UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL
Never in the history of the institution has the
opening been so auspicious as the session of 1923.
Over fifteen hundred young women of Georgia are
here coming from practically every county in the
state, and, it is believed that before the registration
is over there will be not less than two thousand en
rolled.
Ur. J. S. Stewart, superintendent, is to be con
gratulated on the wonderful showing which is ah in
dication of the high standard of the school and of
the reputation it enjoys throughout the state. Com
mencing in a small way some years ago, this school
has grown beyond all expectations and today it
ranks as the leading summer school of the southern
states.
One hundred courses is being offered for the term
which will last until August 24 and a faculty of
ninety-four members will direct the affairs of the
rchool during the session. Prominent educators
from this and other states in addition to members of
the faculty of the University, the State College of
Agriculture aftd the State Normal School have their
services employed in this school. The cream of the
educational profession has been selected by Dr.
Stewart and the students are to be congratulated on
the unusual assembly of talent for the teaching
' corps from whom they will receive the benefits, from
this wealth of knowledge and experience possessed
by the educators.
All Athens extends to the summer school students
a warm welcome during their stay in this hospitable
community and among the most generous citizenship
of the country.

CLEAN UP CITY HALL
The Banner-Herald suggests that the exterior as
well as the interior of the city hall building be pre
served and made more attractive.
City Coupcil has provided for the painting of the
roof of the city hall and tho interior, it is understood.
But, when the gentlemen of the council came to an
item of $750 for cleaning the city hall exterior they
balked. %
Of course, the councilmen want to save the city s
_ money and not spend it foolishly. However, it seems
L,-n-; to The Banner-Herald that it would be a practice of
economy to spend as much as $750, if It costs that
much, in cleaning the exterior of the building. This
« " work will not only make the structure much ipore
attractive but preserve it.
■ ■ If you will notice, someone, an expert, has given
' '* Captain Barnett a “sample job" on the corner facing
the federal building. It can be readily seen that if
—■ i * this same person will do such a job on the entire
E" exterior the city hall will be improved more than
! , $750 worth. - ,
It is hoped that council can find a way whereby
***•" the $750 can be provided for cleaning the exterior of
the city hall.
BOTH PITIFUL AND AMUSING
A humorous as well as pitiful story Is told in ^tjie
New York Times of last Sunday about the influx of
negroes from the South to that city. Thnt many of
these negroes are being lured away from their homes
in the South without having any idea of what they
are getting into is shown by the reference the article
makes to the utter “helplessness" of many of them.
In part tho article says:
“Among the first people in New York to discover
that thero was a migration of negro workers from ,
the South was the Travelers’ Aid Society. For the
last six months its aids have been kept busy, notably
at Pennsylvania station', trying to find homes and
friendf.- fhr these negroes, many of whom can neither
read (nor write, havo perhaps used up what money
’they had, and invariably have the address to which
they wish to go in their baggage. The negroes in
clude girls who frequently arrive without five cents
m , to telephono or pay their carfare.
“There ir. an influx of negroes the last of each
week. Thpy get here Saturday, or start Saturday and
! . \reach here Sunday, when all day long, the lower level
-■ at the Pennsylania Station is crowded with them.
Many come from small farms aiid they are utterly
■ ! helpless. Some of them havo made strange prepara
tions for city life.
“One woman from a farm came to join her husband
in Buffalo. He had come on six weeks , before and
u' sent for her. When she reached here she had '-no
money and the Travelers' Aid Society took care of
her while it telegraphed to the husband, who made
*" arrangements immediately for her to join him. Tho
-• woman had with her several chickens off the farm,
but in her prolonged journey they had lost their
freshness and their odor was anything but enticing,
/‘A man man who came to make lm home in the
■city: brought his wife and four children with hint
ituri'in tho baggage car all his provisions for city life
1 -—four pigs, no furniture and no trunks.
“A negro 80 years old had b’cen-sent for by ,his
daughters living on Long Island. He passed through
the society’s hand and duly reached them. But Long
Island did not please him and the society received an
snt message soon after to try to head him off as
daughters thought he had escaped and started
home. But they were just too late; ho had
the train. Ten days later a message from the
