ANOTHER HONOR FOR
GEORGIA TECH.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 21.—In addition
to its high rank as a technical institu¬
tion, the Georgia School of Technology
has had another honor conferred uikui
it. The school has been selected over
all other Reserve Officers’ Training
Schools in the South for an R. O. T. C.
Normal School, to be conducted at Tech
for two weeks, beginning November 28.
The war department will hold such
schools in every army eorps area in
lie country. General Morrison, who
commands the Fourth Area, with
structed to pick the best school in his
headquarters at Charleston, was in-
orea, which includes nine states, Vir
! ginia. North Carolina, South Carolina,
, Farida, Alabama, Mississippi,
1 ««d Kentucky. He chose
t th ° Iughest trftmte Tech
eould have had to the work of its R.

C. Infantry, Heavy (Coast) Artillery,
and Signal Corps. It is one of twenty
.schools in the United States with a

fifteen with a Signal Corps unit. In
addition, it is one of ten schools select
selected or the inauguration of a Signal

The R. O. T. C. Normal school will
be held for tw r o weeks, beginning No¬
vember 28th. R. O ,T. C. command¬
ants from colleges. Military schools
and high schools from all nine states
will attend.
ADVERTISE GEORGIA.
The movement to advertise Georgia
in a big way is getting under full
swiug. It is proposed to expend three
hundred thousand dollars telling the
rest of the country facts about the
State they do not know. As the Sa¬
vannah Press says, “there is every
reason for advertising Georgia right
.now. The records of the past ten
years show that the State’s population
has not increased as rapidly as it has
in former decades, not to the extent it
should.
j “There can he hut one explanation of
this. People do not know about us
outside the boundaries of the State.
Other states more progressive than
Georgia have gone into the advertis¬
ing field and have let the world know'
their resources and their advantages.
' Ve lmve been r © ©content to let well
alone, to drift along with the
tide, welcoming those who came to live
with us, hut makiny no concerted, nor
determined effort to ger others to join
them.
“The awakening has now come. The
people of the State are aroused to the
necessity of letting tho*© outside of
Georgia know something of what Geor¬
gia has to offer in the way of climate,
water power, lands, p<>ople and good
government. We have too much ad¬
vertising of Georgia in nn adverse wav
and it is now time to get busy and
advertise ourselves in a way that will
be advantageous.
“The governor of the State is head¬
ing the movement to give to Georgia
the impetus that will come from letting
the whole country know something of
our resources and our ability to pro
(luce good crops of cotton, corn, fruits
tobacco and small grains. It is tin
ability to grow so many different things
that makes the State especially attrac.
tive to those who know wLst it has t<
offer in this way. The more peopb
we can educateto fh ; knowleedge oi
Georgia’s resources in this particuiaj
the better for the State it wifi be.”
Tl>© money to defray the expenses
of the campaign will he allotted to thi
1 •” counties. Wilkes’ quota is an
nounced as $2,300. The same amount
of money could not be expended in any
other way to bring to the county as
much material good as will this money
pooled with the balance of the State
in general advertising. If you doubt
tlie efficacy of advertising we have only
to sight you to the State of California,
the products of which compare in no
degree with those of Georgia, but Sun
Kist oranges are known from coast to
coast, and her raisins, figs, and other
products are in every home in the land.
Advertising puts them over.—Wash¬
ington News-Reporter.
