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.
