That is, ii will he a gra\ day when
that happen?
Tt hasn't happened vet
Work started early Friday morning
trith the avowed intention of cutting
down the unraised balance of the
fund from $69,264 to $50,000 by Satur
day night
'ten thousand a day would do it
and the worker? were after that
*10.000 a day.
Several large and ha rd - work mg
committees didn't report yesterday,''
said Ivan Tv Allen, chairman of the
■ ommittee of the whole "We knew
that the reason they didn't report was
because they were out working. We
are looking for tlio.se reports io-da>
and we are confident they will have
something good to tell iif
Young Man Doing the Work.
An interesting fart is developed by
an inspection of the lists of workers
and subs- ribers in this campaign
Nearly all the workers arc young
men. men new to the labor.
"I never saw an Atlanta campaign
with so few of the old, wily, experi
enced leg-pullers in it," Mr. Allen
■•aid at the luncheon Thursday. "The
youngsters arc taking hold, and they
surely are delivering the goods."
Also, a majority of the subscribers
are young men and women. Perhaps
the amounts they subscribe are not
as large as those by their elders, but
they am gifts in proportion to their
means -and the spirit is the same.
Particularly affecting was the re
port by telephone of Joel Hunter,
absent from the meeting by reason
of hard work in the muse.
High School Pupils Help.
Mr. Hunter had suggested that the
Hoys' High School be given a chance
to subscribe if its student body cared
for the project.
Professor J. H. Smith had explained
the matter to the hoys, and he was
profoundly moved by their interest
and responsiveness. Twenty-eight
hoys in the senior class pledged them
selves for $6 each, making $140. i
Then the junior business class slb-
scribed $126; junior "A" class, Soft;
first class. $106; and by the time the
other classes were reached the fund
had grown to $600, and still was
growing.
From the Girls' High School, the
subscription by the faculty of $250.
announced Tuesday, had been in-
• leased by $20. while the girls had
added $25 more.
Burglarfe Get Little
In 2 Peachtree Raids
Proprietor? of two Peachtree
stores opened their places of busi
ness Friday morning to find that bur
glars had been there during the night.
Nothing of value was taken.
Burglars forced an entrains into
the Yancey Hardware Company at
No 134 Peachtree street and ran
sacked the stock. They got four re
volvers. They entered on the Forsyth
street side of the building. The L.
W. Rogers store at No. 109 Peach
tree street also wa« visited, pre
sumably by the same persons. The
- ash register was broken open, but
the robers got nothing, because the
day’s receipts had been banked the
night before
‘There are I suspect, many hun-
dieds of automobiles in Georgia that
*»rt not properly licensed and num
bered. and if the owners thereof knew'
they were guilt.\ of a misdemeanor In
this matter I 'col sure they would
apply and get their tags," said Sec-!
itt .ry of State Phil <’ook to-da.v
“I have had reported to me from
one town alone 26 unlicensed cars. I
however, am not the man to whom
these reports should he made if
they are maoe to the Sheriff of the
count* it will be his duty to arrest
the owners of unnumbered cars
' The punishment for using an un
licensed car Is $1,000 fine or twelve
mr nths in the clialngang, either or
both, or anf part of either or both. 1
do not think there should be a single
ui numbered <ar in the State, and a
few arrests would bring about such a
condition, I feel sure
'We have issued nearly 24,000 num
bers so far. and I guess we should
have issued over 26,000.
There is another very widespread
misapprehension about the automo
bile law that is going to get some
body into trouble sooner or later, and
this should be regulated, too. Many
people seem to think that the State
gives a courtesy of 3d days to all cars
brought, into the State hearing the
tag of another State The State does
do that, provided the owner of tho
car is a non-resident and is simply
sojourning in Georgia temporarily.
But if the owner of the car lives in
Georgia he has no courtesy extended
to him. 3d days or otherwise—he is
immediately subject to tax
"Sometimes people buy cars in, say,
Alabama, and they come Into Georgia
bearing Alabama tag?. These tags
are no good in Georgia if the owners
of such cars live here The 30 days’
courtesy merely applies to outsiders
visiting in Georgia, and if they re
main more than 30 days they must
get a Georgia number "
Governor Slaton reached Atlanta
Thursday afternoon from a ten days'
Visit to New York. He is in the ex
ecutive offices of the Capitol to-day.
Miss Constance, Schley a graduate
of the Georgia Normal School and an
authority on educational matters,
rather severely arraigns the common
school system of Georgia in a recent
statement, aisl what she suys whlie
it will not be agreed to In all quar
ters. nevertheless will command re
spect generally. There are a good
many people w ho realize that there ‘s
much truth. 1n part, at least, in what
she says.
In part. Miss Schley says'
| Almost the first Indication that a
' people manifests of awakening in -
I terest in children is their willingness
to tax themselves locally and liberal
ly for better schools, better schoc
houses, better teachers and better
teaching.
"The school of permanent Influ
ence is dependent upon local pride,
local initiative, local self-sacrifice and
local tax in behalf of good school?;
and the problem can be solved in no
other way.
"Only two States in the Union at
tempt to solve the common-school
problem with great lump sums appro
priated out of the State Treasury.
Mississippi i« one and Georgia is the
other, and the rank of these two
States in the column of illiteracy is
forty-fifth and forty-sixth. During
tiie last twenty years the common
school appropriation of Georgia ha
been nearly quadrupled, hut Oeor
gla/s place in the illiteracy column
remains exactly the same!
"Ours is a mistaken policy. Noth
1n~ is cl.arer than this. The com
mon-school problem can not l>e solve 1
in this way. It never was solved this
way in any State of the Union.
, "Local taxation for schools lias be-
I gun in Georgia arid local school ays-
| terns are multiplying, but our rrh-
I am e is dill mainly upon legislative
{appropriations.
The policy is futile and foolish,
land this ought to be said bravely and
I convincingly in every community in
Georgia.
1 "We shall never have country
'school? of permanent influence with
out the local pride that is equal to a
local school tax. Twenty-nine coun
ties of the .State have county-wide
local t m v • ioo! item*. Th*w ought
to be 148 such counties in Georgia, all
of them under adequate, efficient su
pervision.”
The Governor has been requested
to increase the Georgia committee on
next year's world-wide celebration of
the peace pact of Ghent—whereby
war was concluded between England
and the United States, following the
unpleasantness of 1812—from five to
fifty or a hundred.
This committee was named orlgi-
nally several years ago by Governor
Joseph M. Terrell, but since that time
the scope of the proposed celebration
has been very greatly widened, and it
is the very earnest desire of its pro
moters to make it of as great signifi
cance as possible.
The Governor will comply with the
request and will name two or more
members from each Senatorial di
trie t in the State. After the com
mittee has been named those at th>‘
head of the movement will inform
the committeemen of the program n -
ai present Outlined and as to tb"
work yet remaining to be done.
