belief of Ut'a school official that
the day Is near at hand when
Oeorgla will make great leaps In

educational system than has ever
before existed In this common
wealth.
During the coarse of Ms remarks
Mr. Ballard Informed hie hearer*
of the fact that Oeorgla Is a state
that Is constantly being built up.
This point he emphasised by a
description of the building-up pro
