Railroads and schools drive Atlanta’s western ascent
Rail lines project a vast rolling mill and a two to three million dollar passenger depot. A million two hundred thousand dollar bridge spans the Missouri river as Kansas City expands its fourfold educational system. The writer compares Atlanta’s inaction with Kansas City’s free books for poor children and rapid school growth, noting tens of thousands attend city and Catholic schools, many at no cost. The piece warns Atlanta to rise and echoes a motto promoting universal education.
