HARRISON TELLS
SOCIAL NEEDS
Of ATLANTA

What Atlanta needs Is a scientific
direction of all its social activities"
This was the statement made by
Shelby NJ. Harrison Wednesday, who
is here with Franz Schneider. Jr, and
Zenas L. Potter. at the request of the
Atlanta Chamber Of Commerce to
make an investigation of the city's
social and commercial needs. All are
experts from the department of sur
veys and exhibits Of the Russell Sage
Foundation.
Il am basing my observation, not
on what l have seen of Atlanta but
on what l have seen in practically
every city in which | have been IN
the United States" added Mr.. Harri-
son.
In the past cities have grown in a
haphazard, aimless manner They
have leaped into importance through
their natural advantages, but their
growth in many instances has not
been symmetrical. They have ignored
and neglected certain features they
are coming to-day to realize are abso-
lutely essential to their well-being
and continued progress.
Fairgrounds Overlooked.
Sometimes it has been Fairgrounds
and other provisions for the happi
ness and health Of the children that
have been overlooked in the breath
less race for wealth or 1t may be
that the sanitation has not been cared
for during the years of the cities
mushroom growth.
Whatever the situation Is, IL is the
purpose of these social surveys to
discover the causes that have retard-
ed a city's progress. that have low
cred its health conditions, that have
deprived il Of the commerce that is
its due, and to pick out any other de-
1Ciencies that have crept into the adj
ministration of what may be termed
its social activities,
"Of Atlanta we know very little as
yet. Tuesday we spent in getting our
geographical locations. We inter-
viewed "a few persons. but mostly we
busted ourselves with getting a gem
eral idea of the lay OF the city. We
were struck with the evident spirit Of
progress and prosperity.

Along with Mr.. Anderson's itemized
account of the funds, Mr. Fielder
makes the following statesment
which he addresses to the public:
MIR. Charles ]. Ryan, who was des-
ignated as custodian of the fund with
out his knowledge or consent, informs
me that he has already returned to
the contributors whatever money was
paid in to him.
"The Atlanta Journal, The Atlanta
Constitution and The Atlanta Geor-
gian subscribed 500 each. and I am
informed that certain subscriptions
were made to them. They have not
been paid in and are not expected
and the three newspapers are hereby
requested to return to the contrib
utors any sums that they have receiv-
ed.
an addition to the above and fore
going, permit me to say in conclusion
that additional sums aggregating sew
eral hundred dollars were subscribed
by the public, but were not paid, and
payment has not been and viii not be

Mr. Fielder further stated that he
would ask the Bar Association to pass
upon the regularity of his employment
in the Phagan case and make a report
upon il. He also declared his conneC-
tion with the controversy as ended.

ACCIDENTS CAN BE
EASILY PREVENTED
LARGE Percentage of the Accidents Are
Result Of CarIessneSs-Joy Rid
ing a Prominent Cause.

"A large percent Of the automobile
accidents could be avoided If the proper
precautions were taken" said R II.
Rinehart, vice president Of the FL Paso
Auto club.
lone of the greatest dangers is when
an automobile driver in a rear car tries
to make the one in front eat his dust
On one side of the forward car or di
rectly in front may be another machine,
buggy or pedestrian, which, to the
driver of the rear car, is not within his
sight. Invariably when passing ma!
chimes in this manner, that is, from the
rear the driver opens his cutout and
by increasing his speed, passes the ma
chine in front so fast that he dOeSn
see the other occupant of the road un-
til nearly upon him. The result is an
accident.
Because car is hired" says Mr..
Rinehart. many people think the
driver should do things that common
sense tells him he should not A little
extra change temps the driver to com
ply with the passengers request to
speed up. If the occupant of the car
would not tempt him, the chauffeur
would not be inclined TO break the
speed and traffic laws and the news
paper would not be filled every day
with accounts Of catastrophies.
by standing on busy street cor
ner, you viii readily observe how many
accidents result from the carelessness
of pedestrians and not through the
fault Of automobile drivers In every
direction you will see people crossing
busy streets reading a newspaper or
talking with a friend; in fact doing
most anything except paying attention
to where they are going. If they would
cut square corners and look both ways
before crossing. you would not hear of
so many accidents. The public must
help the traffic policemen. if the police
are to help the aUtOmobilists.
Coy riding is another reason why
automobile accidents are continually
I increasing. The occupants of the ma
chine is this case are absolutely at the
mercy Of the driver. The reckless and
daredevil spirit gets the best of him
and many cases have resulted disas-
trously."
