Dear Professor: I always take great pleasure in recom mending Southern Normal Institute, and especially the Busi ness Department of the Institute. I think the plan of work adopted is second to none, and one feature that I admire is, the way students are allowed to advance and are not held back for any one else. With very best wishes for the success of my alma mater and her wo.tny Principal, I am. Very truly yours. Minnie McCormick. Broxton, Ga. , May 16th, 1906, To Whom it May Concern: Alter graduating from the University of Georgia, I wished to take a Business Course and after investigating different schools I decided to attend Southern Normal Insti tute. I took a course there and the day after finishing I accepted the position as cashier of the Broxton Banking Co., which position I have held since. This Institution is as well equipped and has as competent instructors as any in the State. Any person who takes a course as they give it will have no trouble in getting a good position and will be com petent to hold it. Tneir course is a splendid one and it covers the Commercial course thoroughly. I take pleasure in recommending it to any one who con templates- taking a Business Course. K. C.

The Departments* of Art and Expression under the care of Miss Rhoda Nunnaily are show ing a very marked development. Miss Nunnaily has just returned from a summer’s work of special study in her chosen line. Her enthusiasm knows no bounds. I never saw any one so completely ab sorbed in anything as Miss Nunnaily is in her work. Any one contemplating work in any branch of Art, or Expression should correspond at once with Miss Nunnaily. We give here a tes timonial from a former gradute of the Department ot Expression : Arabi, Ga., Mav Bth, 19C6. Pkof. j. W. Hrndkicics, _ Douglas, Ga. Dear Sir. Allow me to express a few words of appreciation to Southern Normal Institute for the thorough course of study in the department of Expression. I find that it has been my ever'present helper in teaching. Most sincerely Ner.i.E Tqhnson, Teacher of Expression Houston High School, Arabi, Ga. If opportunity were given, every one of the one hundred 1 and thirty-three graduates of South ern Normal Institute, scattered through several states and engaged in almost every walk of life, would gladly testify to the thoroughness and efficiency of S. N. I. But we have space here for only a few more. Hear what they have to say. Also, please read what our prominent and influential friends have to say of us : Willacoocaee, Ga., May llth, 1906. Prof. -J. WALTER Hendricks, Douglas, Ga. Dear Prof: lam just beginning to appreciate the value of a high scho<’4 education, ana like you saia, life is not a path strewn with morning roses. Since I launched out into this wide world to earn my own dollars, I have had many difficulties thrust upon me, but can say that none have passed by unmastered. Have been very successful in my line of work thus far, and I give the praise to “Southern Normal Institute,” my “Foster Mother, ” for it was in her halls that I conquered the smaller, temporary difficulties, which now enables me to conquer the real ones. I can recommend “Southern Normal Institute” to any boy or girl in pursuit of a high school education, provided they are wPling to work for it; but if they are seeking play, and not work, I advise them to seek another institute. Your old pupil, Eula Newbekn. Baltimore, Md., May 10th, 1906 The value that I place on a broadened view of life and its possiblities, on the rationality of education of mind, heart and hand, in the extension of my horizon to include my neighbor and his interests, my county, my state, my coun- i try and their interests, and in the privilege that is mine to' wear my life away in service of Him who has implanted in us these divine aspirations, is the value that I place on my training at the Southern Normal Institute. I went to Douglas to secure such a business education as would fit me for a book-keeper’s lifp. I left, seeking to know where and how I could best serve the common cause ; of man. Sincerely, C. W. Roberts, M. D. Prof. J. W. Hendricks, Principal Southern Normal Institute. Douglas, Ga., May 9th, 1906. My Dear Sir: I wish to congratulate yeu on the success lof the Institute over which you preside. You have been 1 wise in the selection of your assistants, in that all of them, are members of thpjfchurch. During the revival services at the Methodist church, several of you: 1 teachers rendered me valued assistance. This is right, fof a school teacher ought to feel an interest in the souls cf the pupils. lam glad several of your students have been converted while here and go back to their homes L-nristians. I wish also as a minister of this city to thank you for your kindness m giving me the opportunity of conducting the devotmnai exercises at the Institute whenever I could <k> so. Wishing you and your co-laborers abundant success in your work, and assuring you lam always ready to heln \ o m any way possible, I am, 1 J Sincerely yours, L. A. Hill. r, • r. • P r °f- J- W. Hendricks, Dear sir. I ermit me to express my keen satisfaction at your re-election aa principal of S. N. I. The old S. N. I. is dear to my heart. I regard it as one of the best schools of its kind in South Ga. Your course has enabled me to main tain a reputable standing in the law course of Mercer Uni versity alongside of graduates from old line colleges. But the best thing about your school is that it builds character. Each morning at the chapel exercises, the student drinks new lnspriation and enthusiasm for the day. You do not stand aloof from your pupils but on the contrary the most intimate sympathy exists in your school between teacher and pupil. Cleanliness, purity of habit arid a high cotie of moral ethics are so strenuously insisted upon and taught both by precept and example in your school, that thev bt ™a!.KPait ° f Gach P -Y pil ’ s life - 1 r *S»rd the timespentin your school as a pupil as more advantageously spent than any period of equal duration in my whole school life.
