Indeed, simply to be in her presence
was to be conscious of a sweet and
kindly influence.
To all the interests of her beloved
church and of the Woman’s Mission¬
ary Society, she was steadfastly
al and her sound judgment and in¬
telligent counsel was a conscious
ource of strength to thus- who were
her co-workers.
When we say that we miss her, that
we grieve because she is no longer
with us, and that we cherish the
memory of a long and helpful associ¬
ation together, we but feebly express
the emotions of love and sorrow
which stir within our hearts today.
We can never cease to rememhet
her and every thought of her pure,
unselfish life serves to strengthen
our belief that we shall see her again.
She is not dead, just asleep in Jusus,

Give Young Georgians Places and Opportunities
In Georgia to Use Their Brains and Talents, Urges
Charles J. Haden, and Economist
While the movement to utilize
raw materials for finished products
manufactured in Georgia is gathering
momentum, it would he well that con
slderatlon be given the retention of
one of the State’s greatest resources—
her young men and young women—in
the opinion of Charles J. Haden,
prominent lawyer and developer of
Georgia, head of the commission to
eradicate adult illiteracy and moving
spirit in several other expansion ac¬
tivities.
“Every year Georgia is turning out
well-equipped young men and young
women who are being lost to the State
liecauso we do not give them equal
opportunities for advancement in this
State with the opportunities they can
find In some of the States of the East
and Middle West.” Mr. Haden de¬
clared.
“Recently I read several articles tell¬
ing of what. Georgia men are doing in
New York and of what men and wom¬
en of Georgia are accomplishing in
various Industrial and business lines
and all of them were engaged in oth¬
er States than in Georgia.
"Now we have produced many
bright young men and bright
young women who will help shape the
destinies of the business, political and
civic life of our country. The thing
for us to do is to keep these developers
in Georgia or at least keep a large
portion of them here.
MUST HAVE CHANCE HERE.
To do this we must provide oppor¬
tunities for them to carry on their life
work on the same scale here that
they can in other States. We must use
these brains for the development of
Georgia instead of for the development
and advancement of our rival States.
Thore Is no limit to the expansion
ahead of Georgia If the proper people
are put behind the big movements.
We have the young people of brains
and Imagination, of enthusiasm and en¬
ergy and we are making no concerted
effort to keep them here or even to
see what ambitions they have or what
lines of work they are seeking. Every
year the big technical mills of the
East take away a large mini her of the
graduates of some of our leading in¬
stitutions. We pay all the expenses
of fitting these young people for their
life work and then make no suffi¬
cient effort to give them adequate op¬
portunity to do their work in their
native State.
“The movement to build more facto¬
ries In Georgia, to utilize GeoYgia raw
materials in Georgia factories and to
stimulate manufacturing of all kinds is
one that will bring many wonderful re¬
sults for this State. But one of the
outstanding results, one of the most

their native Stale.
‘■Our big manufacturing plants now
in operation are showing every year
much interest in the young men. and
women who are graduated from our
institutions, and I have yet to learn
where any of these young men have
failed to make good. Doubling and
tripling the number of industries in
Georgia means simply the doubling
and tripling of opportunities for the
future big men and women of this
Slate. This broadening of scope will
mean that more of our young js-ople
will remain here and will use their tal¬
ents for their own State instead of
devoting the best, efforts of their lives
toward the upbuilding of other States,
MOVEMENT IS NOT SELFISH.
“There is nothing selfish in this
move. Other States am working ail
the time to keep their young people
at home and are offering them first
chance at the opportunities. This nat¬
urally limits the number who would
come to Georgia, hence, in self-protec
tion, if for no other reason, we should
strive to keep as many of our young
people In Georgia as possible.
“Aside from the industrial field, we
have the greatest agricultural oppor
tunities in the South, we have as much
valuable land undeveloped as any
Southern State, anil we can find places
in farm activities for the graduates of
all the Southern agricultural colleges
combined. Yet on examination we find
G eorgia men, educated in Georgia in
sfittitlons at work in agricultural ex
tension and educational work in all
the other Southern States and in man
States of the North. If we could con
eentrate tills powerful force on our ag¬
ricultural problems, it would not tu¬
bing until ail the dreams of diversified
farming, stock raising, packing plants,
tobacco culture, orchard management
dairying and kindred lines would come
true many fold.
“Our leaders in educational, irnius
trial, agricultural and political thought
should give this matter serious at
tention,” Mr. Haden concluded. “It is
one of the bedrocks of future progress
because a brainy Georgian, working in
Georgia, familiar with Georgia conili
tions, is equal to at least two brainy
people from other States who do not
understand our methods and traditions
and who would have to waste several
years In becoming localized. Keep
Georgia brains In Georgia and it won !
be long until the old State will hum
In progress In all lines.”
