Mrs. R. M. Walker Calls Atlanta
Schools a Disgrace—Twenty-
nine Actually Insanitary.
the hiRh schools. The Tech High Is
housed In two store buildings with
insufficient light and ventilation. They
me all overcrowded, and the Girls’
High School has very Inadequate
heating facilities. In addition to this,
over 5(10 children in Atlanta are at
tending schools which have double
sessions and are only getting four
hours’ instruction a day instead of
the regulation five Rnd a half.
"We women have done our part in
investigating conditions and laying
them before you. Now, it is up to the
men of Atlanta to say whether we
shall allow smaller cities to forge
ahead of us in educational matters."
The Ad Men unanimously indorsed
Mrs. Walker's attituae and pledged
their support to the school reform
movement.
The insanitary and overcrowded
conditions of the public schools of At
lanta were described before the Ad
Men's Club at a luncheon at the Hotel
Ansley Thursday by Mrs. R M
Walker, president of the Atlanta
School Improvement Association. This
organization has been investigating
the grammar and high schools of the
city, at the request of members of the
City Council, who wished to have a
complete report of the condition and
needs of the schools before the appor
tionment sheet is. made out in June.
‘‘Our organization has reported on
56 schools," said Mrs. Walker, "twelve
of which were found in good repair,
Twenty-flve are unsatisfactory and
eleven are a disgrace to a city of At
lanta s size. Last year Birmingham
spent S19.18 per pupil on her schools,
while Atlanta was spending $33.25 a
pupil. Yet the Birmingnam schools
are in excellent repair and have good
sanitary conditions and furnish books
to the children of the first three
grades, while in 29 Atlanta schools
conditions are actually insanitary.

Builder
The Rev. W. B. Graham is conduct
ing a revival at the Pilgrim Congre
gational Church, of which he is the
pastor, being assisted by Dr. J. S. V.
Saul and Mrs. Saul, of this city.
The attendance has been large dur

in progress and several adult conver

located on Leonard street. Good mu
sic is a feature, and the meetings wiil
continue indefinitely.
The Brain and Body
call for repair- the
craving for fish the
moment you get into
the woods isn’t mere
ly a sporting instinct.
The Brain needs nour
ishment—the tissues
need rebuilding.
That’s where a good
market, like the Ful
ton Market, comes in.
You can get your en
ergy building food
right here. You don’t
have to go and catch
it.
It’s Freshness
That Counts
But be sure you get
fresh fish. The Fulton
Market recognizes no
obstacle in trans
porting from the
water to your table
fish guaranteed to be
fresh—not only fresh
on certain days, but
i fresh every day.
We know our system; we
know how well it works.

Ruling by City Attorney Expected
to Have Radical Effect on
Educational System.
Developments at the meeting of the
Board of Education Thursday after
noon indicated that the long-threat
ened readjustment of teachers’ sala
ries may be near at hand.
The hoard found Itself confronted
witn a ruling by City Attorney James
L. Mayson against giving teachers
credit for experience previous to their
employment in the Atlanta school
system and a resolution from the City
Council asking for a report on needed
changes In the salary system of the
schools. The members of the Board
of Education declared that a compli
ance with these measures would have
a radical effect on the school system.
The ten members present voted five*
against five on a motion r to comply
with the city attorney’s ruling. Then
in reply to the Council resolution they
adopted a resolution asking Council
to give them authority to make the
adjustments.
Rules on Mayor’s Protest.
The ruling of Attorney Mayson
came as a result of a recent protest
by Mayor Woodward against salary
increases for a number of teachers
because of experience in other cities.
The system long has been In practice
in Atlanta, enabling Atlanta, accord
ing to Superintendent Slaton, to get
many well-trained teachers from
other cities. As soon as they demon
strate their efficiency they are ad
vanced on the salary pcale according
to the number of years they have
taught.
Attorney Mavson’s ruling Is that
their pay can not be increased except
on a basis of the number of years
they have taught in Atlanta.
Tie Vote on Ruling.
On a motion by Harvey Hatcher to
comply with Mr. Mayson’s ruling, the
vote was:
Ayes—Hatcher. Key, Green, Eu
banks, Guinn—5.
Noes—Terrell. Pierce, Chambers,
Morgan, Armistead—5.
The opinion of members of the
hoard is that whatever action is taken
will depend upon the attitude of the
City Council on the request of the
Board of Education to readjust sala
ries rather than to recommend
changes to the Council.
Women’s Club to Aid
College Park Poor
The welfare committee of the

the Associated Charities of Atlanta to
co-operate and cases coming to the
attention of the Colleee Park commit
tee within the jurisdiction of Atlanta
will be turned over to the Atlanta

Million Profit in
Morgan Porcelains
PARIS. April 23.—There is good au

nixed feelings among dealers.
While It will paralyze their business
for a time, confidence is felt that in
the end it will prove that the pur
chase of antique objects of art is as
sound an investment as stocks.
