SIMPLE DRAWING COURSE FAVORED Newspaper Artists Tell School Board Pupils Had Best Be gin at the Bottom. hether the artistic temperament of Atlanta's school children should be de veloped along lines which will enable the students to draw a faithful likeness nt an Irish potato or whether the course of study should be devoted to the de velopment of embryonic Rembiandts is • question now being pondered by the art committee of the Atlanta school boa rd The committee has not been satis fied with the progress along artistic lines made by the drawing classes, it was decided to change the course of in struction this year. Accordingly pro posals were asked in drawing courses. A flock of school book publishers sub mitted their series of drawing books and methods. James L. Key. E. V. Carter and Dan Green, the members of the committee, were in a quandary. They called in ex pert advice and asked for a report on rhe various publications by members of the art departments of three Atlanta newspapers. The newspaper artists unanimously agreed on the simplest of the series of drawing books. "A child will have to earn to draw a potato before he can draw a Rembrandt," was their report in submitting their recommendations. Members of the committee did not adopt their suggestion at once. They paused to consider. More complicated, but perhaps more interesting, series had appealed to them. At a meeting to be called this week it will be finally decided whether the children will grow up to have the op portunity of becoming old masters through their first training or will have to approach the position by' easy stages.

Aug. 20.—Nero, an East African elephant, owned by a Wild West show company, ran amuck today and .for two hours had his own way in the usually quiet streets of Englewood, a suburb.

But lx the meantime he had made things live ly. Nero's escapades began about 3 a. m. His keepers say he was angry because they didn't get up and take him a drink of water when he trumpetd for it. A few minutes later they heard him snap his chains and thump out into the night. First. Nero spied a shed in which the city stored oil and street lamps. Others have agreed with Nero that it Was unsightly. The elephant believed in "direct action." There are now a AUTO ONCE OWNED BY JACK JOHNSON HIT BY CAR; 3 BADLY INJURED CHICAGO.

CARE OF THE TEETH ’IMPORTANT TO HEALTH Without perfect teeth one can not enjoy perfect health. Decaved or im perfect teeth are not only painful and continuously annoying, but a positive menace to hearth and even life. Do not neglect your teeth. I'pon the first sign of decay have them treated and save suffering. Or, if the teeth are already in bad condition, have them at tended to at once. The modern scientific painless meth ods in use by the Atlanta Dental Par lors rob dentistry of its former terrors, and the most difficult operations are performed quickly and without pain.
