T'ILEY SEES DANCER IN
1IERCROWDINC 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 freduently
rant and parents are constantly com
planning about their children's health.
High Schools Bad.
COnGltlOns in many other schools
are not much better than this extreme
case. If grown folks had to atten,!
the schools the faults in the system,
would long ago have been corrected.
But children don't know how 10 make
effective complaints 10 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 hand in hand And the children
who are subjected to these surround
ings come from attractive and COM
Portable homes. Their parents would
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 Nv
an outline by Colonel Daley of the
number Of new schools needed. They
are:
New school NJ =. 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. I'VE
need new buildings for every high
school in the city"

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-
lions in some sections Of the city
realize" said Mayor Woodward. But
1 think the children can be provided
for in a quiet businesslike manner
without danger to their health.
at is the habit of all city depart
ments to wave red flags in an effort
to get as much money as possible.
The Finance Committee studied OuC
the needs of the city IN appOrtiOning
the available income and made it's
appropriations accordingly. don't be-
l1eve the sensational advertising OF
the needs that can't be met does At
lanta any good"

the city budget at the meeting of
Council Monday. leaves the City with

in school equipment before the first
of next year. 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 viii 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 bonded
debts will give the Board of Educa-
ton a better opportunity to get an
additional appropriation than it has
ever had before.
Colonel Daley, as president of the
board. thinks a bond issue adequate
to give all the public schools suitable
buildings is advisable.

Waterman Of Bank
illustrates Thieves

MERIDIAN, MISS. oct. Masked
men attempted to rob the Bank of
Enterprise, after binding and gagging
Night Watchman Brown and taking
him to a ravine a short distance
away. They cut all the telephone
wires that they saw, but overlooked
one. The night Waterman unloosed
the cords about him and succeeded
in getting a telephone connection with
the postoffice next to the bank. He
aroused Postmaster Edwards.
The burglars fed without effecting
an entrance into the vault.

PLANS NEW
CHANGES

The park board met at the new
pavilion at Point Defiance yes
terday, and outlined the plans
that will be followed there this
year. All boats, whether carry
ing passengers or not, will be al
lowed to land at the wharf free.
This will probably mean that spe-
cial launches will run from town
Sundays to carry the crowds from
the Municipal dock
The board advertised for bids
for the boats to be purchased, all
of which will have alright COM
partments so they cannot be
sunk. Storage will be provided
for boats belonging to private
citizens also, and those who now
have boats there will be asked
to come and get them for the
present while the work is going
on at the wharf, which is to be
rebuilt.
