This team, the headliners at the Forsyth this week, tell what the tango really is and how to dance it. - *] a run FSMEN WANTED. | HITUATIONS WANTED-^MALS SITUATIONS WANTED-FEMota 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; Pryor, 56; North Avenue. 3; W.

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.

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.

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.

It is the possibility of renting a houro in Washington suit able for Uncle Sam’s second in com mand at any price that comes with in the Vice President’s means and his salary of $12,000 a year. What they most desire is a furnished house at not over $2,000 a year. It seems impossible to get it. Houses that promise well leap in price when it becomes known that the Vice President wants them.
