Superintendent Slaton Praises Campaign for Schoolbooks Fund
Superintendent of Schools Slaton Wednesday highly praised the move to raise a fund to provide poor children with schoolbooks and clothing.
“There are many poor children in Atlanta who can not get the benefit of an education. The only way to place helpless children in the public schools is for the public to
subscribe to a fund which will cloths and feed and shelter them and buy their books,” he said
“If these children who can not go to school are permitted to frequent the slums and the pitfalls of city life, society must foot the bill by maintaining courthouses and
officers and jails.
“The effort of The Georgian and The Sunday American to secure money for the poor to get an education is direct protection to every life and every dollar’s worth of
property in the State.
“I heartily commend the enterprise of The Georgian and Sunday American in this noble work, and earnestly urge everyone to help the good cause.”
!>en groins to public school Is de
nied you If you are very poor—as poor
as the families of a certain 250 At
lanta children. About that many boys
and grlrls there are In the city who
win be unable to enter scnool when
the term begins next Monday. There
Is no money at home to buy books and
the necessary clothes.
And that the children may have th£
opportunity they desire and the
chance for the education they covet a
fund Is being raised In Atlanta to pay
the necessary expenses. The appeal
for contributions was first made by
the Associated Charities, and extend
ed to every person In Atlanta.
The need of each child is small,
pitifully small, judged by the general
standards. And yet the dollar or the
lack of it will mean education or
ignorance for most of the 250.
You who read this would smile,
wouldn't you, at the thought of the
very weighty financial transaction
that spending a dollar involves.
May Be Their Only Chance.
But there are ooys and girls who
to-day are crying out their hearts be
cause another day nearer the school
term has c• me and they see no chance
to enter.
Most of the children, according to
the figures of the Associated Chari
ties, are of the age between babyhood
and that doubtful maturity whose
years permit them to work in the
mills. This year only their age keeps
them at home, and to many, then,
this is the one opportunity for even a
smattering of learning, for the bare
three “R’s.”
And because they lack the little
amount for books and clothes, they
must stay at home, facing the pros
pect of illiteracy.
There must be money for books.
A Real Opportunity
Clothes are necessary, too. And to
that end the Associated Charities has
asked for contributions, both of cash
and of clothes.
Fund Already Started.
The Georgian and Sunday Ameri
can, with a contribution of $50, has
headed the list of donations, and will
receive cash contributions from other
sources. All money received will be
sent immediately to the office of the
association.
Gifts of clothes for the poor school
children should be sent to the office of
the Associated Charities, in the Gould
Building on Decatur street, between
Peachtree and Pryor streets.
The school term begins Monday,
and the appeal that has gone out
bears the request that donations of
money or clothes be made immediate
ly, as the time grows short, and there
are many children to care for.
It is estimated that no child will
need more than $10 for books and
clothing together. Many will need no
more than $1.
Sum Needed Is Trivial.
Just a little sum, the price of a
baseball game or two, a box of candy,
a theater ticket. But to 250 children
it means the chance of an education.
Probably to some it is the only chance
The children who feel thus the
pinch of poverty are eager to attend
school, according to Joseph Logan
secretary of the Associated Charities.
None of your indifferent laeeards
are they, but children of spirit who
will make the most of their oppor
tunities, and who will learn, even if
this be their only year at school,
enough of reading, writing and arith
metic to give them a glimmer of the
possibilities of education and of de
velopment that lie beyond. So much
the appeal promises, that the Asso
ciated Charities has sent out to all
Atlanta.
Now and then comes a real opportunity for doing good—an
opportunity so big and so broad that even the worst of us re
gard it a privilege to join in and help.
Just such an opportunity is offered Atlantans by the plea
from the Associated Charities for a fund to buy schoolbooks
for 250 little children of the poor.
Could there be a stronger appeal than is furnished by these
bright-eyed, ambitious young Anglo-Saxons whose thirst for an
education even extreme poverty threatens to destroy?
Could you invest one dollar, five dollars or ten dollars or
even a few cents better than in a contribution to this fund? Not
if you had waited for years.
The Georgian has headed the list with a check for $50. It
will be only a day or two before the sum needed is raised.
Join quickly with your contribution before you lose your best
chance of the year to show that you are a good citizen and one
worth having in such a city as Atlanta.

COMO, ITALY, Sept. 3.—Judge
Charlton, father of Porter Charlton,
the young American wife slayer, said
to-day he believed his son would be
acquitted. Judge Charlton held an
other conference with Signor Mellini
and afterward said that from an
Italian viewpoint, young Charlton's
case appears optimistic.
“I believe my son will be able to
eat his Christmas dinner on United
States soil,” said Judge Charlton.
In his cell in the Jail, Porter Charl
ton busied himself writing poetry,
making entries in his diary and read
ing illustrated magazines. He called
for a Bible when first placed in his
cell, but has since made little use
of it.
Camorrist Defense Studied.
Lawyers employed by the defense
are making a close study of the pro
cedure of the famous Camorrist trials
at Viterbo. In those cases prisoners
were acquitted even in instances
where full proof of guilt was placed
before the court. Provocation and
attacks upon the authenticity of tes
timony played important parts.
The prosecution’s case against
Charlton rests practically upon the
confession and testimony of the de
fendant. No one saw Charlton beat
his wife’s brains out with a hammer
and a statue of ‘‘Love” and hurl her
body into Lake Como. The evidence
upon which he was arrested was cir
cumstantial.
Father Comforts Son,
There are reports that the lawyers
for the defense may question the
right of a court or jury to adjudge
a man in Italy upon a confession
made in another country.
Judge Charlton’s presence is cheer
ing up his son wonderfully.

everything will come out all right, is

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 8.—Witn
the testimony of Warren Doane, offi

Drew Caminetti admitted to him and
Assistant District Attorney Atkinson,
of Sacramento County, that he had

left Sacramento that he would marry
her, the Government closed Its case
in the United States Court to-day.
“In the train on the way back from
Reno,” testified Roane, “Caminetti ad
mitted that he had promised Miss
Norris that he would marry her
Caminetti said he had told her there
was trouble between him and his wife
and If she, Lola Norris, would go with
him to Reno he would get a divorce
and marry her.'*
Doane was the last witness called
by the Government in Its suit against
Caminetti under the Mann white
slave law. His testimony was a sur
prise to the defense.

This thing of why women wear the
things they do, which has been dis
cussed and otherwise for several cen
turies, had some new light shed on
it Wednesday morning, when Mrs.
Den McGrath—Miss Bertha Yeoman
professionally—arrived in Atlanta
with her husband to open the season
at the Atlanta Theater to-night in
the musical gambol, “Mary’s Lamb.’’
Mrs. McGrath did not denounce the
slit skirt, the X-ray or other favorite
sermon topics; neither did she in
dorse them. They do not concern
her, she says, “because if they are
the fashion, a woman must Weir
them. She must keep up with the
fashions whether she wants to or
not.”
“Color Is but the emblem of
thought,” Mrs. McGrath said.
“If a woman is downcast and un
happy she will probably wear green,
which to me means sorrow. Red al
ways signifies coquettry, and a wo
man who wears that color is very
apt to be in a flirtatious and vivacious
mood. Blue is the emblem of purity
and innocence, even more so than
white, I think. White always makes
me think of something soft and beau
tiful and lovable. Purple I always
associate with a mind of great bril
liance, and nine women out of ten
w’ho wear purple you will find are
women of unusual intellect and tal
ent. But yellow' and brown are the
most beautiful of colors. Whenever
I am particularly happy I always
wear either yellow or brown, though
I think yellow expresses greater
happiness than brown.
“Though the average woman prob
ably does not know it, the color of
her dress determines her mood. As
tho mood changes, »f> does the color
of the dress.
“Take my own case/ for Instance.
I have to be In different moods in
different acts of ‘Mary’s Lamb’ and
I can not attain the desired state
of mind unless I wear gowns of a
certain color.
“In the first act I must be a dash
ing adventuress, gay and vivacious,
and I wear a gown of a reddish-
violet color, because that color har
monizes with the necessary mood;
the color makes me feel exactly right
for the part.
“In the second act I am supposed
to meet my old sweetheart and am
very happy. Hence I wear a brown
or a yellow gown. Brown and yel
low are my favorite colors, and the
mere wearing of them makes me hap
py.
‘In the third act I become intent
on obtaining revenge and if I didn't
wear something with a dash of red in
it I could never approach the proper
state of-mind. If I wore a dress "f
another color the act would he ruined,
because I could not put my heart m
nv work. In this act 1 wear a cerlss
and black gown, with a slit skirt—a
very gilt &kiru”
