VACATION SCHOOL
PROJECT WINNER
Head of the Movement Sees
Opening of New Life for
Children.

Dr. Marion Hall, in charge of the
summer vocational schools of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement, with
W. w. Orr and ]. ]. Eagan. of the Bible
study board, noted remarkable progress
by Atlanta children on tour of in
spection Of the newly established
schools today.
Il am highly pleased with the work
and can see that it is opening up a new
life for the young people" said Dr. Hall
at the conclusion of the visit. I'VE
will endeavor to enlarge the schools at
once"
The trip of inspection began shortly
before 10 o'clock and lasted until
complete examination of the work in
the four schools had been made.
Children busily engaged in drawing.
sewing, weaving and other arts, as well
as giving time for singing and simple
study of the Bible, were found in the
schools-al in churches or public
school rooms. Three of them are for
white children, located in Wesley Nc
mortal and the Emmanuel Baptist
churches and the Exposition Cotton
Mills school. The fourth, for negro
children. Is being held at the Richland
established by the Central Presbyterian
church.
In the morning hours the children are
given lessons in industrial arts, are
taught lessons from religious works
and later are grouped for number Of
religious songs. Then they are in
structed in athletic exercises, or are
taken for little picnics. Some of them
have been given hourly automobile
rides in cars furnished by Atlanta men
behind the work.
There are no expert teachers con-
nected with the schools, but the results
would not indicate it. Every teacher is
a college or high school student, but
they have brought the young attend
ants to an astonishingly high plane Of
living. A great deal of time Is given ia
emphasizing the necessity of good hab-
its and good morals and the children
have readily responded to the teach
ings.
Each week the teachers meet with
Rev G. R. Buford, superintendent Of
the schools, for brief conference, and
at this meeting plans for the week are
thoroughly discussed
Already many plans for enlargement
and advancement of the work have
been laid, and when the schools open
at the next vacation period, in June,
1913, larger halls for the groups of chill
dren will be necessary, 1t is thought.
The schools have at present 1.147 chill
dren attending them, which grew from
537 six weeks ago

PUT OFF TRAIN FOR
WRONG TICKET, SHE
NOW ASKS 100000

The suit for $4,000, which Mrs. J. C.
Duggard, of Douglasville. brought in the
Cobb county superior court against the
Southern Railway company, was trans
ferred today to the Federal court and will
be set for the fall term.
Mrs. Duggard alleges that on March 10
OF this year she was given the wrong
ticket by the ticket agent at Dougasville
and when she got on the train found
that she had a ticket to Birmingham.
Ala. instead of to Pelham, Ga, where
she wanted to go. She says she was put
off the train at Austell and was forced to
delay her arrival in Pelham until next
DAY. Bodily injury from having to remain
in an unheated station at Austell in the
early morning and the humiliation OF
being put off the train, coupled with the
anguish suffered because her grandson
was supposed to be dying at Pelham are
given as grounds for the suit
