More Transfers Necessary to
Relieve Overcrowding—Tech
High Quarters Inadequate.
With the buildings taxed to .the ut
most capacity by the largest opening
attendance in the history of the city,
but little confusion marked today s
sessions of the Atlanta public schools.
The machinery of school system
worked smoothly during the opening
hours, and except for crowding in mi
nor instance, due to faulty apportion
ment. today found pupils settled into
the daily routine.
Official figures at the office of the su
perintendent of schools show the first
day’s attendance to have been 20,337,
exclusive of the C?lenn Street white
school, the ' Virginia Avenue negro
school and the four night schools. Ac
cording to Superintendent W. M. Sla
ton, the opening attendance means 23.- ,
000 pupils for Atlanta schools for the
year of 1912-1913.
The matter of transfers, which has
caused crowding in some instances, will
be settled this afternoon at a meeting
of principals held in the superintend
ent's office. It will be necessary to ,
call a board meeting to arrange addi
tional quarters for the students of the
Boys Technological High school in Ma
rietta street Yesterday’s attendance ,
was a distinct surprise and the quar
ters provided by th. board were found ,
to be inadequate.
Dr. Robert G. Stephens, chief medi- ,
cal inspector, today will begin exam
ining pupils said to have gained en- .
trance wit the vaccination certificates |
which do not comply with the law. All
children not properly vaccinated will be
dismissed.
Superintendent Slaton said that the ,
board was in need of eight supernu- ,
merary teachers at once. A cotnpe- (
tent instructor for the deaf and dumb .
department, which is to be established j
at the Ashby Street school, also is
sought.

important in the history of the or
ganization Many of the delegates came
with resolutions for reforms in the
American banking system and the
monetary system of the nation
However, all the resolutions were not
confined tn these two topics, as Wil

seekers of the meeting next year. One
hundred bankers from the Huh are here

tion’s constitution was launched by A

SOCIETY WOMAN POOR
INSURANCE RISK; DRINK
TOO MUCH AND OVEREAT
The married woman ‘in society’ is
one of the worst risks in life insurance.
She eats ten much, drinks too much,
keeps too late houis and makes her
life a burden by’ social worries. She is
i worse risk than the department -tori
girl who stands on her feet all day—
and thesi saleswomen usually either
marry or die young."
Dr. E. J. Spratling, head of the med
ical department of the Empire Life In
surance Company, made this statement
today. Dr. Spratling has just returned
from the American life insurance con
vention in Chicago, where he delivered
an address on "Women as Insurance .
Risks."
“Among housewives the orthodox
Jewish woman in middle age is tin
best. She is inherently and religiously]
clean: she takes h< . religion naturally |
and doesn’t worry over it. The middle
class housewife 7 among the Christian.-.!
while not so good a risk as among the
Jewish women, is fair ami ranks with
the better class of working girl.’’
Women are not sue.! dangerous risks I
as is generally supposed, according to
D Spratling. He has been appointed, i
chairman of the association’s medical 1
examination committee and more com
plete statistics on the various ela-ses of I
risks will be compiled by this depart
ment.
Wary of Policies For Husbands.
"While not all of the confreres agreed '
with me." says Dr. Spratling. “my con
clusion is that a woman is a very good
moral risk, especially when she Insures .-
her life for her minor
"Do you know that life insurance '
companies gu very slow in insuring a 1
woman when the application is taken 1
out with her husband as the benefi- 1
clary? It may be a startling thing, but 1
numbers of men will insure their wives '•
when they see them bi gin to get in bad ,
health. So when the application of the I
woman stat, s that the policy is to be
made out in favor of her husband un
make a very careful examination be
fore we accept her." ,
In dis, iis-ing the vat ious risks amo»g ,
women, the conclusion was reached i
that the milliner Is the best risk among 1
women applicants and the rich married 1
woman, especially during the first five ]
years of her married life, the very
poorest, except for factory hands, house i
servants and the povei ty-stricken hou.s, i
wives of the large cities.
"The work of a mtlllne- is among ’
pleasant surroundings, her hours aie
regular, and then there is enough art in
her work to keep her in the right, frame
of mind," is D-. Spratling’s explanation
of this conclusion.
Chorus Girl Bad Risk.
"Lift can not be long if it is sordid J
in thought or surroundings, and th- )
art in the milliner's work keeps her in- i
terest going, but it isn’t enough to giv
her temperament, which usually means
’nerv.-s' ami a desire fu. late hours and
high living.
"I neglected to mention two other
<>< -libations in which tin women iank
as exceedingly pool- risks. ;-nd they ar
the trained nurse and the chorus girl.
The chorus girl, of course, lives to ex
cess; the <-ats too much lobster ami
drinks ton much wine and keeps worse
hours than the woman in high - urii-iy,
and then doesn't sleep as much.
"The occupation of a trained nuisc is
on< of the most dangerous there is so
a woman, on account of the long houi
the mental worry, tin- unhealthful sui
toundings and the hai 1 phy.-i -a! work
Women of Middle Classes Good.
Psychqlogii-al and physical qu I
lions enter Into the discussion of wha' i
is tiie best risk in insurance. Th* '
woman who is ;lii head of a family in
the middle classes usu.ill- feels certain
licit her children will have enough to
-at and tint her husband's salary is
baying the rent and leaving a little io
lie put aside for a rainy dy She may
have to do the house work and cooking,
but she hasn’t enough money to allow
her to ’do society,' and as a r» suit tic: 1
life is lengthen, d.
Her amusements ar, simple and not
too many, and tin- loving can- of her
children and simple joy- with them
keep her thoughts fresh and pur,-. A.fti-r
five years of married life this so; t of n '
woman is regarded as a very good risk
in the lower classes where the
smuggle for if.- is constantly before
her mind and when- often hei food is
insufficient and sue do .n't get the
medical attention she ought to have,
the married woman is a very pool- risk
and we hesitate to tai-., her: in fact,
very f. w of tliis class apply for insur
ance."
