COFFEE COUNTY PROGRESS
A. & M. SCHOOL PLANS IMPROVEMENTS
Plans are under way for improve
ments of A. & M. school which will
mean the greatest thing possible for
this school which is doing such splen
did work under the direction of Prof.
J. M. Thrash.
New Dormitory Needed.
For some time there has been need
ed a new dormitory and now there is
a movement on foot for an appro
priation of $12,500.00 for this build
ing. If this plan goes through the
new building will be erected on the
left side of the campus, facing the
driveway on the same angle as the
other buildings. It will be used as
< home for the girls—the girls' pres
ent dormitory will be occupied by the
boys.
Thu building is needed badly.
The overcrowded enrollment has au
average to three to a room. The new
building would eliminate this dis
comfort. The present dormitories
are both nice enough but not large
enough to accommodate the present
enrollment of 237 boys and girls
end have room left for the acceptance
of other applicants.
This $12,500.00 appropriation is
much hoped for and is expected thru
the state agricultural department. It
will mean much to the school. Not
only will it enable them to give the
-students more comfortable quarters
but it will als-o give room for the
many applicants who have been de
nied admission for lack of dormitory
mom.
Sewerage System Under Way.
Beginning sometime next week the
City of Douglas is going to begin a
sewer line to A. & M. school which
will* take approximately two weeks
to complete. At this time an anticep
tic tank—or dry well—has been used
and its impractibility necessities the
direct connection of sewerage drain
from the city. This is another big
asset to the school toward improve
ment and Prof. Thrash is very en
thusiastic in his gratitude.
Inadequate W a ter Supply.
The water supply of A. & M. school
is dependent upon a small 1 1-2 inch
main. This will eventually neces
sitate a larger water line as the de
mand for a stronger water system
is growing each day.
No Fire Protection.
Should a fire break out at the A.
& M. school the result would be little
short of a crime. There is absolute
ly no fire protection at all. The
small water supply as it is today
would be little better than useless.
A fire breaking out in the middle of
the night would trap scores of stu
dents and there is a possibility that
many might lose their lives. There
is no fire escape; no water line large
enough to fight the fire with and by
the time hose from the city could be
strung out untold damage might be
accomplished. The horror of such a
scene in cur minds should be enough
to illustrate the need of a more ade
quate water supply.
Swimming Pool Needed.
There is a wonderful site for a
swimming pool back of the school.
It is possible to have this pool by
public subscriptions and private do
nations but what good would it do
when there isn’t water to fill it.
Summer is coming and there is warm
days coming before school is out. A
swimming pool cool off many
heated students and exercise their
bodies if this pool was possible. But
fresh water is essential to a real
swimming pool and this the school
isn t able to obtain in the quantities
necessary.
Lighting System Good.
The lighting system is good. The
buildings are well lighted and the
vhi-te.way on the sides of
driveways is beautiful. The white
cay lights are all underground sys
■emed, erected by the students them-

selves and is a credit to any school.
Looking Over Buildings Inside.
Prof. Thrash took the writer
through the three main buildings—
the boys dormitory, the academic
building and the girl’s dormitory. I
was unusually surprised to find the
boys dormitory in such splendid
shape. The reception room was as
well kept as the most house wive’s
drawing room. The furniture is good
and above - all things—unscarred.
Imagine anything in a boy’s dorm
tory unscarred. But I received a
greater surprise when Prof. Thrash
old me the boys made the furniture
themselves. It seemed unbelievable.
An examination of the boy’s room
found them all spick and span. Neat
as though fresh from the touch of a
feminine hand. In every room there
was flowers. Somehow that gave the
room a fresher atmosphere. Even I
felt it. Maybe it is because I love
flowers —but how many are there
that doesn’t love flowers. Prof.
Thrash told me flowers played a big
part in the life of the school. This
l discovered later as every room
class, rooms, bedrooms, parlors, etc.
—contained fresh flowers.
The academic building is wonderful.
The class rooms are clean; the desks
vek as new as the day they were
bought. Not an ink well was mis
sing nor a blemish could be found,
low boys can be trained to be so
thoughtful is a mystery.
Exellent Reading Room.
In the leading room an array of
magazines of all types, kinds and
classes are found. On one side there
is a line of magazines devoted to
mechanical arts. The best
magazines published are found there
piled neatly in their respective places.
On the other side of the room almost
every agricultural magazine publish
ed will be found. The reference
books within the office can be secured
upon request but are not left outside
for idle use. Prof. Thrash says
many hours are spent there by the
students and it is a pity there isn’t
room to accommodate more at the
time.
Girl’s, Dorm.itory.
The girl’s dormitory was the,last
building to look over. It was found
in even better shape than the boys.
This, of course, was to be expected.
The reception room was strictly
feminine from the first entrance. The
sounds of a piano first greeted our
ears and the gentle stroke told us it
was a girl playing as no man plays
like a woman. The furniture in the
reception room is good. Several
paintings on the wall, copies of fam
ous old masters such as Midsummer
Night’s Dream, The End of A perfect
day, etc. In the girl’s dormitory
there is in addition to the reception
rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms,
class rooms, for cooking, and a din
ing room for practical experience in
serving the meal after it is cooked.
Everythinng was clean and orderly.
The odors from the kitchen of a meal
I in progress was very appetizing and
| the cleanliness of the kitchen and
! milkroom made the foods more desir
! able.
The Farm Work. s
While some have the idea that
; farming is the chief occupation of the
j school it is a mistake. Farming is
inly a side subject that comes in the
afternoon after the regular classes
are over. The farm work is more fr.r
the upbuilding the physical side of
the student than anything else. The
indoor classes are for the develop
ment of the student’s mentality
Farm exercise is the greatest health
builder and physical culture yet
known. Farming is only a small part
»f A. & M. school life.
Farm Production Last Year.
Farming pays! This was proven
last year when the school cleared
over $3,000.00 on their crops. They
sold $2,227.48 worth of tobacco on
434 acres. Their net profit was'
SIBOO.OO. They made 700 bushels]
potatoes, 330 gallons syrup, SIBOO (
dairy products, sold S3OO vegetables,|
made 700 bushels of corn, 15 tons of j
hay and sold a thousand dollars j
worth on ether crops.
Enrolment.
Of the 115 girls and 122 boys en
rolled one eighth of the states of the
union are represented in addition to
Washington, D. C. and Cuba. There
is a, total of 237 students on roll and
every one enrolled without solicit
ing. The school hopes to enlarge to
a size a:*l proficiency to accommo
date at least a half thousand stu
dents the coming year.
Faculty To Be Congratulated.
The school faculty have been suc
cessful in their work. They have
taken to the big idea of A. & M.
school —to make better men and wo
men of our young people and they
have in many ways been successful.
Prof. Thrash is especially to be com
mended on his good work. Five
minutes talk and one knows his whole
heart and soul lies in the upbuilding
of his school—The State Agricul
ture and Mechanical school —“The
Pride of South Georgia.’’
