B. 11. S. ALUMNI DEFEND SMITH Graduates in Other Years Call 1912 Class, Which Criticised Professor. “ Childish.” Alumni of the Boys High school came to 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 in criticising him for hav ing charged 50 cents to engrave each name on a diploma. The graduating classes from 1906 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 mad'- out of it. Each boy 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 lie 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.’’ UNCLE JOE CANNON CHOOSES ELECTRIC OF COLONIAL STYLE Still another celebrity—a connoisseur —has chosen the Elanders electric from among all the rest.

Several will go forth to conquer nr to die, while the remainder will content themselves with three monjhs of life beside a flawing stream or In the back pastures with a’ battered baseball. “It has been tyi unusual session." said Superintendent William M.

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 wexe others perhaps who longed for distinction among their fel low students. Each 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 with 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 sears upon his heart. Then there was the boy who wanted to be a good fellow, but who didn't know how—who would have given hls right arm for the compan ionship of his 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. Flach day of school recorded a change of life, a mystic happening. Down the long row of seats in any school room sat the future lords and ladles 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 bell rang and the boys and girls marched out. HORSE THROWS SAXON KING. DRESDEN.

PRISONERS’ HOPE MERELY LUNATIC Mind of Young Kentuckian Re tained as Counsel Declared To Be Unbalanced. More than a score of prisoners in the police station were given a hard jolt today when they suddenly found that Harvey Yeamans, a suave and stylishly dressed young stranger, whom they had engaged as counsel to fight their bat- \ /7 t' n / ’■ . 'W \V " .afe, ' J I I ' t r' / / 7 Jill Tv' ties in court, was merely a prisoner like themselves and said to be crazed on the subject of the legal profession. Among Yeamans’ "clients” was one negro charged with murder. Yeamans 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 of 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. F'riepds of the man said, there. Is no doubt but that Yeamans' balanced. and asked that he be held un til his people can take him back to Ken tucky. His father is now on his way to Atlanta. Judge Preston agreed to dis miss the case. FIREMEN OF GEORGIA WILL DISCUSS MOTOR EQUIPMENT SAVANNAH.
