GEORGIA, HER COLLEGES
The state is becoming more aroused over the insti-
tutionfe of higher education and their treatment in
the way of appropriations than ever before, and as a
general'rule the comment is in favor of gmng to
these institutions, the University, Georgia Tech, the
Agricultural College, Georgia Woman’s College, the
South Georgia Normal, the State Normal and a
otlyjr state colleges monoy enough to support them
^The'following editorial from the Augusta.Herald
goes into the situation as it applies tothe Unitteirsity
and brings out some potent facts relative thereto.
Among the many problems that will facei the com-
inc session of the Georgia legislature is the. question
of what is the state going to do for ‘^^‘vGeorida
Georgia. One thing stands out prominently Georgia
must adequately support the State Umversity or the
univfcrsity will be gradually starved *° d ®? th V, ni
Georgia is not going to adequately support tf je Um-.
.versity for the future, then perhaps it were beat to
withdraw all interest in such an institution and turn
it over entirely to private interests—make it a gut to
its alumni and place entirely its future and its man
agement outside the control o£ the state". However
revolutionary such a suggestion may seem, it would
be infinitely better for the state to pursue such a
course than to continue the treatment from' year to
year of gradual starvation that it has long meted out
to the university.
Here are some of the outstanding facts of the sit
uation that confronts the State University. Rs on*
rollmcnt has increased from 531 in 1910 to 1,550 in
. 1922, and yet the state has made no effort to meet
the demands of this greatly increased enrollment
either in proper increase of maintenance funds or in
providing the nicciBsary buildings .to house and to
teach this large student, body. Manifestly such a
condition cannot continue, longer. ,
As to Georgia’s support of her State University we .
. find that last year she appropriated for maintenance
of both the State Agricultural College and the Uni
versity at Athens the sum of $165,000. Compare this
pitiful-sum with whht-other southern states are/loing
fofttheir universities. ' Here they are :
Virginia ? 661,000
. North Carolina 1,000,000
’ South' Carolina . - . 477,000
Florida 400,000
Kentucky 89(k000
Texas.. ... .. .. i. 739,000
Louisiana .. .. .. 860,000
Maryland .. .. .. 671,000 .
Arid Georgia foots the. list with the meagre and
entirely inadequate appropriation for yearly main
tenance of $165,000.
Boys and girls form every one of the 160 counties
in the state save one-are in attendance this year at
the State University. The high schools arc turning,
. out more and'more students each year who are de
manding an education at the State University. Un-
; less proper funds for maintenance are granted by
the state and unless additional buildings are pro
vided, these hundreds and thousands of Georgia
boys and girls will be Henlcd these higher educa
tional advantages by the state of Georgia, which
are, however, furnished by dll'pf our sister states of
the south to their o\vn bpys and .girls. Certainly
no more important and pressing question can come
before the legislature at this session than the prob
lems of what the state is going to do for the increas-
; ipa thousand* of her own' children who are clamor
ing for the advantages and.benefits of a college edu
cation and training at the-State University.
For years Georgia has appropriated more money
than she has raised by taxation; Many of her .ap
propriations have not been paid because the state
treasury has not had the money with which to do so.
A revision of the taxation system of the state must
be had in order to raise more revenue. When this is
done, then.perhaps, the legislature will recognize
the debt it owes to the 'high sehool graduates of the
state who in increasing numbers each year are

Presiding judges have many
queer experiences in the dis
charge ot their duties, espec
ially so kben it comes to deal
ing with juries. No one can ever
tell just what a jury will do and
when least expected*a verdict of
guilty is found and often when an
acquital is expected all expecta
tions of the courts and lawyers
are upset. A few days ugo, in
city court a man was on trial for
violating the prohibition law. The
evidence seemed conclusive as to
his innocence, but a verdict of guil
ty was returned. One ot the jury
men, so its Is alleged, stated that
this man did sell whisky and some

been if he had sold. That is one

young men-who have completed
their courses and have earned their
diplomas which are a badge of hon-

the ,commencement of 'a new era
in life and the serious side of life
must be accepted and the best that
is in these young men must be
put forward, if they succeed in the
Undertakings of professions and
business they may choose. College
days must be laid aside and their
thoughts and energies devoted to
the channels of the professions
and commerce- It is a big jump,
but the young man with grit, de

the jump safely and auccessfullly.

present need In Georgia.”

npsponslbility of the legislature

entitled to know the views of the

important question, and that this
meeting will render a service of
real value to the j wlic. and the
legislature.”
