0. H. S. ALUMNI
DEFEND SMITH
Graduates in Other Years Call
1912 Class. Which Criticised
Professor, “Childish.”
Alumni of the Boys High school came
th the rescue of Professor J. H. Smith
today in a letter to the board of educa
tion deploring the action of the 1912
senior class iji criticising him for hav
ing charged 50 cents to engrave each
name on a diploma.
The graduating classes from 19<16
through 1911 are represented. They say
that the charge was absolutely legiti
mate and above board.
In spite of this, it Is thought that the
board of education will take steps to
stop the practice.
The letter of the alumni reads In
part:
Call Criticism Unjust.
"We wish to record our protest
against the action of the 1912 senior
class and any other disgruntled persons
in their unjust criticism of Professor J.
H. Smith for having made a charge of
50 cents each for having engraved or
inscribed their names on their diplo
mas. Being acquainted as we are with
the work done by Professor Smith on
the diplomas, having paid him for simi
lar work ourselves, we believe his
charge to have been entirely reasonable
and fair; in fact, to have been less than
most any other competent penman
would have charged.
"Professor Smith is an expert pen
man. was engaged by the boys them
selves to do this work, and did it in his
spare time as a private matter. He did
it more as an accommodation to the
boys than for the little money he made
out of it. Each hoy knew in advance,
exactly what the charge would be, and
if he did not wish for Professor Smith
to do the work he had the privilege of
employing any one he saw fit.
"We deeply deplore the action of the
1912 class, and must charge it to ‘child
ishness’ and a lack of knowledge of the
value of time and skill."

CHOOSES ELECTRIC
OF COLONIAL STYLE
Still another celebrity—a connoisseur
has chosen the Handers electric from
among all the rest. I'ncle Joe Cannon,
always an enthusiastic motorist, discov
ered that no garage equipment 1s com
plete without, an electric for urban and
suburban service.
After looking them all over, testing the
riding qualities, he, like William Rocke
feller, Glenn H. Curtiss, and others, who
consider not price but the beauty and
luxuriousness of a. vehicle, selected the
Flanders Colonial electric for his.

Kiddies Hail Wtih Joy Begin-1

Summer Vacation.
Some 32.nnn of the younger genera
tion were turned loose upon Atlanta
today at 11 o'clock, when the last gong
sounded in all the public schools of
the city.
Several will go forth to conquer or to
die, while the remainder will content
themselves with three months of lifo
beside a flowing stream or in the back
pastures with a battered baseball.
"It has been an unusual session." said
Superintendent William M. Slaton,
slapping his hands as a token of enthu
siasm. “So was last year's session an
unusual session. In the Atlanta public
schools the trend is always forward. |
Each year means the establishment of
new records in attendance and in
achievement. This year we feel proud

of the classes whlcn will leave our
schools to begin their battles or to pre
pare themselves still further In the col
leges. They are well rounded, intel
lectual young Americans, with an ap
petite for joy and a keen eye for the
public good.”
The School Room in Review.
No human document will ever record
the successes and failures, the trage
dies and comedies of the year which
has just closed. Some there were per
haps who entered upon the school with
high hopes for honors. In some in
stances they carried through the pro
gram, while in some others the lure of
entertainment dulled the edges of their
studentry and caused them to end their
school careers only as mediocre stu
dents.
There were others perhaps who
longed for distinction among their fel
low students. Bach society, each ath
letic team, each class directorate
stands as a monument to gigantic po
litical endeavor and blasted political
hopes.
In each unit there was the inevitable
bad boy or girl—the one wdth a pe
culiar genius for harassing the teacher.
Also the lad who, because of his re
tiring nature, was dubbed a "goody
goody,” The davs of agony he spent
are written In fiery scars upon his
heart. Then there was the boy who
wanted to he a good fellow, but who
didn't know how—who would have
given his right arm for the compan
ionship bf hie fellows, but who Invaria
bly found himself an outsider.
No Closing Ceremonies.
Then there was that natural lord
among men—that personality which
was felt and which made its owner a
particular idol. It was he who led the
class rushes, who was the big political
boss at election, who might have been
chosen captain of the baseball team if
he had known how to play, who was
the cynosure of feminine eyes.
Bach day of school recorded a change
of life, a mystic happening, flown Ihe
long row of seats in any school room
sat the future lords and ladies of At
lanta. Georgia or the I’nited States.
Before them lay their books of algebra,
but In many cases their eyes went far
beyond quadratic equations and strove
for the solution of a problem the an
swer to which wasn't in the back of the
book. Radiating from them was the
same love, hate, jealousy, compassion,
sympathy which In a, more accentuated
form was to be seen later in life.
No unusual ceremonies attended the
closing of the schools. At 11 o’clock
the boll rang and the boys and girls
marched out.

TRISDNERS’HDPE
MERELY LUNATIC
Mind of Young Kentuckian Re

To Be Unbalanced.
More than a score of prisoners in the
polite station were given a hard jolt
today when they suddenly found that
Harvey Teamans, a suave and stylishly
dressed young stranger, whom they had
engaged as counsel to tight their bat-

?n who finished the year’s school
ties In court, was merely a prisoner
like themselves and said to be crazed
on the subject of the legal profession.
Among Teamans’ “clients” was one
negro charged with murder. Teamans
had consulted at length with the negro,
giving him much legal advice, and had
agreed to take his case, promising to
save him from the gallows. The al
leged slayer's spirits fell when he was
informed that his “lawyer” was a vic
tim of hallucinations.
Teaman hails from Henderson. Ky.,
and has been stopping in the city's
most fashionable hotels since his ar
rival a few’ days ago. He Is said to owe
one Os these hotels a considerable bill.
He has been arrested twice within a
week, both times on the charge of
•’beating" cab fare. Recorder Pro Tern
Preston dismissed the first case, but
Thursday afternoon fined him $15.75.
Friends of the man said there is no
doubt but that Teamans’ mind is un
balanced. and asked that he be held un
til his people can take him hack to Ken
tucky. His father is now on his way to
Atlanta. Judge Preston agreed to dis
miss the case.
