harmless; children love it, and it

7lLEY SEES DANGERIN
oIERCROWD|NC Of CITY
SCHOOLS; URGES RELIEF

The light shines straight into the
faces OF many of them. That the
conditions are unhealthy is proved by
the fact that children frequently
rant and parents are constantly com
planning about their children's health.
High Schools Bad.
Conditions in many other schools
are not much better than this extreme
case. II grown folks had to attend
the schools the faults in the system,
would long ago have been corrected.
But children don't know how to make
effective complaints TO politicians.
The Edgewood avenue and Inman
Park schools are perhaps in a worse
condition than the Highland avenue
school. There children are being
taught in damp easements. There
bad air, bad light and bad health
go band in hand. And the children
who are subjected to these surround
ings come from attractive and COM
Portable homes. Their parents wouli
not think of allowing them to live
amid such conditions at home.
That the relief of school children
should be the main program of the
City Council next year is shown by
an outline by Colonel Daley of the
number of new schools needed They
are:
New school Nc = Moreland avenue,
new school in Ansley Park, new
school in East Atlanta, new school
in the Grant Park section, for the
special benefit of the Fulton Bag
and Cotton Mill children, new school
in Battle Hill, new school for Eng
fish avenue and the Exposition Cot
ton Mills section.
Our high school conditions are
desperate" said Colonel Daley. 1--WE
need new buildings for every high
school in the city"

BLALOCK GUSTS
NEGROESFROM
j. 8. SERVICE
Collector Scores Republican
Predecessors in FeedraI Build
ing for Retaining IncOm-
petentS.

Declaring the sun is setting on the
day when the negro can usurp the
position of a white man in the Gov
eminent service in the South" Colo
mel a. O. Blalock. Collector of In
ternal Revenue who several months
ago successeded Henry 5. Jackson,
Tuesday morning denounced the po-
litical tactics of the Republicans and
the actions of former Republican Of
flee holders, who, he alleges, have
Disseminated in favor of negroes.
Colonel Blalock commended Post
master Boiling H. Jones for discharg-
ing about So negroes. He declared
that more than $4,000 per year was
paid to negroes in Atlanta under the
Republican administration, while
many competent white men were
forced to accept work suitable for the
negro only. At the same time. he
asserted, the white men mentioned
were in need of employment.
Negroes to Fight Charge.
AT present there are sixteen negro
janitors, each receiving $50 per
month, three negro elevator runners,
each receiving $55 per month, and
three negro watchmen, receiving 500
each-emploved in the Federal Build
ing" said Colonel BlaloCk.
These men are not qualified. They
are unreliable and thoroughly incom-
petent. | have displaced two negro
elevator runners and put on white
boys who have widowed mothers to
support.
Charges have been preferred
against the negro night and day
watchmen and forwarded to Wash
ington. The negroes in question are
political negroes and carried "A large
negro vote for Henry $. Jackson at
the last national election.
Il understand that these two ne
groes have the audacity to fight the
charges and have hired lawyers to
represent them.
Says All Are incompetent.
There are no Government pos tons
for negroes in the South. A negro's
place is in the cOrnfeld. ] do not
mean that a negro should not be edu-
Gated and have his rights. but when
there are many deserving white men
capable Of holding the positions II i
altogether out of the question, and l
am going to see Justice done.
The postofiiCe inspectors will tell
YOU, as will every other man who has
had experience with negroes in Gov
eminent positions, that none of them
are competent and all are unreliable.
I'VE do not have to trump up any
charges to have negro removed, fol
each day he breaks the rules and
commits many errors"

Mayor Takes Issue
With School Critics.

Mayor James G. Woodward's com
ment on the crowded conditions Of
Atlanta's school Tuesday was at
variance with some of the other au-
thorities. He took a fling at heads
OF city departments who are wont to
criticise the work Of their own de-
partments
There are badly crowded condi-
tions in some sections Of the city
realize" said Mayor Woodward. But
think the children can be provided
for in a quiet businesslike manner
without danger to their nealth.
1T is the habit Of all city depart
ments to wave red flags in an effort
to get as much money as possible.
Inc Finance Committee studied OUT
the needs of the city IN appOrtioning
the available income and made its
appropriations accordingly. ] don't be-
neve the sensat iOnal advertising Of
the needs that can't be met does At
lanta any good"
The passage of the final revision Of
the city budget at the meeting OF
Council Monday leaves the city with
out funds to make material chang 2
in school equipment before the first
.pf neyt wear !! A bond issue could
not be submitted to the people ex-
cept by special act of the Legislature
next summer.
The Board of Education and advo-
Gates of improvement of public school
equipment will make a strong fight
for more money when the new city
budget is made up in January. The
fact that Atlanta will begin the new
year without debt outside of bond ID
debts will give the Board of Educd-
ton a better opportunity to get an
additional appropriation than it has
evef had before.
Colonel Daley, as president of the
board. thinks a bond issue adequate
to give all the public schools suitable
buildings is advisable.
