THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 'Si, 1911.
To Be Established at Ottley
Home by North-ave. Pres
byterian Church.
An open air oehool that will do away
with crowding the children In hot and
•tuffy clans rooms has been planned
by the North-ave. Presbyterian church
and will be put In operation this fall.
The school, which will be located*on
the site of the former home of J,
■ Ottley, will be the first of lb kind In
the South. Many of the Northern
cities have tried the plan and It has
met with fcreat success, and the mem*
of the church who have been con-
. ducting a school for the past two years
decided to adopt the movement which
ta spreading rapidly over the entire
country.
Dr. Marlon McH. Hull o$ the board
of trustees Is enthusiastic over the re
sults to be-obtained from such a plan.
"We shall attempt to do away with the
objections found In other schools,” he
laid. “Hours will he made shorter and
physical training will be given expert
attention. Individual attention to each
student will give him a thorough drill
ing In the subject of study and the new
open air feature Is sure to be a suc
cess In the South."
Mias Harriett Huger Thomas, last
year of the University of Chicago, will
oe principal and the trustees are con
gratulating themselves on the able fac
ulty secured.
The physical training will he under
Prof. P. B. Magee, formerly instructor
of the Young Men’s Christian associa
tion.
The Bible will be thoroughly taught
In the schopl, but not In a way that
will be In accord with the doctrines of
any particular sect.
* Two special features that are bound
to please the pupils are the shorter
hours, 9 to 1:80 o’clock, and the week’s
vacation In the spring, which
planned to do away with that almost
fatal malady, "spring fever."
The board of trustees of the North
ave. Presbyterian school consists o
the following Atlantans: Judge Krnest
C. Kants, chairman; Custls N. Ander
son, treasurer; Dr. Marlon McH. Hull
Wllmer L. Moore, Hoke Smith, John 8.
Cameron and Dr. K. G. Matheson.

Success About to Crown Their Work
SMITH’S APPOINTMENTS
ARE STILL INTHESENATE
Committee Fails to Act on
. Them-.-Hold-Up Movement
Still Under Way.
The senate la still standing pAt upon
Governor Smith's appointments.
The gtnrntl Judicial committee of
that body, meeting Tuesday afternoon,
failed to reach the consideration. Other
business was discussed, action was
j tgken upon several unimportant bills,
but the appointments lay smothered
when the committee adjourned.
Thf action, or laek of action, upon
the'part 1 oft he judiciary committee was
not unexpected. In fact. It had been
freely predicted that such a course
would be pursued until Qovernor Smith
showed his hand.
The sntl-8mtth forces in the senate,
those who forced the Harris aub-reso
lution upon the body, have gone on
record as opposing the governor's np-
‘polntments, nnd even had the judiciary
committee come thru with a favorable
report. It Is likely that the Semite's ac
tion would have been unfavorable.
The appointments before the commit
tee are: Judge and solicitor of the
county court of Clay county, solicitor
of the city court of Athens, and three
University of Georgia trustees.
President Taft and Sir Wilfrid Leurisr, premier of Canada, who will try to do tha same thina in tho do
minion in regard to reciprocity that tho president succeeded in aging when tne pact was acoeptsd by oongress.
If the treaty is reoeivsd by the Canadian parliament, Premier Leurier will sign it and it will then be In affect. It
is considered a certainty that there will be no opposition of • serious nature in Canada.

REMEMBER:
Our government has evils. Every
body admits that it is diseased. The Re
vised Charter is not a cure. It’s an aggra
vation. The motive of its sponsors may
be admirable—but it is misdirected^
The Commission form is undoubtedly
the only remedy. It is the solution for
our problems.
The people are hunger-pinched for a
change in the administration of our pub
lic affairs. They clamor for something
better than mere crumbs.
Active, outspqken rebellion against in
trenched politicians is the only hope for
civic happiness and prosperity.
Direct authority and personal respon
sibility guarantee achievement.
Men do things under the pressure of
S ridfe. Your implied dr expressed confi-
ence in their ability puts them on their
mettle.
