Dr. W. J. Auten Asks Aid of
Physicians in Fight for Bet
ter Conditions.
Physicians of Atlanta will be enlisted
In the fight started by Dr. \V. J Auten.
334 Hemphill avenue, to remedy the
conditions at the Girls High school,
which he blames foi the death of his
daughter. Edith Marian Auten.
At the same time some promise of
action came in statements from W. R
Daiey. president of the hoard of educa
tion. and Aiderman .James E. Warren,
chairman of the council committee on
schools. both of whom decdaie public
sentiment would not tolerate the exist
ing conditions
Dr. Auten charges that the death of
his daughter. Miss Edfth Marian Auten.
a 1912 graduate <>f the Girls High
school, is directly traceable to the lack
of heating facilities and the fact that
she lost so much time at the school
last winter and had to study late at
night to catch up with her class* s
To Ask Aid of Doctors.
“I am going to see Dr L. <’ Eisher,
who was associated with in* in treat
ing my daughter during her last illness,
and ask him to join me in putting th»
matter before the physicians 1 dislike
to take the part I am taking in this af
fair, but some one has to, ami to no
one else has it been brought so forcibly
as to me and my family.
•'Edith was a splendid student When
a fifteen-year-old girl she won the ea
sa\ prize in a contest in which ths
school children of the entire state weir
competing She went through the full
giammai school grades and never
missed promotion, and she kept that
record when she entered the high
school.
"Pa tif'tila rlv in her last year at the
high school she suffered from th* add
ed work on account of having to lose so
much time when the class would he
dismissed on cold days.
“Edith lost more time from school
during her graduating year,’* added Dr
Auten. "tl .in she had done In het en
tire school course
Her Constitution Weakened.
"When she graduated h* mother was
forced to keen her In bed all day so
that she might appear on the stage to
receive her diploma She did not im
prove her run-down condition this
summer, and when typhoid fever took
her, she had no vitality’ left to fight
All her vitality had been expended a
sacrifice to the blind idiocy and dis
graceful lack of caie which character
izes the treatment Atlanta gives it- girl
pupils
"There is talk today of building a
new school house for the Roys High
school and of building tlv new house*
for the Et.glish-commeri iul depart-I
ment of the Girls High school. Well, i
these are hot!.’ v od plans. Atlanta cei - |
tainly needs- them, but I want to ask
are they going to be built after the
fashion of th* hui ding that killed my
child?
"The conditions umh-r which th* pu
pils at the Girls High school ha\e to
Ftudy are absolutely unbelievable and
n no other citv hut Atlanta would they
he tolerated
"Day after day Edith w ould < «>me
home w ith her feet as cold as blocks of
Ice The senior class had to be dis
missed for as much as a week at a
lime on account vs the terrible cold in
he room, and then these girls had to
study twice as hard to make up this
ost time.
Fears For Other Child.
"What has happened to m\ daughter
who graduated this y ear may happen tn
Esther, my younger daughter, who will
be in the third grade this fall, nr It may
Ilf ppen to the daughters of an\ one of
nVv neighbors. None of them can real
izp it as 1 can. for It has been forcel
upon me.
"Now what I want to ask the physi
cians of Atlanta to do is to go before
the public in a body and tell them just
•xactly what such deplorable conditions
tn the Gi - High school ar> going to
lead to; tell the public something, that
ever) father and mother ought to know
already of the physical make-up »f
girls of high school age. tell them the
certain result of weakening them f
they are forced to stax all day in ’ooms
u here they can not k- ep warm "
President l)ah’\ of th< school board
declared that the sanitary condition of
the school was good, but that the poor
heating system and the general con-j
struction of the building endangered ■
the lives of tin young nomen by bad
colds, pneumonia and -imilai diseases

I “Without regard to the merit of the

Board Asked For Heating Plant.
Mr Daley told how the board of edu

funds for a new heating syatem as an
I Immediate necessity , and urged an en

stoves in the building,” he said.
year it was necessary to dismiss school
on a number of days on account of
inadequate heat. The whole building,
made up of several separate buildings,
is an old trap and should be torn
down."
No appropriation has been made for
a new heating system, and similar con
ditions will obtain next year unless
something is done soon
Aiderman Marten said that there
was no doubt that the condition of the
building is very bad He recalled a
statement made by Miss Nettie Sar

young women contracted pneumofila

"But I don't think there was the
slightest chance for any one to contract
typhoid fever as a result of conditions

the finest physical condition would have
a hard fight with malignant typhoid
fever."

Be a Doer
YOU must have a strong body to do things.
Many lag behind and lose the race when the
goal is in sight, because some vital organ failed
at the crucial moment.
Germs get into your system through impure air,
drinking water, etc. They exhaust vital organs, sap
your strength, and breed most diseases.
