CHOIR IS SCORED] EDR NIISBEHAVIOR Churchgoer Declares Conduct of Singers Spoils Effective ness of Sermons. Choir members trifling during the ■ sermon of the pastor of a prominent ■ Atlanta Methodist church caused a > traveling man and worshipper in the • church to declare in a letter to The i Georgian that they were guilty of noth i ing less than disrespect to the minister. And in the communication the visitor, who signs bis name “The Stranger . Within the Gales.” declares that the ! incident spoiled the sotemnity of the , sei vice. > Prominent churchgoers. when seen, were divided in their opinion as to thef I general behavior of choirs in Atlanta. Here is the letter to The Georgian: , Editor The Georgian: It was my good fortune to spend last Sunday in your beautiful. . prosperous city. It is a “revela tion” to a Northern man to visit . Atlanta, the “Chicago of the South land.” I do not believe there is another city In the country of its size that can show the same num , ber of autos. Prosperity is appar- > ent on every hand, and every Northern man will rejoice at At- i lanta’s prosperity. ’ On the evening of last Sunday I attended service in one of your , great Methodist churches. The ■ pastor was cultured, eloquent, ' earnest. But 1 was pained to see the disrespect of the members of the choir. At the close of prelimi nary services to the sermon two of the singers left the choir. The or- : ganist and two members of the quartet remained. Just at a point when the pastor was striving hard to press home great truths to his congregation, ■ 'one of the quartet (a worn tn), who had been bolding a lively whispered I I conversation with the organist. ilso a woman, threw a handker- I chief ovei her face and rushed out THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

The organist* then turned her at tention to the only remaining mem ber of the choir, a gentleman, who plainly did not enjoy her attentions, and kept up her whispering and smiling, even through the prayer following the se' mon. It was painful—-truly it Was. I was surprised to see it in the South, where. I have always been told, that the very highest refln- im nt prevails. It certainly negatives th, splendid efforts of the earnest, cul tured pastor of that great church. TH E STRA NG ER XVI I HIN Tlll-1 ‘ GATES. POLICE MUST BE POLITE.

Pupils of Miss Woodberry’s School En ter Into Sport Enthusiastically and Expert Players Are Developed. Basket ball was made tor girls. Men think they play the game, but they are just as far from the true spirit of the sport as prize fighting is from tiddle dewlnks. Ask any of the pupils at Miss Woodberry's school and they will teli you that the game is as distinctly fem inine as hair ribbons. The girls at Miss Woodbury's school have entered into the game enthusias tically- this year. Their practices are spirited and their play is rapidly ap proaching perfection. It is pointed out that the true game of basketball depends solely on speed, grace and accuracy, and these things the girls are able to master. The men players have never grasped the real meaning of the game. They have never | Some Growing Children I K are under size—under weight.

Ami the wonderful thing about a girls' basket ball game is that she has all the acc uracy, sometimes more, than the m in in throwing goals. The basket ball is thrown always with the peculiar overhand motion that always distin guishes the woman's throw from the man's. Boys have to learn to throw ail over again when they take up basket ball. It js natural to the girls. On this account, while the girls could never compete with a male team, on account of the roughness, they are nev ertheless probably’ playing a more fin ished product of the spelt. 3
