More evil than good would result
from the teaching of sex hygiene to
school children. In the opinion of
Superintendent William F. Slaton of
the Atlanta public schools, and he will
oppose any attempt to introduce such |
a course
"I can’t get away from the old idea
that this is a subject which should
be handled by parents," said Mr. Sla
ton Friday. “And I reaJly believe that
the proper course for the advocates
of such teachings is for them to teach
the parents, who in turn may teach
the children.
“The efTect which the teachings of
a morbid-minded person might have
upon the young minds is something
which we very much hate to con
sider, but which we must. It would
be apt to put thoughts in young minds
which would never have been thought
of otherwise.
“Of course, I do not mean by this
that those favoring this teaching are
morbid-minded, but an r*verzea.lous
person is apt to reveal a morbidness,
and these overzeolous ones might
creep in.
“I am very much opposed to the
proposition, and hardly think it will
be suggested for the Atlanta schools
any time soon. I would suggest that
the good people who are really serious
!n their belief that sex hygiene should
be taught in the schools, commence
a campaign to educate the parents.
This, in my opinion, is by far the best
method.”
a good bunch of his crowd could get
out, and the city would not suffer.”
After Mayor Woodward had left
the meeting Thursday night, Dr.
Bradfleld returned and said:
“Gentlemen, I must apologize for
leaving the room during that speech.
But I could not sit here and listen
to the attack on ex-Mayor Winn. I
must resign from the chairmanship
of this organization. I can not asso
ciate with a man whom I would not
take Into my own home.”
“Beavers Won’t Be an Issue.”
The meeting in the Second Ward
Thursday night began the actual po
litical warfare of the coming elec
tions. Numerous candidates Were
present. The most significant fact
developed is that Mayor Woodward
is going to take an active part In the
elections.
Friday Mayor Woodward spoke
lucidly of the part Police Chief Beav
ers will play in the campaign. On
this political issue he has been silent
for many months.
"Beavers won’t be an issue,” he
said. “You can’t Are a man for en
forcing the law. Former officials have
not considered it proper to enforce
some laws Beavers has enforced. But
because Beavers enforced them is no
grounds to fire him, and I have told
him so.”

Willard May Be First
Ambassador to Spain
Commercial High
In New Quarters
WASHINGTON. Sept. 5. The
United States Legation at Madrid
will be raised immediately to an em
bassy as the result of the passage by
the House of the Senate bill to au
thorize the President to appoint an
Ambassador to Spain, at $17,500 a
ye#r.
Joseph E. Willard, former Lieu
tenant Governor of Virginia, has been
mentioned a« the probable first Am
bassador to Spain.
The English-Commercial Girls’ High
School, which opens Monday, has
been moved from No. 16 Washington
street to the old Crew Street School
building at the corner of Crew and
Clarke streets. The old quarters were
entirely too small for the attendance
expected this year, and although the
new place is only temporary, it has
been painted and equipped with light
ing, heating and water systems so as
to make it as comfortable as possible.
This school has shown the most
important growth of any public school
in the city. There are not enough
graduates to fill the positions offered
each year. Last year there were
230 pupils in attendance, and this
year 300 are expected.
The Board of Education antici
pates an appropriation in January
to erect a new building at the corner
of Woodward avenue and Washing
ton streets. Council has come to
recognize that such a building is one
of the greatest needs in the city, and
practically has pledged itself to pro
vide the money.
This statement was made to-day
by Felix Diaz, nephew of former
President Porflrio Diaz, of Mexico,
who is en route to Japan on a spe
cial diplomatic mission.
“1 will have the support of all the
followers of General Porflrio Diaz,”
the envoy continued
Colonel Diaz is going to Biarritz,
where he will confer with Porflrio
Diaz. This conference probably will
result in the former President cabling
orders to all lift forinsr lieutenant's
urging therq to wqrjc for the election
of Felix.
Colonel Diaz will go to Paris to
confer with Francisco De La Barra,
Mexican Minister to France, who was
sent out of the Mexican republic by
President Huerta because of lift pop
ularity.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have with
us this morning Policeman Nathan
Blustin, a lad of alarmingly adven
turous Instincts, and the youngest
minion of the law in captivity.
His years are but four; his ambi
tions are the ambitions of centuries
of boys.
The sight of the brave and stalwart
crossing cops, thwarting with im
perious gesture the desires of auto-
mobilists, halting traffic with a word,
veritable monarchs of all they survey,
kindled within his young breast a de
sire to “go and do likewise.”
So he did it.
The morning was fraught with in
cident and adventure for Nathan. At
7 o’clock he got himself a hatchet and
broke the lock off the gate at his
borne. No. 23 Piedmont avenue. He
strode valiantly up Decatur street,
armed with a stick he picked up when
he left home.
Take Place at Five Points.
He got in the way of pedestrians
and vehicles galore, but naught cared
he. He was headed for Five Points,
and nothing but the rod of parental
authority or a stick of dynamite could
have prevented him getting there.
Patrolman Scott is on duty at Five
Point• to-day. a mighty figure of a
man. He had long been the apple of
young Nathan’s eye. so to speak, and
it was he that the youthful seeker aft
er .brass buttons and the locust stick
aspired to emulate.
Gripping his stick with all the as
surance and bravado that a real cop
per grips his club. Nathan marched to
j the s»lde of his idol. He stood beside
| the officer for fifteen minutes before
Scott knew he was there.

city public schools opened this week
with an enrollment of 876 white pu

"Tes, this is a mighty good oil
world after all, even if It Is full of
pain and sorrow," declared Thomas
C. Bram, paroled Federal prisoner,
Friday morning. “Only one thing
would Improve conditions, and that Is
If we all Just thought a little more of
our neighbors and had a little more
kindness in our hearts. Hereafter I
am going to live for others.”
Since his release Bram has deliv
ered several addresses in Atlanta
churches and has touched his audi
ence in each instance by his straight
forward, sincere pleading. He will
talk next Sunday night In the Jones
Avenue Baptist Church, of which the
Rev. Hugh Wallace Is pastor.
"All that I want to do Is to make
my life worth something—not to my
self, but to my fellow beings," said
Bram. ‘T can't enter the ministry
because I haven’t the education or
the force (those who have heard
Bram think differently), but I must
do something at once. I am too am
bitious to be doing nothing. For the
next few days I will await some de
velopments which I am not at liberty
to disclose. Atlanta people have been
kind to me In every way. Every man
has given me his hand, and I am
grateful."
Brum has received messages of
sympathy from all over the Unite 1
States.

So for fifteen minutes Nathan stood
beside the lordly traffic cop and did
everything Scott did. If Scott waved

if Scott nonchalantly twirled his stick,
then Nathan twirled his stick, too.

great was his astonishment that he
