The State University.
Prof. J. S. Stewart, of the State
University attended the Farmers
Institute last week and visited our
public schools on Monday. , In
conversation with him he slated
that he was pleased with the evi
dence of promptness manifested
by principal Mauzy and his teach
ers. “Thoroughness of instruc
tion is the first importance if pu
pils are prepared for business or
college Students completing the
course here under these men
will have no trouble in entering
the university.”
In response to ofor inquiring
about the progress Df the univer-
sity he said: ‘The university is
enjoying the most successful year
n the were than a hundred years
of it IfflBMy. 332 students, are
now in atttndance and the entire
enrollment will go beyond '400.
Every dormitory room is occupied
and we are feeding over 200 at the
college dining hall at $7.90 per
month. You knew the rooms are
free, so a boy can get his board,
room, fuel, lights, laundry and fees
for about $125 a year. His other
little expenses may run the entire
cost to $150. Your senator and
representatives are to be congrat
ulated upon their efforts to bring
college education in the reach of
the poor boy. The rich boy
could always get an education. By
the building of the dining hall and
dormitories in the last two years,
the state has made it possible for
any ambitious boy to obtain the
best in education.
“Quite a number of different
courses are offers; among these
may be mentioned the classical,
the general scientific, civil and
electrical engineering, pharmacy
law, and three courses in agricul*
ture. The winter course in agri
culture embraces the months of
January, February and March.
The entire cost for this will. not
exceed $50. A young man who
took this course last year said that
he had more than made back what
he spent by the increased yield of
his farm, A man on the
farm needs special training as
much as does the lawyer or mer
chant and the university is offer
ing to Georgia boys as practical
and thorough courses in agricul
ture, horticulture, dairying animal
husbandry and gardening as can
be found in the south.
“Under the splendid manage
ment of Chancellor Hill, the moral
influences of the university are un
surpassed. Every one of the thirty
professors is a member of a church
and active in the same. They con
duct in turn the morning chapel
services, are active in the Y. M.
C. A. work, ahd three art Sunday
school superintendents. There is
no more cultured or better gov
ernered city than Athens. With
its three institutions of learning
where over a thousand students
gather annually, there is a distinct
ive literary atmosphere. It is a
privilege for a boy to be under the
guiding care of such a man
Chancellor Hill
“Last year, including the sum-,
mer school, over one thousand stu
dents attended the university,
while in the entire system, includ
ing the Tech., the Normal, Girls
Industrial, North Georgia Agricul
tural and the Medical College,
3,341 students were enrolled. This
gives some idea of the people’s ap
preciation of the advantages offer
ed by the state. Over 5,000 men
have gone out from this institu
tion at athens and the history of
these is largely the history of
Georgia. They are the best evi
dence of the worth of the training
given and of the characters devel
oped. One of the new features is
the great summer school in July
and August. Last year 670 teach
ers attended at a cost of #3.00 a
week for board on the campus. It
is fast becoming the rallying point
for Georgia teachers.
“Among those who have attend
ed the university from Decatur
county are: B. B. Bower, Jr., G.
G. Bower. W. E. Smith, W. H.
Krauss, M. E. Nussbaum, J. E.
Donalson, E. M. Donalson, Lu-
cipn Bower, M. E. O’Neal, D. L.
-6’Neal, T. S. Hawes, W. O. Flem-
iugv Oliyer McNair, Reuben Cha-
Son-.* These will organize an
alumni Chapter with the New
Year.
With the increase m wealth in
this county'* large number of the
young men should take some kind
of Courses at the university.
Announcement.
To the Voters of Decatur County;
1 hereby announce my oandidaoy
for the honorable position of Judge of
the City Court, subject to the Tesult of
the white primary.
1 make this announcement with many
misgivings as to my competency to ac
ceptably till this important and trying
position. To properly adjudicate the
rights of the intelligent citizens of this
great and prosperous county might well
tax the brain and heart of any man. I
can only promise that if honored by
your choice I will brine to the discharge
of my duty every faculty of my being
and will fearlessly and impartially dis
charge the same, as God gives me the
wisdom to see, and the power to per
form it. 1 have no criticism to make on
either of the other gentlemen who are
candidates for this position, save te say
that if distinguished by your choice, I
shall the more highly esteem the honor
because chosen before such able compet
itors, and if beaten by either, I snail
find in Buch defeat no sting ot disgrace,
but shall continue to praotioe my profes-
1 with grateful recollection of those
friends who voluntarily bestowed upon
me their confidence and support.
