THE MACON TELEGRAPH; SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 1894

AT MERCER UNIVERSITY.
Dr. Gambrel! Talks Interestingly of
Wbat Is Being Accom
plished.
COMMENDS THE WORK ON TOE PARK
Vb* Plilor*. School, Which Opens In
Jnnnmrjr, Will Bo Largely Attended.
The Many Changes and Improve
ments Contemplated.
A Telegraph man found President
Gambrel! In his office yesterday, busy,
aa he always Is, and said: “Have you
anything to say to the Telegraph about
Mercer?"
“Yes, I am full of talk for you this
•time. The first thing to get off my mind
Is that Macon papers are doing their
full duty to every Macon Interest, Mer
cer included. And the next thing that
I want o say wilt emphasis la that the
iworic on Tdtnall Square Is a fine thing
for the city and for Mercer. The place
can he made beautiful at no great cost,
and It will be a real benediction to the
city and a specially nice thing for Mer
cer University.
"Well, tell us what is going on In
the university.”
“Good work is going on. Practioal-
Jy every student Is at work, and the
faculty have their hands full. We have
a noble set of students—orderly and
high-toned. Everything goes on Uko
clockwork. There Is not a bit of the
rowdyism commonly expected of col
lege boys, and none of us wish any of
It. The faculty and students are
unit.”
“You are all glad to keep Professor
Pollock?’ 1
"Certainly. We are exactly fixed. No
lone wants a change. Professor Pollock
acted on his own judgment, after get
ting all the light he could, and acted
wisely, in my opinion. He Is In the
right place now, and by helping
through with our plans will do more
for education In Georgia than If he bad
taken the office tendered him."
“You speak of plans, would you
Wind giving us some of them?”
“No, not ‘some of them.’ Our plan,
roundly speaking, Is to make Mercer a
great university. We all believe It can
be done; and to do It we have several
subsidiary plans. We mean to maintain
the present high moral tone of the in
stitution. We mean also that the teach
ing In every department shall be first-
class. And we mean that every student
rwiho remains with us shall have au
up-to-date culture. If you have time to
listen I will tell you some things we
are driving at right now. Next week
1 will organize
A NEWSPAPER CORRESPOND
ENTS’ CLUB.
i "You know. I am something of a
newspaper man myself, having been
fifteen years In the business. Newspa
pers are so powerful toduy that no one
can afford to Ignore them. The Inten
tion Is to give every member of the
club a practical Idea of newspaper
work, and some training In It. There
are many good features to the club.
Which time will not allow me to dis
cuss. But we are certain of a bright
lot of young fellows In It, and It will
Uo good. Close akin to this Is the
MAGAZINE CLUB,
working admirably under Professor
Moseley. The members of this club are
isure to keep along with the brat
'(thought of the time. It Is very educat
ing and very stimulating to ambitious
.young men. These two organizations
supplement tile literary sooletUs, and
tend to broaden the culture of our stu
dents.
“January promises to be a specially
interesting month tor us. First It Is the
opening of the
SECOND TERM.
IW'hen quite a number of new students
Will matriculate. Under our elective
system, a student may enter any class
just when Ills preparation Justifies.
{There are many students badly out of
shape, being much further advanced
In one study than another. This last
iterm affords an excellent opportunity
for evening up, by doubling time on
some studies. A half year given to
this will often virtually save a whole
year In tho course.
FRAYING AND GIVING.
‘‘During January, also, all over Geor-
many phases of the teacher's -work.”
“What about the affiliation of the
High School of which something was
said not long ago?”
"It to in a hopeful way. We have
near twenty tsuoh schools, and every
one of them will become a feeder to
Meroer. Now, I have told you quite
enough for one time. Just tell your
readers to send In the boy Jan. I, and
we will take good care of him. give him
plenty to do and show him how to
do It.”

(PRESIDENT GEORGE SMITH
Issues a Coll to the Directors of the
Intbnmatloai Bureau.
President George SmlHh of the Macon
Ad-rtritelng and 'Information Bureau
has issued the following call for
meeting of the directors of hhat organi
zation:
Macon, Ga„ Dec. 15, 1S34.—To the Di
rectors of the Macon Adverttelirg and
Information Bureau—Gentlemen: I have
finished my collections o nour last re
newals to subscriptions, and I nm loth
to see the good work done by tile bu
reau In advertising Moicon abandoned.
Just now I had a demand tor roy bro
chure on the “Advantages of Macon”
from Mr. N. A. Bothoe, agent of the
North Getroan-Lloyd steamship line at
Bremen- and Mr. Si. V. Richards, land
and immigration agent of the South
ern Railway Company, ait Washington,
and upon the assurance of these gentle
men -that they would put our books In
the hands of home-seekers nod manu
facturers. I have supplied this demand,
and it la not -too much to expect that
tills single effort will Show good re
sults; Tor I know an excellent foreign
gentleman who came to.Macon to live
from having received a poor JWile map
at our city. This gentleman has pros
pered in our <Vm*nvunity, amd says that
thousands of his countryman are only
waiting to be Informed about our sec
tion to came and live with us. I have
called yon together particularly to de
vise a way of perpetuating the bureau,
and I believe same of our directors
have suggestions to make on this line.
Faithfully yours. Geo, A. Smllth,
President and Manager.
That the bureau Is very near and
dear to all wholove their oily and are
anxious for its advancement Is believed
by Mr. -Smith, who hopes and believes
that a full meat-ins of the dinootors may
result from '.he call, and that such stes
will be taken as will assure tho nernet-
uatlon of un organization which in the
past has accomplished muqjt for this
beautiful etty, and which in the future
should accomplish more.
Whore the duty of Ithie public Is so
paplpable Mr. Smllth thinks there
should he no necessity of urging upon
them, the Importance of tho work which
the Macon Advertising and Infiomimtion
Bureau has in hand, and he hopes that
the directors will mooli a«*d devise some
plans, and that then the public-spirited
men of Macon ylH second tho bureau in
Its efforts on behalf of ,the city.

lions made to the current support of
ttho university. This to a great educat
ing move, which cannot fall of largo
results. Dr. Ohapma-n, the financial sec
retary, has managed the field work
with great skill. Mercer never was so
before the people, nor so. much In their
hearts. In January, too.
THE PASTORS’ SCHOOL
. .will open. This will bring preachers
from many sections of Georgia and
from other states. It Is a new feature,
and one likely to prove a great bless
ing to' the pHplc, and to Mercer. I
will have to help me some of the ableBt
-men In tho whole country. Their tamos

purpose, etc., may be of Interest to

treated will be:
PLAN OF WORK.
The Bible, and how to study It,
The Doctrines of the Bible.
Soul Winning. The Constitution and
Culture of Churches.
Preparation and Delivery of Sermons.
"The teaching will be by lectures, us
ing the Bible ns a text hook, with ref
erences to standard works. Time will
be given to questions on difficult mat
ters. All technicalities will be avoided.
Tho effort win be to treat every subject
in the plainest possible way. professor
Murray will help such ns desire It with
.heir Greek New Testament. There will
be no fee for entrance.
“Board can be obtained for 112.60 a
month, and up as high as any one
wishes to go.
"Thla school Is meant to help pat
rons and workers now on the field.
Many can spend the five days of tho
lectures In Mfieon had run out to their
churches for Saturday and Sunday.
The work wll? be largely in tho nature
of ’Applied Theology.’
“Pastors who are ru3ty and In ruts,
or tired and anxious to bring Into their
work every element of success, ought
to come. Teachers attend special
courses, and so do people In other call-
Jngs. Why should preachers be behind?
"This promises to be a very popular
feature of our work, aad will, I believe,
greatly widen the Influence of Mercer.
“Now. I have told you a (food deal,

Moseley's
SCHOOL OF PEDAGOGY

start It has gone beyond my expecta

ready won a good place In the untrsr-

Xmas canes.

WESLEYAN’S INTERSTATE FAIR.
A Display ot Artlotlc Christman Pres
ents tor Folks at Home.
Tho young ladles erf WeSleyam Coll Or o
have been doing a great deal of beauti
ful fancy work recently, to give ns
Chrismaa preaoixs 1t> Choir friends nt
home, and last night, at the suggcotlon
of cave ot tho teachers, they gave an ex
hibition of hhc-il handiwork In the par
lors of Che college. As eleven states
u.re ropresentd among tho students, old
Wesleyan may bo said to have given a
sm ill lncor-otato fair on her own ac
count.
Tho differ,(nt art'teles were spread out
on tables under a blaze of light from
the chandeliers, and made a very bril
liant exhibition, and amo exceedingly
creditable <o liho Industry and Ingenu
ity of the young J-ultea. There wero
nearly one hundred and fifty nieces
displayed, including almost every arti
cle produced <by tho -taste and skill of
refined womanhood, from a service of
of t-xquSsitcly painted china to the
figure of a quaintly arrayed brawn*,
dude—an exact counterpart of Cholly
Boutonniere, who iplayed such havoc
with tJio hearts of the fair sex at tho
Academy of Music last niWht.
When the display had boon viewed by
the young ladles and their teachers, a
vote was taken to decide who was erifl-
tied to the credit of having done the
moet autistic work, and the prize was
a wanted to MJas Nell Pan-amoe of Ban-
ford, Fla., by a majority of fourteen
voces. I Shall not attempt to particu

Industrious glrie have shown that In
cultivating their minds (hoy have not
neglected the graceful oris by which

be made glad on Christmas morning by
