Rosenwald Fund Will
Invest Ten Thousand
In College Next Year
WEST GEORGIA TO RECEIVE
BENEFITS FROM FUND
FOR TEACHING
The Rosenwald Fund, in coopera
tion with the University system of
Georgia, is undertaking a project
at West Georgia College in rural
education which will entail an an
nual expediture of ten thousand
dollars. All of this sum will be
spent in personnel, alone, for sup
ervising the training of rural teach
ers. President I. S. Ingram, who
proposed the project and under
whose supervision the money will
be administered, has a rich back
ground in rural education, having
spent the last twenty years teach
ing and directing rural schools.
For thirteen years he was princi
pal of the Carrollton A & M and is
author of “History of the A & M
Schools,” a work in which he
shows the rise of these schools and
their decline when they were no
longer needed in the several coun
ties of Georgia. As an administra
tor of the Carrollton A & M, he
made on? of the outstanding con
tributions to rural education. Since
the A & M schools were establish
ed, Mr. Ingram has worked con
stantly for the furtherance of rural
education and the improvement
of rural conditions in the program
that has already been going for
ward at West Georgia. The Rosen
wald Fund’s contributions are but
a recognition that this worthy pro
ject already on foot should be
broadened.
Chancellor Sanford has approved
the project with ths Regents of the
Universoty System, who will co
operate with the Rosenwald Fund
and the College in working out
their project. Dean W. F. Gunn,
head of the education department,
will supervise.
The aims of this project in rural
education are: 1. To cooperate with
the Carroll County Board in furn
ishing a supervisor for the rural
schools of this county. Miss Net
tie Brogdon, of Clarksville, expert
in rural education, now associated

College, of Valdosta, which also
invited the Convention to hold its
meeting in that city.
In a recent interview, Robert
Knox said, “All delegates with
whom I spoke gave the impression
that they had rather meet here
than at Valdosta, because the West
Georgian and I have shown a real
and genuine interest in the GCPA
and the other colleges just took it
for granted.”
The Convention which is expect

by Horton Greene, next year’s
Editor of the WEST GEORGIAN.
Also if held here, it will be the
first time that the Georgia Colle

Editor Robert Knox also said,
“This will be one step farther in
making the WEST GEORGIAN a
better-known newspaper and put
ting West Georgia on a national
basis.”
