M- i A field of Flowers in Bloom. Nothing appeals quicker to all that is high- ■ better, more sentimental in man than the ght of a field of flowers in bloom. Their freah- their "fragrance, the variety of color; the g of the petals of unfolding beauty heaven- mu, is a sight that impresses and elevates. A Crusader back from overseas, asked what ^pressed him most, said: “On leave of absence at Nice I took a side-trip to the flower fields near itone, from which the perfumes sold at ev- „ drug-store in this country are made. These ields are terraced on the toountain-side, and here you can see miles and miles of ilowere in jloom. Every variety of color, with a back ground of mountain and blue sky; the fragrance at eventide is almost overpowering. It was a • sight thata-man, just from the battle-fields and “ spitals of France, could not forget” Add to the beauty of the bloom the fact that ! e* c h flower is a living soul;.that each is-a,po tential educator, home-maker, wife, gnd mo ther; that each flower is smiling, laughing, anl T mated; andtyou have of earthly beauty the su perlative. sj Do you want to see such a field in bloom? Then go to tfilfedgeville, and tell President Parks you Want to see the girls of G. N. I. C. He has 1.025 of them—just think of it!. Eight hundred are boarding in the dormitor ies and filling them to capacity; others find ac commodations in the homes of the city. Oh a recent visit, we had the pleasure of din ing with President Parks nnd his faculty and $QQ girls, in the spacious dining-room of Atkin- SPq Hall. There we saw the field of flowers- in bloom^oo girls, at the time of life when they are prettiest and most attractive—their feet just touching the threshold of womanhood; in their neat uniforms, witl\ animated, uplifted faces—you couldn’t beat it for an inspiring sight the world over, and the man who wouldn’t be affected thereby hasn’t a soul—nor heart, either. But those girls are not there just to look at- ■hall be unlawful for any person throw any tin cans, wire, crockery, you can see it in their environment; you can see ,Men arid nations are still somewhat dazed, but!

The ran- i, in the school-room or in the commercial 'cor of conflict has not disappeared. Time stiffl- aion in Atlanta. With its stone colonnades, its broad halls, winding'stairways, circular ball-: room, rotunda and gallery, it brings vividly to the imkgiriation Georgia’s statesmen j>f the old en days and their stately dames. Pres. Parks has a keen appreciation gjt Georgia's t historical associations,-and cares frijr the buildingand its fixtures as zealously as hit own. The principal business of the Georgia Normal and Industrial is to train young women for work in the* school-room. Not for long will Superin tendent Brittain and the County Superintend ents under his jurisdiction have cause for com plaint of the lack of school-teachers, for with this institution with over one thousand in the course of training, the need must be met soon. And the training is intensive and thorough, so much so that we cannot describe it in detail. But this school does not train teachers alone. It haslpourses in millinery, dress-making, and in all the branches of Domestic Economy, Girls here can learn the trades that are now paying the highest wages for trained help. But better than all, the school is training girls for house keepers, and home-makers. Its courses in Do mestic Science embrace' real domestic work and practical, applied science. The equipment is of the best and the instruction and training thorough. To watch a class at work makes one hungry. * To look at more than/one thousand girls, when we try to think of the mighty possibilities that are before our eyes, the imagination stag gers. Here are the heads of one ^thousand Georgia homes; the wives and mothers of,one thousand Georgia families of a day close at hand; the teachers in more than half a thous and schools, who will have under their direction' and care twenty-five thousand Georgia children —then we begin to realiga/tn pagt only, the iriu mense possibilities in rejrieau.arid^tbe tremen dous responsibility resting -or . President Parks and his assistants. These womanly, characters are at the ripe period of their formation—the most impressive period. On them will depend, the happiness of a thousand homes; the des tinies of twenty-five times a thousand school children of tomorrow. We realized that when we looked on this field of flowers, we also looked on the moulders of Georgia’s future. And then, appreciating Pres ident Parks’ tremendous task, we envied him not at all. , J 1 1 m w v m R. SUTTON TY TY DEPARTMENT UlM Lida Stanford and Ur. W. H.

Every Georgian should see what a magnifi cent investment this state owns in the Georgia Normal and Industrial College. The original building, like a mother hen, is surrounded by its offspring, the name of each telling its story— Terrell Hall, Atkinson Hall, Parks Hall,—until there was no longer room on the campus, and a tract of land was purchased fronting the college property, across the street. Here was room for the erection of a new building—the best invest ment of 250,000 Georgia ever made—and also room for a recreation and athletic park, which will be -utilized later. This new hall represents Jon. of a college dormitory. The ms were designed for two girls each, but be- of the demands on the college have three now.

The time will soon come when Armistice Day will be the greatest anniversary observed, with the single exception of Christmas. Not only will it he the greatest celebrated by this nation, but the greatest holiday observed by the civilized nations of the world. Aa the yearyiass, with each man who serv ed his country, at home or 'abroad, Armistice Day will have memories growing fonder and tenderer as time hallows them. For the men who fought, for the men and women who sacri ficed; for the men and-women who planned and led, Armistice Day will nlean the anniver sary of the Day of Deliverance. In this, country, the American Legion; in other countries similar organizations of war vet erans, will meet, in larger and larger numbers, to celebrate the day, to renew old associations, meet old comrades and fight old battles over, until passing time shall thin their ranks. In years to come, Armistice Day will mean one great world holiday and celebration.

People leave the postofflee, scat tering paper they go; they stand on the street chewing cane and throwing peelings and pulp wherever it may hap pen to fall; arm fulls of litter are taken from stores and left on the street, and people seem to think when they aweep trash from the sidewalk to the street that they have done their whole doty. Alf Armstrong, an old colored citizen, who has owned • home here for a num- fber of years, has taken the job of chief street-cleaner for Ty Ty. Aa he is a fixture here, it is hoped that the arrange ment will last for a long time. He is doing good work, but what profit la it, when the streets are littered again be fore he gets to the end of the block? Ty Ty has a vety small fund for street cleaning. The majority ot ita male cit izens are either above or below the age for paying street tax, bat U the people woald do their part towards keeping the street clean, instead of complaining ot conditions, this would be a much cleaner town. It has been proposed to keep trash cans along the streets, but this certainly would not add to the attraction ot the plan, and the benefit is doubtful; trash would be thrown at the cans, usually missing them. There is no reason why people ihonld chew cane on the street, and every build ing, public or private, is (or ought to be) provided with a receptacle for trash. An effort will be made to enforce this ordinance about throwing trash on the street It has been a dead letter, here tofore, and it will not be easily enforced, bat when a few fines have been Imposed people will remember.
