OY DRAWING BAN
I
Clubs to Join in Fight on Abol
ishment of Training Courses
in Atlanta Schools.
I
I’hat the Alianta women's clubs will
fight the proposed abolition of drawing
courses in public schools was made
' evident today. A number of the lead
ers have declared themselves against
the action being considered by the
board of education, and formal protests
against it are expected at the next
meeting of the clubs.
Mrs. W. Woods White, formerly pres
ident of the City Federation of Wom
ans Clubs, and one of the most active
club women of the city, expressed in
no uncertain words her indignation at
the move.
“I can't express my opinion of the
school board, for I live in Atlanta,” she
said. “Drawing is the most utilitarian
art possible to provide for school chil
dren, and I am extremely sorry that;
this move should be made by the school
bodrd. I suppose they consider it very
unimportant, if not entirely valueless,
though they are about the only persons
in Atlanta who do so.
“We could more readily dispense
with music and a number of other
courses being given by the public schools
than we could with drawing.
“The club women of Atlanta are
\ going to protest against the action of
the officials in no uncertain terms, and
before we are through something will
be done.
“As for the school board, I think it
could be very easily improved. If it
were the methods now being enforced
generally in the schools would change
considerably.”
Mrs. Oxford To Aid Fight.
Mrs. J. E. Oxford, of 310 Hemphill
avenue, member of the board of women
visitors of the public schools, declared
she will join in the fight to force the
board of education to restore the teach
ing of drawing in them.
“Drawing is such a necessity to every
day life I can but wonder at it being
eliminated from the public school
course,” she said, “and I heartily in
dorse and will aid the movement be
gun to have it reinstated.
' “There are many children attending
the schools who will never have a
chance to obtain higher education, and
mho will probably have to depend on
drawings in some form to make a live
lihood. The course is absolutely essen-
. ' tial. I am glad to see the women <jf
Atlanta taking such active steps to
have it continued.”
J. W. Grant Opposed.
Among tb.e prominent men in Atlan
ta who opposed the proposed move was
John W. Grant.
"Drawing and manual training are
especially desirable and ate one of the
most practical courses of the schools,”
he said. “There are many’ boys and
girls in the city who may receive great
benefit from the course, and if, they are
discontinued it will mean a loss to the
city.
"I became convinced lonf ago that
these things should be taught in every
public school, and think it would be
very unwise to take the course from
our schools in Atlanta.”
CIGARETTE LAW OF
TENNESSEE DEFIED
BY A PRESS AGENT
( T. S. Linwood, who put on the Kir
mess in Atlanta, won considerable pub
licity in Nashville this week by his an
nouncement that cigarettes would be
smoked on the stage by the ladles and
gentlemen taking part in the produc
tion. As cigarettes are strictly out
lawed In Nashville by state law, legal
authorities and the mothers of the hun
dred children who took part in the Kir
mess became indignant.
It was declared by officers of the state
humane commission that Linwood and
other members of the Kirmess would
be arrested the moment the first cig
arette was lighted. Linwood positively
refused to abandon his plans.
“We have a Carmen scene,” he said.
“Can you imagine a Carmen without fi
cigarette? You might as well have a
Salome in overalls.”
But when the curtain fell on the first
night’sM> er), o rniance not a cigarette was
visible, and no arrests had been made.
But the gate receipts had been fully up
to expectations.
> Japanese lepers
ON STRIKE; WANT
1 CENT MORE DAY
t A
TOKIO, June B.—Japan, like the rest
of the world, is suffering from an epi
demic of strikes. The latest takes the
unusual form of a strike of lepers.
Recently the inmates at the Kame
yama hospital, which was founded and
is conducted by a society’ of French
monks, demanded an increase in their
pocket money allowance to one cent a
day, and on the refusal of the father
superintendent they struck work and
over a hundred escaped from the hos
pital by climbing over the wall. They
wehe subsequently recaptured by the
local police, and conducted to the care
of the monks.

TABERNACLE TO
ENOS TOMORROW
Dr. MacArthur to Announce His
Plans in Sermon—Continues
to Remain Silent.
Peace between the factions of ’the
Baptist Tabernacle is now assured; and
Dr. Robert S. MacArthur _ most likely
will remain as its pastor. The commit
tee of six. three from each faction, has
agreed unanimously on the future pol
icy of the church, and the matter will
be submitted to the congregation at
the morning service Sunday. The har
mony of the committee assures the ac
ceptance of its conclusion by the con
gregation. and next week’the church is
expected to be working again harmo
niously.
One of the prominent Baptists who
has been working for harmony said to
day:
"The matter is now in course of ad
justment. and everything will be har
mony again after the congregation
passes upon the committee's conclusion
Sunday morning. This committee, com
posed of three members from both sides
of the dispute, has drafted a paper re
citing all the facts which led up to the
trouble, and then outlining the policy of
the church for its future work: and
this policy is about the same as that
upon which the church has been work
ing all the time. This report was adopt
ed by a unanimous vote, which assures
its Anal acceptance by the congrega
tion.
“The matter now will have to go be
fore the official board of the church,
which meets between now and Sunday.
After that body passes upon it. then
it is jtp to the congregation.
Says MacArthur Will Stay.
"I have no Idea that Dr. MacArthur
will refuse to accede to the wishes of
the congregation and remain as its pas
tor. He has made great sacrifices for
the welfare of the Tabernacle, and his
whole life is now wrapped up in its
work.
"A more equitable bails for distribu
tion of the financial burdens of the
church has been determined upon. In
the past a few have borne a heavy
financial burden for the church, but
with the acceptance “of the commit
tee's report this burden w'ill be more
widely distributed, and in that way the
church debt will not be such an in
cumbrance.”
Pastor Still Silent.
Dr. MacArthur would give out no
statement when seen by a reporter from
The Georgian today declaring that he
had adopted a policy not to talk of the
affair and that when he went before the
congregation after its action tomorrow
morning he would probably make a
statement then.
What Dr. MacArthur will say is look
ed forward to with interest. The com
mittee’s unanimous report will be read
Sunday morning and will probably be
accepted without a dissenting vote.
Then Dr. MacArthur Is expected to
make his statement telling his flock of
his determination to remain as its pas
tor.

Education Board Head Calls
G. H. S. Building Unworthy
of Pupils Who Go There.
It’s vacation time today for 132 sweet
girl graduates-of the high school.
“We must outlive the narrow and
antiquated sentiment of woman’s low
Standing- professionally. When women
do the same high-class work that men
do they should be paid equally well. '
said Colonel Walter R. Daley, presi
dent of the board of education, in de
livering diplomas to the graduates.
' The teachers in the city high schools
should be paid upon a basis of merit
and not of sex. I advocate an imme
diate readjustment Os scale of sal
ary, one that shall be fair to the teach
er who is doing the work and I intend
to work for this Sts long as I am con
nected with the board of education or
have any influence at all in school af
fairs.
“Today the faculty of the Girls High
school is receiving a most inadequate
compensation. The work they do in
educating the young women of Atlanta
is certainly as hard and certainly as
important as that done by the male
teachers in the Boys High school, and
yet because the faculty of the Girls
High school is composed of women they
receive an average salary far below
that of teachers .in, the Boys High
school, who are men
Urges New Building For Girls.
“The present building in which the
young women of Atlanta are educated
is a.monstrosity and I advocate an im
mediate issue of bonds for schools alone
so that we may house these girls in a
building that will be worthy Os the pu
pils it contains.”
The leading feature of the program
was the class march, which closed the
exercises. Led by Misses Bessie Levy,
Allie Ramsaur, Grace Angier, Ruth
Miller, Marie Vining and Minnie Hay
good, the 132 girls performed one of
the most beautiful amateur drills ever
seen in Atlanta.

BOSTON L STRIKE
Second Day of Tie-Up Marks
Seventy-nine Arrests and
Heavy Damage.
BOSTON. June B.—The first shots
were fired today in the elevated rail
way strike. A policeman had a nar
row escape from death when some one
fired at a smoking car of an elevated
train with a rifle, in Cambridge a
mob gathered, threatening to wreck
property, and the police had to fire sev
eral volleys in order to disperse the
men. The weapons were aimed high,
and no one was hit.
Several lines resumed at 6 o’clock,
after a tie-up which had existed from
midnight. For hours before that time
the service had been badly crippled or
absolutely stopped in many districts.
I nion leaders declared that 500 new
men had joined their forces since they
quit work.
Nine taxicabs were ordered to come
to the office of the elevated company
early today. When they arrived, the
chauffeurs found they were expected to
carry food and coffee to workmen at
different car barns. They refused to do
so, and drove their machines back to
the garage.
Policemen Ride Cars.
There have been <9 arrests in the
strike, and damage estimated at many
thousands of dollars has been done to
elevated running stock. Several per
sons have been seriously hurt and
many slightly injured.
The cars were taken off during the
night, to allow the police a chance to
rest up from their work as guards.
The cars that ran early today were in
charge of the oldest employees of the
road, and a patrolman rode on every
tar.
Passengers who were forced to walk
part way home after paving their fares
on cars yesterday were told to report
to elevated headquarters today and get
their money back.
The girl members of the New Boston
Telephone Operators union walked to
work today to show their support of
the union men and gave the money
saved to the fjind to aid the Roxbury
textile strikers

MISSING PASTOR
STILLMYSTERY
Inquiries at Kansas City for
Rev. Mr. Dean Unavailing.
Wife Prostrated.
ELBERTON. GA., June B. Not a
trace of the missing Rev. Samuel C.
Dean, pastor of the First Baptist
i hutch of Elberton, has been found by’
the officers of the church, who have in
stituted a nation-wide search for him.
-Nothing to indicate what may’ have be
eombKof him when he mysteriously dis
appeared in Kansas t’ity last week has
been heard in reply to telegrams sent
to Baptists, Masons and police officers
in that city. Neither has any clew
been found in reply to telegraphic in
quires sent to Los Angeles and other
Western cities, although word has been
received from the Pacific city that the
police there are endeavoring to locate
him.
In the meantime the condition of
Mrs. Dean, the minister's wife, who is
prostrated at his strange disappear
ance. is considered serious. She is at
the church parsonage under the care of
a physician and members of the church.
The Elberton Baptists are seeing that
she is provided with every needed at
tention and are providing for the ex
penses of het home. They say they
will continue to do this until it is as
! certained what has become of her hus-
I band.' Her widowed mother at Knox
ville, Tenn., is not physically able at
this time to come to her daughter.
No action will be taken by the dea
cons of the church on Mr. Dani's resig
nation until next Wednesday. By th.*’
time it is hoped to have some informa
tion concerning his whereabouts and
condition.
Masons Take Up
Hunt in Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, MO.. June B.—John
T. Hardin, head of the Masons of Kan
sas City, has started a searching in
quiry throughout this section for the
missing Rev. Samuel C. Dean, a Bap
tist minister of Elberton, Ga.. who dis
appeared here last week. He hopes to
secure some trace of him and this in
formation will be communicated to
friends in Georgia. The Baptist min
isters of this city are also making n
vestigations through the churches of
the city and territory. Thus far, how
ever, there has been no development
that would give a clew as to his where
abouts.
ITALIAN OFFICERS .
SET FASHION FOR
AMERICAN WOMEN
ROME. June 8. —About every Ameri
can woman in Rome is trying to get
one of the blue capes which the Italian
army officers wear.
These capes are made of dark or
light blue cloth, cut in the shape of a
circle without sleeves, and are practi
cally identical with opera cloaks. They
ate very simple and are decorated with
two silver stars on the collar, and are
trsrn over the shoulders and held in
place by means of a silver clasp and
chain.
They threaten to become very fash
ionable in America, for no well dressed
American woman who visits Rome
dreams of returning home without one
or more.
