TTTTC ATT A NT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. HEART THROBS VACCINAATION certificate is first IN llPPtliLS OF entrance requirement 250 Penniless Boys and Girls Ask Charitable Atlantans to Send Them to School. Contributions to Schoolbook Fund Georgian and Sunday American Cash W. L. Peel J. P. Allen Cash 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 from the genius in the hovel," said W M. Slaton, superintendent of the At lanta public schools, Thursday. But the aappes not made for potential geniuses^ 111 * 11 * <v -»* ^ rai Dr. .T. O.

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. TO DAY'S MARKET OPENING NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

"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. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

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.
