CUPID ROUTS LURE OF LEARNING
IN WHIRLWIND SCHOOL WOOING
Miss • Lillian Yow. Popular
Society Girl. Deserted Virgil
for the Little God.
The lure of love and the. lure of learn
ing are both well established commodi
ties. The reverential citizen always
takes off his hat to either or both,
but
The two don't mix.
Whenever the two try to linger in
the same community there's usually a
disturbance. In fact, it is stated by one
in authority that it is a much easier
task to persuade the lion and the lamb
to. sleep in the same cradle or to bottle
up vinegar and soda than to set these
two in chairs opposite each other and
keep them "sot."
In the case of Miss Lillian Yow. of
Atlanta, now Mrs. Claude Allen Weller,
the lure of learning never did have a
chance. This in spite of the fact thai
he was with her several years before
his mortal enemy put in a solid ap
pearance. Os course. Lure No. 2 had
been hanging around in shadowy
shapes for quite a while, but Mias Yow'
never recognized him until he appeared
through the agency of Claude Allen
Weller.
-Many Romeos
Woo Popular Girl.
Before Miss Yow left Atlanta to at
tend Miss Semple's school in New York
she was a perpetual target for sere
nades, billet-doux, bonbons and pretty
speeches. Every species of Romer,
tried his luck al one time or another,
lit chorus they would ask her:
'---And when are you going to love
me ?"
And like Carmen she would answer
"Perhaps tomorrow. Perhaps
never."
This continued for -not so many
years. It couldn't, you see. Then Miss
Yow decided to investigate further thi
ancient rulqs of Babylon, the square
of the hypotenuse and such other gen
tle arts as are taught at institutions
known as finishing schools.
Miss Yow was a good student that
is. she was a student who learned rcart-
I ily and rapidly. Furthermore, she went
Ito work just as if she were really in
terested in what might be found in

And this was not all. Whenever the
girls wanted to do anything in partic
ular they always called on her. She
was the thinking machine for the whole
establishment.
On one occasion the girls organized a
minstrel show and nothing would do
hut that Miss Yow act as interlocutor.
She did. There were present many no
tables. All were impressed duly’ with
Miss Yow's management of the end
girls. All agreed that she was far fun

Lyman Abbott ever dreamed of being.
And—sh—they do say that lurking

speak a few jokelets; that he said to
himself, "1 have never heard anything
quite so dulcet," and that he admired

dropped her "r’e” and "g's.”
Miss Yow didn't meet Mr. Weller un

presto!!!!!!!! She met him Monday
and they were engaged Saturday night.

Slaton Indorses New Association
MOTHERS AID TEACHERS
Atlanta mothers, through the Parrnt-
Teaehers association, intend to work
tills summer for a closer community
of interests between the teachers in
the public schools and the parents of
the children in those teachers' care.
Fifteen parent-teachers' neighborhood
clubs of Atlanta women hate been or
ganized, and ate beginning work for
better playgrounds, open air schools
and health lectures by- experts.
Mrs. J. R Little, of Peachtree road,
head of the Atlanta chapter of the
Mothers congress, is leading the move
ment. and each neighborhood club is
headed by a mother wiho has children
in school. Frequent meetings will be
held, when relations among the mem
bers of the educational triangle—
teacher, parent, pupil—will be dis
cussed.
William M. Slaton, superintendent of
the city schools, gave his Indorsement
of the parent-teachers organization to
day. and commended the women of the
Mothers congress for their work. In
his statement he said:
Product of Logical Thought.
The Mothers congress is founded
essentially upon the realization of
the value of home and school in our
civilization. To accomplish the
maximum good, the Mothers con
gress is vigorously stressing the
wisdom of forming parent-teach
ers associations in city, town and
country throughout the United
State. The movement is the pro
duct of logical thought, patriotic I
interest and altruistic motive
When public opinion realizes the
in" sjiy of uni'ing ihe home and
the school in organized work for
our civilization and when the pub- I
lie conscience is aroused on the
subject, the greatest work will have
begun for the moral, physical and
intellectual interests of the race.
Tt is amazing and appalling to
see the vast moral and intellec
tual powers that could be used in
parent-teachers organizations go-,
ing to waste. The power of parent
teachers organizations in strength
ening our educational systems and
in promoting social welfare Is
greater than the agency of elec
tricity in economic and industrial
work
Will Form Public Opinion,
In the last analysis, public opin
ion controls things and the parenl
teacher organization will form pub
lic opinion. Then our curriculum
can be broadened to meet the de
mands of common sense and prog
ress. Teaching/ talent will be ap
preciated and decent salaries will
be paid. It would be easier to get
good teachers and easier to dis
place worthless ones. Then it will
be possible to secure a thorough
equipment for grammar schools and
high schools and the school can
realize for society the purpose and
dreams of its founders.
