WAR time VERSE
Verses Written By One OF The Boys
in Blue-Way Back In The Sixties
Names That Sound Familiar to
Comrades OF the G. A. r.

On slip of yellow paper worn
thin by age and handling, worth to-
its possessor Mr.. r. C, Skeels far
more than its weight in gold are the
verses which we print below. To the
comrades of Losure Post G, A. r.
the verse will bring memories of
Captain Skeeles and gallant Co. 3.
OF tn 68th Ohio, and their enthusiasm
for the cause they espoused as well
as their confidence in the success of
their efforts to put down the rebellion
Gallant Company E. in the sixties,
band Of men full of the vigor and
vim of early manhood, ready to do
and to dare for the cause they be-
lieved to be right; men to be proud
of, men to rely on; men in whose
hands rested the fate of a NationI
Well may that Nation whose present
greatness and prosperity was shaped
and determined by such men as these,
bow in sincere and heartfelt reyer-
ence to the meagre ranks of those
who still live to cherish the memory
of the comrades who have fallen
from their ranks forever. Well NAV
this Nation honor the graves of those
who have answered the last call.

ROLL Of HONOR
Not Forgotten But Subscriptions and
Money Come In Slowly-May is
Most Gone-Possibility of Whirl-
wind Campaign in The Near Fu-
ture.

Memorial Sunday and Decoration
Day are at hand and the memory of
the days long gone with faces and
voices once familiar and dear is with
us. All over this country wherever
there is an old "burial ground" or
cemetery, futtering flags will mark
the mounds of green where sleep the
brave boys who once wore their coun-
try's blue and in the wavering shad-
ows of those flags loving hands will
place garlands of flowers, symbols of
the loving memory in which the oc-
cupants Of those graves are held in
the hearts of their comrades. A few
days of sun and wind and they will be
withered and gone, only so much rub
bish to be gathered up and put out
of sight. The flags brave in their
bright red, white and blue will flutter
in the breeze for awhile until rains
and dews and sun have robbed them
of their brave colors and they are
only bits of faded tattered rags. I'm
der the spell of Decoration Day there
are some who will look away, in
thought sat. least to the South where
somewhere under a southern sky re-
poses the dust Of some who left, in
the enthusiasm and houyancy of
vigorous manhood, the. Fulton coun-
ty home and loved ones and never re-
turned. But the tide5of time sweeps
on and one by one the men and wom-
en- who lived through and participat-
ed in the war time experiences of the
sixties are passing on to join the
loved ones who have gone on before.
This nation cannot afford to per
NIT the example of these soldiers of
the sixties to be forgotten. They
have taught the lesson of the loyal
ty the bravery and the self sacrifice
which are essential to the life of a
nation whose government is of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
Pile; that lesson needs to be taught to
each succeeding generation. In the
foregoing are contained some of the
vital reasons why the Fulton county
Association is in exist
ence and why we are engaged in this
to raise the funds to build
the Soldiers and Sailors monument in
Fulton county. This is an appropri-
ate time in which to consider these
things and we feel sure that every
citizen who will take the time to con-
slider these matters and who has not
contributed to this fund
will be glad to do so and everyone
can give something. During the |
week past v. w. Weeks has brought |
to the secretary $4,000 which he had
collected on subscriptions, Mr.. Weeks |
is one of the most active of all the
township vice presidents and is en-
titled to much credit for the work he
is doing.

TEACHER GAINS
TIME FOR DEFENCE
Miss Rodman Would Bar Only
Unnecessarily Rude Forms
of Criticism.

Miss Henrietta Rodman has been
granted one more week in which to
prepare her defence before the high
school committee of the Board of Edu-
cation in the famous mother batting
case. The trial before the committee
was to take place yesterday afternoon,
but at the appointed hour Miss Rod
man and her attorney, Mrs. Jean
Norris, stated that they were not ready.
Charles Mcintyre, Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel, who is conducting the
case for the Board of Education, pro-
tested vigorously against delay, but
was overruled.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors. Arthur S. Somers, chairman,
said the committees of the Board Of
Education always met in executive
session. There was talk of star cham
Der proceedings" but Dr.. Ira S. Vile
explained that the rule was for the
protection of teachers who were on
trial. Miss Rodman said if she had
her way the press would be admitted.
The accused teacher and Mrs. Norris
declined to say if they intended to call
witnesses, but Miss Rodman gave out
a statement Of her ideas concerning
free speech" She said:
at is not only the right but the
duty of citizens TO criticise fairly and
intelligently the acts of public boards
and officials ! do not believe in un-
necessarily rude forms of criticism, but
/ do believe that it is very dangerous
TO American institutions and alto
gether contrary to American ideals Of
liberty and justice that a citizen can
be suspended from his position without
pay because he has made a criticism
of a public board. Unless this criti-
cism is a libel, / believe that public
censure is all that can properly be
inflicted without injury TO the initia-
tive and independence which we value
so highly in our citizens.
GAS the rod has been banished from
the public schools, so / think that
punishment OF teachers for petty Of
fences shoul4 be done away with. If
these 10000 intelligent citizens do not
know what the schools need, and what
the teachers need, no one knows. In
loyalty to the community the teachers
should not withhold their opinions"
What constitutes unnecessarily rude
forms of criticism" may he determined
at the next meeting of the committee.
II is understood that the Board Of Edu-
cation regards mother batting" as a
rude term, and that it is the tone OF
Miss Rodman's letter TO 'F. p. Al that
thew object to rather than the implied
criticism of the boards policy in the
teacher-mother controversy. More Sc
rious charges have been made, but they
were couched in serious terms, while
Miss Rodman employed what she terms

DR.. PEASE SMELLS SMOKE
Opposes Tobacco User as Di-
rector of Health Education.

DR.. Charles G. Pcase, of anti-tobacco
fame, doesn't think that those who use
tobacco should be allowed TO direct the
hygienic education of the people of
this city. In letter to the Civil Ser
vice Commission he says, in part:
"Our attention has been called to the
statement that the director of health
education is to be selected by your
commission. In view of the character
and importance of the work we ask
that no applicant be accepted who has
any poison addiction. This, of course,
includes tobacco.
1T is manifestly evident that a man
addicted to the use of poison cannot
be an unbiased educator of the people
in matters of health. | shall be glad
to present TO your body the results OF
scientific investigation by men who
have made a careful study of the ac-
ton of tobacco upon the human or
ganism."
The letter was written in behalf of
the Smokers Protective League Of
America.

Maestro Pleads in Court fol
Syncopation of Name.

In these days Of syncopation, when
money as we'll as music is contracted,
it seems that the three or four syllable
names also must keep up with prevail
ing fashion.
Hence, Antonio Abruscato. who has
a school of music at 1l2 West l04th
st., yesterday submitted his name to
the Supreme Court, for purposes OF
syncopation. Abruscato. who is ma
tive of Italy, told the court that he was
seriously handicapped having so many
syllables in his name, and asked that
it be shortened to Scato.
Scato let Abruscato be, said Justice
Newburger.
