SUNDAY PARK
QUESTION NOW
UP TO SHERIFF
Continued from Pago One.
ment was indicted for operating on
Sunday is n fact, but the records of the
courts will show that the Indictment
was tried before a Jury, who, after
hearing the evidence of witnesses, ac
quitted the officers, simply because
Ponce DeLeon had not been operated
on the Sabbath.
"Ponce DeLeon is Indeed a private
park. It Is a place for the ladies and
children of Atlanta, and the highest
degree of good order will be maintain
ed at all times. Regular city police are
detailed for duty, and we have three
special officers who mingle In citizens'
dress with the gatherings, and see that
no disorderly characters are permitted
to remain on the grounds at any time.
"The fact that this Is the fifth season
of the resort-park and that during the
whole period there has never been
move, desire, wish or intent to open
on Sunday any of the shows, games,
the theater or skating rink is certainly
evidence that we have no wish to break
down the Sabbath." •
From Father Gunn,
Father John E. Gunn, pastor of the
Sacred Heart Catholic church, sees no
objection to the opening of the park
on Sunday, as it fs conducted now.
He said, in response to a question:
"When the people of the churches at-
tend the services on Sunday I can see
no objection to their enjoying their aft
ernoons at a park like Ponce DeLeon.
I have never heard anything against
the park since it opened. Sunday is a
day for rest and religious observance
and recreation, and certainly there can
he no harm In Innocent amusements
like this, If It does not Interfere with
attendance on churchea.
"Speaking for my own church, we
have an average attendance of 98 per
cent of our membership, including
members from -7 to 70 years of age,
every Sunday. I believe few churches
could show as high a proportion."
Rav. R. O. Flinn.
Rev. Richard Ortne Flinn, pastor of
the North Avenue Presbyterian church,
Is emphatically opposed to the opera
tion of amusement devices on Sunday.
He said:
"You may say for me that I am un
alterably opposed to the operation of
such places, in the lirst place. It is a
violation of the state law. and that Is
enough. It offers mere recreation, when
people might find rest and edification
In the churches. I see no reason why
those people should be allowed to coin
money on Sunday any more than dry
goods merchants or others. I might
add that I am opposed to soda foun
tains on Sunday, not so much from the
standpoint of the public as from thut
of the tired workers who must attend
to them. I have no objection to Ponce
DeLeon on week days."
Rev. E. D, Ellenwood.
Rev. Everett Dean Ellenwood, pastor
of the Unlversallst church, sees no ob
jection to Innocent amusements oil
Sunday, as relating to Ponce DeLeon
and Its class of attractions. He said:
"I cRn seo no reason why orderly
amusements should not be conducted
on Sunday afternoon If they do not
disturb others. I believe that public
playgrounds should be open. I do not
believe In professional baseball, horse
racing nor theaters on Sunday, but 1
fall to see any objection to tired people
having a place for Innocent amuse
ment."

TEACHERS MA 1 ESCAPE
S UMMER NORMAL SCHOOL;
MAN} PROTESTS ENTERED
Board of Education
May Reconsider or
Postpone School.
There Is a strong possibility that the
board of education will reconsider Its
action In making it compulsory for
teachers to attend a five weeks' normal
school this hummer, tho genera! dis
satisfaction created by this regulation
having been brought forcefully to the
attention of the members. '
Just what will be done Is a matter of
speculation. Some are in favor, it is
said, of dropping the school entirely,
while others want tho length of time
reduced.
A resolution has been Introduced In
council by Councilman Terrell request
ing the board to postpone the normal
school until August. This was referred
to the schools committee, and will prob
ably be reported back to council Thurs
day at the special session.
After nine months' hard labor In
closed, sometimes stuffy and poorly
ventilated school rooms, the teachers
feel that It Is asking too much of them
to require them to attend a normal
school five weeks now In tho heat of
summer, without having a rest of even
a full week.
Hard on the Teachers,
The position of a teacher, at host,
they say, ts not a path of roses, and
they are probably paid less than any
other servants In the city's employ.
Now, to ask them to work flvo weeks
lenger without any pay at all, and to
the destruction ot all previous plans fur
a little rest and recreation, Is, the
teachers feel, more than should In Jus
tice be asked.
Many of the teachers had worked
throughout the yenr, with the constant
anticipation that when the hot summer
months rolled around they would be
free. Some had prepared trips to
Jamestown, and had made all ar
rangements accordingly. Others were
going to visit relatives and friends in
other cities.
Instead of a few weeks of deserved
rest after montjis of toll, the board has
erdered that they Immediately attend
a normal school for five weeks.
Shut in Close Rooms.
This will mean that they wll be shut
up In the closed rooms of the Girls'
High School every morning of the hot
summer days, beginning June 12 and
continuing until July 17.
It will also mean the abandonment of
all trips planned. Members ot the
board, It is said, have realized that tills
order was too stringent, and they are
talking about another meeting, at
which tholr previous action will be
modified.
Several members have told me,"
stated Councilman John W. Grant,
chalrmsn of the committee on schools
and ox-officio member of the board of
education, "that the teachers are dis
satisfied with our action In ordering tho
normal school.
The purpose of the school Is to have

Blue Tag Prices for the month of June
Special to The Georgian.
Savannah, Ga., Juno 4.—A special
from Statesboro says:
Yesterday nfternoon at Areola, a lit
tle girl of 12 years old was assaulted
by Will Goodwin, a negro. Goodwin
has been arrested and Is In jail at
Statesboro. Ho has confessed his
crime.
The little girl was passing a field
within a fow hundred yards of the
business part of Areola. The negro
was plowing In the field. He left his
plow and caught the little girl before
she could escape. He released her and
she ran crying into Areola, where she
told of the affair.
A posse was formed and the negro
was found without trouble near the
scene of his crime. It was determined
to got him Into Statesboro and Into Jail
as soon as possible, so as to prevent
violence.
P. It. McEtven, a resident of Areola,
had the negro confined and telephoned
to Statesboro, notifying Sheriff Ken
drick. There was no train to Areola
till this morning, but the sheriff was
supplied with tho railroad automobile
of the Savannah*and Statesboro rail
road and carried to the scene of the
trouble. Ho took Goodwin In charge
and brought him to Statesboro In the
automobile. •
the Inexperienced teacher better pre
pared. I see no objection to having it
later in the summer, however, and I
think all the teachers who have good
excuses should not be forced to at
tend.

Special to Tbs Georgia D.

perior court resumed Its session after a

"Friends” st the Grand.
In tho presence of a rather smnll, but
thoroughly appreciative, audience, the
George Fawcett Stock Company pre
sented "Friends," a pleasing little love
story, for the second week's bill at the
Grand opera house Monday nlgl\t. The
play Is otre of unusual merit, and while
It I* not Impervious to criticism. It Is
deserving of larger patronage than
greeted Its Initial appearance.
The play takes Its name from the
friendship which springs up between a
young musician and a young poet, the
former poor because of delayed recog
nltlon of his art: the latter poor be-
cause a crabbed old father who dislikes
poetry has cut off his allowance until he
abandons his rhymes. Then both fall
In love with the same girl and each
strives to advnnce tho cause of the
other. The necessary villain appears
upon the scene, hut his evil machlnn-
tlons are finally exposed and defeated,
nnd the musician, by the help of his
poet friend, gets the girl.
DeWItt C. Jennings, as Hans Otto,
father of the girl, did some clever act
ing as the victim of the opium habit.
Rose Curry, as Mnrguerlte Otto, of the
Metropolitan opera house, displayed
considerable amount of skill In execut
ing the part of the girl who Is loved
by three men and who loves only one.
George Schraeder aa Harold Hunting,
the villain In the play, did most credit
able work. Brandon Hurst as Adrian
Knrje, the musician; Regan- Hughston
as John Paden. Jr., the poet: Rurr t.'a-
ruth as John P„ 8r„ the business man,
and Phyllis Sherwood as tho "little
mother," all received merited pralso and
applause, and handled their roles with
marked ability.
On account of the High School com
mencements at the Grand, "Friends"
will he presented at the Bijou Theater
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights and Saturday matfneo.
“It’s Up to You, John Henry."
There la a little too much muchness
about "It's Up to You, John Henry,"
as presented by Charlie Grapewln, aid
ed nnd abetted by Mlaa Anna Chance,
at the Casino Monday night.
Not that tho performance Is not en
Joyoble, for the attraction Is well worth
while.' George V. Hobart’s lines, In
themselves, are funny enough, and
Grapewln knows what to do with them.
But the play and the cast did not fit
well. The latter seemed to bag at the
knees.
The truth of the matter li probably
that the east ts not on familiar terms
with "John Henry." A few rehearsals
should remedy this.
The Casino was well filled with the
admirers of Charlie Grapewln nnd Anna
Chance and the work of both wan ap
plauded freely. The former was es
pecially good In tho last net. when ho
nought a ticket to Confuslonvllle, but
landed In the Town of Easy Go, with
the only furnished room In his heart
occupied.
The Hurahlene quartette and a do-
funny song and dance by Fred Wayne
und JantCB Grant were the best among
n number of good specialties.
It wilt bo up to John Henry all the
week.
Pastime Theater.
If the crowd which attended the
tnutlncc and evening performances of
the Pastime Theater on Monday Is an
Index of the popularity of the place, all
records will doubtless he broken.
There are four stellar arts on the
program—Lewis and Lesslnger, In a
"Rube" act; Sytz and Sytz, the barrel
Jumpers; Tommy Wilks, the sweet
singer, und Baby Esmond, the child
actress.
Elsie Woods In topical songs received
an ovation.. Flora Esmond gave a ae
ries of Inimitable Impersonations wblch
brought down the houae.
Tommy Wilks, whose sweet singing
last week made him a prime favorite
at this home of vaudeville, la adding
new laurels.
Baby Esmond, the 4-year-old child
actress. Is really remarkable and her)
sweet singing and dainty steps never!
foiled to receive an ovation.
Skating at St. Nicholas.
It Is estlmuted that fully a thousand
skaters took advantage of the reopen- ;
ing of the colossal skating rink In tho '
St. Nicholas Auditorium at Ponce De-.
Leon park Monday, to induige In this
delightful pastime. It had been closed
for a week during the May-Junc Music
Festival, when all skating was called
off. The cool day and night of Monday
put everyone on un edge for this popu
lar dlvertlsement and when the first
session was begun It found skaters
anxious to get on tho floor.
As a memory of the Music Festival,
the giant orchestrion which has boon'
described so minutely In these column*,
was set to playing the opening number
at the first session. The orchestrion,
played by electricity, reproduces tho
notes and tones of sixty Instruments,
Including drums, cymbals, horns and
the like, in u manner almost perfect. It
sends its music distinctly to the fur
thest recesses of the rink nnd Is heard
all over the grounds. There will bo
music at each session dally hereafter.
Vaudeville at White City.
The vaudeville theater at White City
was crowded Monday afternoon and
night, the performances marking the

ginning of the summer vaudevillo sea
son.
Four performance*, two In the after
noon at 2:30 and 4 o'clock and two at;
night tit 7 nnd 9 o’clock, were given,
and the uudlencee expressed great
pleasure with all.
All of the amusements at Atlanta’*
new park did a land office business on
Monday. The circle swing and the to-;
hnggnn are proving the most popular,:
both being an Improvement on thoaa
previously brought, here. The minis-
ture railroad, the Ferris wheel and ca-G
rouse) are also being liberally patron- :
Ized.
The management has contracted with,
Wedemeyer'a band for two concerts'
dally, one at 3:30 o'clock In the after-;
noon and the other at 8 o'clock at;
night.
