Four Little Atlanta Stories Highlights Southern Education News
A Georgia educator, Dr. H J Pearce, is elected president of the Southern Psychological Society in Baltimore, with Atlanta to host the next annual meeting and a related science gathering. Cemeteries in Atlanta face congestion with plans to relocate Oakland’s fifteen acre Negro section to expand burial lots, a project costing about a quarter million dollars. A country boy chases a mule after a bicycle accident, and a mistreated orphan girl seeks shelter at police HQ alleging abuse by her mistress Mrs Payne, who claims the girl stole items. The girl will likely be returned to Chattanooga where custody follows institutional care rules.
