OVER 100 PUPILS
ARE CROWDED OUT
OF CITYJCHOOLS
But Seats for 14,382 Have
Been Provided For
Children of City.
With over a hundred children unable
to secure seats, and 14,382 already pro
vided for, the Atlanta public school*
have started on what promises to be
the moat prosperous year In their his
tory.
Notwithstanding the fact that six
new school buildings have been provid
ed for during the past year, 'some of
which, however, are not quite.com
pleted, Superintendent Slaton stated
Saturday morning that the schools were
worse crowded this year than ever be
fore, but that it would be a question of
only a short time until transfers would
be made which would enable every
child In the city to secure a seat. Th#
greatest crowding Is reported In the
second and third grades on the south
side, but this can soon be overcome.
One of the hardest problems facing
the teachers this year will be the
change In the system of handwriting
taught. For several years past the ver
tical system, which was thought to be
more legible, has been in vague In the
city schools, but on account of com
plaints from the business men of the
city, that it was unnecessarily slow,
and no more legible than the old slant
ing system. It has been dropped. Pro-
