Children of Ashby School Give
Novel Demonstration of Prog

GREAT VAUDEVILLE
BILL THIS WEEK AT
THE BONITA THEATER
Visitors to the Child Welfare and
Health Show Tuesday were repaid for
their interest by a novel demonstra
tion given by the deaf school chil
dren of the Ashby Street School. They
arrived at the building, No. 198
Peachtree street, where the exhibits
have been placed, soon after the
show’ opened in the forenoon. They
were accompanied by their teacher.
Under her direction they presented
striking illustrations of the progress
they have made despite their handi
cap.
The Child Welfare Show continued
to attract large crowds on Tuesday,
and the promoters are looking for
great benefits to come from its in
fluence. It especially is desired to
have in attendance all of th.e mothers
of Atlanta whose meager means and
limited facilities at home have pre
vented them from giving their chil
dren the care that the young people
need.
An important feature of the wel
fare show is the free diagnosis that
will be given all children brought to
the exhibit building by their parents.
A number of the most skilled phy
sicians in Atlanta have volunteered
their services for this purpose. The
plan will enable parents who have
been unable to afford a careful diag
nosis of their little ones’ condition
or who have been made the victim of
imperfect diagnosis to have the ad
vantage of the opinion of the best men
in the profession.
Clinics are conducted almost con
tinuously at the show to demonstrate
