FOR LACK OF FUNDS
A meeting of the trustees of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial College
was held Thursday at the Kimball
House for tho purpose of hearing the
report of the building committee. This
report showed that all of the work had

by that time the entire appropriation
of (27,500 will have been exhausted and
that there will then be no money for
furniture or heating apparatus. For
this reason It was found necessary to
delay opening the new dormitory until
next September.

The Examination
of the Northwestern Mutual Life by the Wisconsin
legislative committee was the most searching aud
microscopic investigation to which a Life Insurance
Company was ever subjected. Aft'er eleven months
of relentless and determined scrutiny, conducted by
mathematicians, expert accountants and legal coun

honest transaction by any officer or employe of the
Company, although the examination covered prac

This type of management shows itself in results
