f" r recognition of the educational
trends of tie Georgia mountain girls
toat is embodied in the annual re
port of Mrs Edward W. LaZarus. of
Atlanta, president of the Southern
Mountain Educational Association.
Airs. LaZarus tells of the struggles
that have attended the association’s
efforts to establish the. Mineral Bluff
Industrial School, of the success that
has come, and of the needs that still
exist.
Y\ e hope to make this institution
a harbor for worthy, needy, ambi
tious mountain girls, struggling in a
sea. of mental darkness." she says in
the report. “They are bright, but un-
awaken ‘d, with the purest Anglo-
Saxon blood coursing In their veins,
but so long hidden away among the
Appalachian spurs that they arc too
ignorant, because of poverty and n^n-
commun.cation, even to appreciate the
the grandeur of their surroundings.”
She tells of appalling conditions of
life, resulting from their lack of
training and generations of intellec
tual blindness.
"Improvidence,” she says, "is one of
their degenerating characteristics.
Many of the women do their cooking,
which consists mainly of half raw-
corn bread and inferior pork, under
leaking roofs, with dirt floors, often
wading !n mud and slush. Insanitary
surroundings, unwholesome food, lit
tle protection from the elements, these
people are acute sufferers and eAsy
victims to illness."
growth of the Mineral Bluff
School from an experimental institu
tion with an attendance of seven to a
prosperous establishment with 25
girls and two buildings, she recounts,
fine of the needs is $1,300 to pay for
a new class building recently erected.

math Falls, Oreg., to San Francisco—

Property owners on Spring street
who are willing to give waivers of
damages in order to make that thor
oughfare into a 60-foot Boulevard for
its entire length have been asked to
communicate with G. A Martin, 502
Peters Building, In a letter published
by the Spring Street Committee.
This committee has as its object
the regrading of the street and elimi
nating the heavy grades which at
present prevent traffic to any extent.
The letter, which will be sent to ev
ery property owner on,the street, is
unique and makes the prediction that
unless another outlet to the North
Side, other than Peachtree, is soon
provided, the North Side development
will be brought to a standstill.
It reads:
“Can Peachtree carry the traffic
much longer?
“Wouldn’t it be a joy if there was
one good boulevard in Atlanta that
we could drive out without contin
ually applying the emergency brakes
to prevent running down some pe
destrian or jamming a street car?
Let’s all dream of that being a pos
sibility and let each citizen of At
lanta lend his aid by asking the
representative of his ward in the
City Council to assist, and then watch
the County Commissioners, who are
in hearty accord with the work, put
convicts to work according to their
promise on or before January’ 15. The
grade committee of Spring street went
out last Thursday with the engineers
and inspected each contemplated
change of grading, as shown on the
new profile and maps, which are near
ly finished."
The letter also refers to Mayor
Woodward's plaza project, which pro
vides a viaduct at the foot of Spring
street, and gives this as an urgent
reason for the immediate develop
ment of Spring street into a broad
boulevard.

Take Nuxcara-Eat Anything
W HY not drink coffee if you
enjoy it? There is no ne
cessity for you to give up
this stimulating beverage because
it affects the Stomach. By taking
NUXCARA regularly you will
never suffer from its effects.
The action of NUXCARA on
the digestive organs is such that
one may eat or drink anything in
moderation and feel no bad effects.
Of course one may eat or drink to
excess and they will have to pay
the penalty, but even at that
NUXCARA will relieve in a short
time, and cure if you observe the
laws of nature and don’t overload
the Stomach. There has never
been a case of Acute Indigestion
known where NUXCARA had
been taken.
