PUBLIC SCHOOL REFORM
SURVEYS To Be PUSHEDBY
CITY ANDSTATE OFFICIALS

The outcome of two surveys to be
made of the public schools of Atlanta
and sweeping reforms proposed in the
system of instruction were anXiously
awaited by city officials Wednesday,.
The City Council fathers will make
one of the inquiries, while the State
superintendent of Schools. at the
urging of the School Board, will make
the other
The reforms were proposed in the
form Of three separate resolutions by
Commits sioner r. j. Quinn at a spe-
cial meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton.
Acted on Tuesday.
Although the question of a survey
was apparently passed upon at the
last meeting the board devoted more
than an hour to its discussion Tues
day Finally, however. Secretary
Landrum was instructed to inform
State Superintendent Britain that it
was the desire of the city that one of
the State supervisors make the i'm
vestigation" Immediately.
During the discussion a point was
raised by Commissioner Dan Green
that If a survey was made it should
be directed by the board. He argued
that II was the duty OF each member
to make a personal survey, and con-
tended that Mayor Woodward should
appoint an expert to conduct an in
vestigation, even if he had to go out
side the city or State for one.
Mayor Gives Views.
Commissioner Quinn expressed
himself in favor of Commissioner
Green's contention, but claimed the
board should not consider the State
Board as being antagonistic.
What we want now is infOrma-
ton" he said. This board should
engage someone to ferret out the
facts, not one to make recommends
tons about any particular school"
Mayor Woodward remarked that

Further Inquiry of
Trade Discrimination
At Fort Is Ordered

A committee, composed of members
of the wholesale trade committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, will be appointed
Wednesday or Thursday by Chairman
Fort 10 further investigate alleged dis
ordinations against Atlanta merchants
in the bulk trade from Fort McPher-
son. At meeting of the whole trade
committee Tuesday it was brought out
that Atlanta merchants have to send
their samples TO New York in order to
compete for the trade of the local post.
The Atlanta post it is understood, is
part of the Second Brigade. directly I'M
der the command of the First Division
which has headquarters on Governors
Island, New York. The division quar-
termaster has charge OF all purchasing
of bulk supplies for Fort Mcpherson
and in consequence the orders are
placed with merchants in the East,
while only pershable goods are bought
here.

Spring has GOMEZ

Spring has come!
True. the gimlet- eyed person who
sees the first robin and hears it twit-
tering in the trees is still hibernat-
ing; not yet does the green grass grow
all around; and tomorrow there may
be snow on the ground, and Jupe
Pluvius, to crib from the sporting
pages, may empty a cloud or two on
our heads-but spring is here, all
right, because
Atlanta papas are pushing baby
carriages!
That's the one infallible sign that
it's time TO take 'em off-that beauti-
ful spring, the season when the Young
mans fancy does plain and fancy
turning. when men young and old
pawn their sense of humor and in
Gite odes and sonnets to the light that
lies-mOst always-in woman's eyes
lis with us. Other signs may fail
the man who saw the robin last year
and for many years before that may
be near sighted this year and the
green grass may not grow in your
yard because you forgot to sow any
last year-but when you see Atlanta's
papas on parade, why, then spring is
here absolutely.

other resolution by Commissioner
Terrell was adopted asking the

board with a copy of the survey re-
ports on hand
Redistricting Is Urged.
The Commissioner urged that here
after the board refuse to sanction a
survey unless it was agreed that the
board receive the report and data.
Most conspicuous among the reforms
urged by Commissioner Quinn is one
contained in a resolution requiring
a complete redistricting of Atlanta s
public schoo. tem-mentioning IN
particular those schools which were
built with part of the 100000 bond
issue, and that particular attention he
paid to oVerCrowding.
Another reform provides for making
the maximum number of pupils FOR
each grade 40 instead of 60 and 10
The resolution requires the minimum
to be 80.
Detach Normal School.
The third resolution urged that the
Normal School be detached from the
Girls High School, making it a part
of the grammar schools.
Miss Annie Bell Adkins, teacher
at the Ivy Street School turned in her
books and papers on Monday with the
remark that she had been married
and was going to North Carolina ~

teachers give two weeks notice when
leaving or forfeit two weeks pay, but
the board set aside this rule in the
case of Miss Adkins.

THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
Samose Ideal Flesh Builder, Says ia
cobs' Pharmacy.

Thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment!
If you are thin it is because the
food you eat is not assimilated and
passes through the system without
building up the flesh and tissue as it
should.
You can readily get plump and rosy
by using Samose, a tissue forming
food which when taken with the
meals Immediately becomes a flesh
building and life giving element in
the blood.
Samose builds up the system, puts
flesh on the bones, brings back the
glow of health to the pallid cheek and
removes the tired and languid feeling
which is the result of exhaustion and
low vitality.
Jacobs Pharmacy are introducing
Samose to their customers and rec
ommend it highly. They give the best
proof of their belief that Samose will
do all that is claimed for it by Of
fering to refund the money il il fails
to increase the weight and restore
good health.-Advt
