meeting. He asked that three
questions he duseussed:

school building?
2nd. Should it be built at once?

After thorough discussion, the above
questions were answered unanim

cation, and realized now that Coch
ran should respond to the growing
demand for improved educational
advantages. She told of a small
village of only a few hundred popu
lation in North Carolina where a
splendid building had been erected.
In fact she bad traveled in North
Carolina, Georgia and Florida and
had not found but one place where
the buildings in small towns were
not better.
Mrs. J. J. Taylor (who was pres
ident of the Mothers’ Club last ses
sion) was in favor of a good build
ing, centrally located.
Mrs. D. E. Duggan wanted to

ted that her children would not have
to walk so far. Mrs. Asbell has
several small children in school.
Her husband will he our next
county school commissioner.
Mrs. A. P. ITrquhart, who is al
ways interested in education, was
glad that the question was being
agitated and was entlniastic in her
support of the proposition.
Mrs. J. J. Harvard was heartily
in favor of the progressive under
taking.
So many strong points were pre
sented in favor of a new building,
that it would not be advisable to

all, suffice it to say that coon it ax

Wesleyan’s hund
Continues to Grow.
ylugusta’s Churches Contribute
Over Two Thousand Dollars
On last Sunday.
Rev. W. N. Ainsworth’s tour
through the state in behalf of Wes
leyan College is meeting with unus
ual success. In Augusta yesterday
he secured contributions amouting
to over $2,000 to the. endo ment
fund for ihe institution. The Au
gusta Chronicle says:
Bishop James Atkins filled the
pulpit of St. John’s in the morning
and that of St. Janies’ at night,
presenting the Greater Wesleyan
campaign at both services. Follow
ing the sermons of the bishop, Rev.
W. N. Ainsworth, president of the
college, succinctly presented the
conditions of the campaign and
took a collection, the sum of $2,000
being realized.
The bishop took for Ins text at
the morning hour, Luke 18:23:
"He was very sorrowful, for he was
very rich.” The bishop said this
was an unusual staternen 1 , because
the biography of the man who sor
rows because of his wealth had nev
er yet been written, either in the
Bilile or out of it. He stated, how
ever, that there was a real connec
tion between his sorrow and his
riches.
"Money making,” said the speak
er, "is as much a talent as any oth
er endowment of God and must be
used for the extension of the king
dom of heaven.” The stewardship
of money was forcefully and elo
quently presented .as a necessary
means to the dignifying of all life
and service. The bishop’s sermons
were heard by large and apprecia
tive congregations.
Bishop Atkins and Dr. Ainsworth
leave Augusta today and continue
their tour which embraces the cities
and towns of Georgia and Florida,
in the interest of the Wesleyan col
lege.
The next commencement is the
75th anniversay of the founding of
Wesleyan and the authorities are
working in an endeavor to raise
$300,003 to maintain the college and
to enlarge it. Wesleyan is deserv
ing of all the people of Georgia ai d
Florida can do in her interest and
she is dependent on these dioceses
for support. It is believed that she
has done her part in the education
of the daughters of the South, being
the oldest female college in this
country and the first female college
empowered in its charter to deliver
degrees upm its graduates.
About $205,000 of the required
sum has been raised and it is hoped
that by commencement time, when
Wesleyan will celebrate her 75tli
anniversary, the balance will have
been raised.
