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.

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.

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.
