It ti a matter of gratlfleatkm lo tbe friend* of agricultural education and of tbe t'nlvenlty of Georgia that tbe illgbt euggeition of friction between tbeae great tntereata manlfeated aome weeka ago baa now been moat happily adjaated. I It waa quite erideot that In preparing oounea of. etudy for tbe new , ichoola an apprebeaalon prevailed that certain Influence! directly con nected with tbe unlveralty might be tempted In their abaolute loyally to | that great iaatltutlon. to give the preponderance of etndlea to each a courae I aa would make eaay the paaaage from the agricultural achoola to the uni- I veralty at Athena, and that to tbla end the claaalca had been given too large a prominence In tbe curriculum of tbe agricultural ichoola. j Tbla agpreheualoo.pubUoly atated created no little apprebenaion I among the frlenda of ngrloultural education, and evaked from the great or- ganlaatlon of tbe farmer! aome apeclflc proteat through their official head. , It la quite evident now that thrta apprebenaion haa been duly regard ed and treated with great conalderatton by tbe Initial beard dealing with tbe couraee of etudy In the agricultural achoola. Prof. J. 8. Stewart. of tbla board, end alao a member of .the faculty of tbe Unlreralty of Georgia, baa made plain In published Interview! that the board mapping tbla line of atndy haa had no arbitrary powara. but baa acted In a purely aug- geatlve capacity and that the amendment or correction of tbelr report la eaaily within the authority of the local truateea of'the Individual school*. And tbe other mattera of detail anch aa choice of location, of building, and aeieetton of leachera, It alao within the authority ot the local tfuateea of the aeveral achoola. Profeaaor Stewart haa gone to great peine to Indicate In detail tbe great preponderance given to agricultural eduoatlou In lb# -courae of atudy auggeuted by htmaelf and the other member* ot tbe committee ap- lailnted by the governor, and a reading of Profeaaor Stewart’* r«i«>rt will Indicate that tbe feellnga and wlahea of the farmera have been treated with great reaped In the preliminary work of the committee. It la the optnlun of The Georgia n that tbla aplrtt manlfeiled in the word* and demonatraled In the publ lahed courae of atudlea will satisfy lu large moaaure tbe complain! of thoae who were jealou* for agri cultural pre-eminence In the data of atudlea, nod that Chare will be no far ther friction In the complete and h appy cunaummatton ot these great en terprises which are adding ao much to the happlneea and high repute of Georgia. ' The Georgian, which la one of tbe moat loyal of frlenda of the the uni royalty, la equally loyal to the theory and titan of the agricultural col- lege*, and we beve not been willing*! any time lo age the Interests of one made subordinate to the other. For that reason it la our pTea»ure~!o chronicle tbe fact of tbla better understanding. We have been In great sympathy In time past with the eptrit and purpose of claialcat education, but we have long since reached an Impression which seems to Indicate that tbe education which this age requires la not absolutely depen dent upon the classical, and that both Imagination and culture can be attained without too gnat a aubtervlenco to those ancient theories which made the study of Latin nod Greek an Indispensable .element of every mental curriculum. ~r-3fpmc7thla llne-we shall have ntora In (ULV_«t another time Whenever the tow In the innate begin* to simmer down a bit, tbe gov- eminent printing dAce may be trust ed to cut loose with n fresh rumpue about nothing la particular.

The selection of a site for the armory baa been anally made and' tbe matter Is settled beyond queatlon or criticism. The Georgian ban bad no preference of Ita own In this matter and iy>w that the site haa been choaen we can any without Insincerity that wc lie- lleve that tt baa been wisely and discreetly selected. There can be uo doubt that the alto chosen Is nearer perhaps to the center of tbe whole city than any other site under consideration. It will be more easily reachcd from the business Center tban any other site and will subserve the convenience perhaps of a greater number of people. It la alao true that this site meets the great end of maintaining the equilibrium jietwoon tbe two sections of tbe city on either aide of the railroad and that no sectional jealousy over the propundorance of one aide over the other can be aroused by the Anal decision of tbe council In the matter. - — , ^ It there be any criticisms of the Immediate surroundings of tbe new site for tbe auditorium. The Georgian Is of tbe opinion that this Is an ob jection which will rapidly settle Ueelf mid regulate tateW to the full Mile- faction of the public. There can be no doubt that the erection of this great building on that particular apot will greatly Improve the class and quality of the building* erected there. The mere fact that this site will become the center of ao many gathering* and of such frequeut assem blies of Urge and representative numbers, will make a most eligible point tor Ibo erection of such business establlahmcnU of character and repute ns will attract, the custom of tbe represcnUtlve crowd* that gather there. And ao the Auditorium-Armory will undoubtedly Improve that section of tho oily ao rapidly In the character of Its buildings and ot Ita population that the only poealble objection to be urged against It will lie speedily mat and cured by the existpnee or the Auditorium-Armory Itseir. We think that tho council has done well and tbat the public will every year have an lucrenalng satisfaction In the discretion and Judg ment displayed In the choice of an armory site.

Tbe recognition of Atlanta as the renter of tho Southern world of amateur sports haa gone band In hand with the recognition of the^posl- tlon of the South In national ainrtlng life. The Southern Association of llnecbatl League* ha* been placed lu Claaa A, along with the best leagues In the country, barring only tho Na tional and American leagues, and each year these two big organisa tions come to tbe South to select tbr beat ot thetr recruit* for the com ing season's try outs. Aa the home of the siurtsmen I he Southland la becoming more and more recognised among the people of America. Ha forest* and Held* still teem with game blrda.

At tbe meeting of the National Lawn Tennis. Association which waa held Tuesday night at New York eecognltlon of the |K>*lt|nn of the South ern tennis player* came In u way which was unexpected—to tbe Northerners at leant. L. I). Scott, of Atlanta, secretary of tbe Southern l-ivtn Tennis Ate soclatlnn and n member of the board of director* ot the National Associa tion. asked that the winners of Ihe Southern doubles championship be granted nnd next year the winners alnat tho Rastem and Western cham pions for th* championship of fho I'nlted Stales. This request waa granted and next year the wlners of Ihe doubles tnurmhiicnt which will he held In Atlanta will be sent lo Newinri. or whatever point Is de- rlded'iipou. and all tbelr expense* paid by the Somhern Association. .Tbla fact will lend a very great Interest to Hie doubles tournament. The fact .that the winner* are to have such a trip, expense* free, and the privilege of playing for the nallonal championship will draw the best tennis player* uf ihe country lo Atlanta tor the tournament.

President Johnson Let me call the attention of Geor* gisnn to some quotations from the market pages of our dally papers, and let me beg*of you to give them some thought. ‘in the first place, let me recall the fact that I have Insisted throughout the season that our best grade of cot- nn should bring not less than 12 1*2 cents; It has been and Is now worth every cent of It. It Is worth It either front the standpoint of the grower, from that of supply nnd demand, from the price At which goods ere selling, or from the profits which the mills are making, . “Note the following from a recent Issue of The New York Commercial: prosperity. But here Is the point: There Is In the results he is getting, the profits he Is making, proof that he coutd nfford to -pey, us 13 l-s cents for our cotton.
