The Departments of the Georgia Nor
mal and industrial College—it Is
One of the State’s Best
Institutions.
We, tbe Board of Lady Visitors ap
pointed by Gov. Northern to investigate
tbe various departments of the Geoigia
Normal and Industrial College, after
critically and thoroughly examining
the work and mode of study done there
during the term ending Jnne 22, submit
the followii g report to Bis Excellency:
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
This depar tment embraces book-keep-
ii g. dressmakir g, typewriting, stenog
raphy, cooking and domestic economy,
telegraphy, industrial drawing, disign-
ii g, and clay modelling.
An opportunity is here presented and
is beirg zealously seized by tbe grls to
prepare then. Belves lor practical and
uteful livess.
BOOK-KEEPING.
In the depai tment of beok-keeping,
the Williams and Rogers system is
taught. The course adopted fits the pu
pil to enter any business house or count
ing room and take charge of a set of
books with ease. At tbe close of the
session the class consisted of twenty
two pupils, five of whom received certi
ficates of oroticiency. From the teach
er’s report we find a good many began
tbe course and thin dropped it. We
would advise that gills be discouraged
hfginning book-keeping or any other
brunch taught in the Industrial depart
ment unless fully determined to pursue
U to completion.
DRESSMAKING
The dressmaking department Jspopu
lar with the gills. The Taylor system
is taught, and the pupils are required to
do their own drafting and cuttirg
Owing to the large number oi pupils
and the limited time Boriie have had for

who have given more time to work we
found wonderfully profit ient The
dresses worn by the girls on commence
ment occasions were almost entirely the
work of their own hands, and were
beautiful in design and finish.
Lessons.in plain sewing are given as
well as in artistic dressmaking There
have been fifty-eight regular pupils in
this branch. No certificates were given
as the standard is high.
Quite a number of the girls have aided
in defraying their expanses by earning
money from taking in sewing. We con
sider this one of the most important
branches taught in the college. Owing
to a lack of fundB the necessary appli
ances for the room have not been sup
plied. We find the loom in need of the
following articles: Two mirrors,several
dress forms (f different sizes, and acabi-
net of lock drawers in which the girls
can store their work.
STENOGRAPHY, TELEGRAPHY, TYPEWRI
TING.
The stenographic depai tment, teleg
raphy and typewriting are under the
management of one teacher. This de
partin' nt is well equipped and splendid
work has betn done in it. Twenty-one
pupils were ii strutted in stenogra
phy, thirteen in typewriting and ten in
telegraphy. The requirements for a
certificate in stenography are a speed
of eighty wtf^s at the rate of twenty-
five per minute. As this is a high stand
ard and a9 msny of the girls had only
six months training no ceitificates were
given, but some of the young ladies at
tained such degrees of excelleLce that
it is but a question of a little more prac
tice and experience when they will be
able to receive ceitifioates.
COOKING.
This department is under the man
agement of a skillful teacher, who
teaches Physiology, Hygiene, and the
Chemistry of cooking, in connection
with the practical work. Tbe girls are
taught the different properties of foed
and their effects on the different organs
of the body. Tbe cooking room con
tains a cabinet, where tbe teacher can
point out the various ingredients con
tained in a pound of most articles of
foed. The -prt pci ties contained in a
pound ol betf and of almost all other
articles of feed are separated and bot
tled, and the girls are taught the food
value cf each. Lessons are also given
in the important matter of marketing
and in the general subject cf domestio
economy. Forty were instructed in
this department. They were organized
into three practice classes to receive a
two hour’s lesson each week. Lessons
in cooking are compulsory in the high
er classes. What a benefit these lessons
wiii be to the hundreds of dispt ptics
scattered over the State, Mu.'cle and
strength depends less upon what we eat
than upen how it is cooked.
DRAWING, DESIGNING, CLAY MODELING.
The entire school rcceivcainstrnotion
in freehand drawing, designing and
clay modeling.
Tae girls have made some beautiful
patterns for wall paper, carpets and oil
cloths. Also some designs for laces,
some of whioh have been sold to manu
factories. It is wonderful to see the
ouginahty displayed in some of these
designs. They trealeo taug-it the com
binations of colors, and the -tetcher
says it is gratifying to see how soon
they learn to combiue colors properly
aud to criticise a want of taste in their
tombiimions. This is one of the most
iuiertsiiug departments ia the college
l}t, and gives promise of great use-

fulness. This department is important
both as an educational factor and as an
industrial branch.
NOBMAL DEPARTMENT.
The Normal Department is divided
into several grades:
1. Beginning Normals, 24 pupils en
rolled.
2. Middle Normals, 25 pupils en
rolled.
3. Advanced NormalB, 27 pupils en
rolled.
Total number of pupils 70. Out of
bis number 45 have had experience in
teaching.
The examinations and promotions in
June, 1892, are as follows:
Beginning Normals, 17 examined, 16
passed.
Middle Normals, 20 examined, 17
passed.
Advanced Normals, 19 examined, 18
passed.
The number not examined, 19. Of
these 4 went home to teach, 2 left the
college on account of ill health, aud 13
droiped tbe study by permission of the
President, because of overwork in the
collegiate department, or to pursue
special industrials. Through the com
ing work of the graduates in this de
partment, we will see the cause of edu
cation elevated to a standard never yet
attained in the history in our beloved
State. This Normal School Department
is doirg the best work ever
done for tbe common schools of the
State.
MODEL SCHOOL.
This Fchool ia certainly a model of ex
cellence for youthful mind training,and
gives practical lessons in teaching to
the Normal students. It opened on
January 4th, 1892, with 36 pupils, from
six to fourteen years of age. The last
tiro monthr40 pupils have been in at
tendance. Tuition is charged children
in tbe Mcdel school, and tbe number is
limited to 40. This school is an adjunct
of the Normal Department. As the
means to sustain this Model school were
donated by Dr. J. L. M. Curry, agent
for the Peabody fund, it is designated
the Peabody Model School.
and each girl does her share of tbe
work, pays her pro rata part of the ex
penses which iLcludes the salary of tbe
matron. No servants are employed ex
cept cooks and a servant to bring in
fuel.
The girls put tbeir own rooms in or
der, set the table, bring in meals and
wait on the table, and wash tbe dishes.
Tie cost of board here during tbe scho
lastic year, ircluiling lights, fuel and
washing, has averaged $9.75 per mouthy
The old mansion not being large
enough’to -.ccomnodate all the pupils
a large number have boarded with
private families .at $12.50 per month.
There has been no trouble arising from
this, as Prof. Chappell has heen ex
tremely careful to place the girls in the
best families, where they have been just
as safe as at home. We are gratified to
be able to report that an addition is be
ing made to the boarding department
which will enable it to accommodate,
during next session, 130 boarders.
It would be to the interest of the
College and of tne State if it had a
boarding department that would ac
commodate 300 girls, to be managed
upon the co-orperative plan.
. The attendance during the year has
been 213. A large number of these, we
are informed, are defraying their own
expenses. Some have made money
teaching fchool. Free tuition, cheap
board and small dress bills, whioh is tbe
result of the rule requiring all to wear
the college uniform, have brooght tbe
advantages of the College in reach of
| many who would never have been able
to secure an education.
We learned from one young lady who
had made the money to attend the col
lege, teaching a country school, that
her entire expenses for the year,includ
ing board, books, clothing, washing
railroad fare and incidentals, was $150.-
85. The expenses cf a course at the
Georgia Normal and Industrial College
is so small that it encourages every
poor and ambitious girl to make an ef
fort to attend, and appeals to IheMhev-
olent to render aid to the struggling
young women who without an educa
tion most devote their lives to drudgery.
ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENTS.
In tbe departments of music and
painting which embraces pastel, oil and
crayon work, tuitions are charged. The
character of the work done and the pro
gress of the pupils in these departments
have been excellent. We recommend,
however, that more attention be paid to
vocal music.
COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.
The oourae in this department is
more thorough and comprehensive than
has heretofore been required of young
ladies. Every braneh is taught by am
bitious and talented teachers. The
girls are required to master each study
before being allowed to pass to another.
In the langusges, English studies, tbe
sciences and mathematics, tbe teachers
do not confine themselves to the text
books, but elucidate the text and enrich
the course from tbeir own stores of in
formation. The mathematical course is
especially fine.
The old Executive mansion is used
aB a boarding department and accom
modates 54 girls. It is in charge of a
matron who receives a salary. Tbe

Sloan Hold* the Fort.
Lebanon, Tenn., July 29.—Frank
Sloan, who killer United States Store
keeper and Ganger Ballinger, still holds
the fort. Parties from Cookeville, just
arrived, state that Sloan is still in hia
cabin, with twenty or twenty-five arm
ed men, defyiug arrest and drinking all
the whisky he can get. All the federal
officers have left the town. No effort is
being made by local officers to effect his
arrest. They claim not to be afraid of
him, bnt do not want to hart him. The
fact seems to he that he has the whole
country terrorized.
lie Made Some Grave Assertions Rela
tive to Drunkenness Among Members.
Washington, July 29.—The World’s
Fair matter was delayed in the honse
by a question of privilege raised by Mr.
Wheeler of Alabama, relative to certain
statemenss containen in a campaign
boom recently published by Representa
tive Watson of Meorgia, reviewing the
action of the present congress and posi
tions taken by its members in the past.
The honse is in a state of great confu
sion resulting from the assertions by
Mr. Watson that every word written in
the book to which Wheeler referred was
literally true, and that he stood here
ready to defend every word of them.
The assertion was greeted with pro
longed hisses, as the words charge that
drunken members reel through the aisles
and drunken members speak upon grave
measures.
Mr. Watson reiterated his assertion
as to the trnth of the statement made
by him, and defied the honse to do with
him what it wished.
Mr. Boatner introduced a resolution
calling for the appointment of a com
mittee to investigate the truth of Mr.
Watson’s charges, and to recommend
what coarse shall be taken with respect
to the member, if the charge is found
to be true. „
The house is in a state of great ex
citement over Mr. Watson’s language
for which he was promptly called to or
der by Mr. Tracy of New York, who
was greatly indignant over the whole
sale charge upon the house.
Mr. Watson was permitted to explain
his language.

A Bicycle Law Salt.
Bloomington, Ills., July 29.— Harber
Bros, of Bloomington, wholesale deal
ers in bicycles, have begun a suit for an
injunction against Moffatt Bros, of Chi-
cago, to restrain that firm doing busi
ness in Cook county and afeo irr several
counties in sonthefn Illinois. The plea
is that Harber Bfos. have a contract
with the Moffatt company for the ex
clusive sale in the territory. Harber
Bros, also began a suit against Moffett
Bros, for $10,000 for violation of con-
tract.
A Misplaced' Molar. -—
Nevada, Mo., July 29.—Veterinary
Surgeon F. B. Howard, has extracted a
molar tooth from the ear of a colt in
.this city. This is one of the rarest cases
on record, but one similar case being
known to veterinarians as having been
encountered in this country. In that
instance the tooth was extracted from a
horse’s hoof. The colt here is well de
veloped and in fine health, and stood
the operation well.
When Greek Met Bast.
A Greek vesselwas lying at anchor not
long since in a harbor in the Black sea,
and being a rather suspicions craft an ex
cise officer was ordered to keep watch on
its movements. The captain was anxious
to perform some illegal operation with his
ballast, but he found it impossible to es
cape the vigilance of the officer, so deter
mined to make it worth his while to wink
both his eyes. As, however, the Russian
understood no Greek and the Greek was
quite ignorant of Russian, the proposal had
to be made in dumb show. After indicat
ing in pantomime what ho wanted to do
with the ballast the skipper wrote down
on a piece of paper, “ten rubles.” The
excise officer read the paper, and then
promptly wrote underneath it, “100
rabies.” This was more than the Greek
felt inclined to pay, and the negotiations
fell through. The affair, howeves, reached
the ears of the authorities, and tho Greek
was arrested. In court he “rounded” on
ms accuser by producing the document
which had been the medium of negotiation
between them.
“Did you write this?” asked the judge
of the witness, aa he pointed to the words
”100 rubles.”
fitolidl y answered the officer.
Then you demanded a bribe f” retorted
the judge in his severest tones.
"By no means,” answered the astute
Russian. “The prisoner offered me ten
rubles and I told him I would not do what
he wanted for 100 rubles.”—Boston Globe.
