THE NEEDS OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL
The State Normal School has grown beyond
„ grown beyond its
capacity and ouch year hundreds of deserving young
wotoen of Georgia are barred from its benefits for
the reason that every room in the dormitories ana
— even every foot of available class room space is oc
cupied. It is a most deplorable condition and onfc
which should receive the serious consideration of the
members of Jthe tax commission, the governor; and
through these officials brought to the attention ot
the legislature with a request for increased appro
priations for its support and maintenance.
Georgia can not afford to allow such a condition
to exist. The state is due something to the women
— and in no better way can it be shown than by, proper
ly supporting this institution and providing necessary
funds for dormitories and acedemic buildings. v f
A ten-year plan has been proposed which would
give to this school four dormitories and two acedemic
buildings and an increase in appropriation for main
tenance. Unless something of this kind is done by •.
the legislature, not only the school Will suffer, but
— hundreds of young women in this state will be de-
., prived of the training and an education which is
" owed them by the state.
This year nearly one thousand young women failed
to be admitted to this school for the reakon that the
capacity had been taxed to overflowing and many
of them, no, doubt, will not be able to go to other
states where thev would be required to pay entrance
fees. It is nothing short of a. calamity and .the
great state of Georgia should see to it that her young
women are given ,the opportunity of receiving an edu
cation of higher learning. .
“ • Each year the legislature should appropriate a
i sufficent fund for the building of at least an academ
ic building and a dormitory building for a period of
■ ■ ten years and during that time increase the main
tenance fund in keeping with the increased attend-
ance and additions to the faculty. No better invest
ment could be made by the legislators from the
state’s income than to provide an education for its
young women. It is a necessity ; it is right and
proper: it is due the women of Georgia and it is in
excusable on the piart of those in authority to fail to
'make proper provision for more buildings and in
creased appropriations for the support of this insti
tution which' is doing so touch gohd in this state.

"WHITES OUT OF THE SOUTH”
The Toledo Blade, a newspaper, published in the
center of the industrial middle west, ih an editorial
a few days ago discusses a different angle on the mi-
. gration both whites and blacks, from the south to the
north. This paper comments on the number of
whites, pure Anglo Saxons, migrating north and in
passing states that the section north of the Mason and
Dixon line has everything to gain and nothing to lose
for the influx.
The editorial in the Blade is as follows:
--- r "The Negro migration into, the North i» t«e specta
cular phase of a,very big movement. It receives all
the notice and discussion. But it is not the whole
story. Southern white men and women are migrat
ing also. Georgia, for example, has lost population
in the northern hill soction, and tho cities of tl e
state have not gained by it. The migrants have gone
elsewhere. -
“An attentive ear can catch the soft syllables of
southern speech in almost any northern community
• of size. In particular, the automobile manufactur
ing sections have been attractive to the unattached
young man. Thence they have diffused through
northern .centers, big and little. They have caught
the taste‘of wandering-a littlo belatedly, but' they
have no less zest fo.r it than their northern cousins
who seemed, a generation ago,-to be born only to flee
thp place of .their births.
“The North is now, and ought to be permanently,
the better for these new citizens. They are of the
purest of that Btock we speak of as American. Be
neath the easy-going customs of the southern white,
•••more traditoinal than native, is a surprising alert
ness. Change of climate seems to make it more ap-
. .. parent. The South has retained the old family al
legiance while it has been breaking down in the
"North. We haVe gained nothing to take its place
£„fand if the southerner can reintroduce it he will have
made himself all the more welcome. . As we have
gone farther and farther from the soil we have lost
that homely flavor it gives to Rpeecb. The south-
- enter still has it. It has-been like a breath out of a
t past rich in humor to hear some of these youngsters
*< from the Gulf. States express their opinions of Carl
in tankerous caw given over to them to bully into de-
w cency.
“Tho South is a bit ironical in remarking upon the
shifting of the Negro probletp. But it cannot say it
“Sf* Rained. The North has captured great numbers
of sinewy, straight-eyed, pleasing youngsters of
white complexion whose coming must mean a loss
to the South as it has meant a real acquisition above .
Mason and Dixon’s.”
Every day is a busy day with the merchant.
* It is said that the present value of the German
Mark is not worth the paper it is printed on.
