Teachers See “Farce"
In Board's Agreement
On Holiday Extension
What is regarded by the teachers
of the Atlanta public schools as a
“farcical move’’ was the response of
the Board of Education to th© demand
for additional ‘holidays this Christ
mas. Monday and Tuesday were
added as holidays, but two days will
be added to the school term in the
heat of June.
Friday is the last day of school un
til after the Christmas holidays, Jan
uary 5, and 25,000 will immediately
begin the celebration, of Christmas.
President W. R. Daley said that the
two extra holidays practically meant
a confiscation of $4,400 of school
money.
After that remark. Mayor Wood
ward made a motion that the two
days be added to the school term
next June, and it was unanimously
adopted.

Says Eugenics Would

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—Bird S. Coler,
former Comptroller of the city of New

were adopted generally the human
race would be extinct in 50 years.
Folks who like a clever amateur
show are looking forward with great
expectation to the performance to
be given Friday night at the Grand
Theater by the Tech Dramatic Club.
It will be a great success. Prepa
rations for the * farce have been the
most elaborate ever attempted by the
club and the boys have responded
more readily to the coaching of Miss
Carolyn Cobb than ever before.
Particular attention has been paid
to the female Impersonators in the
cast. Their gowns were all made by
friends of the Tech students, and,
according to report, “fit them like the
paper on the wall.”
After the performance, most of the
crowd will attend a dance at Se-
gadlo’s Hall. The occasion will af
ford an opportunity for good-byes to
be said on the eve of the Christmas
holidays.
Great Chance to Help.
Through the generosity of the Tech
Dramatic Club, one-quarter of the
box receipts of the play will go to
wards The Georgian-Sunday Amer
ican Empty Stocking Fund. This, in
itself, warrants a good attendance.
It will afford an opportunity for
those who have not heretofore con
tributed to the fund to fill the Christ
mas stockings of the poor to do their
duty to humanity.
The Empty Stocking Fund will
also benefit by the dance to follow at
Segadlo’s. While the crowds are
laughing at the funny antics of the
Tech students on the stage of the
Grand, or whirling in the evolutions
of the tango and turkey trot, down in
the poorer districts of Atlanta the
little children will be laughing with
joy at the prospect of having old

Sweeping reforms in the meth
ods of conducting the locker
club* and cabarets of Atlanta
have been promised by Recorder
Broyles, who has .joiied Chief
BeaverR in the warfare.
The Recorder impressed upon
the police the necessity for con
tinued activity against the clubs
and amusement resorts, declaring
there are many dives in Atlanta
that should be abolished.
"We ar* depending upon the police
to do It,” he declared. “I will do my
part if the police wil larre*t the men.
who run these places and bring them
here. I will see that they are pun
ished A disorderly place Is an
abomination to a community, and one
of the worst evils we encounter.
It is understood that Chief Beav
ers and Recorder Broyles will com
bine with the Grand Jury and aid that,
body in an investigation, which, .it
is said, will be undertaken.
Beavers Says He Hat Evidence.
It is probable that the Grand Jury
inveatigation will be based on the
recent activities of detectives and
members of the vice squad, and the
evidence which Chief Beavers mv*
his mein have obtained against the
places.
Members of the Grand Jury refused
Friday morning to discuss the pro
posed inquiry, and it is not know.i
what methods the Grand Jury w'll
pursue. At a meeting late Thurs
day the investigation was made he
subject of extended discussion and
suggestion, and the outcome of the
Agitation probably will be the ap
pointment of a committee to visit ‘he
clubs and endeavor to determine
whether there Is sufficient violation
of the law to warrant the indictment
of the managers of the clubs.
Another secret meeting will be held
Friday, and it is probable that some
plan of conducting the investigation
will be outlined.
Chief Beavers and Chief of Detec
tives Lanford have declared they will
continue their espionage over the
locker clubs and cabarets, and that
every effort will be made to detect
violation*.
Seven Managerc Face Charges.
The test of strength between the
police and the clubs will come at the
trial of the s^ven managers woh were
arrested several day* ago and against
whom Chief Beavers and Chief Lan-
ford declare that they have strong
evidence, gathered by the detectives
and the vice ©quod men.
Judge Broyles’ entry Into the field
followed a raid by members of Chit f
Beavers’ vice spad on a cabaret show
at Broad and Walton streets and the
arrest of B. E. Shirley, who claims
to be a business man, Evelyn Gray,
who says she Is a saleswoman, and
E. T. Howell, manager of th© place.
'Hie Recorder fined Shirley and th©
Gray woman $25.76 each on charges
of disorderly conduct, and held How
ell to the higher courts in bonds of
$500, charged with maintaining a dU
orderly house in a restaurant.
Judge Seor©« Cabarets.
Prior to the sentencing of Mis#
Gray and Shirley, Judge Broylse de
livered a lecture to them, warning
them to stay away from such place*
and warning Howell that Improper
conduct at his place must cease

Recorder, but I am deeply grieved,
more deeply grieved than words can
tell Our moral.* are being ralmd to
a plane where vuch places are repul
sive. and we can not suffer them to
exist.”
The arrest of Howell and htoi two
patrons was the result of the activi
ties of Policemen Green and Wo
mack. who visited the place several
times, disguised. They testified re
garding variouf performances they
said they had witnessed in the place,
declaring that they had seen drunken
men and women dancing on the ta

They asserted that neighboring
