or
women to run these machines. A
postscript was added to the adj
vertisement thus: "Only those who
can play the piano need apply"
1t was supposed that the degree
of digital skill acquired in playing
a piano was requisite in running

We all said that the typewriter
was a very wonderful plaything.
and the way the operator would
print your name out on a slip and
hand it to you made us think we
had achieved fame. We folded UP
the precious slip and carried it

The Fault Always Lies
With His Older Associates.

Then it is an easy matter to max.
that child feel a keen delight in
doing little acts OF kindness and
performing little duties for the
parent. And with no thought OF
graft; for that is precisely what it
is, when child is always on the
alert to receive some money return
for every act
Whatever is wrong in child,
the fault lies with his older asso-
ciates.
Every man who is in prison for
deceiving the people in his misuse
of power and his misapplication OF
influence, could have been made
impervious to temptation if he had
been rightly reared the first four
teen years of his life.
A fashionable boarding or mill
tary school does not supply the
kind Of education referred to.
That must come from personal
association with an older person.
whose mind is wholesome, and
whose principles are high, and who
makes it a solemn and beautiful
duty to awaken the young being to
an understanding of life in its very
truest and best sense.
Not by talking religion or phi
losophy, but by making clear the
small personal responsibility which
rests on each human to become the
very finest and best type OF his
race, and to begin being this type,
by scOrning whatever is petty,
small, ignoble and mercenary, and
by cultivating whatever is big and
broad and altruistic and helpful.
while developing the qualities
which will lead to independence
and success

preston on the senses is educating
the child. Impressions on the brain
through the sense of sight is the
easiest possible way to teach. In
fact, it is the natural way to teach.
There is q fascination in motion
just note the crowds around any
