SCHOOL HEALTH
CONDITIONS BAD
Expert Says 1922 Per Cent of
White Pupils in Atlanta
Are Defective.

That 32.2 per cent of all Atlanta's
white children are defective and that
III per cent Of the negro school chill
dren are similarly afflicted was the
statement made by DIR. Robert G.
Stephens. medical superintendent of
city schools
The superintendent's annual report
urges immediate action by the board
and appropriations by council to aid
the doctors and nurses already engaged
in examinations and treatment in the
city's effort to remedy this situation.
In effect, the report of the superin-
tendent shows that enlarged glands, de-
fective teeth. nasal and tonsil trouble
We're the chief ailments of the afflicted
pupils Peducolis skin diseases. heart
and lung trouble also are prevalent and
distressingly large number of chill
dren suffer from malnutrition.
43.2 Per Cent Treated.
Five thousand four hundred thirty
seven white children were recommended
for treatment In the past year, while
4s.2 pr cent received treatment Treat
ment of colored children was discon-
tinued during the year owing to lack
of funds.
The report shows that glasses were
fitted to 12O children during the year;
upon their tonsils, and that 1875 were
; treated for adenoids.
The superintendent says that the
method of reaching the defective chill
dren with remedies constituted one of
the most satisfactory results of his
administration. Wherever examine tor
showed the necessity of treatment the
parents were notified and they either
| furnished the medical attention them
selves or nurses and doctors from the
board of education were sent to the lit
tie ones aid.
Free Treatment For tuberculosis.
The board announced one of the most
important moves OF the years work
in the adoption Vt Superintendent Sla

ment of a teacher to the Battle Hill
sanitarium for tubercular patients
Through this action pupils excluded
| from the city schools on account of tu-
bercular trouble will receive free IN
strucion at the sanitarium. Similar
action is to be taken in aid of the deaf
and dumb children of the city.

TRADES POODLES

Why This 0kIahoma-T Texas
Biloxi Gent Is So Generous
Is a Puzzle.

If any one has canine of uncertain
species he would like to exchange for
nice, white, frizzly poodle of aristo-
cratic breed and temperament. he can
do so by catching a Marietta trolley
car, getting off at the end and inquir-
ing for A. H Horne.

With him he carried a string of poodle

They scrambled all over each other as
they passed down the street. and when
halted temporarily at the street car
station they caused small riot among
the women and children.
When asked what he was going to
do with them Mr.. Horne said he wished
to exchange them for dogs Of low orr
gin.
Can Not Divulge His See cret.
When politely asked his reason for
such an unusual procedure, he smiled
and said that for policy's sake he could
give no reason. This same answer was
given when he was asked where he got
the poodles.
After Horne's departure, speculation
was rife as to what was the significance
Of it all. Some one suggested that he
probably was making hair mattresses
and that the hides Of poodles could not
be used to advantage.
A policeman said he knew. Every
body stopped and listened. He was a
toxicoogist. said the policeman. And
then there liked to have been another
riot. Toxicologist-and from a police

terfuge by way of allaying the suspl-
