THE MACON TELEGRAPH; SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 1894 5 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.” BARGAIN COUNTER.

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.

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.

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, but here Is another Item: Professor Moseley's SCHOOL OF PEDAGOGY tviti been a marked success from the start It has gone beyond my expecta tion. The work was new, but It has al ready won a good place In the untrsr- slty. We are determined to make It raring. The regular text book work will k luppleme-nted by lectures covering Xmas canes.

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.
