from his campaigning to run into At

Young At1anta11s Like Fiction Best
CHILDREN BOOK LOVERS

Ooh, look, Franks got love sto-
ry!"
The exclamation came from a group
of little boys and girls coming out of
the Carnegie library.
One mischievous boy of eight had
spied the book under his playmate's
arm and instantly cried out its signifi-
canoe to his companions Frank turned
red and struggled to get off to himself
while the other lads crowded around
him, and in true boyish manner guyed
one of their number who would deign
to read one of those silly love sto-
ries.'
The little girls-there were three In
the party-stood off at distance. They
giggled at Franks visible discontinue.
Secretly they approved of his choice of
book.
The little incident started an inquiry
as to just what the youngsters Of At
lanta are reading these days and de-
veloped the fact that the old fashioned
thriller has been put on the shelf-or
rather taken off

Nowadays so many educational

Physicians of Atlanta will be enlisted
in the fight started by Dr. w. J. Auten,
9S4 Hemphill avenue. to remedy the
conditions at the Girls High school,
which he blames for the death of his
daughter, Edith Marian Auten.
At the same time some promise of
action came in statements from w. R
Daley, president of the board of educa-
ton, and Alderman James E. Warren,
chairman of the council committee on
schools, both of whom declare public
sentiment would not tolerate the exist
ing conditions.
DIT. Auten charges that the death of
his daughter, Miss Edith Marian Auten.
1912 graduate of the Girls High
school, is directly traceabe to the lack
of heating facilities and the fact that
she lost so much time at the school
last winter and had to study late at
night to catch up. with her classes.
To Ask Aid of Doctors.
II am going to see DIR. L. c. Fisher,
who was associated with me in treat
ing my daughter during her last illness,
and ask him to join me in putting the
matter before the physicians. l dislike
to take the part am taking in this af-
fair, but some one has to, and to no
one else has 1t been brought so forcibly
as TO me and my family.
Edith was a splendid student. When
a fifteen-yea old girl she won the es-
say prize in a contest in which the
school children of the entire state were
competing She went through the full
grammar school grades and never
missed promotion, and she kept that
record when she entered the high
school
Particularly in her last year at the
high school she suffered from the add
ed work on account of having to lose so
much time when the class would be
dismissed on cold days.
Edith lost more time from school
during her graduating year" added DR..
Auten, than she had done in her en-
tire school course.
Her Constitution Weakened.
when she graduated her mother was
forced to keep her in bed all day so
that she might appear on the stage to

ICES the treatment Atlanta gives its girl
pupils.
There is talk today of building a
new school house for the Boys High
school and Of building the new house
for the English commercial depart
ment of the Girls High school. Well,
these are both good plans; Atlanta GER
tainly needs them, but l want to ask
are they going to be built after the
fashion of the building that killed nv
child?
1.-THE conditions under which the pu-
pills at the Girls High school have to
study are absolutely unbelievable and
in no other city but Atlanta would they
be tolerated
Day after day Edith would come
home with her feet as cold as blocks of

ward on Woodward avenue, Glenn
stree, Kelly street, Glennwood avenue
and Grant street, and that he had ex-
hausted his patience trying to get these
streets fixed. He said the citizens were
ready to hold indignation meetings.
Can't Force Car Company.
Captain Clayton said the city law
provides that the Georgia Railway and
Power Company should put streets in
their original condition when they were
torn up for new tracks, but that he had
no authority to force the company to
fix the streets. A committee of Alder
men Warren, Ragsdale and Councilman
Vaughan was appointed to take up this
matter with the trolley company and
get the streets fixed.
Councilman ]. J. Greer declared that
no work had been done in his ward
passed up by council and which was
expected to be done this year would be
done.

Alderman Gambler said some people
wanted to hang him because he had
said the city was in a hole several days
ago.
It was brought out that two miles Of
sidewalks are being laid on both sides
Of Greenwood avenue, and that there
are not a dozen houses the whole dis
lance. while no work is being done on
many bad streets in thickly populated

missed for as much as a week at a
| time on account of the terrible cold in
the room, and then these girls had to
study twice as hard to make up this
lost time.
Fears For Other Child.
What has happened to my daughter
who graduated this year may happen to
Esther, my younger daughter. who will
be in the third grade this fall. or 1t may
happen to the daughters of any one of
my neighbors. None of them can real
ize it as I can, for it has been forced
upon me.
Now. what 1 want to ask the physi-
clans of Atlanta to do is to go before
the public in a body and tell them just
exactly what such deplorable conditions
in the Girls High school are going to
lead to; tell the public something, that
every father and mother ought to know
already, Of the physical makeup Of
girls of high school age; tell them the
certain result of weakening them if
they are forced to stay all day in rooms
President Daley Of the school board
declared that the sanitary condition Of
the school was good, but that the poor
heating system and the general con-
struction of the building endangered
the lives Of the young women by bad
colds, pneumonia and similar diseases.
Il am very sorry to learn of the
death of the young woman" he said.
Without regard to the merit of the
fathers charge, it dramatically calls
the councils attention to a need that
has been neglected"
Board Asked For Heating Plant.
Mr.. Daley told how the board of edu-
cation had requested the council for
funds for a new heating system as an
immediate necessity, and urged an en-
| tirely new Girls High school building.
Funds have not been provided for
either. He said he denounced the con-
dttion of the school at the graduation
| exercises
An investigating committee from the
| board found that there are fourteen
separate heating systems and four
stoves in the building" he said. Last
year it was necessary to dismiss school
on number of days on account Of
| inadequate heat. The whole building,
made up of several separate buildings,
is an old trap and should be torn
down"
No appropriation has been made for
a new heating system, and similar con-
ditions will obtain next year unless
something is done soon.
Alderman Warren said that there
was no doubt that the condition Of the
building is very bad He recalled a
| statement made by Miss Nettie Sar-
gent, former principal. that one of the
young women contracted pneumonia
while attending school there last win
ter
But l don't think there was the
slightest chance for any one to contract
typhoid fever as a result Of conditions
at the school," he said. "A person in
the finest physical condition would have
hard fight with malignant typhoid
fever"
