Did He Fly. An interesting question
is before a jury in the superior court,

Brawley for an exhibition of flying in

have complained that the flying was
not up to specifications. Mr.. Martin al
leges that the atmospheric conditions
made it impossible to rise far from
the ground, and that he was not re
sponsible for those conditions. He
seeks $500 under the contract. Mr..

be satisfactory route for transcon-
tinental travel. This will, at least for
the time being, take the place which it
was designed shauld be filled by the
Mammoth wash or the Holtville routes.
and makes it certain that travel will
pass through the valley. Traffic to
LBS Angeles will go north to Brawley
from CaleXico, thence west by Mecca,
while traffic to San Diego will come
north to Ell Centro thence on the coun-
ty highway.

Einht Over AernnIane Case

Bfa Wley News !: In the Superl or
court Thursday will be heard the ech
oes Of the Fourth of July celebra ton
at Brawley, when Aviator Glenn Martin
will endeavor to convince a jury that
hop, skip and jump is a bona fde
flight.
Martin was hired by the fiesta com
mittee of Brawley two years ago to
give an exhibition flight in an aero =
plane. At that time all airship navi-
cation was a novelty and this was to
be the first flight below sea level
Martins machine was brought to
Brawley, but much to the dsappoint-
ment of big crowd which had gath
cred the flight was a failure on the
first day. The same thing occurred on
the second.
The committee offered to settle with
Martin for $1,000 the contract being
for $500. He agreed to take $1,000, but
this was not forthcoming. Then suit
was started and is now just coming to
trial.
Pending an adjustment, the money
left from the fiesta bills was placed
in the city hall safe, where its where
abouts was believed to be known only
to the city employees and J. w. Klasgye,
the chairman of the committee. A
year ago, when the turnover in city
officials occurred, the money was miss
ing. and Notwithstanding a grand jury
investig alton, no trace of it was dis
covered.

Decatur is involved in a charter re-

favor are confident they viii win.
The City Council has passed the
following resolution:
Opposed by Council.
" Whereas, there is to be submitted
to the voters of the town of Decatur
on November 8, the question of
adopting or rejecting certain amend
ments to the charter, OF said town,

MRS. ATKINSON
TAKES ISSUE
WITH bR0YLES
Club Chairman Of Committee on
Education Declares Rod Has
Never Been Useful.

Agreeing heartily with Judge Nash
R. Broyles that the day is not far dis
tant when corporal punishment for
children, both in the home and the
school, win be a thing of the past,
and that the rod is a relic of bar
barism and destined TO be abolished
from modern life, Mrs. Spencer At
binson, No. SIS Piedmont avenue,
chairman OF the committee on edu-
cation of the Atlanta women's Club,
takes issue with the Recorder in his
statement that the time for its abol-
ishment has not yet arrived.
In an interview with The Georgian
Thursday Mrs. Atkinson declared
emphaticaily that the time for It's
abolishment has arrived; in fact, that
corporal punishment should never
have been reSorted to-.
She chara cterized the rod as being
of little value as corrective meas
ure, because 1t unnecessarily humil-
lated the child and exposed him to
the ridicule of. his fellows. All chill
dren, Mrs. Atkinson declared, are ca
pablo of being controlled by other
and gentler methods.
81 fully - agree with Recorder
Broyles, said Mrs. Atkinson. with
the exception of his statement that
the time for the adjustment Of the
rod and corporal punishment has not
vet arrived. ] think that time has
always been with us. I do not think
there was. ever a time when corporal
punishment was absolutely essential
10 the welfare of a child.
II wish it understood that any opin-
IONS ! might express on the subject
are purely personal, ard should no, be
taken as a reflection Of the attitude
of the Women's' Club, nor as an ex-
preston of the opinions of any mem
Der of the club. l hav, no children Of
my own, and am hardly qualified to
speak on corporal punishment in the
home.
II do not, however favor corporal
punishment in the schools, because
do not think 1t Is necessary. The pa
rent has no voice in the selection Of q
teacher of a public school, and q child
under no circumstances should be
subjected by such an official to cor
porals punishment. Whether or not
the parent selecting q private teacher
should confer upon that teacher the
power to infiict corporal punishment
upon. the pupil admits of the grav-
est possible question.
Whether or not the parent should
exercise such authority directly nee
essarily depends largely upon the
temperament of both parent and child,
My own opinion is, however that
every child is capable of being con-
trolled by other and gentler methods
and such as will neither unneces-
sarily humiliate it nor expose it to
the ridicule of its fellows"
