When Alexa Stirling was playing the
finals in the match which won her the
national championship last year an
old Scot was watching her. He turned
10 an Atlanta acquaintance and said:
Queer, that girl puts exactly SINH
lar to golfer used to know in Scot
land"
"Pn guess his name for you" the
other replied. 1T was Stuart Maiden. -
The Albanian then explained that
Miss Stirling was Maiden's pupil.
To Maiden undoubtedly is due the
remarkable achievement of Atlanta in
developing more young golfers than
any ether city in the country.
With a population of 100000 and
with not more than 1000 golfers. At
lanta has turned out more young stars
than cities which have so times as
many golfers. q
Golfers know these youngsters as
the Atlanta demons" and they make
it interesting for every golfer who Wis

is that these youngsters seem to play
better golf when matched against such

ATLANTA, Ga, April 2S - Down
here in Atlanta lives the wizard of
the links-a silent, studious Scotch.
man, who has been responsible for the
development OF more good golfers
than any other man in the history OF
the game.
He is Stuart Maiden, professional
at the East Lake championship course
here, and at one time a great golfer
in Scotland.
Maiden has been in Atlanta for nine
years and in America for only little
more than that time. His most nota.
BILE achievements in the pedagogy of
the links are exempted in the play of
AleXa Stirling, woman national cham
pion; Bobby Jones, 15-year.old phenom
and Perry Adatr.
ANY one of the three will swear by
Maiden and will tell you far more about
his methods than he will tell himself.
Maiden will not discuss himself or
his methods. He is reticent even for
a Scotchman.
But he has succeeded in imbuing in
his pupils the very strokes which made

Friday afternoon the school children from nearly all the schools met at Grange Hall to show their friends how much they enjoy music. There was a large audience, but owing to change of time to four o'clock some were unable to 20 and some didn't understand the time. All the schools were present but East Cornwall; although three teachers were missing. Those who can remem- Der what the children s singing used to be when the music was all learned by had been reached by those children who have been so fortunate as to have music for one of the studies from the time they began to go to school. The majority of those who have children in school, and many others who heve given the matter any thought are very strongly opposed to having music dropped from the schools: also to dis Jpensing with special teacher to guide and direct the study. Local teachers can usually help the scholars ln their ten minute day practice, but it needs regular weekly teacher to accomplish the best results. Music is required by law: but the elementary teachers are not required to'be able to teach it. .
