JL ti • {I;:; Newt Lee Disappears; Detectives Search City. City detectives are making a close search of the city for Newt Lee, the neftro nlRht watchman at the Na tional Pencil Factory, who mysteri ously disappeared after his release from the Tower August -fi. He Is wanted as a witness before the Grand Jury Tuesday, when the Jim Conley ease will be taken up by Solicitor Dorsey, Bven I^e’s attorneys. Graham & Chappell, are in ignorance as to his whereabouts, according to their reply to city Detective K. H. Starnes’ re quest of them for his address. The negro was to meet the detec tives at police headquarters Saturday night, but did not appear. His fail ure to show up was not regarded as important until the detectives falle, 1 to find him Monday. The fact that nr could not be located at anv of the places where they felt certain of find ing him and that his attorneys also know nothing of him caused the of ficers to redouble their efforts. Dee Is regarded as one of the most Important witnesses in the effort to Indict Conley. As a matter of fact, he will be practically the only wltnem called by the Solicitor, as Conley’s admission that he helped move the body Is regarded as sufficient to bring an Indictment as an accessory after the fact. Since Dec’s release from the coun ty Jail his attorneys have filed a pe tition with the Board of County Com missioners asking that he he paid for the time he was held In the Tower as a witness. No action has been taken by the Commissioners beyond refer ring the matter to the attorney for the board for an opinion. Some of the Commissioners favor paving the negro.

CAN School opt-i.ed Monday. It was one of the most satisfactory “first days” in the history of the Atlanta public schools. While there is as yet no means of comparing the total enroll ment with that of previous years, the swarms of new students that ap plied for admission to every grade from first to the last indicated that all records would be broken by from 1,500 to 2,000. The enrollment for the scholastic year ending last June was 24,065. Su perintendent William F. Slaton pre dicted that the record for this year would be close to 26,000. While every school in tlie city was a scene of great activity, the Boys’ High School, on Courtland street, de veloped into a storm center that near ly swept the corps of teachers and as sistants off their feet. It was here that the parents and children came for tickets of admission to one or another of Atlanta's schools. Delay Causes Congestion. They could have come at any time during the vacation, but very much like other human beings, they waited until the last moment, with the re sult that for hours Monday there was a long line of impatient men. women and children trying to get admission to the superintendent's office. The line at times extended through the door and out into the street. In the crowd there were little girls with bright, clean dresses; wee lads with cap's in hand, or. awed into for getfulness. with caps still on their heads. There were mothers, matron ly individuals with one child In tow or maybe a whole brood. And there even were fathers, some of them bald- headed and rather ashamed of being mixed up in a mob of fretting wom en and pushing, shoving children. Every child who was entering the first grade of the public school sys tem. every pupil who was becoming an attendant in the Atlanta schools for the first time, and every student who found it necessary to transfer from one district to another was compelled to get one of the tickets of admission. Girls' High Less Crowded. The scene was somewhat different at the Girls* High School, although several of the rooms were filled with applicants for registration. Only prospective students of the high school registered The old students were first on hand and were regis tered within a spa< of 35 minutes The registration of the girls from the grammar grades and front schools outside the city then was taken up and proceeded through the j day Miss Jessie Muse the principV. said that the prospects were bright for a much larger enrollment than In any previous year. During the school year of 1912-13 682 girls were enrolled. This number is expected to go beyond the 700 mark this year. The total attendance at the Boys* High School was 372. There were 21 students in the Girls’ Normal School. Several new schools will be opened this year to accommodate Atlanta’s rapidly growing school population. Among them will be the Capitol Ave nue Night School, which formerly was conducted by the Jewish Educa tional Alliance; the new school on Moreland avenue and the school on Euclid avenue, which riow is being placed in condition Mourns Cooking Course. Superintendent Slaton, from his of fice In the Boys’ High School, kept in almost constant telephonic com munication with the outlying schools and directed the many perplexing de tails of the annual opening. Mr. Sla ton, while greatly encouraged by the growth nnd progress of Atlanta’s schools, expressed his disappointment that the city had not yet made up its mind to follow the example set by I other cities and install a domestic J science department in the Girls’ High i School, the English-Commercial J School and in the seventh ;.nd eighth grades of the grammar schools. “The young women of the South,” said the superintendent, “are never so beautiful, never so sweet and nev»T so charming as when their sleeves are rolled up and they scientifically are preparing a meal for their father, brother or guest. "It is not necessarily our idea to make cooks out of the coming gen- I eration of women, but we want to fit J them to preside in the best households in the land, to direct the operations in their own kitchens and dining rooms and to give instructions to the servants. City’s Neglect Is Scored. “I have inspected the schools of many cities, among them St. Louis. Indianapolis, Cleveland, Boston and ! New York. In all of these cities they I had the teaching of domestic science and they made much of it. “Atlanta boys and Atlanta girls are ' entitled to the best on earth. They j could have these advantage** if Coun cil were disposed to appropriate the money. It is only extreme neglect that has allowed the girls to be with out domestic science and the boys without the proper amount of man ual training. "Pure food and scientific cooking Is one of the most Important things in the world. A man of millions will ruin his stomach and his digestion by improper foods and then will be glad if he might trade his millions for the health that once was his.” Miss Muse at the Girls’ High Srho;>l echoed the sentiments of the superin tendent. "We have a little of the parapher nalia already," she said "Wo have scores of girls who are eager to take the course in domestic science, but we have no teacher and no appropri ation for the other necessary equip ment. T hope that the public demand will force action in the matter.” Fund Enables Scores To Enter Schools. Scores of needy children, whose parents are unable to buy their books, started to school Monday. Others were deterred from entering becaus*; of lack of books and sufficient clothes. Many philanthropically inclined per sona have contributed to The Geor gian's fund to buy books for these children. It 18 not too late to add to the fund j for this worthy cause. Subscription®’ will be received all this week. It is | the desire that every child in Atlaijti shall be properly supplied with books. , and that there shall bo no reason j why any child shall be derived of his i right to an education. Subscriptions continue to come to The Georgian office for the school book fund. Since those last acknowl edged the following have been re ceived : Mrs. John A.

Glass From Door Driven Through Arm GRIFFIN, Sept. 8.—James Ramey was painfully injured in a strange accident during a rainstorm Sunday. When the storm came up and the wind was blowing at a terrific rate, Mr. Ramey went to the front door to close it, but before he could do so the wind blew’ the door hard against his hand, breaking the glass. A piece of the glass passed through his arm just above the wrist, going between the bones that connect at the wrist Joint and passing out the other side.
