CHILDREN ARE FORCED
TO STUDY HEMENT
Deplorable over-crowding In the
Atlanta public schools wav disclosed
In reports of the opening day’s at
tendance filed Wednesday with Su
perintendent W. M. Slaton.
Inscriptions submitted by several
of the teachers and principals of the
difficulties which they were forced to
meet showed that In eome of the
schools children are being boused In
tbe basements of the buildings and
that clauses are being held there.
Because the schools near their
homey are so badly congested as to
forbid the acceptance of any more
pupils, other children are compelled
to walk a mile or a mile and a half
in order to be able to attend school
at all.
The negro schools are so much
worse that they are running on half
time, one-half of the pupils attending
from 8:30 to 12:30 and the oth'T
half from 1:30 to 4 :30.
Half of Schools Affected.
The reports sent in the first daj
revealed the startling fact that more
than half of all the schools of the
city have more pupils than they can
take care of properly. This condi
tion will be aggravated during tho
next few days, as the first day’s at
tendance will be Increased consider
ably by late arrivals.
An effort will be made Wednesday
afternoon at a meeting of the prin
cipals in tbe office of Superintendent
Slaton to alleviate the congested con
ditions so far as possible, hut the
Huperintendent said Tuesday that the
only real solution was the building
of new school houses about the city
where they are most needed.
At the meeting of the principals
some of the children ft the most
crowded schools will be transferred
to schools in contiguous districts
where there is plenty of room or
where the congestion is not so
marked.
Moreland Ready Soon.
The Moreland Avenue School rap
idly is being placed in shape for the
reception of students and within two
or three weeks it w'ill ty? possible to
transfer five grades, three from the
Inman Park, Edge wood Avenue and
Highland schools, none of which have
sufficient acconimodiations for all
their pupils.
This, however, will not fully re
lieve the congestion In these three
schools and .the conditions are very
likely to be exactly as bad as they
»ire now within another two or three
years.
Three grades In the Inman Park
Schgol are kept In the basement.
There Is no other place for them in
the building. It has been a question
either of keeping the children In these
unpleasant, if not Insanitary, sur
roundings or of giving them no in
struction at all. The basements also
are used at the State Street School
and at the Grant Park School.
. Girl# Sit in Windows.
An S. O. S. call for more room and
more desks came to Superintendent
Slaton from the Girl’s High School
during Tuesday forenoon. Ail rec
ords for first woek attendance had
been broken and tho. girls were sit
ting on window sills and rostrums
pending the arrival of more desks.
The attendance at the girl’s school
on the first day last year was 637.
TTils year it was 673. with 52 more
taking entrance examination*. Miss
Jessie Muse, the principal, estimated
that 760 would be enrolled by the
end of the week, the high-water mark
in the history of the school.
The attendance at the Tech High
School is beginning to crowd the ac
commodations and within two or
three years, If the school continues to
grow with the leaps and bounds It
has experienced since its removal
from the High School building, larger
quarters will be needed.
Tech Also Grows Rapidly.
When the removal was made at the
suggestion of Huperintendent Slaton
the enrollment was 75. It is now' 237
and growing rapidly. That it will
reach 600 within three or four years
is the confident prediction.
Among the districts most needing
new f* bool buildings at once, ac
cording to the superintendent, are the
Ninth Ward. Kant Atlanta, where
about 30 children have to walk a
mile and a half to the Faith School,
Ansley Park, South Atlanta and
Pittsburg. New quarters also are
needed for the English-Commercial
High School and better facilities are
needed at the Summer Hill Negra
School.
Superintendent Slaton is much
gratified at the evidence of the pop
ularity of Atlanta’s school system
with the parents and children.
Urges ♦he City to Act.
He expressed Tuesday the wish
that steps would be taken at once
more fully to provide for the care
and instruction of the children that
are applying for admission to the
suhools.
Among the schools which have re
ported overflows on the first day are:
8U*.te Street. 28; Fraser, 12; Inman
Park. 23; Form wait, 60; Williams, 5;^
Peeples, 94; Grant Park, 6; Lee, 7;

SERIU OF RABIES
Dr. Noguchi, of the Rockefeller
Institute Announces Important
Medical Discovery.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The germ
that produces hydrophobia has been
isolated by Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, of
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research. The achievement Is one
for which pathologists have strived
30 years. Dr. Noguchi began his In
vestigation, which has resulted in the
discovery and cultivation of the germ
of rabies, in the early part of last
year.
His announcement upsets the pre
vious theory regarding the disease,
it having been generally accepted that
the germ was bacterial. Physicians
are greatly interested. They believe
the discovery may result in a speciflo
cure for the disease. The Pasteur
treatment is a preventative of hydro
phobia and not a cure.
"I very mruch doubt whether Dr.
Noguchia’s discovery will make any
Immediate change In the treatment of
rabid d6gs,” said Dr. George Gibier
Rambaud, director of the Pasteur In
stitute In this city, when he heard of
it. “Whether it will result In the
finding of a specific cure for this
most dread disease is something
which must be left to the future. If
such a specific and absolute cure can
be found, It is probable that Dr. Nou-
guchi will be the one to give It to
the world.”
Dr. Nouguchi says that the method
employed by him was similar to that
employed successfully for the culti
vation of the spirochaeta© of relaps
ing fever.

you are not dancing the tango nor
yet the turkey trot, but an adaption
of the rag. a sort of combination of
the turkey trot and the barroom rag
in which the steps of the latter pre
dominate?
It’s a fact!
Frank Hale and Inez Patterson
headliners at the Fornyth this week,
with a tangoing and turkey-trotting
act. say so—and they ought to know.
They ar? giving In Atlanta this week
their first performance after an Eu
ropean tour of several months. Hale
claims to be the champion rag and
Texas Tommy dancer of the world.
"The real tango is not danced at
all in the United States,” they pay.
"It is not danced anywhere but in
Peris and London and Buenos Ayres
that is\ it is not danced correctly.
There are a few couples in New York,
whom we recently saw, who have the
right steps, and who will be able to
dance the reu 1 tango soon. We used |
to think w* danced the tango, until |
we went *.o Europe and saw the real
dance that was introduced in Paris
by dancers from South America. The
tango came originally from Buenos
Ayres, in the Argentine Republic, and
is now danced all over Europe, es
pecially in London and Paris.
"The tango that is danced in Amer
ica bears little resemblance to the
real tango. It is a sort of an adap
tion of the old rag dances and the
Texas Tommy; a combination of the
turkey trot and the barroom rag. wiih j
the letter predominating. There are
no whirls, and exaggerated dips and |
throwing «*f the woman in the real |
tango; it is a dance almost as smooth |
and graceful as the waltz. In place
f the dips that Amer* ins put in
the tango there should be but the |
slightest bending of the knee; it is
more of a walk to music than any
thing else
"Whatever may be said of the
American tango, the real tango is
no immodest. When American danc
ers learn the beauties of the real
tango, they will discard the rough
not immodest. When American danc-
adopt the real dance.”
Mis3 Patterson declared that in her
opinion the tango will enjoy greater
popularity in the North than in the
South, because Southern mu*ic is not
so "raggy” and is more dreary ana
soothing than the music of the Nortia.

Steel Rich, a Greek baker of No.

Broyles to-day he had been clubbed
fifteen times by Edward Harper, a
negro employee.
Fifteen times, he asserted, his head
had been bumped on the floor of his
bake shop. Fifteen times had the
negro’s fist met his face, according to
his testimony.
Whereupon the court fined Edward
Harper $15 and costs.
Rich averred that he had returned
to his bakery last night and found a
pie missing. The pie, he saysi, was
later discovered under the bunk on
which Harper sleeps at night.
He accused the negro of the theft.
He resented the imputation and the
fifteen thrashings followed.
