16 SLATON SCHOOLS' CRITICS: Calls Charges Made at Medical I Meeting Unjust and Groundless. William M. Slaton, superintendent of schools, came out today with a vig orous defense of the public school sys tem following the attack on it last night at a meeting of the Fulton Coun ty Medical association at the Carnegie library. Answering the charge that “the entire public school fabric of Atlanta should be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. and that gross favoritism and discrimination are shown in the cases of certain children," Superintend ent Slaton declared: “It is inconceivable how an intelli gent man could give utterance to such sentiments, and I forbear to attempt to answer such charges, so unjust and un founded.” Defends Teachers' Discipline. Replying to the charge that “it is criminal to make a child sit tn one position and not be allowed to turn its head,” he asserted: "There is no teach er in the public schools of Atlanta who has sffwlittle sense as to require a con-i dltion like that.” "That is a wholesale indictment,” de clared the superintendent of the cbnrgw that a strong policeman or member of the board could not stand the strain to which children daily are submitted. “I wish the person who made it would point out any radical and ridiculous condition like that,” he added. "Such a situation is entirely opposed to the wishes of the superintendent and the ■board of education." That the schools are keeping up a system “fitted to the heathen in his darkness." said Superintendent Slaton, "Is simply an unfounded indictment and too radical to be taken seriously. “The statement that the Atlanta school teacher’s position depends on her ability to successfully destroy the nervous system of the pupils,” lie con tinued. "is too absurd to deserve an an swer. Os course, the teachers are re quired to discipline the children 1n or der to teach them.” Tells of Recess Periods. Superintendent Slaton takes up other charges as follows: "In -4.000 school children it is very likely that there are many anaemic children, for whom the city lias made no other Institutional provision than the public schools. If such children are not well fed or be come nervous at home, the school sys tem is not to blame. The schools take care that the children srttall have suffl ,«-:lent rest and recreation. There are Three recesses during the day. The first is 15 minutes between 8:30 and 11 a. m. for grades through the fourth. The big recess for the entire school 1s 11 to 11:30, and another llttld recess between 11:30 and 2 p. m. is for pri mary classes up through the fourth grade. "I have one criticism of the school system myself. One feature should come in for the severest condemnation at the hands of the medical societies and all intelligent men gnd women. This is of the surface closets which are inspected only twice a week Instead of once a day, as they should be. The board of education and I have done our best to have thi« corrected, but without avail so far.” REV. E. D. ELLENWOOD AND CONGREGATION CELEBRATE Rev. E. Dean Ellenwood, pastor of the First Unlversallst church, tomorrow will celebrate the seventh year of his pastorate In Atlanta. A sermon containing a resume of the church’s progress will be preached by Mr. Ellenwood. The forward strides of the church under his pastorate have been gratifying, and it is expected that the congregation make the service of a congratulatory nature. About a year ago Mr. Ellenwood re ceived a call to a Universal!®! church near Chicago, and was inclined to ac- Vtept, but a mass mevling of his con gregation and many citizens of other denominations protested and he decided to stay. A few days later, at a meeting of the board of trustees, Mr. Ellenwood'e salary was raised. The following Sun day he refused to accept the raise, say ing the church needed it. and he could get along without It. NO SALOONS IN OR NEAR new red Light district MACON. GA., Nov 30.——The city council is going to stringently regulate the new restricted district of Macon, effective on January 1. Notice has been given that licenses will not be issued for saloons either in or near the dis trict. which now lies on the edge of the limits and a half mile from a single white residence. Orders have also been issued which prohibit the women from going into any theater or from riding in vehicles, unless on the way to the de pot. Mayor Moore and the aldermen take the position that this method of regulation is better than abolition OVER $1,000,000 SAVED > BY DEPORTING DETECTIVES M ALBANY, N. 1. —Nov. 30.—The state ; a , hospital commission reports that New fhi Tork sav,d ° ver a million dollars in a tat T*® r bv 3.993 defective per lon,* on '“- •ease ~ ---ANCY AIGRETTES MERELY ■ jOOSTER TAILS.

IBMHHOMORS DEPRESS COTTON - - Limited Sales Well Absorbed. 1 Ring and Other Interests j Liquidate Holdings. NEW York, Nov 30. Weakness in! Liverpool cables resulted in the cotton market here opening quiet, with first first prices showing a net decline of 8 to 14 points from yesterday’s final. The . selling was of a general character, with the ring crowd leading sellers, while the buying was moderate, but scattered. After the call the market was Inactive, with prices sagging around the initial • figures. 1 It was rumored this morning that the • government’s ginning report would con ! tain larger figures than anticipated, which caused further heaviness in the first trading. The most depressing sac- • tor that prevailed over the market was ; the selling by the I’ell interests. It was i rumored this interest was short and was advising friends to sell. The selling after the '-all continued heavy, resulting in II further decline 5 to 6 points In most . active months. Heavy selling by the , ring crowd was soon checked when the ■ big bull leaders, who were not in evi dence early, stepped into the market and became aggressive. Among the best buy ers were the larger spot interests. This aggressive movement rallied prices some 9 to 11 points better than the early range. Better war news from abroad and ru , mors that National Glnners of Memphis . were Somewhat bearish encouraged the ; bears. However, most conservative oper ators were cautious in their trading. At the close the market was steady, with prices showing a net decline of 7 to ■ 21 points below the final quotation's o! , Friday.

Opening trades here were at a decline of 7 to 10 points tn sympathy with the lower Liverpool and a low opening in New York. The demand was ample to absorb offerings and no pressure to sell. The easiness is generally regarded as the usual week-end rinale of an active bull week, although allusions are made in New- York gossip to a desire on the part of the leaders to push the market a little before bureau day. The Tlnies-Democrat’s estimate of the crop Monday is expected to favor bullish views. Memphis denied yesterday’s na tional glnners rumor of 11,800.000 ginned to December 1 Tho New York Journal of Commerce says: “.Two of the oldest and best man aged cotton mills in New England have failed to earn their last dividend. Five mills In Fall River have passed their dividend and fourteen reduced their rate. > An advance of 37(4 points in French rentes suggests improvement In the po litical situation ami strengthened prevail ing bullish views for next week, which will see markets engaged In preparation for government estimate.
