Over 1 000 Gain in City Schools Amid Attendance Strain
The Atlanta public schools expect enrollments to rise from 1090 to 1500 this year. Superintendent Slaton urged parents to secure entrance tickets early to avoid last year’s congestion.

An old Neat Academy on Moreland Avenue will open as a graded school within 30 days to ease crowding in Inman Park Highland and Pagewood areas. Entrance exams for new or former students will be held Friday at 10 o clock.

No Quarantine For Present In Georgia
At a meeting of the state board of entomology in the office of State Entomologist Lee Worsham yesterday afternoon it was decided not to draw any quarantine lines in Georgia regarding the bell weevil since the weevil has not reached the state and likely won’t before next year. A strict quarantine remains against infested parts of Alabama with no cotton seed from that state allowed into Georgia without a certificate from Alabama's entomologist that the seed comes from a district not infested. Quarantine lines will be drawn in the state as soon as the weevil appears in Georgia and measures will be taken to prevent its spread. The next board meeting will be in October. Members include Commissioner of Agriculture Price, President Williams of the Georgia Agricultural Society, and President Berkmans of the Georgia Horticultural Society.
