Ml-Y BOYS CLUB
ATTENDS DINNER
Twelve of the Hy-Y Club boys
were present as the guests of the
campaign organization at Thurs
day's dinner. Each table had one
of these boys present nt their
table, and were requested to ask
the boys questions about the “Y”
work for the boys of Athens and
the Athens High School; what
good, if any the "Y.* had done
them, and specially to tell the
workers about the Hi-Y Club and
what it stands for. its aims and
methods of work. Its purposes. In
a few words, are us follows: “To
create, maintain nnd extend high
standards of Christian character
in the school and the community."
Their four jnajor objectives are:
“Clean speech, clean living, clean
athletics and clean .scholarship.”
Its methods of work are largely
personal and the group at work.
Those members of the Hi-Y
present were: Alfred Parham,
Lewis Earnest, Roy Grayson, Ros
well Mallory, James Phillips, Wal
ter Forbes, Jr., Charles Hooper,
David Campbell, Joel Dean, Doug
las Orr, Ernest Lee Griggs, and
“Red” Kenney.
Most Pressing Need Is Alleged to Be At High Schoo
As Shown by Statistics.
THINKS JUNIOR HIGH NOT NEEDED j
One Large New Building For Relief of Grammar
Schools All That Needs Justifying.
Discussing the proposed school bond issue, and favoring tho
amount as fixed ($175,000) being allowed to remain at that figure
and the election called for that amount of school bonds, Dr. John
D. Mell has written The Banner a letter in which he sets forth
his reasons for that position, giving some statistical informa
tion, which is not only authoritative, but will no doubt prove
valuable and interesting to the c itizens of the city who are not so
familiar as he with the real facts and conditions as they exist In
the Athens public schools.
Dr. <Mell is president of the city board of education, and has
been a member of that body for more than twenty years. He is
therefore thoroughly familiar with every detail of the physical
equipment of the schools and the attendance records, as well as
the admitted needs of the system.
His letter follows:
“To the Banner: Please do me the courtesy to publish the follow
ing reasons why, in uny opinion, the amount of the proposed
school bond issue should be $176,000, as already fixed, and not be
increased. I am writing on my rfwn responsibility and am not
claiming to express anybody's views but my own.
I ask a careful reading of the following letter written to me by
Superintendent Bond, at my request.
“Dear Dr. Mell: In compliance with your request I am glviug

The practice school at the Normal has seven classes enrolling

There are 500 systems In the United States having Junior High

This postscript is added.
“There are two basement rooms not counted above which are
now used as class rooms at Childs Street School. It will be seen
by the facts stated in this letter that there is no serious conges
tion anywhere at present In our white schools, except at the High
School, where there are 483 pupils enrolled. It Is true, however,
that at Childs Street two basement rooms are being used for
classes and, at Oconee Street, two of the classes are being taught
in the halls. Something will have to be done at once for the High
School, and the proper facilities furnished at Childs and Oconee
Streets. It will also be seen that tho conditions In the negro schols
are rather disgraceful to us. In three buildings with the combined
capacities of 800 pupils, we are crowding in 1252 pupils. I call
attention, also, to the fact that four of the seven buildings being
used at present for the white children, are in the old 4th. Ward,
viz: High School, Childs department with seven classes, attended
by 156 children of our city. It is true that the Nantahala build
ing is a wooden one. but It is well built, the rooms are large, well
ventilated and lighted and, in th lese respects are better than most
of those In the brick buildings. It

Athens is not going to do with
out her Young -Men's Christian
Association for the sake of the
boys and young men of Athens and
Clarke county: for the cake of the
Kingdom of God; for the cake of
our civic life.
Have you helpod In thla , great
grammar schools for the near fu
ture. It would release the Baxter
street school building for the ne
groes. and wc could abandon tho
Nantahala building entirely If wo
wished to. sending part of its
pupils to the new building and
part to Childs street, taking somo
of those now at Childs street out
and transferring them to the new
building, wherever their conven
ience and proxlmtt# would sug
gest it. These school districts aro
only arbitrary and can be changed
at any time to suit tho needs.
URGENT NEED AT
HIGH 8CHOOL X
Something will have to he dono
at once at the High School and
I believe that the first unit of
tho now building that eventually
wc will erect there, could be put
there now. In such a way that It
can be added to from time ti
time, thus relieving the tmpossl
Me condition there while, at the
came time wc would not be mak
lng any patch work on old and
delapldated buildings, but would
be really beginning our permanent
building program. This could be
done, and the other presalng de
mands In the grammar schools
met. with the $175,000. I am bas
ing my opinion upon written esti
mates made to the board of ed
ucation by Capt. J. XV. Barnett.
But the Parent-Teacher Associ
ation, composed of some of our
best citizens, is instating that two
new buildings instead of one be
erected, and that- the bond Issue
be raised to $225,000, in order, aa
t understand them, that a Junior
High school can be established in
the Childs street building, the ex-
street and Nantahala avenue and
they say this extra now building
should cost $80,000.
WHAT 18 JUNIOR
HIGH SCHOOL?
The question arises them, What
is the Junior High School, and la
it so important as to justify this
enormous extra expenso in these
hard times. It has been difficult
for me to understand Just what
this thing is from the many ladies
and the few gentlemen who have
so kindly explained it to mo, but
t am sura the fault was mine in
each casd However, if I have
caught their idea, they propose to
take the lower grade out of the
present high school and the last
grade from all tho grammar
schools, and form a new school
with them in the Childs street
1 building. The arguments ad
vanced for the Junior High as 't
understand them, are as follows:
1st There arc 800 places in the
United States, they say, that have
established this kind of school. I
think they are mistaken about the
number, as It is 580, Instead of 800
but, remember there are some 8.-
000 br 20,000 places In the United
States with high schools, where
they have not established the Jun
ior High, and the comparison of
these figures makes a poor show
ing for them indeed.

Already two formal tests have

District Attorney Hughes is op

tests.
“While alcohol, chloroform and
other induco talkativeness, the pa

“This 'truth serum* has an op

Little Stories Of Our Y. M. C. A.
» (By F. C. O.)
We left "tho dreamer" in Thurs
day’s little story, dreaming and
longing for a sure enough Y. M.
C. v A. building, and a generous
slice of “out doors” with it.
(“The dreamer” Is what some of
us called Walter T. Forbes when
he first told us about hls "Pageant
of Silence”—afterwadrs carried out
"by the town of Athens in 1917 In
the second Liberty Loan cam
paign.)
Along in 1912 Mr. Forbes’ dream
of n sure enough Y. M. C. A.'build
ing began to take shape, for tho
directors felt that the time had
arrived to phow Athens what tho
Y. M. C. A. was meaning to the
town, and so the directors organ
ized a campaign for funds to put
up a better building.
Mr. Frank Edwards had al
ready given a lot on Lumpkin
street two years previous to this
time upon which he had set no
valuation at all. but which tho
campaign managers valued at
I (7.500. Then the Hodgson family.
