Something About South’s Educational Institutions
COLLEGE
SECTION
WITH THE WANING OF THE LAST MONTH OF SUMMER,
THOUGHTS OF OLD AND YOUNG TURN TO EDUCATION
Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas Boast As
Fine Schools and Colleges As May Be
Found in America.
E ven though the weather la In a
torrid state, theunlnds of a great
number ot people are turning to
matters educational, for within the
next two weeks or a month the various
public schools, private schools, Instltu.
tlona and colleges throughout the
South will open tbelr doors for an
other and more successful rear. The
term promises to be the greatest the
colleges and schools have *enjoyed. The
.advances which have been made are
little short of remarkable, for the day
has passed when argument Is made
against a college education.
Jt Is at this season of the year when
the parents of the young men and
young women do the thinking. Their
minds are concentrated In an effort to
select for their boy or girl the best
Institution for the moral, physical and
educational advancement of their chil
dren. The question Is by no means an
easy ape. It Is an undisputed fact that
some colleges are better than others.
It la also an undisputed fact that all
colleges are good. This condition Is
created by the fact that each college Is
striving to be the best. This laudable
rivalry has tended to a keen competi
tion In an effort to supply the man and
woman with thp most desirable founda
tion for future business cares and
household duties.
South’s Rapid Advance.
No section of the country has ad
vanced more rapidly in the educational
world than has the South. Time was
whence youth’s or young woman's ed
ucation was Incomplete unless he or
rhe should attend’ some Northern col
lege or university. This has ceased to
he the case, for the reason the South
ern colleges have not only kept pacs
wit’, the march ot events, but nave In
matt Instances led the way to a
broader conception of the ennobling In
fluences of life.
There are many young men and
young women who regard a college ed.
ucatlon as a frolic. They are attract
ed to college In the hope of having a
good time. It Is fortunate that the
superficial In them has this tendency.
When they enter college they are Im
pressed with the more serious duties of
life and gradually but sytrely are made
ITANT SHIFT
EBYTHE ROYAL
to realise that It Is not a game of
blind man's bluff, but a responsibility.
They are Impressed with the fact that
to cope successfully with this respon
sibility they must be prepared. And
then begins their gradual change of
thought and habit which at the close of
the session has broadened and devel
oped until a careless boy or girl comes
out with tbe Arm foundation upon
which to build life's castle.
There are a large number it pre
paratory schools, business colleges and
other Institutions open to those who
must secure an education In the Short
est possible time In order that they
may enter at once upon the sterner
duty of earning a livelihood. In order
to call attention to these schools and
colleges. The Georgian has prepared a
special edition, which It presents to
day. The list was carefully looked over
and the best Institutions In the South
selected. The officers of some of them
saw fit to be represented; others did
not. Some of those colleges that are
not represented are probably as go,id
as those that are. It Is our wish,
however, to call particular attention to
those whose advertisements we have
printed.
There have been many differences of
opinions os to which Is more Impor
tant, a college education for young men
or a college education for girls. The
young man must be prepared for earn
ing a livelihood for himself and a fam
ily. The young woman must prepare
herself for household duties and the
education of her children. Environ
ment has more perhaps than any other
one thing to do with the future of the
young.
Chances for Young Man.
The young man need have no fear as
to educational opportunities. The Uni
versity of Georgia, Georgia School of
Technology, Mercer University, Geor
gia Military Academy, North Georgia
Agricultural College and many others
offer opportunities for literary, tech
nical and scientific courses. Graduates
of these various Institutions may be
found all oyer the United States, and
be It said to the honor of the colleges
that the college men, as a rule, have
taken the lead In matters scientific and
commercial.
As to the women, they can be as
sured of every chance of advancement
at such Institutions as Wesleysn Fe
male College, Brenau College-Conser
vatory, 8horter College, Cox College,
Agnes Scott and our own Washington
Seminary,' not to speak of the many
preparatory schools, such as Miss
Hanna's and Miss Prather’s.
Then there are the business colleges,
where bookkeeping, shorthand and
commercial courses are taught. Three
or four of this class of Institutions are
located here In Atlanta. Among them
are Bagwell's Business College and
School of Shorthand, which has what
It claims to be the latest and best
system of shorthand In their Chartler;
Crichton's Business College and School
of Shorthand, which teaches the Mun
son system, together with a method re
cently worked out by Professor Crich
ton, and the Southern Shorthand and
Business University, which Instructs Its
pupils In- the Graham system.
The Older Colleges.
Weeleyan Female Colleys at Macon,
Ga., has the dlotlnctlon of being the
oldest female college In the United
States. It was founded many, many
years ago, and the believers In Wes
leyan contend that she has token full
advantage of her early start by keeping
far ahead of all other female colleges.
Then there Is the University of Geor
gia, over at Athens, which has gradu
ated men who have come to be the
most distinguished dtlsens not only
of Atlanta, but of the South. The boys
who have attended ''Georgia'' and be
come proud wearers of the red and
black have developed Into sturdy young
manhood, seasoned middle age and
sound counsellors In the evening of
life. Youngsters are following In their
footsteps, until today there Is no proud
er distinction In the South than to be
referred to as "So and So, of Ga. 1
Hard by, apd located In the same
beautiful little city, Is Lucy Cobb, n
college for women, rich In memory of
line training, which developed Into well
doing. The destinies of the college have
long been presided over by the most
capable and distinguished teachers pro
curable. From out the ranks of Lucy
Cobb girls have come noble women
to Inspire young manhood to greater
and more ambitious efforts In life.
The Georgia Tech.
Out at the north end of Atlanta Is
located the Georgia School of Tech
nology. What graduate's cheeks fall
to tingle with delight and his heart,
even though Its pumping ability la not
quite as fast as It once was, when he
hears that magic word, "Tech?’’ lie
entered the Institution because he had
a love for things mechanical. He came
out, developed In mind and body, more
mature In thought, seasoned In a spirit
of comradshlp, fitted to face life un
flinchingly, for he knew hlpuelf and
his trade. Tech men are today capable
of great earnlr - ** * ' " "
the things they
tlon.
ltlght out here at Decatur, at our
very door, l< Agnes Scott College, an
Institution founded In love by a great
and philanthropic cltlxen, and which
has been fostered and brooded along
the same lines. Agnes Scott numbers
her graduates by the score. Her
buildings and grounds are among the
most beautiful In the South. Her cur
riculum Is of the very beet. Recently
she was advanced from an Institute to
the larger, and more complete form of
college.'
Out at College Park Is another great
Institution for young ladles. It Is Cox
College, which for many years was lo
cated at LaOrange, Ga., but moved
several years ago to Its present lora
tlon. In order that It might enjoy the
advantage of being In close proximity
to Atlanta while having the seclusion
and peacefulness of a beautiful suburb.
Immediately aoroes the beautiful
driveway Is located the Georgia Mili
tary Academy. The boys are taught
not only the things contained In books,
but they are held to the rule of obedi
ence, that bad habits might not be
come their master. The G. M. A. boys
ere trained carefully, and are among
the sturdiest and most promising man
hood In the state. •
Shorter College at Rome.
Up at Rome, the Hill City, Is located
Shorter College. Shorter enjoys the
distinction of being located upon
hill which overlooks the beautiful blue
Ooatanaula river, the muddy and fasci
nating Etowah. Both join forces to
form the Coosa river. The mountain
air Is refreshing. Invigorating, while
the healthfulness of the location Is as
sured. The mental and physical train
ing of the young ladles Is looked after
with the utmost care.
The University School for Boys Is lo
cated at Stone Mountain, Ga.. it miles
from Atlanta. It was founded along
those same lines ns have made Its gran
ite foundation famous. It Is a home
and school combined, being removed
from the temptations of a city, but
equipped with a magnificent gymna
sium and other things which furnish
ample attraction for the boys. The
school Is limited to eighty pupils.
There Is the Alabama Brenau, lo?
rated at Eufaala, Ain , which Is a high-
Kind 'hi ■ -u-.-i valor ■ ' ■
ladles. The, college offers a thorough
course In literary, together with ad
vantages In music, art and oratory.
Ing, located upon a magnlfl
cent elevation. There are many at
tractions, among them being one com
bined with Instruction In an orchestra
of fifteen Instruments. The Alabama
Brenau haa made an enviable record
for herself, and la being liberally pat
ronised.
Georgia's Brsnsu,
Tbs Brenau College-Conssrvatory of
Music, located at Oalnesvllle, Ga., has
won for Itself a name and reputation
second to none In the South. The col
lege buildings are located In beautiful
Hall county, (4 miles from Atlanta, and
afford avery comfort and convenience
known to modem times. The Institu
tion Is equipped with a corps ot teach
ers, every one of whom has a reputa
tion for ability. Brenau haa brought
South some of the most famous musi
cians, both vocal and Instrumental, In
the United States, that the pupils
might be afforded the advantage of re
ceiving Instruction from masters. Grad
uates are going forth every year with
everything possible having been done
to make of them cultured, refined
young women.
Selsntlfio and Business.
The Marlst College, now well known
to Atlantans, summarises the good It
has been doing to the community In the
ad. printed In this Issue of The Geor
gian. Its students are noted for their
Physical health and vigor; for their
thoroughness In their studies, for their
air of gentleness and refinement.
The body Is glvsn ssparals attention
—a thoroughly equipped gymnasium, n
spacious enmpus with arrangements for
athletics and outdoor sports which are
obligatory, a physical Instructor exclu
sively employed In this department, are
the means which have conduced to the
better health of so. many of the boys.
The professors sll have In view the
development far more than the furnish
ing of the mind, nnd aim constantly at
Imparting mental power rather than
knowledge.
But development of character, the In
crease of the sense of responsibility and
ths capacity for Independent action are
made paramount by the Marlst fathers.
And this Is possible only when the
building and strengthening of character
are made dependent on religion. The
Marlst College Is Catholic In principle
and In tone, yet non-Catholtca are wel
come, and are treated with fullest def
erence In matters religious,
The Marlst Collage, has lately af
filiated with the University of Georgia,
and consequently with the Georgia
School of Technology, This means
that Its graduated high school students
are admitted to the freshman class of

GIRARDEAU CASE
CAUSES RILEY CO,
TO BOLTJXCHANGE
Declare Members Broke
Agreement in Moving
Against Broker.
_ Manager Milton Dargan, of the
Royal Insurance Company, returned
this week from a trip .to New York,
where with other prominent under
write™ he was In conference with the
officers of the Southern Cotton Oil
t'ompany concerning the Insurance of
their lines. Chief Engineer T. E. Mac-
Knight and R. T. Burdette, tbs sprin
kler expert of the Southeastern Tariff
Association, also attended tha confer
ence and were consulted concerning
improvements in the fire protection of
cotton mills and oil refineries.
Manager Thomas Egleston, of tbe
Hartford Fire Insurance Company. Is
absent from the dty on s vacation trip.
He spent lost week in New York city
end has gone now to the Maine woods
for a month.
Following the action of the city re
corder last week In levying a fins of
ISO on C. H. Girardeau for doing an
Insurance brokerage business without
a license, Mr. Girardeau has declared
hie Intention of carrying the case to
tbe superior court and higher if nec
essary, and haa appealed from ths de
clalon given against him.
The firm of J. I* Riley A Co., for
which Mr. Girardeau was acting as so
licitor, has served notice upon the At
lanta Fire Insurance Exchange that It
will on September t withdraw Its
agreement with that body by which It
observed all the rules and practices
held to by the agencies of the city, and
will hereafter maintain an entirely In
dependent attitude. It la claimed by
the firm that the action of the other
locdl agents In making objections to
the employment of Mr. Girardeau was
s violation of the firm’s agreement
with the exchange, In that Mr. Girar
deau was accepted ts a solicitor by
the other agents when the agreement
was made and that his status was per
fectly understood at that time.
The other local agents on the other
hand take the position that they have
made no fight on the Riley agency or
Mr. Girardeau In this connection,- but
that the Interpretation of the ordinance
has bean made by tbe city authorities,
sqd that their appearance In tbs mat
ter was simply to prevent tbs repeal of
ths brokerage ordinance which had
been asked. It Is stated, by Riley A
C °Whlle it Is a rule of the exchange
that solicitors should give tbelr entire
time to the fire Insurance business. It
Is claimed by Mr. Girardeau that the
ordinance under which be wu convict,
ed was framed far the express purpose
of applying only to brokers represent
ing companies not licensed In the state
and which paid no taxes.
The resignation of Riley A Co. makes
the first break In the ranks of ths local
board, which has been In existence now
for two years. It Is not thought, how
ever, that local conditions will be dis
turbed by the breach.

Strictly Business.
Those who are Interested In what
might bo termed strictly business, will
be Interested In the announcements
made today by ProfOeaor Bagwell In
the half-page advertisement of hie
school and college.
This school Is teaching a system of
shorthand which promises to revolu
tionise stenography. •
It has already been adopted by many
of the leading business colleges of the
United Staten, among them being East-
man's, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. These
kchoofs claim that the system le
briefer than any other, can bs written
more easily and accurately, can be
mastered In one-half the time and con
sists only of the alphabet and ten sim
ple rules which almost, any one can
understand and easily comprehend.
Mr. J. O. Bagwell, president of tbe
school, recognises the dangers anil
temptations to which young men are
subjected In coming from tne country
to a large city, where they are free
from parsnlal authority. In order lo
shield them rrom temptations to Idle
ness and dissipation a dormitory haa
been established In connection with
the college, which furnlehes a whole-
enma discipline and board at actual
cost.
This school Is equipped with every
facility for the best possible work and
employs the .very latest methods
known to commercial Instruction, In
stenography as wall as In banking nnd
bookkeeping.
