Within two weeks the large build ings of the Third District Agricultur al College will be practically com pleted. Such was the gratifying state ment made the district board of trus tees assembled in Americus yester day to discuss affairs of the schooi. A visit was likewise made to the college farm in the southern surburbs of Americus, and the twelve trustees composing the party expressed satis faction at the progress there. Among the trustees attending the meeting were the following: Trustees Attending: Mr. Daniel of Sumter, Mr. Stapleton, of Webster, Mr. Heys of Macon, Mr. Fitzgerald of Stewart, Mr. Steed of Taylor, Mr. Heard of Dooly, Mr. Biv ins of Crisp, Mr. Hall of Lee, Mr. Warren of Wilcox, Mr. Bridges of Schley. Mr. Hughes of Twiggs, Mr. Paulk of Beu Hill. The counties of Pulaski, Crawford and Houst'.n were not represented by their trustees. Hon. John M. Collum, principal of the college, accompanied the trustees to the farm and gave them detailed Information concerning the buildings and the work still required. Nearing Completion. The two main buildings, as stated above, are very nearly fllnished, and will be entirely completed within a week or a little more. The work per formed appears to be of excellent character, and the trustees later ex pressed satisfaction thereat. One omlslon noted, and a serious one, Is the absence of dining room and kitchen, said one of the trustees, In telling of the visit to the college. He said that absolutely no provision for these very necessary adjuncts of a boarding school had been made. Where Is the Kitchen! Surely the building plane must In clude a kitchen wherein the girls can exhibit their handwork, and a din ing hall wherein the hungry students may regale themselves thrice dally. Senator Stapleton, In speaking af terwards, of the visit of the trustees, said that this Important matter was discussed at length. There Is, he said, no evidence of a dining hall or kit chen In either of the main buildings now nearing completion. If such omission has been made It will be quickly corrected. Per haps the diulng hall and kitchen are Intended to be located In some other building on the farm. Discuss Itoutlnc Matters. The trustees, upon returning from the college farm, held a business meet ing wherein they discussed matters of routine only. They were highly gratified at the prospect of early com pletion of the bulldlngB and opening of the school in January. Indications point to a large atten dance,'even taxing the capacity of the buildings. Every one of the fif teen counties of the Third district will send pupils there.
