CENSORS IN ATLANTA
FIND "NOVIE" Pic URLS
MORAL AND HIGH CLASS
Not an ObjGCtiODdI Film Is
Found There

Atlanta F5b 12.-The municipal
board of motion picture censors has
just made a report that the motion
'pocture fins shown in Atlanta are
clean and wholesome. The report was
made following the monthly meeting o.
the board of trustees Of Carnegie Lii
brary, of which the censors' board is
an official part.
Chairman Marvin Underwood re
ported that he had received gratifying
cooperation on the part of the motion
picture managers. Many of the pic
lures, the committee found, were SEN
sational and melodramatic, but they
did not encounter a single immoral
scene, or a single film plot calculated
to undermine morals.
Wild west pictures, and stories Of
crime, the censors found, were still
popular, in some theatres, but whom
properly produced they failed to see
that a melodrama in the movies was
any more improper than a melodrama
on the stage or between the covers Of
a popular novel.

Plains, Ga. Feb. Especially -

The best devic and methods known
are now being strongly enforced in the
Plains High school to place emphasis
on punctuality-bein on time. George
Washington, our hero of the twenty
second of February, was a punctual
man. 1T is known that whenever he

If at four o'clock, his dining hour, his
guests were late, he would not wait
for then. Gentlemen, we are pune
tual here; my cook never asks wheth-
er the guests have arrived, but wheth-
er the hour has" he would say.
In a bulletin just issued by the
United States bureau of education,
Henry S Curtis shows that our
schools in general have had very in
adequate yards. They are too small,
and they are unattractive. Plains
should realize that its school yard is
far below the standard of the ideal.
The school authorities know and feel
that with the development of the play
element the school yard must be i'm
| proved The different grades are
planning small flower gardens that will
add to it's beauty, besides giving the
children actual work in nature study
and agriculture. Teaching the chill
to do something well with his HANDS
develops his intelligence as rapidly
as does the study of Latin or lit9ra-
ture. These practical lessons learned
at school are not lessons that so much
help the pupil pass" as they are les
sons that prepare him for life; and
Education that does not make
child more efficient is mighty poor
education"
The Plains High school stands for
service and Development. It's growth
and success is manifested in the num-
Der of pupils enrolled The enroll
ment for the present scholastic year
is III up to the present date In order
to establish a frmer cooperation be-

A Wonderful Bird.

One day wonderful bird tapped at
the window of Mrs. Nansen's wife Of
the famous arctic explorer home at
Christiania. Instantly the window was
opened, and In another moment she
covered the little messenger with
Kisses and caresses. The carrier pigeon
had been away from the cottage thirty
long months, but 1t had not forgotten
the way home. 1t brought note from
hansen, stating that all was going we'll
with him and his expedition In the
polar region. Nansen had fastened
message to the bird and turned 1t
loose. The frail courier darted out into
the blizzardy air. 1t few like an ar
row over thousand miles of frozen
waste and then sped forward over an
other thousand miles of ocean and
plains and forests and one morning
entered the window of the waiting
mistress and delivered the message
which she had been awaiting so anx-
iOusly.

He 0reathes Differently From When

When you are telling q lie you
breathe differently from when you are
telling the truth. The difference was
discovered by means Of some tests
made upon his students by Professor
Benussi Of Grax.
He prepared cards bearing letters,
figures aud diagrams and distributed
these among his pupils. These were
required to describe the cards correct
", except In certain use when the
cards were marked with Il red star
and the students receiving them were
required to describe them falsely. Each
student was watched carefully by his
fellows, who, ignorant Of the nature
Of the card. tried to judge from his
manner whether he was telling the
truth or not. The watchers were un-
able to Judge with any certainty.
But before each IA began his test
the time occupied in inspiration and
expiration was measured, and the
measurement was taken again imme-
diately after he finished. 1t was found
that the utterance Of Il false statement
always increased and the utterance Of
q true statement always diminished.
