Smallpox
To the Editor Of The Times
would like to say q few words
in ro.yard to the motion brought UP
before city council by Mr.. Morgan,
health commissioner, concerning
smallpox.
Four or five years ago when the
flu was raging throughout the city
and entire country. Mr. Morgan
thought Of but one thing, and that
was to put masks on people so they
could breathe the same breath over
and over thousands Of times a day.
People who were we'll could 20 in
aud see their neiehhors who had had
the flu and so back home and give
II 10 their family. and so on down the
line until most everybody had it.
Still the merchants had too much
cheesecloth on hands. so in order that
they could dispose OF It. the people
We're made to wear masks like bull
dogs.
Now practically the same thing ex-
lists in the case OF smallpox. only
there isn't so much cheesecloth on
hand right now. so the parents of
children are forced to have their chill
dren .vaccinated or else they are re-
fused an education by being compelled
to stay out Of school
The other morning as / WAS going
to work I saw a man come out OF
a. house. A smallpox sign was on 1t.
This man went to the car line and
got on Il street car. It just goes to
people may say that man had to make
living for his family. What is the
matter with the charitable organiza-
lions? That is what they are for.
l think the quickest way to stamp
out this disease is for the doctors to
see that when a smallpox sign goes
on a house the able persons stay in
as well as the sick.
Now Mr.. Morgan don't take the
spite out on the children and deprive
them of an education in the public
schools. If this is done, take all the
schools and not Just the public
schools.
1 would like to ask few OF the
men who voted in favor OF that mo-
tion-who pays taxes TO keep UP the
public schools, just those who voted
for that motion or the public as a
whole2 CHARLES TOLhh-
Old Papers
70 the Edttor Of Tine Timer
Tt seems at the present time when
there is small pox and other diseases
and compulsory vaccination has been
ordered by the health board in the
public schools and some of our fac
tories require employees to be vac
cinated that our public school prin-
cipals are jeopardizing the health of
the children by requiring them to
gather old papers and haul them to
school or other designated place.
DO the parents realize the dangers
TO which these teachers are subject
ing their children-not the diseases
alone. but the danger Of being hit by
machines, street cars and trains in
crossing the tracks with bundles of
papers under their arms.
Would it not be better to prohibit
this than to investigate it after an
accident has occurred? All the old
papers in the State could not pay a
mother for the loss OF a child.

Passed Four Grades in Two
YearS-IS Expected to
Finish Four More This Fall
at Peacock School

Another mental prodigy has been
found in Atlanta. He is John Over
ton Hancock, ten-year-old son Of DR..
and Mrs. Thomas II. Hancock, of
1900 Peachtree road.
Young Hancock was found" by
Prof Wesley Peacock. head of the
Peacock School for Boys, who is
interested in Atlanta's prodigy class,
of which Arthur Gottesman, ten
year-old freshman at Oglethorpe;
Isador Kunianslly, II years old, and
young Hancock are members.
In tests conducted by Prof. Pea
cock, Gottesman scored 1874; kunian-
sky scored 1877, and Hancock, young
est of the trio, 154.
John entered school at Washing
ton seminary, and in his first two
years passed four grades. At the
Peacock school this fall, in his third
year of schooling, he is expected to
complete the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades.
When neWspapermen sought him
out Thursday afternoon, John was
nowhere to be found, and his dis
covery came after Commute tramp
through the woods near his father S
residence on Peachtree road. Con
trary to what might have been eX
pected he was not found buried in
book in the corner of a dimly
lighted room.
John is a true lover Of nature and
outdoor life, and says his favorite
pastimes are football, skating and
wandering in the woods. At night
and on rainy days he reads.
Among the books for which ne
has a fond attachment are ROBIN
Hood ARABIAN Nights king
Arthur" "Poe's Tales" Kipling and
the "Children's Hour" a collection
of ten volumes. His favorite stories
are the adventures of heroes OF
pleasant hours, when he was be
tween the age of three and five
were spent in listening to his mother
read to him from "Dante's Inferno. .
His parents say that five years
was the age when they first sus
picioned that John was mentally
advanced, for he began asking ques-
tions then, and among the earliest
was a request for an explanation
of the law of gravity.
"In his play and love of games
he is a normal ten-year-Old boy, but
when taken aside and questioned
about any serious matter his an.
swer is surprisingly matured," said
his mother. ~
When asked what he wanted to
be when he grew up, he was prompt
in his answer: Il want to be a doc
tor, like my father" DR.. Hancock is
a well-knOwn Atlanta physician and
has been connected with the At.
!anta hospital for number of years.
In answer to a question as 20
, when he studied, John answered: "t
never study at all. Mathematics is
my easiest subject and 1 always do
my home work at school,"
According to his parents, John
first became conscious of his ad
vanced intelligence when he entered
Peacock school this fall. He i'm
mediately told his mother. II don't
fit. The boys in my classes are all
older than l am"
John has well defined features, \
pleasant face, Jnruly light brown
hair and blue-grey eyes. He is OF
normal height and weight and OF
an active and energetic nature.
He was born at Sc West North
avenue, and always has lived in At
lanta. DR.. Hancock is originally OF
Virginia and Mrs. Hancock is a ma
I tive Of Alabama.
John Hancock is six months
younger than Arthur Gottesman.
