THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. rnunSDAY, AUGUST 8. 1907. 7 And see if you have all that you will need for your TRIP. Then come and examine our immense stock of TRUNKS, BASS AND TRAVELING SUPPLIES The Beet Values on the Market. PimcleTfluikMfg.Co., 62 PEACHTREE STREET. 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.” Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 8.—It became known here today that representatives of about 41,000 railroad employees of Eastern roads have been meeting In ncret sessions at Cambridge Springs, Pa., the last two days discussing plans of the readjustment of the wages scale. Those represented are conductors, firemen, yardmen, switchmen, tele graphers. The roads Involved are the Pennsyl vania, New York Central and allied lines; New York, New Haven and Hart- tord; Central Railroad of New Jersey; Lake Erie and Western; Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg; Delaware and Huson; Baltimore and Ohio; Bos ton and Albany, and the Chesapeake and Ohio. farmer thrown FROM HIS HORSE T.

THINK THEY HAVE BURGLAR IN CELL With the arrest of Julius Young, a negro, the police believe they have cap 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. POSSE CHASING BANK ROBBERS 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." President James L. Mayson left Wednesday night for a vacation trl after learning the result of the mary. , SECRET REPORTTO CAUSE SENSATION IN OILTRUST CASE Taking of Testimony Has Been Under Way For • ‘ Some Weeks, p r n- UNION MEN LIKE NEYY CITY COUNCIL Washington, D.

The vote of the members of tho union wns divided pretty generally In practically every race and especially in the aldermnnio race between Messrs. (Rosewood nnd Pittman.

One feature of the primary that Is nste- worthy Is the fact that the Third ward passed the Second ward In both registration and rote cast and now holds the place which had been held for years by the fife- ond—that of having the hlgheat registration nnd vote cast.

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.

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.” B.
