for the te lefit of the agricultural commu
nity generally.
This monthly bulletin of your Secretary,
eontaining the analyse s of the various fer
tilizers, with their relative commercial
values, will be of fa r more value as a guide
to purchasers of fertilizers than any num
ber of certificates. By this method the
college will act as a knight to protect the
fanners against trickery and imposture.
To do the work we propose, to perfect
our plans, to build up, here in Georgia, a
great Scientific Institute worthy of ti e
Commonwealth, will require a large ex
penditure of money. Few persons know
how much money is required to build up a
University. In the es imation of many
SIOO,OOO is a large sum, and has been re
garded for half a century a sufficient en
dowment for the State University. The
views of such statesmen should expand
somewhat, when they reflect that the an
nual income of Harvard University is over
$200,000; that her annual giatuity, offered
to indigent students, is 'n excess of $20,000;
and that Yale, and Princeton, and Dart
mouth, and Cornell, and many others, have
annual incomes equal to the entire original
endowment of this State University.
To complete the plans in accordance
with our views, SIOO,OOO would be required
to purchase the appliances of instruction.
We need a conservatoiy, a botanical mu
seum, an agricu tural and physiologica
museum, a technical museum, modes of
engineering, with extensive pliysi al and
chemical apparatus.
All these appliance are needed, and must
be applied, if we desire no longer to be
content with small things, and are unwil
ling to stop just where we have begun. If
we wish to build up a good scientific Insti
tute that will extend its influence ovi r our
whole State and throughout the South, we
must stand shoulder to shoulder and go
forward; measuring »>ur demands, not by
the past, but by the necessities of the fu
ture ; knowing that no possible investments
made by the State or by the people can
yield such returns as that invested in de
veloping the brians of her sons.
Other States have given evidence of their
faith in the value of such investments.
According to the report of Commissioner
Eaton, of 1871, nearly nine million dollars
were contributul in that year to different
academies, colleges and universities. In
California, $2,000,000; in Connecticut,
$46,000; in Indiana, $537,000; in Massa
chusetts, $2,502,000; in New York,
$705,000; in New Jersey, $423,000, and
in Pennsylvannia, $310,000. These large
contributions are credited to the Northern
States; while opposite the names of the
Southern States we find paltry sums or
chilling blanks. Shall this mortifying con
trast continue ? Look at the maps issued
by the Census Bureau illustrating the dis
tribution of wealth and education in the
United States I What a binding link be
tween poverty and ignorance on the one
hand, and wealth and education on the
other I
The noc- ssity is upon us to move forward.
Amid so much activity and progress, Geor
gia cannot stand still. Her position, hei
honor, her future well being, demand that
her contributions shall be poured into the
lap of Science with no stinted hand.
But it is urged, this is not the time for
the State to render aid to science—not the
time for the people to give up their means
for educational purposes. The loss of pro
perly by the war, the poverty of the people,
is pleaded in extenuation.
Never was there a time more propitious ;
never was there a time when investments
in behalf of education would yield more
certain and richer returns.
i'lierc are two notable historical Instances
of founding institutions of learning in times
of g’cat distress, which are worthy of your
thoughtful consideration: In the year of
1575, the city of Leyden bravely withstood
that most memorable siege of the Span
airds. Bays the historian : “Leyden was
sublime in her dispair; she was reduced to
the last extremity. Women and children
all day long were seen reiuehing the gut
ters and dunghills *for morsels of food,
which they disputed fiercely with the fam
ishi"gd"gs. ’1 he green leaves were stripped
from the trees; every living herb was con
verted into human food. The pestilence
engendered by starvation stalked at noon
day through the city, and the doomed in
habitants fell like grass beneath its scythe.
At this critical hour Admiral BoteoL
favored by propit nous breezes, arrived with
his fleet. The siege was raised and th.
city saved; and then, in gratitude for re
lief, and in commemoration of their suffer
ings, the city crowned herself with flowers,
and, amid universal rejoicing, founded the
University of Layden. 'I hus, when the
sound of the S|wnish artillery -was vet
booming over the plains of Holland, in the
very darkest hour of the cuintry’s strug
gle, was trtablislnd in tlie Universit v,
which for three hundred years has illumi
nated the p th ways and dispelled the dark«
neM of ignorance.
Tn the year 180®, five years after the
University of Georgia waa founded, Fr< fl
rick Wi liam. of Prussia, after hi- defeat at
Jena, and shortly after he had signed the
treaty surrendering luff of Truss a. in this
hour of deepest gloom, when Prussia
< xisted only in name, issued Ins edict, “re
quiring the preparation of u plan for a
great Unhvtrity at Berlin,” ami onhrod
that lectures should begin as soon as the
last Frenchman should l ave left the city.
Thus, in the hour of Prussia's deep ’
despair, ft as planted the University of Ber
lin, a imivctsity which now gathers nithin
its walls, students from all parts of the
civilised globe.
The return for these in vestments, the
fruit borne by these and other German ‘
Unhvrsltlrs, has been nowhere made more ■
evident thau in the rnanif. station of power '
in the late Franco Prussian w ar—an exhi j
bition of marvelous skill ami power which !
Un e all the world wonder,
Al one of the first meetings of the French •
Academy, after the dore of the war, a dis- j
thiginshefl French sarau, in discussing the |
causes of their defeat, expreered the j
victkin that the humiliation of France area
due mainlv to the ntore general diffusion of
acirntifiv knowMgv In Germany.
What is the lesson taught by these his
torical facts in educational history ? Be we
men—be w e wise men ? Let us look through
the present to the distant future; let us de
vote our time, our talents, our money, to
the d ffusion of scion ilic knowledge among
the youth of the old Common wealth of
Georgia. In due time the golden fruit will
be borne.
It is a fact th t should be known, that
to csta lish this scientific Institute to teach
the so s of Georgia, not one dollar from
the State has been expended. The State
is the recipient of the bounty of the Gen
eral Government. And yet, with only a
portion of the avilable fund, the authorities
of the University have established this In
stitute, and a branch College in Northern
Georgia, and have educated in the past
year, free of charge, nearly three hundred
students. Well may the Trustees point
with pride to their work. N ore has been
accomplished here, with less money and in
less time, than in any one of the other
State s.
But this is but the beginning. What shall
be the end ? 'I hat, no man can so esce.
Colleges are more permanent than govern
ments. States, empires may come into ex
istence and become subjects of history, but
the institutions of learning, the colleges
and universities,' when once established,
exist thr ugh all the changes of peace and
wai, and outlive the governments that gave
them birth, ever working for the good and
advancement of humanity.
Then, in beh If of the present and future
gem rations, in behalf of civilization, in be
half of scientific and ( hristian education,
let me urge you to throw your strong arms
around this Institution—to build it up, not
to the interest of any town, not to the in
terest of any religious denomination, but in
the interest of Georgia; in the interest of
a broad Catholic Christianity; in the inter
est of humanity. Then, in coming years,
your children, and jo> r childrens children
shall gather richer harvests than ever fertile
fields produced—“harvests of higb-soulcd,
large-brained men ” —men who will cause
t e Georgia of the future to far su pass, in
a l that appertains to real greatness, the
historic honors of the Georgia of the past.

UNSOLICITED COMPLIMENTS.
From Atlanta Constitution, March 11, ’73.
■ Prof. Vincent, the Principal, isoneol
the leading eeucators of the State, and
the High School is rapidly taking its posi
tion in the front rank of educational in
stitutions,
From the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873.
This is an independent enteprise.*****
Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
his entire time and energies to that busi
ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure
air, good water and immediately on the
Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal ot
the Norcross High School.
From Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol
ar and experienced teacher.
From the Cartersville Standard.
We again say to our people that no bet
ter school can be had than this. Here
they get sound practical teaching, and
will be by the student thoroughly learned.

THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all the great
interests of our readers especially, and oi
our country and race generally.
To do that we promise to give them each
week the most important news, both
Foreign and Domestic ; the Market Re
ports and Atlanta Prices Current; the
Legal Sales of Gwinnett and a few other
counties,etc., and such Literary,Scientific,
Educational, Political, Agricultural and
Religious reading matter as we may from
time to time think most interesting and
profitable.
In Politics the ADVANCE will be
independent; but it will not be partisan,
nor do injustice to any party, oi indi
vidual, knowingly. Aud, as we hon
estly believe, that the first and chief care
of all Christians should be to defend our
holy religion against the wiles of Satan—
his hosts and taeir arms, we will discharge
this sacred duty, as best we can, under
the guidance of Him who is able to direct
aud keep us in the w ay of truth.
We will also studiously avoid giving
cause of offense to any professed Christian
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up any one branch of the Church
more than others, nor to injure any one ol
them.
OUR PLATFORM.
We believe that there is a per
sonal God—who created and over
rules all things—that Jesus Christ
is His Son and our Savior, and that
the Holy Ghost is His messenger
and our instructor.
That the Bible was written by
inspiration of God—is true—and
the only safe foundation for
Christian faith and practice.
That the soul is immortal—that
there will be a resurrection of the
dead and tinal judgment, and that
the punishment of the unre
deemed will be eternal.
And will insist, that all who
agree in these fundamental propo
sitions,and seek salvation through
Christ, constitute his Church, and
should all unite and co-operate ,
with Him, and each other, in the
sacred work of redemption, as an
affectionate family of brothers
and sisters.
