Atlanta's big heart will need not
much of softening to Insure a re
sponse to the appeal from Its poor
children. In the very fact that 250
boy» and Kiris are kept from public
school and from a chance for edu
cation because of their poverty there
is enough of heartthrobs and senti
ment to awaken the coldest to a ready
giving.
School opens Monday, and your
children, bright-faced, magnified in
your eyes to the stature of future
Presidents and statesmen, are going
there, laughing, willing, eager. Put
there are 250 boys and girls like yours,
possible Presidents and wives or
mothers of Presidents, Just like yours,
who are going to stay at home and
run in the streets and grow up with
out even the three “It's” unless you
hein them.
There are 250 boys and girls like
little Willie Watson, whose mother is
a widow and must woTk in the mills,
and to whom the public school seems
a very desirable and unattainable
thing just now. The school term
opens in three days, and the fund is
not a tenth, not a twentieth, of what
is should be.
Last Chance for Education.
To most of the children of the un
fortunate 250 (he failure of contribu
tions would mean probably the failure
of a last chance to get an education.
Many of them are of that age when
another year will make them eligible
for employment in the mills and fac
tories, and next year they will enter
the army of the wrokers.
Then there will be no time for
schooling. Then they will grow old
early, practically illiterates. Then
they will enter upon a life of work in
which no hope of succors presents
itself, for the unlettered man and
woman has no part in the world ex
cept as a beast of burden.
And even this year, out of school,
they will become children of the
street, susceptible to the influences o'
the street, probably fruitful fields for
a crop of evil habits.
But apart from the latent possibil
ities there are the children them
selves. Most of the 250 boys and girls
of ages between 8 and 9 years to 14
are healthy, brieht-eyede young per
sons. capable of real effort. None of
them, according to the records. ar?
what the eugeulc sharks would call
the “unfit” The very fact that tho
children themselves are eager to go to
school, to learn something that will
enable them to grow' up men and
women different from most of the
listless workers around them, mnkes
them out as worthy of Atlanta’s help.
Appeal to Real Americans.
*‘Th© greatest contributions to sci
ence, art and civilization have come

CONVICTS ESCAPE
STRIPES IF GOOD
The Georgia Prison Commission
will issue an order Thursday remov
ing the stripes from all convicts ex
cept those of the lowest grade, follow
ing a decision reached Wednesday
afternoon. This action Is in line with
recent legislation.
The new plan carries provision for
three grades of convicts according to
conduct, the uniform of each prison
er establishing his grade. Only the
lowest grade will wear stripes.
Discussing the change Thursday.
Judge Patterson, of the commission,
said the new system would be a
strong stimulant to the convict to
win reward by good conduct. The
plan, he said, should solve the prob
lem of maintaining good order and
uid in establishing real reform add in
preventing escapes.
When a prisoner finds he will have
more to gain by obedience than by
trying to get away, he said, he will
try harder to win his release legiti
mately.

‘Rules Strict,’ Says Superinten
dent Slaton—Office Thronged
—by Pupils and Parents.
"Vaccination Is a most important
factor in protecting the health of
school children, and our rules In thLsi
connection are most rigid,” said Su
perintendent W. M. Slaton, of the
Atlanta public schools, Thursday. "As
a protection against smallpox It Is an
absolute necessity, and should there
be laxity in enforcing the rule an epi
demic might result.
“Children are admitted to the
schools on the issuance by a physi
cian of a certificate that the child has
been vaccinated successfully. They
also are admitted when a physician
certifies that he has vaccinated the
child three times within twelve
months without success.
"When two physicians certify that
it would endanger the fife of a child
to vaccinate him, and also when It Is
shown that a child already has had
smallpox, a certificate i» issued to
them by me.”
"There is one thing I wish the pub
lic and tlie physicians to understand
thoroughly. It is that a physician
should not issue a certificate that a
child has been successfully vacci
nated by him until after the vaccina
tion has taken. There have been In
stances where children have been vac
cinated and the physician has issued
them a certificate before it is known
whether the treatment has been suc
cessful.
Superintendent Slaton and his office
force are exceptionally busy this week
issuing school certificates. More than
500 women and children called there
Wednesday afternoon, w’hlle Thursday
morning found a great crowd await
ing his arrival at the Boys’ High
School.

BT CREEK COUNCIL
Calls Conference Over Sewage
Plant Protection ‘Wind-Jam
ming’—‘Up to City,’ He Says,
Mayor Woodward Thursday
laughed over the conference of city
and county officials to devise some
means of getting Peachtree creek
*
cleaned. He said it was 99.44 per
cent pure "wind-jamming.”
“It is up to the city to go ahead
and clean out that creek to protect
the new sewage disposal plant,” he
said.
At the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners Wednesday
this matter of clearing Peachtree
creek of debris to keep the disposal
plant from overflowing in times of
heavy rain was brought up.
Commissioner Clifford L. Anderson
declared it was not the sort of work
for men in chains. He said that with
in the last few years the county had
done four-fifths of the permanent
paving in the city and that it was up
to the city to do some work itself.
The other commissioners agreed
with Mr. Anderson, and it was finally
decided that it was up to the city
government to have Peachtree creek
cleaned.
Mayor Woodward, Chief of Con
struction R. M. Clayton and F. A.
Quillian, chairman of the Bond Com
mission, have planned an early con
ference to see what can be done.
Mayor Woodward declared that the
same energy put into the numerous
conferences, if put into work, would
have cleaned the creek long ago.

19 Roach St., Atlanta, Ga. — “A few
months ago I had some kind of skin eruption
that spread until my limbs and fees were

watery blisters. It looked
like eczema. When the

so intensely that I could not

almost everything without re

Cuticura Soap and Ointment and after two
days I noticed improvement and In six days
the trouble left. My skin was fair and
smooth again and the eruption never re
turned.
"My cousin was a sufferer from pimples,
known as acne, on his face and seemed to
grow worse all the time. I recommended
Cuticura Soap and Ointment to him and
