While I sit in the sunlight dream ing And the busy days grow still, I think of the wide green mead ows, And the old house on the hill. The roses have ceased their bloom ing About the doorway low, And again my heart gives greet ing, To my friends of long ago. And I sing the old songs over And think of my friends I used to know, My heart forgets its sorrows In the days of long ago. As I think of the dear old faces, Of the boys and girls I used to know. My heart grows sad with sorrow For some are beyond the ocean, And some are beyond the skies. Perhaps I shall meet them in Heaven, All the loved ones of long ago.

It was the first of its kind in the United States, it was in a large measure an experiment. It was not known how far the farmers ol the state could be interested in the work of the school. An at tendance of twenty-five would not have been disappointing to • the management of the school. The Cotton School is no longer an experiment. It is a demon strated success in the broadest sense of the word. The farmers have been interested. The at dance has been beyond one hun dred. The students came from every section of the'state, fifty one counties having been repre sented in the school. The farm ers who came were a set of men who evidenced their interest in the subjects under discussion. The treatment accorded the farmers in attendance upon this school was most hearty and most pleasing in every way. The faculty and the students of University spared no trouble in making them feel absolutely at home. The old idea that the University faculty and students would hold aloof from the farm ers was knocked into a cocked hat. And the farmers attending the cotton school saw in a few days that the wrong impression had been abroad concerning the University. The course of study was mag nificent and the farmers were well pleased with all the work of the "school. They return today to their homes feeling that they have been richly repaid for their visit to the University. President Soule and his assis tants are to be congratulated most heartily upon the success of the Cotton School. It mean? much to Georgia and much to the University.—Athens Banner.
