PLAYGROUND
IS PUT UP TO
CITY OFFICIALS

The movement for a real play
ground for Americus was gotten
definitely under way at the mass
meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday afternoon. AL
through the attendance was smaller
than had been expected, there was
determination in the audience to do,
and before the meeting ended per-
manent organization had been form
ed under the name, ''The Playground
and Community Club of Americas"
and workers delegated the task of
raising money for acquiring suit
able playground property. A mini
mum of 1000 was set by the meet
ing.
The committee, the male members
of whom were appointed by the per-
manent chairman, Prof. j. E. Mathis,
and the women by Mrs. Frank Shelf
field, is composed of J. r. Cargill, G.
R. Ellis, L. A:~Morgan, Mrs. J. w.
Harris, Jr., Mrs. W. H. C. Dudley
and Mrs. George Van Ripper. This
committee met this morning and
formulated plans for quick action.
At this meeting it was decided to ask
the Mayor and members Of the city
county to meet with them at o'clock
this afternoon in an effort to secure
action by the city administration in
providing the playground, instead of
depending upon public donations
thus distributing the burden among
the entire population of the city
which would benefit, instead Of
among the comparatively few con-
tributors.

Operators And Miners
Now To Be Invited
To Negotiate

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. IL
(By Associated Press. )-United
States Judge Anderson at 10
o'clock this morning approved an
order of the officials of the United
Mine Workers of America, res
ending their strike order of Octo-
Der 5. Attorneys for the miners
promised to try to have it in the
mails by 6 o clock this evening.
This action was taken following a
session of the general committee of
the miners which decided early to-
day to comply with the courts man
date.
Judge Anderson characterized the
order as a "Good faith effort" to
comply with the courts orders.
After the court proceedings the
miners attorneys issued state
ment in the presence of the govern
ment attorneys stating the position
of the miners.
The United Mine Workers,
through their general committe, de-
cided early today to obey the man
date of Federal Judge Anderson.
Decision was reached at 410 o'clock
this morning after seventeen hours
! of discussion The conference then
adjourned until 2 o'clock this af-
ternoon.
No draft of the order resembling
the strike, which under the order had
to be submitted to the court by 10
O'Clock this morning and be on the
way to the unions officers by
O'Clock this evening, had been made
when the conference adjourned, it
was said.
Acting President Lewis gave out
the following statement to the news
paper men:
Gentlemen, we will comply with
the mandate of the court. We do it
under protest. We are Americans
and we cannot fight our government.
That is ALL"
None of the other members of the
committee would add anything to
Lewis statement.

SCHOOLS GIVEN
HALF HOLIDAY IN
OBSERVANCE OF
ARMISTICE DAY
Court House Closed, Too
But Business Goes On
AS Usual

Despite the fact that no official az
ton was taken making armistice day
a holiday in Americas, the day was OBJ
served in their own way by many
citizens-and by the city schools.
Feeling that by all means this ami
versary of the greatest day in the
history of the world should not be
allowed to pass unnoticed by the
school children, Superintendent Ma
this ordered half holiday in all of
the city schools, preceding it with
short talks in three of the schools by
men who saw service in France.
Outside of the patriotic occasion in
the schools, the city was about as
usual, many people wondering why
nothing had been done in the way of
a celebration or making the day a
holiday. One exception was found
at the courthouse where at II o'clock
H. E. Allen, clerk of the Superior
court, himself a believer in showing
ones Americanism, nailed a typewrit-
ten sign to the closed front door which
read:
''This building is closed an ac-
count of Armistice Day"
The High school students today lis
tened to j. G. Hoist, manual training
instructor narrate some of his ex-
periences as an officer overseas, fol-
lowing which the entire school, at
the suggestion of Principal Hale,
arose and stood with bowed heads for
a minute in memory of the dead
soldiers, among whom affectionately
remembered was Capt. Chas G, Glenn
ents, formerly instructor in Eng
lish in the High school A number
of patriotic songs were also sung.
Major Jas. Fort addressed the pu-
pills of the Furlow Grammar school
on his war experiences and the mean
ing of the occasion, and Evan 7. Ma
this, who also served as an officer,
spoke at the East Americus school.
The observance Of the day in the
city schools followed a meeting of
the teachers of the city schools yes
terday, at which Supt Mathis sug-
gested the urgency of impressing the
Importance of the occasion to the
children. He deplored the fact that
Americus was not holding real cele-
bration, and took the local post of
the American Legion rather severely
to task for not assuming the lead in
such celebration when no one else
acted. Mr. Hoist, who was one of
the organizers of the Legion here,
took up the defense of the organiza-
ton.
eve discussed the matter" said
he, "but decided that, inasmucht as
Americus is about the only city in
Georgia that hasn't done the slightest
thing for her returned soldiers, we
did not feel it incumbent upon us
to sponsor such a celebration"
Whereupon Supt. Mathis withdrew
his remarks, recalling that what Mr..
Hoist had said was true, and express
ing himself rather forcibly at the
apparent ingratitude of the commun-
| ity.
The American Legion will celebrate
Armistice Day with banquet and
smoker for all ex-service men at 8
O'Clock tonight at the Windsor Ho-
tel.

| suspect that l could get your
consent to voting bonds for new
school building by telling you we
needed one to accommodate the
changed course of study demand
ed by the times. Why? Because
YOU have cone to regard houses
necessary for the teaching of boys
and girls.
But with all due respect for the
schools and for their Importance,
let me say frankly that the les
sons learned out of school are
more powerful in fixing character
than those learned in the school
room.
1t has taken hard jolt to break
the tie that has been binding US to
the traditions of the past and to
get us out of the feeling that our
problem is largely that of inform
ing and reforming the minds of
boys and girls and of making them
familiar, as far as it is possible to
do so, with the sum of human
knowledge, but we are seeing the
handwriting on the wall and are
getting a broader view of educa-
ton. The great war has revealed
to US many short comings and ne
elected opportunities. I believe no
phase of our national life has felt
the test more keenly than the one
with which am connected, that of
education. From a standpoint Of
morals we have stood the test
pretty well. And that the intel
lectual training has been good,
fairly good, is shown by the rapid

are bound to ask ourselves if we
have not been neglecting a most
important phase of education. And
if | said we have done fairly well
in intellectual development we
have not had the best results be-
cause we have ignored sound

l hope you are agreed that ply
sical development is necessary and
that it has been neglected too
much in our home scheme of edu-
cation. Any scheme of education,
not based on the study of child
life is failure; therefore play, the
natural and controlling impulse of
child life, cannot be neglected.
This impulse must be given full
swing and be properly directed. A
playground with a competent di-
rector must play the most lmpor-
tant part in a well balanced
scheme of education. Purposeful,
joyful action is mental and spir-
itual stimulant and tonic quite as
much as it is a developer of ply
sioue. If the child's impulses are
to be transmitted into spiritual
values, if through them he is to
be made a creature of a longer
life, until his life is rounded into

himself, with man, with God, then
his physical education through
play cannot be neglected

RAILROAD MEN MAY
 STRIKE FOR WAGES
Seek More Pay, Better Con- ditions and 8 Hr. Day Be-
 fore Govt Gives Up.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Indications granting of their demands for in creased wages, time and a half over time, the eight-hour day and changes in working conditions before the rail- roads of the country are turned back by the gOVernmtnt to private control are contained in testim mony bv Tim Othy Shea, chief of the Firemen's Brotherhood, before the Railroad ad- ministration's board of railway and working conditions.
 MT. Shea told the board during it's hearing of the firemen's demands, ac- cording to the testim ony published today, that members of his brother hood were due an increase in wages, adding:
 If l cannot get it out of this con- ference, it may be necessary to use other means; but I am going to get it.
 In another portion of MT. Shea's testimony he is quoted as declaring that if the firemen's demands for a living wage are not met when the time approaches for turning back the railroads to their private owners, the workers will require, as a precedent to the return, the granting of those demands.
 Although MT. Shea appeared before the board only in behalf of the fire men, it is generally considered that to increase the wages of the firemen would necessitate a similar increase to all railroad workers, and any ac- tiOn taken by the firemen to enforce their wage demands would involve similar action by the other brother hoods.

NO COAL SHORTAGE HERE
Local Dealers Report That Supply is Ample and Coal Bins Arc Well Filled.

Although there have been numer- ous complaints about the inability to obtain coal in this city, there is no acute shortage, as there is nan um- Der of neighboring places. The off, cials of the City Coal and Wood com pany and the New Britain Lumber and Coal company stated this morn ing that from the present outlook the residents of New Britain will be well supplied with coal during the win ter, providing that the labor condi- tions are favorable at the mines.
 At the present time the bins of To- cal coal yards are amply filled and the homes are receiving their share. "The coal question in this city is very sat isfactory," was the report made by the New Britain Lumber and Coal official today. However, there might be a shortage about the first of Mo- Vember at which time the coal min CTS in the soft coal districts announce their intention of striking if they are not granted their demands. Should this strike take place the local fac tories would have to use hard coal when their supply of soft coal was used up, this would probably create a shortage in this city.

 This special committee has secured Rev. H. A. Cook, father of the de- parting pastor, to act as pastor of the church until next April, when he will return to his home in Kansas.
 In accepting the resignation of Rev. Mr. Cook, the committee adopt ed the following resolutions of esteem and regret:
 Came Here in 1915.
 ''The Reverend Warren F. Cook became our minister in April, 1915. During the almost five years he has been with us, we have learned to know him; and, knowing him, to ap- preciate his ability, his optimism and his l1indliness, and to esteem him highly as a pastor, as a citizen, and as a friend. We believe that the church, the community, and we, as individuals, are better for his work among us.
 "In the trying and critical times that the country has passed through, his stand has been of very great value to us and to the community. We believe that our church, through his leader ship, has held before New Britain the highest duties and ideals Of the days in which we live, of Christian life. The vital questions of the hour have been very clearly and correctly stated.
 Tn the struggle of the times there must be found a truer vision of the relation of God to man and man to man. And we believe that our church has been awake to this. It is an at titude that we must hold. It is fun damental to our growth and influence as a Christian institution.
 Praises Pastors Leadership.
