Alt anta, Ddc. 20.—The city director)
of Atlanta ie out and shows that within
the directory limits Atlanta's population
la 106,831. This iuc'udes West Bud,which
has just been added to the city, bu*
doesn't include Edgewood, Kirkwood,
Inmao Park or Decatur, which are prac
tically parts of Atlants. It shows a
steady growth and is especially gratify
ing in view of the hard times of the past
year and the removal of the Richmond
A D iuville Railroad offices, which tdbk a
good many people from the city. Atlanta
certainly does grow and can be counted
on to keep up the lick.
The Qnes’ten of ’ Codification.
A prominent lawyer, who is very close
to the governor and the supreme court
Judges but who doesn’t pretend to talk
for tnem at all and probably doesn’t do
so, gave me this list from which he says
the three codifiers will be selected. Here

Judge John L. Hopkins aud
H. Davis, of Atlanta, Hon. Joe
Lamar, of Augusts; Hon. Clifford An

THE BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL
Will Make a Christmas Offering tor the
Foor.
It was decide d last Sunday at the First
Baptise Sunday-school not to have any
Christmas tree this year.
Instead of spending money in gifts for
'he children of the school, it was decided
to ask each member of the school to give
■lometbii'g for the poor.
Money is so scarce and there is such
pressing need for economy, that it was
thought to be a needless extravagance to
spend money in the purchase of dolla
toys and candies for the children of the
school, many of whom are abend >uily
supplied with such things at home,"Espe
cially when there may be many children
in the city who are almost without
needed food and clothing.
Acting on the Bible idea that Jt is bet
ter to give than to receive, each member
o r the school will be permitted to make
a contribution to the poor.
If they desire to give money it can be
contributed on next Sunday morning. If
clotbicgis given, it can be sent to the
office of W. J. Neel, 2)3 Broad street,
ei ber on Sa’urday or Monday. If food
of any kind is contributed, it can be sent
to Dr. Headden’s residence, either At
Sa’U'day or Monday.
The offerings thus made, of what
ever kind, will be taken charge
of by Dr. Headden, Capt. Stillwell and
Mr. Neel, and distributed in such way as
to do the and reach the most
needy.
When the winter closes in and the
rough weather begins there is sure to be
the most urgent and pressing demand so,
help, and the shoeless, oatless children
of Rome mast be provided fcr.
The children of the First Baptist
Sunday tebool are now put on notice that
any ( fferingsthey may be able or willing
to rhake will be gladly and grateful y re
ceived. This is an opportunity to
brighten some cheerless home and glad
den xome sad beatt. Almost anything
r in the way of food, fuel, clothing or
money can be used and will be appre
ciated.

AN EXPERIENCED LADY,
/
Who Knows Much of Public
Schools Visiting the
/' Hill City.
/ x
Mr*. Mignon L. Selden, a teacher from
G«i.neHville, F>a., is spending a fa*
months in Ruma.
Mra. Selden organised the public
schools io her city, taught higher mathe
matics in a boj s military school, and has
visited many of the reboots and school
systems of the north. A few data ago
she visited our own city schools, and on
being asked by one of the teachers to
write her impressions, she kindly fur
nished the following, which will be read
with interest by evety Roman.
Friday morning, escorted by a small
boy, I climbed the hid to visit the R ime
public schools. I always enter a public
school with something of the reverent
feeling I experience in going into a
church. For at school during study and
p ay are learned often the first real les
sous of life. While trai ing the mind
the teacher can als > train ihe heart, and
in bis disc'p ine he can lay the found;-
‘tion for the conduct of the future citizen.
The law of the school room is the law of
a miniature nation, for we find al! nation
alties, all religious, all social grades rep
resented here, and laws for the ind 1 -
vidual, laws for the mass.
And as for their play, it was Dr.
Ai sold, wisest of modern rducators who
said “let anyone bear a boys lessons, but
let me direct his play houi s.” And it is
Hue that what a person chooses for bis
r< creat’on shows more his character than
what he chooses for bis business.
My first impression of the public
school was that evert body looked happy
*nd inter* sted. The fl;st is the very
basis of good school work, the second en
sures- access.
Prof. Harris gave me time as gra
ciously as though be had not fifty things
he wished to be doing, and as we visited
the fourteen departments of the school,
the teachers were as cordial as if they
were really glad to be disturbed. Even
•he girls and boys acted as though they
held an informal reception every day.
One class kindly voted that I bear their
geography lesson, but I had discovered a
large relief map of Africa, modeled in
clay, and fearing I had forgotten the
Dime of the mouitains whose summits
.hey bad covered with snowy fi >ur, and
I being sure I couldn’t spell the names of
Lthe lakes which they had represented
I with bits of glass, I begged to be ex-
Icused on the plea of wishing to hear a
Ireci'atiou in mathematics elaewhere.
I The second thinrr that impressed me
kwas the fact that nobody apologized for
Lnything. True, it was Friday, and
Everybody was tired, and thipgs, per
haps. were not in as perfect order as on
Monday. Borne pupils were absent be-
Hiuse of the grip, yet I expected some
■ody to explain those facts to
PPiYei
did
MRfed the claes
doing—he
found a class of bright
Bffl* writing. They could give
Mnes and lines and spaces and prin-
HRes in the Spencerian system of pen
manship with the greatest readiness.
Th' penmn-rahip throughout the school
«B> ui.sualiy good.
One class of little people sang very
prettily, and then wrote on the black
b -srd from dictation. While they were
writ nr, we discussed from a psycho
logical stand point, the ctuse of tbe sill
questions the small boy is wont to ask.
For instance, one had just asked whether
“lamb” should begin with a capital let
ter. We wondered which of the follow
ing ciusea led to tbe queation:
1. His desire to be correct.
2 Hie knowledge of tbe name “Lamb”
as applied to a literary fami'y.
3. His wish to observe ihe effect of
bis question upon bis teacher, who was
engaged in c mversation witb a visitor.
4 His desire to attract attention to his
own personality.
We decided in favor of the fourth on
our general knowledge of hum in nature.
In another grade the chil <ren were
struggling with the n »mas of syllable*,
and one girl volunteered to inform us as
to the meaning of “penult” and “ante
penult,” and did so correctly, making
me sigh at the thought of now far be
hind these ypungstera we were in my
school days, when we bad no such wis
dom till we studied Latin.
It was interesting to observe in one
class-room an almanac, being made on
tbe blackboard by the pupils, and they
were also taught to approximate the tem
perature of a room when they entered it.
Then there were written lessons, not
wearisome compositions on “Faith,” or
“Ambition,” but sac’s about flowers
which the children had observed and re
corded.
Io tbs seventh grade (Prof. Gwaltney’s)
I heard an interesting recitation in per
centage, the students working problems
at tbe board and giving rapid analysis.
Iu another room I ei j ;yed tbe drawing
class, but found only fifteen minutes de
voted to the subject. If you will pardon
a suggestion from one earnestly inter
ested iu the education of our young
people, I sbou’d think it would benefit
tbe school greatly If the art department
were extended The most progressive
institutions in our country today recog
nize the importance of this branch of in
struction.
Teachers are all ready to teitify that
drawl g makes a pupil neater about his
personal appearances more careful of bis
books, and note books impioves
bis penmanship, trains bls eye,
develops bis taa'e find often
tent talent) and above all is a blessing to
him in teaching him to see more of the
beauty in art and nature. Instead of
making a hasty copy of his teacher’s de
sign be should have time for original
pretieal woik, such as being given to the
N2cion now, through the enthusiastic ed
ucator, John Ward Stinson, of New
York city. It is an interesting fact that
in that institute the southern students
are the moat artistic and we have yet to
realise tbe possibilities in our southern
land, for art development

IN PRETTY QUARTERS
The Southern Female College to Move to
Anniston.
The Southern Female College was re
cently burned out at Birmingham, Ala.,
and will move to Anniston in time to
open January Ist
w The Anniston Inn, one of the moat
bMttdings is tbe state, has been
■rafor a number of years, according
Mr. H. G. Lamar, business manager,
and will be the college building. Thia
gives a splendid and well-furnished
place for the college, and will doubtless
attract many pupils.
Mrs. Sparks and Miss Cade Sparks, of
Rome, are both connected with the insti
tution.
BADLY INJURED:
A Hand Car Kuna Over a Railroad Ran on
theX. T. V. AG.
Mr. E. King, bridge foreman of the E.
T. V. & G. R. R., was run over by a hand
car Thursday morning and badly hnrt
He was on the car going to the At
lanta junction when he fell off and was
run over.
He was badly injured in the back and
it is feared there may be internal inju
ries. Dr. Garlingtou has charge of him,
and hopes to pull him through all right
in a short time.
Mr. King’s home is down the Rome and
Decatur near Coosa, and he has many
friends about here who wish him a
speedy recovery.

And Then Took It—A Negro Boy’s
Escapade*
Miss Jefferson, of Memphis, who is
visiting Mrs. B. T. Haynes, missed her
watch yesterday, and Mr. Haynes soon
located the thief. It was Cal Ronarson, a
diminutive negro, who said he took it
because he saw it.
He stated that a negro named Will
took it away from him, but he had tbe
chain. This Mr. Haynes secured and
then put the police on to Will. The lit

ALL FOR EVANS.
The Athens Banner the Only
Paper of Importance
WORKING FOR ATKINSON.
The Liquor Question Being
Agitated in Atlanta.
Other Items.
Special to the Tribune.
Atlanta, Dec. 21.—Tbeannouncement
that tbe Athens Ba;- ner has come ont for
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson for governor, is
tbe most interesting phase of the politi
cal situation today. It has been sup
posed here that the strong influences in
Clarke county wou'd be for Atkinson and
the indications are now that the politi
cians who are supposed to swing things
will undoubtedly endeavor to put that
section of the state in line for tbe Coweta
statesman. This makes it appear that
there will be some fun iu the governor
ship race after aIL Os late it has
looked as if everybody would be for
Evans. Almost all the daily papers in
the state are pulling for Evans, the Ban
ner being the most important that is foi
Atkinson. Atkinson’s friends here say
that they are not talking poliiics these
days, but are waiting. They talk signi
ficantly about surprises promised for the
nearfuture, but it will take a pretty big
surprise to stop the l.nd slide in favor of
the old general. It is announced that
Speaker Atkinson will not make any for
mal announcement until after the
Christmas holidays. How soon be will
do it thereafter, is not stated, but neither
he nor bis friends seem at all cast down
at tbe outlook. They talk significantly
about other candidates which is sup
posed to mean here either Blount or
Judge Allen Fort.
The Liquor Question Agitated.
A petition sent into the council by
liquor men asking to be permitted to
keep open until 11 o’clock instead of 10,
as is now the law, has created a good
deal of discussion on all side*. Both of
the papers have taken editorial positions
against any change in the present law,
and against the agitation of the question
in any shape.
It is strongly hinted by the prohibi
tionists that if tbe present law is tam
pered with the people might expect
another prohibi’ion fight on their hands.
Nobody is anxious for this, and the only
way to prevent it is for the liquor men
to lay low and say nothing.
On the face of it the request would
seem fair, as the saloon men are willing
to take the extra hour off of the other
end of the day and open at 6 o’clock in
stead of 6, but tbe people don’t want any
agitation of the question whatever, and
the council will certainly net pay much
attention to the request
Amusement In Atlanta.
Atlanta has enjoyed a genuine treat in
the visit of the Pauline Hall opera com
pany, which was hero last night. It is
to be regretted that the company is so
large that it cannot make more pointe in
Georgia and the south, for it is unques
tionably the very best comic opera com
pany that has ever come south. Atlanta
is decidedly metropolitan with its three
theaters, all of them running in Jail
blast most of th retime. The Arabs have
tiitaeiu 'DeGive opera bouse, a
miSatrel show is there tonight and the
Princeton Glee Club comes tomorrow.
At the Grand we have tbe Honeymooners
and the finest farce comedy which has
ever come south, Donnelly and Girard.
The Edgewood is running popular prices
and all of them are doing fairly wel'.
Atlanta surely does grow.
