Cheaper Power Juice
The automobile owners of Atlanta

ing. The increase to both wholesaler
and retailer has been about one-third.

Refutes Dr. Harris’ “Proof”
Showing How Few Grade
Pupils Enter High School.
William M. Slaton, superintendent of
schools, today denied the public state
ment of Dr. R. E. L. Harris, of Au
gusta. that only two per cent of the
common school pupils of Atlanta enter
high schools. He said that Dr. Harris
did not know what he was talking
about, and he produced statistics which
show that 9.2 per cent of the white
grammar school pupils in Atlanta last
year are in the four city high schools
this year. The negroes are not counted
because there are no negro high
schools.
Last year there were 14,801 white
children in the grammar schools. There
were 5,346 negroes. There are 670 pu
pils in the Girls High school, 197 in
the English-Commercial Girls High
school, 363 in the Boys High school
and 151 in the Boys Technological High
school.
Many Schoolma'ams to Wed.
Mr Slaton is now engaged in pre
paring his recommendations to the
board of education for teachers for
next year. There are 541 teachers in
the system. Mr. Slaton says there will
be a number to resign on account of
marriage and ill health and for other
reasons. For the vacancies 250 have
already stood examinations.
The election of these teachers by the
board of education takes place on June
8. Council has pledged itself to give a
raise of five per cent in salaries at the
beginning of the new term. This will
raise the minimum salary paid from
$57.75 to more than S6O.
THREE-CENT COIN A
BLOW AT CHURCHES,
SENATOR IS TOLD
WASHINGTON, May 22.—Senator
Penrose has received a letter protesting
against the proposed three-cent coin,
on the ground that it is a blow at re
ligion.
If this view is correct, the number of
missionaries In the foreign field may be
curtailed and the average salaries of
preachers in the United States, which
is now only S3OO a year, be further cut
if the three-cent coinage bill goes into
effect.
"The street car companies and tele
phone companies may suffer loss under
this bill, and existing slot machines
max be put out of commission, but
have you thought of the latitude this
new coin will give to the stingy man
when the collection basket is passed?”
the letter asks. "Now few persons dare
to put copper coins in the collection
plate, and drop in a nickel instead. If
this new three-cent piece is coined the
church collections from these people
will decrease greatly. The pastors of
churches have an interest in this bill
which must not be overlooked."
