A committee of two from each state
wah hpnolrted to drsw up a campaign

With the roply from the Texas dele

tho federal government, which con
trols tho border, and not with Texas.
State-wide Interest and enthusiasm
has grown out of the movement start
ed by Mrs. George Moll, of this city,
during the first week In May to raise
by voluntary contribution from the
women of Georgia a "mother’s day’
emergency fund to meet the deficit
In appropriations for the State Nor
tnal school, which had resolved the
situation Into a crisis for the Instltu

For the first week the campaign waa
carried on largely through the indiv
idual efforts of Mrs. Mell by use of
the tedograph and telephono In order
to reach the leaders of women's clubs
and organisations and place the matter
before them in tho quickest way. Tho
dally papers gave generously of their
space to publicity and almost with
out exception made editorial comment
on the worth of tho movement.
' During the past wock the telling of
