mis TO INSIST
WHERE TEETH ARE
WORSHIPPED.
An American traveler recently deliv-
trni a lecture before a distinguished
tudlence at the home of a wealthy New
Yorker. On the table before him stood
one lone object.
I Said the traveler. "While I was In
India, three Royal Commissioners were
lent there by the" King of Slam to
negotiate for the purchase of a cer-
I tain tooth. They failed In their mls-
ilon, however, their offer of the sur
prising sum of $250,000 for the much
coveted tooth being declined.
"The tooth In question came, as the
Hindus believe, from out the mouth of
Buddha—the founder of the foremost
I religion of the Orient—and hence for
1 1.400 years that tooth has been an
object of worship.
I "It is enclosed In a-golden casket In
s shrine In the Great Inner Temple at
1 Kandy, and attracts thousands of wor-
I shipping pilgrims from far and near
I every year, and has never been exposed
I to the gaze of an unbeliever.
I "In hundreds of other shrines In In-
dla the teeth of human beings are
I worshipped by Hindus, who, above all,
I value good teeth as the reward of good
I ancestry and of eternal vigilance In the
I care of the body.
I "We Americans can certainly "learn
la lesson from the Hindu worship of
I teeth—the lesson of respect for one
I of the most Important parts of our
I bodies. For good teeth are not only
I veritable Jewels In the mouth of beau-
but Indicate good health, good
Ibreeding and rellned habits.
I "And here," concluded the lecturer,
I holding up a blue enameled box of
Itooth powder with Its patent telescopic
I measuring tube, “Is a dentifrice that
|ls used by people of refinement In
[every part of the world, where the use
lof a tgoth brush Is known. It bears
|thc label of Dr. I. W. Lyon's Perfect
|Tooth Powder, and Is the shrine at
|whlch thousands upon thousands to
day express respect for their teeth,
[for It not only cleanses, preserves and
|beautlfles them, but Imparts a natural
|fragrance to the breath. I, myself,
have carried Dr. Lyon's Perfect Tooth
IPowder twice around the world, not
being willing to trust the preservation
of my teeth to any other dentifrice.”
41,000 EMPLOYEES
Would Elect Grady Super
intendent By Vote of
the People.
Now that the people have expressed
their desire for popular elections', the
fight to secure this will be waged with
renewed earnestness In council.
Alderman A. L. Curtis, who almost
from the time he was first elected
councilman has been leading the fight
for elections by the people, and at
whose Instance the city executive com
mittee allowed the people to make an
expression on the question, serves no.
tlcea that the fight is on.
Alderman Curtis has fougjtt with
might and main for popular elections,
and now that thd people have said at
the polls they were with him, he In,
tends to bring It to an Issue In coun
cil. Last April he Introduced an or
dlnance in council, providing for elect.
Ing certain officials by the people, and
It was referred to the ordinance com
mittee, where It has been peacefully
slumbering In a pigeonhole ever since,
"I will now Insist," stated the al
derman Thursday morning, "that the
ordinance committee take Immediate
action, if It Is passed It will necessl
tate a charter amendment. One see,
slon of the legislature Is about over,
but the amendment will be made at the
next session. The people can bank
on that.
Wants Separate "Vote,
‘'You may Just put It down that there
will be no dodging and side-stepping.
I shall insist that the ordinance com
mittee make a separate vote on each
official, and council will be able to
vote on each separately and can have
no excuse. If the committee will not
report separately on each official,
shall Introduce separate ordinances.
"Not only that, but I am going to
call for an aye and nay vote on every
single one of them. Then the people
will know from the records who In
council Is voting according to their
expressed wishes and who are not.
"I shall not Insist on electing all the
officials named by the people. Those
I will Insist upon most particularly will
be the general manager and secretary
of the water works, the recorder, the
comptroller, the city clerk, and the su
perintendent of public schools. I shall
also Insist upon electing the superin
tendent of the Grady hospital, although
this official Is not embodied in my
original ordinance.
"Further than this, the ward physi
cians should be electod by their respec
tive wards. As It Is now, two of the
three representaT-Tes In council from
et ch ward can name the physicians.
"A councilman will not have tho op-
liortuntty of voting against the election
of the recorder by the people because
he does not favor the election of super
intendent of public schools by the peo
ple, or to vote against the. election of
general manager of the water works
by the people because he docs not favor
popular election of the marshal. Each
will be Voted on separately and on Its
own Individual merits.
"I think If the recorder were elected
by the people he would be a little more
considerate, and If the superintendent
of the Grady hospital were elected by
the people the ambulances would re
spond a little more promptly, and that
If the ward physicians were elected
by the people they would, look more
curcfully after the 111 and Indigent
poor.”

With the arrest of Julius Young, a

tured the burglar responsible for the
robbery of nearly a dozen houses In
Atlanta during the loat sixty days. A
trunk full of what Is thought to be
stolen property, and nearer 100 pawn-
tickets were found In his room.
Arraigned before Mayor Joyner, act
ing recorder, Young admitted three rob
beries, when the owners of certain arti
cles recovered Identified them. He was
held to the higher court In $1,000 bond.
The police naked that this amount be
named for fear Young would make a
smaller bond. He had a roll of bills In
his pocket when taken Into custody.

WORKERS FOR PROHIBITION
WON A DECISIVE VICTORY
IN EVERY CONTEST AT POLLS
Leagues of Atlanta
Elected Every
Man.
The workers for prohibition In Ful
ton county "have won a fight second
only to that In the general assembly,
and the result of the primary of Wed
nesday shows clearly the sentiment of
the people of the city on the prohibi
tion question. In nearly evdry ward
the lino was sharply drawn, and In
every ward the candidate who had the
backing of the prohibition workera was
the victor. It was shown In unmis
takable terms that Atlanta wants pro
hibition and wants It enforced.
To James L. Mayson, president; \V.
H. Terrell, secretary, and other work
ers of the Fulton County Anti-Saloon
League, and to the Young Men's Pro
hibition League belongs a large share
of the victory at the polls. The or
ganization sprang Into new life when
the state bill was before the assem
bly, and young men's organizations
were formed and the two began sys
tematic work. The result was shown
In the fact that two candidates for
places on the city executive commit
tee were the only men defeated who
were supported by the prohibition
workers.
"Personally, I am not In an exult
ant mood over the result of the pri
mary," said W. H. Terrell, secretary
of the Fulton County Anti-Saloon
League, Thursday morning, "although
we have won the most sweeping victo
ry ever known In Fulton county.
"The result of the campaign Is a
complete refutation of the argument
made by the antl-prohlbltlonlsts that
the peoplo of Atlanta are opposed to
the prohibition law, and that it will
not be enforced.
It Is a letter from home to the of
ficers of the city of Atlanta, In whose
hands Is the enforcement of the law.
I am quite sure that If any officer has
been Indifferent on the subject In the
past this result will awaken him so
that he will be diligent In the en
forcement of the law.
We do not propose to persecute any
person who, for any reason, was op
posed to the Indorsement of state pro-,
htbltlon. But we did not think, and do
not think now, that those who prophe
sied that the law would not be enforced
here, and that it would ruin Atlanta,
should be placed where they could
make their prophecy come true.
"These gentlemen have simply missed
, word in the political spelling class,
nd must go foot and spell up again.
Nothing will be done by the men elect
ed, or their friends, to retard the
growth of Atlanta, or to make It less
comfortable for a law-abiding citizen
to live In the city, whatever views he
may hold."

Summoned by neighbors who were
deeply aroused, Probation Officer Gloer
rescued Mary Eleanor Fillmore from
her mother Wednesday night and sum-
moned the woman to court to answer
charges of cruelty.
The child Is only > yeaYs old, yet It Is
charged that her mother tied her on a
bed and beat her bore flesh with
heavy strap. Her body Is p mass of
bruises.
"I have been a public officer for near
ly twenty-five years.” said Officer Gloer,
"and never In my life have I seen such
an example of cruelty. And the mother
did not seem Sorry. I brought the child
away because I wns afraid she would
turn on her after I left and kill -her In
her rage." <
The little girl seems afraid to talk.
She Is pretty In a frail way, and does
not give the Impression of being the
bad child the mother says she Is. She
can not move without pain, but sat all
Thursday morning In the matron's room
wondering, apparently, what It was all
about.
Mrs. Fillmore, who lives at 143 Ira
street, does not deny whipping the child
with a strap, but says she did not think
te was whipping her so hard.
According to the neighbors, these
beatings are of common occurrence-, but
the child's cries Wednesday night were
so piteous that they decided to appeal
to the police.
Mrs. Fillmore will be arraigned be
fore the recorder Thursday afternoon.
President K. G. Matheson, of the
Georgia School of Technology, does
not agree with the view expressed be
fore the general assembly that the col
leges of the state are drawing too much
of the state's funds at the expense of
the common schools, and. In an inter
view Thursday, he, takes up the condi
tion of the Tech ant] discusses the need
of higher branches ond. technical edu
cation. He sayd:
"In the premises, let me eny that I
Join with all right-thinking college of
ficials In deploring a manifested tend
ency to create a factional fight between
the public school system of the state
and the higher Institutions of learning.
NO one recognises more etrfphatlcally
than we of the colleges the vital union
existing between all coordinate
branches of education, from tho kin
dergarten to the university. It is Im
possible to have effective higher educa
tion without proficiency In the public
school system. It Is equally Impossi
ble for the stafe to progress If ,the
public school system Is to exhaust its
educational effort. Within the last fow
years, particularly, all prominent of-
llclals of the colleges have directed
strong efforts to the development of
the public school system, and these co
ordinating effortB will not cease until
the public schools of the state have
reached the highest stage of develop
ment.
“All thinking men must recognize,
however, that the public schools can
never properly be developed under the
resent system of direct appropriation,
n very state of the union, without ex
eptlon, where the public schools have
attained high merit. It has been accom
plished by local taxation In connection
with the state’s approprlatlpn. Geor
gia will prove no exception to the rule,
and If the stigma of Illiteracy Is to be
removed. It must be accomplished by
generous local taxation In the counties,
In connection with the pro rata appro
priation from the state. Doubtless
go , .
to submit to the people of the state the
following consideration relative to the
Gorgta School of Technology:
Need Technical Training.
"I assume at this lute day It Is un
necessary to defend before an Intelli
gent people the vital necessity tor en
gineering institutes and the technical
training therein given. The Industrial
revolution going on In the South,
tlcularly, absolutely demands, for
leaders technically trained men. If the
state and the South are to progress,
this demand will be met, if not locally
then by the graduates of Institutes lo
cated in other states, who will come
here and reap the rewards of leader
ship. Already this Is being done to a
great extent. I have no statistics for
the current yen* before me, but during
1808 over 8,000 business enterprises
were chartered In the South and less
than 4,000 technical students were en
rolled In all the Southern engineering
Institutions. Statistics prove that dur
ing the year In question for every en
gineering graduated from a Southern
college fifteen such graduates came In
from the North and West. Further
more, that the number of graduates an
nually supplied Southern Industries
does not supply the actual loss annu
ally. If these statistics Indicate any
thing they emphasize the demand for a
great and Immediate development of
technical education.
Number of Graduates.
stltutlon that Its appropriation should
not be Increased, due to the fact of Its
relatively small number of graduates
each year. The state should not pay
$58,008 annually for thirty-five gradu
ates, l« the protest made. I submit
that a moment's consideration will
show the fallacy of such protest. The
state of Georgia did not appropriate
{55,000 last year to graduate thirty-
five men merely. It appropriated the
amount to educate 562 men. and to
graduate thirty-five of that number.
As a matter of Interesting contrast,
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology spent last year $520,000 to edu
cate 1,397 students. One graduate to
each member of the faculty Is tho fur
ther criticism. When only such re
sults are achieved, therefore, the school
is not deserving of Increased appropria
tion. In reply, 1 have It on highest
authority that the cities of Athens, Au
gusta, Macon and Rome do not gradu
ate from their public school systems an
average of one pupil to the teacher, anil
It is most likely that further Investi
gation will prove that the same con
dition holds in practically all the pub
lic schools of the state. Therefore, by
analogy, It Is unwise to Increase the
public school appropriations In the
towns concerned. No thoughtful man
will, for a moment, accept such con
clusion from such a premise, and 1
respectfully subtr.lt that' the premise
and conclusion are similar in tho In
stance of the Georgia School of Tech
nology.
Students All Profit
"The money appropriated for the
support of 'each public school in tho
state Is primarily for the education of
the scholars enrolled annually; that
is the greatest good to the greatest
number. Secondarily, for tho gradua
tion of the relatively fow students who
have the ability, application and per
severance to complete the courses con.
earned. This is true likewise of the
Technological school. Throughout the
state, from border to border, there are
hundreds of young men who have en
joyed from one to three years’ training
In this Institution who are accomplish-,
ing great results for the Industrial de
velopment of the state. Tho training
acquired here, even for one year, gives
the young Georgian a valuable equip
ment for the advancement of himself
ond his community, though, of course,
the best results arc achieved in the
event of his graduation. ’ Another Im
portant fact is that even one well-
equipped leader may revolutionize tho
industrial conditions of his section
Thirty-five annually will do much to
ward having a like effe-.t upon tho
slate, and -we propose to Increase the
number decidedly.
Continuoue Effort.
"Space does not permit the discus
sion of reasons why all technical In
stitutes graduate a relatively small
proportion of their enrollment. A bare
mention of the facts can only be made.
First, average natural aptitude of a
scientific nature Is fundamental. Good
preparatory training Is equally essen
tial. and then after enrollment In the
technical school, rigid and persistent
application dally la the sole condition
of graduation. The "cramming" proc
ess so common In the colleges utterly
falls of success in the scientific school.
Continuous, and not spasmodic, effort
Is vitally essential. While local pre
paratory training Is Improving, still
there Is a great work to be accom
plished. and were we lacking In or
dinary patriotism, selfish Interest would
demand that we foster the public school
system so as to provide for our pros
pective students the necessary prepar
atory training. The Georgia School
of Technology, as compared with such
Institutions In the North and West,
has minimum requirements, both for
entrance and curriculum, and Its stand
ard can not be lowered, If we are to
meet the demands of modern engtneer-
"Furthermore, the demand for tech
nically trained men Is so great, that
here, as elsewhere, many undergradu
ates are Induced from their studies to
accept good paying positions constant
ly offered them.
Trained Instructors.
“Scientific Instruction absolutely de
mands highly trained scientific In
structors. This fact makes a great
majority of the teaching forces of the
technical schools Independent as to sal
ary. In our own Instance, we have
have Its teaching Intrusted to Incom-
must pay compensating salaries or
petent men, with Incompetent engi
neers as a result.
Need Mors Teachsrs.
“In order better to Instruct our stu
dents and graduate more men, a larger
teaching staff Is Imperative. Some of
our classes last session numbered 55
men to tho Instructor, a condition In
scientific work which would be ab
surd were It not so serious. Further
more, by such lack of teachers we are
debarred from giving the special
courses which are leading features of
technical schools elsewhere.
"The proposed plan of charging tui
tion fee for admission to the university
and Its branches Is One of too much
Importance upon which to take snap
action. The annual report of the Unit
ed States commissioner of education In
dicates that only some ten or eleven
state Institutions charge tuition, and In
most of the cases concerned the charge
Is a nominal one. The matter Is one
of sufficient importance to Justify the
appointment of an Investigating com
mittee composed of competent and In
terested men.
"The statement Is made that the
people of Georgia have no realisation
of tho cost of the state’s support of
di
spends some-
i higher education. Georgia
what less than $200,000
such support, enrolling some 8,000 stu
dents In the university and Its branches.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Nebras
ka and other such states each spends
over $1,000,000 annually for the train
Ing ot from 3,000 to 4,500 students, and
each state concerned considers tho In
vestment not only a good, but a vital
one. All of our sister Southern states
aro likewise making Increased appro
prlatlons for this purpose, particularly
In engineering education. South Caro,
llna and Alabama, each smaller and
less wealthy states than Georgia, have
recently appropriated several hundred
thousand dollars for the maintenance
nnd equipment of their engineering
schools. Tennessee has appropriated
$100,000 within the past few: months,
nnd so with other Southern states. We
can not make bricks without straw.
The Georgia School of Technology hae
attained the front rank among South
ern engineering lnetltutlons on lnade.
quote support, but It has reached the
limit of possibilities on its present In
come and can pot progress unless that
Income be materially Increased. We
are held responsible for the develop
ment of this Institution, but we serve
due and serious notice upon the stato
of Georgia that we can not go further
on our prenent support. The present
plant and equipment of the school Is
largely the result of donations, but the
whole tendency of philanthropists le to
endow private colleges and cause the
states to take care of Its own Institu
tions. Even were Georgia willing to
have her colleges supported by charity,
the day of such possibility Is past.
We definitely promise to Increase
greatly the efficiency and extent of tbe
Georgia School of Technology If given
adequate support by the state, but with
all thf seriousness that the occasion
demands, we respectfully serve notice
that the school can not further develop
unless that support bs accorded.”
