NOPLACE TO
TREAT THIS
SICK man
Sufferer From Tuberculosis and
Diphthsria Is Barred From
Hospitals Of the City.


William 4. Scot. No. 10 Hill street,
is walking the streets OF Atlanta
every day, suffering from tuberculosis
and virulent form of diptheria, UNI
able to gain admission to any hos
pital. because in the entireAc city Of Att
lanta there is not an institution
where is not an institution where
consumption and contagious diseases
can be treated together.
Scott has ben refused admission to
the hospitals where eases Of con-
taeious disease can he bandled fa-
cause he has tuberculosis. ana he mas
been refused admission to the tuber-
euiosiss sanitarinfi at Battle Hill be-
cause he has diptheria
As result, there IS no place he
can go for medical treatment he
roams the streets, working a little at
delivering milk, Ill and feeble.
No Place TO Send Him.
The Atlanta Anti Tuberculosis AS
sociation is trying to care for Scott,
but there is nothing they can do be-
cause they have no place to send him.
Scott has been declining rapidly
lately.
Miss Rosa Lowe, secretary Of the
Anti tuberculosis Association. said
Friday that there is great danger in
permitting Scott to wander about The
streets while he has diptheria in such
virulent form
1.-THE case is a most unusual one
she said, I'VE have not a single hos-
pitsl in Atlanta that will take Scott
in because he has consumption. We
can not treat him at Battle Hill be-
cause he has diptheria.
This. one case alone is terrible
proof that Atlanta needs additional
hospital facilities, and needs them
badly. In one Of the hospitals ward
might be set apart for case like
this, so as to at least, give the man
fighting chance for his life. He ak
poses hundreds Of people every day
while he is walking around the city
an yet what is he to do when nobody
can do anything for him?
Probably Other Like Cases. 8.
There are probably other cases in
Atlanta similar to thls-men walking
around with tuberculosis and con
tagious disease, who can not be treat
ed for one because they have the 9TH
Grand some preparation should be
made for the handling of them"
Omcials Of the association stated
that Scott, who is only rs years old
was found to be consumptive early
in February, an examination being
made by the State healeh officer. Aft.
err his examination, he was placed on
the waiting list OF the Battle Hill
sanitarium for treatment for the tu-
berculosis.
Later DIR. Andrew F. .Quillian ex-
smined the man and found he had
diphtheria. When he applied to Bat
tie Hill he was refused admission
City Health Officer Kennedy stated
also that his force had examined
scott's throat and found he had diph-
iberia. They didn't have any place "a
send him, either, when they found he
also had consumption.

To 81 ATOM
South Georgia Man in Atlanta En-
Route Home to Test Public
Sentiment.

A direct statement that he will be
a candidate for the unexpired term
of Senator Bacon If the people Of
South Georgia want him to run was
made to The Georgian by United
states Senator William S. West, when
he arrived in Atlanta from Wash
ington Friday on his first trip home
since his appointment as temporary
Senator by Governor Slaton.
Senator West is stopping at the
Winecoff Hotel, where he will re-
main. until late Friday night, when
he will leave for his rome Ii N&l
dosta.
Senator West said he had returned
to Georgia to determine the senti-
ment of his section Of the State. re-
garding the Senatorial race.
Wishes to Learn Public Opinion.
Il intend to definitely find out" he
said. whether the people Of my part
of the State, want me to enter the
race. If find that the sentiment Of
South Georgia favors my candidacy,
will undoubtedly become a candi-
date for Senator Bacon's term. My
final decision will depend upon what
l can learn of the situation during
my stay in Valdosta and other parts
Of South Georgia"
Senator West said he expects to
return to Atlanta next Saturday, a
week from tomorrow. and will then
go back to Washington to resume his
duties in the Senate. 1t is expected
that when he returns to Atlanta he
win have decided whether he will
enter the race this fall
Senator Vests entry into the race,
which is now regarded as practically
certain in view of his statement Fri
day, further complexities the political
situation
Would Not Oppose Slaton.
If he runs. it is regarded as vir-
tually certain that Governor SIaton
will not be a candidate. and if the
Governor decides to enter the race.
1t is expected that such a move would
result in the withdrawal of Senator
West, who said Friday that under
no circumstances would he run
against Governor Slaton. In other
words. both will not run. Senator
West also said that there is no like
Ihood that he will keep out of the
race this year and run against Sen
ator Hoke Smith.
If Senator West finds a BILE
sentiment in South Georgia and defin-
itely decides to enter the race, he
will bring the number of avowed
candidates up TO four, all from mid
die and South Georgia Attorney
General Thomas s. Fielder. Congress-
man Thomas w. Hardwick and John
Cooper, of Macon, are the other three
Senator West stated Friday that
he expects to return to Washington
before the vote is called on the bill
10 repeal the Panama free tolls act
He declared that there is little chance
that Congress viii ignore President
Wilson's request. and that the free
tolls clause Of the original bill will
be repealed.

It's easy to be truthful when it doesn't
pay to lie
And it's easy to be patient when your
enemy Is strong;
It's easy to be trusted when your salary
Is high,
But it's hard TO keep your friends In
line when things are going wrong.
It's easy to be hopeful when the way
ahead is fair
And it's easy TO be cheerful when the
good things come your way;
It's easy to strut proudly when you have.
good clothes to wear,
But it's hard to keep from lying when
lie or two will pay.
It's easy to be happy when you have no
cause to fret;
It's easy to shun doctors when you've
neither ache nor cough;
It's easy to be placid when you're keep,
ing out of debt,
But IT'S hard to sidestep trouble when
your salary's cut off.
It's easy to tell others to cheer up when
you are glad
And it's easy to be fearless when you
haven't any foes.
But it's hard to keep from feeling that
the world is rotten bad
When you've been ass and know that
every one who knows you knows.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
BY T. D. MAC oREeoR.

The moving picture theatre is to be
used in an agency in direct thought
toward thrift.
As part Of its campaign of educa-
ton TO offset extravaganza and incu-
late the more sensible ideas of thrift
the savings bank section of the Amer
lean Bankers association has adopted
two-reel moving picture film. the
story for which was written under the
direction of the association. This will
be released to the public Sept Is.
The film is called "The Reward of
Thrift" and is a product of the Vita
graph Company of America. 1t cost
several thousand dollars TO create.
The play portrays the fortunes of a
thrifty structural iron worker and his
wife and little daughter, and how thrift
during prosperity tides over adversely.
There is a bad man." too, who is final
" converted TO thrift by the hero, de-
spite the fact this man once attempted
the hero's life.
Actual scenes OF work on a steel
framed skyscraper and in caissons I'M
der compressed air are shown. as well
as actual scenes in the school savings
bank, the real savings bank, where n
forger is arrested by means of the
finger print method OF Identification,
and the building and loan association,
all presented in a dramatic setting
which grips the attention and leaves
the desired impression.
Do not fail 10 see The Reward of

borhood. II viii interest you and ben
efit you immensely.

BUSINESS AND SCHOOLS

, had the right kind OF schools all THU
would be changed; that chhu labor
would become a blessing instead of
an abuse for children. We are con-
stantly told that II the schools had
the right kind OF curriculum and gave
the right kind of training, every child
would have his natural capacity de-
veloped, and we should speedily put
an end to the army of industrial mis-
fits.
''In accepting this challenge of the
business world our educators have as
sumed unwarranted responsibility for
the condition that exists. A study of
the annual contribution of our city
schools to the business interests of
the community will show that a con-
siderable percentage is thrown into
the discard within the first month;
that another large percentage goes
drifting from job to job, sometimes
advancing, quite as frequently reced-
ing, the industries complaining that
the children the schools turn out are
no good and that the children lose
courage, enthusiasm, and youthful
idealism In the various meaningless
jobs to which they are assigned. That
many drift into casual and thence
into permanent idleness is to be ex-
pected. The only wonder is that any
ultimately rise to positions of efficien.
cy and responsibility.
"Our schools are not fair to them
selves in assuming that they or the
child are wholly at fault. If the schools
need a better curriculum, so does the
industrial establishment. If the child
needs a more definite and purposeful
mind much more so does industry. One
of the most vital services vocational
industries and train our youth to dis
tinguish between a vocation and job.
1t is futile to give special training
to a child for the purpose of fasten-
ing him to a machine on which he
shall do purely mechanical labor for
life. Business says: Here are the
jobs; what kind of children have you
to offer?' We must reverse the in
quiry and say to business: Here are
our children, what kind of industry
have you to offer?' -
