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."

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.

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. HORSE THROWS SAXON KING. DRESDEN.

TRISDNERS’HDPE MERELY LUNATIC Mind of Young Kentuckian Re tained as Counsel Declared 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- l/ V ’ ■s. < y w Mfe- ' f•••• ‘' T I ’ I / K ">F7 'JI wflgu MJ? I - ■j s ill Hl 'J':-- ?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.

Judge Preston agreed to dis miss the case. FIREMEN OF GEORGIA WILL DISCUSS MQTOREQUIPMENT SAVANNAH.
