■ women mom 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. HA D PYTOGETHER 66 YEARS: NEVER A CROSS WORD SAID NEWARK, DEL..

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. AT 104 SAYS SHE IS ‘•TOO YOUNG TO DIE” NEW LONDON, CONN., June B.

JUNE 8, 1912. 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.

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.

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.
