MU THAN 800
EXCESS PUPILS
JAM SCHOOLS
Slaton Arranges to Accommodate
1.000 More Than Seating Ca
pacity of City Institutions.
AM but 42 of the pupils who ap
plied for admission to the Atlanta
schools Monday have been provided
with seats, and before the close of the
day these will have been arranged for.
Thus the apparently Impossible task
of caring for 1,000 pupils above the
seating capacity of the schools has
been accomplished by Superintendent
W. M. Slaton and the principals of
the various schools.
Monday morning the school author
ities found themselves facing an ap
parently hopeless tangle In some of
the school^ having considerably more
applicants than accommodations. In
some Instances the excess number
passed well over the 100 mark.
Only 42 Lack Seats.
The tangle was unraveled by trans-
ferlng many pupils and the establish
ment of new grades in spme of the
schools. The present problem Is car
ing 42 additional "kiddies” In the first
grade of the English avenue school.
Race suicide apparently Is an unheard
of Issue In this neighborhood, and ad
ditional space provided In anticipa
tion of a great attendance there was
found Inadequate.
A new first grade will be estab
lished here, either In the basement of
the present building or in another
building in the neighborhood. The
children will not be placed In the
basement If there Is any possible way
to avoid it. By the transferring of
many of the pupils quite a number of
them will have long distances to go,
but every effort has been made to
prevent any hardship.
Confers With Principals.
A conference was held by Superin
tendent Slaton with the school prin
cipals Thursday afternoon, and 850 of
the children cared for. Thursday aft
ernoon he will hold another confer
ence with the principals of the Edge-
wood. Inman Park and Highland ave
nue schools, which schools are neat
each other.
Owing to the crowded conditions of
these schools the school board some
time ago began the'construction of
the Moreland school, which is expect
ed to be ready for occupancy in a few
weeks. Five grades will be estab
lished. and the overflow attendance
in the primary trades of these three
schools will be cared for.
School Congestion
Adjusted by Board.
Further adjustment of the crowded
condition of Atlanta schools was made
Thursday as a result of action of the
Board of Education at a special meet
ing Wednesday afternoon.
An option on the Neal property, at
No. 44 Moreland avenue, was accept
ed. The city is now using the old
Neal house for overflow' pupils, but
if the property is purchased the rent
will be deducted. The price is $9,800.
The Board gave Superintendent W.
M. Slaton authority to rent a cottage
in East Atlanta to take care of the
big increase in enrollment in the fifth
and sixth grades.
An additional teacher was author
ized for the Boys’ Technological High
School and one for the Girls’ High
School. Superintendent Slaton was
instructed to appoint teachers for the
new Moreland Avenue School, which
is almost completed. These appoint
ments must be confirmed by the
Board.

Nobody Can Tell When You;
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.
Grandmother, kept her hair beau
tifully darkened, glossy and abun
dant with a brew of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell '
out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonder
ful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy,” you will get
a large bottle of this old-time rec
ipe, ready to use, for about 60
cents. This simple mixture can be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy
scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown drug
gist says everybody uses Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, because it
darken* so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been
applied—it's so easy to use, too.
You simply dampen a sponge or
soft brush and draw It through
your hair, taking one strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another appli
cation or two it Is restored to Its
natural color and looks glossy, soft'
and abundant.

Mrs. Fanny Miller Again Maks
Appeal to Police to Locate
Stage-Struck Daughter.
The fear that her pretty 17-year-
old daughter, Belle, had been added
to the long list of white slave victims
was told to the police Thursday by
Mrs. Fanny Miller, No. 152 Wheeler
street, when she visited the station
to plead with the detectives to re
double their efforts to find the girl,
who has been missing since Tues
day.
Explaining the ground for her am-
iety, the widowed mother said that a
stylishly dressed yoqng man. repre
senting himself as a theatrical agent,
had been visiting her daughter lately
and had sought to persuade her to
Join a musical comedy troupe he said
he was organizing.
She feared the girl foolishly had
listened to his stories of the stage and
had run away with him, only to find
that his tale of being a theatrical
man was a decoy to lure her into
a life of shame.
Taught Her Steps and Songs.
The young man, she related, came
to the house a number of times and
taught her daughter dancing steps
and several songs he said she would
have to sing. The girl was enrap
tured with the prospects of getting
away from the routine of office work,
being employed as stenographer at
the American Can Company, and
eagerly besought her mother to per
mit her to go on the stage.
Her plans met with a cold recep
tion from this quarter. Mrs. Miller
told her daughter that she never
would think of letting her go on the
stage, particularly at the solicitation
of a strange young man. The young
man was forbidden the house.
In spite of this, Ethel Miller, an old
er sister of the missing girl, says that
he returned - Monday night whep the
mother was not at home. She heard
the young man ask her sifter if she
would leave home with him. She did
not hear her sister’s answer, but says
that after finishing the customary re
hearsal the young man left the house.
Ethel heard her sister tell the man
she would meet him at Five Points at
2:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.
Connected With Other Cases.
The police are doing their utmost
to locate the girl, but after searching
the city, they are of the opinion that
the pair may have taken a train for
New York. Authorities along the
route will be notified, and It Is thought
that they will be overtaken in a short
time.
During the last few months a young
man answering the description of the
alleged kidnaper has been operating
In small towns throughout the South.
It is thought that If this is the sam?
man the police by capturing him may
get a clew to the many missing-girl
cases reported during the year.
