Atlanta, Ga. Nov S-A group of millionaires, headed by Asa G. Cand- Ter, jr., son of the Coca-Cola king, to- day completed plans for the imme- diate launching of unique educa- tiona1 enterprise.
 Fifty preparatory school, in various localities, will cooperate. Cand1er and his associates have bought the army transport Logan and will em- ploy it in taking a limited number of boys from these schools each year on a tour of the world The Logan was paid for with Asa G. Candler jr.'s check for $180,0O0, and is now on the way from San Francisco to New York.
 Willis A. Sutton, Superintendent of the Atlanta Public Schools, author of the idea, will be executive head, hav- ing just signed a five-year contract with the incorporators, who drew up their charter papers today.

 ] All manner of trick or eccentric dancing must be eliminated from high school social functions. With the in Aux of countless numbers of grotesque steps, dancing seems to have develop ed into setting up exercise for a con- torti onist. These steps, while they are harmless, have the opposite effect on the impartial onlooker. The orig ina1, goodness, bona fide dances, purged of all exaggerated steps, twists, and gyrations, will be warned once, then expelled from the floor.

COLLEGE HEADS
 ATTACK BETTING
 MONEY ON GAMES
(By International News Service,


 Ann Arbor, Mich. Nov. 9-De- nouncing betting by students on foot ball games as a vicious attack on in tercollegiate athletics. Michigan Uni ve~slty authorities have started a crusade to stamp out the practice In statements issued to the press both President Marion Burton and Field ing H. YOst director of intercollegiate e athletics. severely criticized the evil.
 There is no occasion for discus sing the morals of betting. It is an attempt to get something for noth- ing and in the long run the world is rot made up that way" said President Burton. There is occasion for pointing out from an intensely practical point of view that betting is shortsighted and a vicious attack on intercollegiate athletics.
 The student who bets on his team, thinking that thereby he is giving genuine loyalty to his university, is deceiVing himself. Betting breeds un- just criticism of the team, tends to shatter student morals and substi- tutes commerciaI1sm for sportman- ship. Let us play the game for the games sake.'
 students have no right to bet dads hard earned money and then have to explain things to dad,'' said Hurry up" Yost.
 Usually they are not betting their own money and if they are they can't afford to lose it,'' said Yost. As a result if they lose they find themselves having to explain to Dad or having to go without things they should have. Before they know it they are finding fault with the team, the coaches and everything from the waterboy to the president. And all of this because they lost a few dol- lars which they had no business bet ting.
 When players know that there are huge sums of money at stake they are apt to lose sight of the greater ideals or which they are play ing. As a result the game suffers.''

countants, made at the instigation Of
private parties. Making 1t clear that
the request of the citizens commit
tee was made in the friendllest spirit

both for the boards and for the
city's sake, he asked that an audit
OF the books for the last 10 years be
made. On the motion of Il. J. Hart
