The Need of a New Boys High School

come wise and prudent ciu-
zens, capable of carrying on
the government of the city
perhaps, at some future date.
Many prominent citizens of
Atlanta at present are alumni
of the Boys High School and
apparently the members Of
the Council believe that this
fact is conclusive proof that
the Boys High School needs
no attention Without regard
to the increase in attendance,
# is apparent to the most
Cursory Of observers, that the
very building itself Is no
longer what it once was.
Considering the source Of this
suggestion. we incline to think Il
worthy Of immediate and earnest
attention.
These high school boys are old
enough to know EXACTLY
WHAT THEY WANT AND
NEED IN MATTERS OF THIS
KIND!
The Georgian extends to It's
contemporary, The Boys High
School TattIer, the complete as
surance Of its respect and most
distinguished consideration!
We are persuaded The Tattler
tells only such tales out Of school
as may safely and sanely be told.
IL The Tattler thinks the Boys
High School neeGs a new build
ing the Georgian inclines to think
SO, too,
And to that end, we trust tho
powers that be will give duN at
tention to what The Tattler has
to say with respect to this and
other matters.

"HE Supreme Court of an
other State has decided that
any kind Of a misrepresen-
tation goes in courtship, and that
II a young man tells a young
woman, as an inducement for
marrying, that ne has plenty OF
money in the bank, a lucrative
job and a good home ready fur
nished to take her to that the SAID
young woman has no recourse in
law IL she finds out that none OF
these things is true but that
they are merely the pipe dreams
Of some modern Claude Lorraine.
In handing down the opinion
the justice said:
ut is a well-recognized princi-
pie that, in the state Of mental
exaltation accompanying court
ship, statements made as to the
mental, moral or financial condi-
ton of the parties shall not be too
closely scrutinized, nor shall they
be held to a strict accountability
therefor"
This is not only the law, but 1t
Is the commonly accepted view
of the matter Men and women
who are otherwise honest and
who would scorn to gamble with
loaded dice or marked cards do
not hesitate TO play the love game
crooked.
Men who would not inveigle an
other man into a business under
false pretenses do not scruple to
entice a woman into matrimony
by means of glittering falsehoods
and misrepresentation.
Women whose consciences
would not allow them to deduct a
year from the age of a horse they
were trying to sell take off ten or
a dozen years from their own
ages when they are trying to
catch a husband and hear never
a whimper from the still, small
voice.

Bv DOROTHY DIX.

What else is It but deliberate
deception In a woman to let the
man she is expected TO marry
only see her when she is painted
and powdered and waved and
curled and dolled up In her very
best and most becoming clothes?
What else is 1t but fraud that
makes q girl in the days of court
ship act so meek and mild that
she makes patient Griselda look
like a termigant? What else does
she run than a confidence game
when she agrees with everything
her best beau says and breaks
her neck trying to please him in
every way and gives him to un-
derstand that she considers him
very fount Of wisdom?
What else is it than deception
Of the deepest dye for a man when
he is counting a girl to tell her
that he asks nothing in life but
the bliss of murmuring words o.!
undying love in her little shell
like ear and holding her littls
white hand in his, when he knows
that he'll drop the little white
hand the minute the marriage
ceremony is said over them as if
it was a hot brick, and the most
that the shell-ltke ears win ever
hear again will he his criticism
of her Cooking2
What is it but rank fraud for
man when he is counting d girl to
shower presents and theater tick
cts on her and lead her to believe
that her matrimonial pathway will
be strewn with chocolate creams
and vlolets, when he knows thai
after marriage he will row with
her over a quarter for car fare
It's the lies Of courtshop that lie
at the bottom OF most domestic
infelcity, and If men and women
would be honest with each other
before marriage there would be
very little trouble after marriage.

THE GRAFTERs.

| +
w. A. White: Ballots neither
graft nor account.
Because few men graft while 9TH
ers are looking, the CRATER is not an
animal to be overtaken but a con-
dition to be uncovered.
Graft presumes the ability to con-
ceal. The greatest OF all concealers
is ineficiency. Waste-graft does
more harm than theft graft. Less
graft will be found when graft is
looked for than when inefficiency is
looked for.
Ability to conceal the presence Of
graft presumes that grafters have
Iaccomplices Sometimes the graft
ers are on the outside of the govern
ment, and the accomplices on the in
side. Sometimes the accomplices are
on the outside and the grafters on
the inside. Wherever any consider
able amount Of graft exists the chief
'culprit, the steadiest, most trustwor-
thy accomplice is the chief victim OF
graft, namely, the general public.
Among the means as yet discover
ed to keep the general public from

most effective is system OF records
