Slaton Raps Schools,
Praises Teachers For
Success of Students

stating that Atlanta was behind all
other cities of equal size in high school
pulldlngs and equipment and it was
only the efficiency and perseverance of
the teachers that graduated the young
men and women so highly, Superin-
'endent Slaton tells of the crying need
ot the schools of the city.
Despite the handicap, MI. Slaton said
the standard of scholarship was high.
Graduates are able to enter the soph-
omore class of state colleges and, the
freshman classes of colleges oe the
1ale and Harvard class.
II would take a bond issue of $500. -
OOO TO put the schools of Atlanta on a
proper basis" he said. THE present
BOYS High school building is over
crowded, poorly lighted and not con-
structed with proper conveniences. on
account of the lack of grounds the boys
are forced to stand in the streets at re-
cess. The school is unable to offer
more elective subjects or to adopt the
carnegie unit system in vogue in the
leadlng high schools, because of limited
quarters and lack of proper laboratory
equipment"

MORGAN

The Lord chose James as a disciple
because He believed in James power
to convert He named him one Of the
chosen twelve, not for his looks, but
for his power James, It is recorded,
was not a handsome man-tall, un-
gainly, thin. His greatest power lay
in his wealth of wOrds-hs power to
convert.
1t may be that the calling Of Dr.
Campbell Morgan, of London. to the
ministry Of God came about because
God needed a man of force, not looks,
to do His work.
In the pulpit, DR. Morgan is a power
His looks, he smilingly confesses, are
not his strong forte. His power is
manifest. This fearless servant Of his
Master has strange winning appeal
His creed is Faith. That is the whole
Of his religion. DR.. Morgan is not
ritualist. Rite and "isms' fail to appeal
to him. What DR.. Morgan means to
his Faith is much. What Faith means
to DR.. Morgan is more.
The big impression this man brings
with him to the Tabernacle conference
is that he is adre with deep belief IN
God. The teachings Of all cults is. OF

adage Read Dr. Broughton's clothes
in the pulpit, In the street.
Note the alpine hat, carelessly
crushed. The average man wearing
such headpiece would look-can we
say tough? DR.. Broughton wears his
misshapen black fedora with a careless
grace that bespeaks no thought Of per-
sonal ppearanCe-gives the impression
that after all a hat Is for shelter, not
adornment. Note his tie-his collar.
The direct appeal of his haberdashery is
startling.
No one, save a man of great mental
caliber, great force, could impress with
such linen and silk. Yet in speaking
with DR.. Broughton ones eyes do not
stray to his collar band-they are riv-
eted to his eyes, searching gray eyes
that defy wavering gaze Note his
business suit-he wears no pastors
frock save on the Lords day. Note its
sagging lines, the increased trousers.

Service-that is DR.. Broughton's
greatest aim. "Broughton and Service"

HIS health hinders him but slightly in

Thus Dr. Broughton sums up his life

SHERIFF PLANS
SU|TFOR SALARY
Mangum and Deputies Propose
to Learn Why Wages Are
Not Forthcoming.

Sheriff C. w. Mangurn and his depu-
ties, impatient Of delays in the Fulton
commission and the failure Of County
Attorney Luther z. Rosser 10 @ivs
them definite ruling on the meaning
OF fee clauses of the salary act, now
propose to go to court to find out why
they can't get the money due them for
January and February.
For January, members of the sheriff's
force drew only "A per cent Of their
months pay. For February they got
only 5S per cent of what they were sup
posed to get. The shortage is due to
the commissions contention that un-
der the new law, the sherifT'B Office 10
not entitled to jail fees. Under this
arrangement, II is said, the sheriffs
fee fund will not balance with pay roll
and full months pay can not be given
the deputies.
Sheriff Retains r. r. Arnsh.
While no definite action has bean
begun, the sheriff has retained r. r
Arnold and, unless the commission un-
bends or finds some way 20 pay the
deputies. the matter will be taken to
the courts.
Despite the fact that the commission
has refused consistently to touch the
general county fund to reimburse the
underpaid deputies, the salary Of A. l..
Richardson, county auditor. was paid
out OF the general fund Members o.
the sheriffs office say that the county
auditor should be paid out OF the fee
fund, according to the law.
Claims Excess Was Used.
Shelby Smith, chairman of the COM
mission, is authority for the statement
that the auditor had been paid out of
the excess accruing from the fee funds
of the office of court clerk and solicitor
of the city court. The books of the
county. however. show that Richard
sons salary was charged against the
general fund as incidentals.
Sheriff Mangum said today that If
the commission could stretch the law
for the auditor and Juggle the finances
to meet his demands that deputy eher-
ifs could be paid in the same manner.

Movement to Place Work On Firm
Financial Basis Begins

With Tilt and swing, the third day
of the Atlanta Bible conference opened
today with one Of the largest crowds
yet recorded in attendance. Enthusi-
asm over the Sunday services, rever-
ential dedication for the work Of the
present week. earnest and prayerful ap-
peals for the furtherance of the con.
ference work in this city were keynotes
of the morning session.
The Atlantans attending the confer
ence express keenest satisfaction over
the effects of the messages. powerful
sermons and appeals sent forth by the
pulpit orators. Never before in the his
tory of the city have such wonderful
Gospel truths been delivered, they de-
clare.
"Truly the Spirit has descended upon
our teachers" is the way one delegate
summed up the services today.
In answer to appeals made Saturday
for the continuance of the conference,
1t appears today that funds will be
forthcoming at an early date that may
place the great Atlanta Bible confer
ence on sound financial basis. An
endowment is hinted at, but this could
not be confirmed.
Another startling development of the
conference is rumored today. 1t has to
do with a meeting Of the deacons Of the
Tabernacle, who, it is said, have made
an interesting offer to DR.. Broughton to
return here, take up the work OF the
Tabernacle once more and carry 1t for
ward to the place DR.. Broughton had
prayerfully hoped it would occupy when
he planned its structure.
Or. 5rouehton Silent.
Seen today, DR. Broughton would not
discuss the report that the board Of
deacons of the Tabernacle had made
him an offer to return here as pastor
of the congregation.
Matter Not Up Now.
Later in the day 1t was stated by
w. D. Gilbert, secretary of the Taber-
nacIe and also a member of the board
of deacons, that the matter of securing
p nastor for the congregation would
not be taken up for three weeks, at
least.
"No. we have no one under consid
Grafton" said Gilbert, nor have we any
names to give out as having been
called
Gilbert also said that, 80 far as DR..
Broughton is concerned, he has said in
public he would not come back here.
That satisfies us, so far as we have
gone. We have not approached him
personally or officially on the question
. The morning services were as excit-
ing as they were interesting.
The steady drizzle of rain on the roof
of the huge auditorium sounded like
"stsee thunder" The orators were
forced to use their upper registers" to
a large extent in delivering their mes
sages.
The singing of the choir marked one
of the pleasant features Of the exer-
cises. The members, despite the in
clement weather, sang Justify Let
there he showers OF blessings" adding
their voices to the patter Of the rain
in iovous acclaim. The hymn was Sc
Iected by DR. Broughton with fitting
taste.
This afternoons services were the
magnet for another record audience.
As one delegate remarked, We're here

and Rentz was carried back to Chicago,

HARRIS AND EDGE
SCHOOLS GET LIBRARIES

An excellent library Of forty-two vol
umes is offered to schools by the
Farm and Ranch for subscriptions to
their paper, which the Edge School
and Harris School have taken adyan-
tage Of The books are graded and
contain volumes of interest to pupils
of all ages. A good dictionary is in
cluded in the list. Often in the coun-
try schools the lack of good books
greatly binders the work OF the
teacher, for there is nothing that so
increases the ability OF the pupil to
get the greatest possible good from
their text books as general reading.
The libraries are good in themselves,
but they are valuable also as a nucleus
about which still more books can be
gathered, since those already pos
sessed by the school will arouse in
terest, which is an incentive to pro
cure a more complete library.
The unfavorable weather recently
has somewhat hindered the work o.
the rural schools, owing to the dis
lance from which many pupils come
and the exposure to which they mus
subject themselves.
