Monroe College Offers Superior Advantages in All Departments
for the Higher Christian Education of Young Women.

Si®
Monroe College was given by the cit
izens of Forsyth to the Georgia Baptist
convention in 1898 at the Augusta ses
sion. Its phenomenal growth since
that time has rendered imperative the
building of commodious and well-ap
pointed dormitories and the addition
of a large increase of equipment for
instruction In each department. The
trustees have fully met the demands by
providing every modern convenience
for the comfort and the instruction of
our students. The new 100-room dor
mitory which has Just been completed
will be dedicated at our opening ser
vices for the next year on September
14. The students will arrive in For
syth on the 12th of September and
their classification will be arranged on
the 13th and 14th and 15th of Septem
ber.
Applications for Toom reservation
will be forwarded to the college and no
tification of room assignment will be
sent out to the students by the 1st of
September.
The curriculum In each department
has been carefully correlated and ad
vanced to include a thorough compre
hension of the subjects taught. Courses
of study are given In the following sub
jects: Music. Theory, Ilsrmohy and
Practice: Oratory and Physical Cul
ture; Art—Pointing in Charcoal. Wa
ter, oils; Business—Bookkeeping.
Stenography, Typewriting and Teleg
raphy; Normal—Theory and Practice;
Domestic Science, Cooking nnd Sewing.

of the trustees has been to bring the

THE HOTTEST DAY
OF MIDDLE SUMMER
THERMOMETER REACHES 96 DEGREES AT 1 O’CLOCK IN OFFICE
OF WEATHER BUREAU—OLD SOL UNRELENTING TOWARD
SWELTERING HUMANITY—A SLIGHT BREEZE IN THE AFTER-
NOON RELIEVES THE SUFFERING—PROSPECTS FOR TODAY SAY
SHOWERS AND COOLER.
STEED AND BUCHANAN
(Continued from page 1.)
Yesterday was a record breaker. It
was the hottest day of the season, the
i mercury climbing over itself and ever
i upward until at one o’clock it register-
1 ed 96% degrees at the office of the
weather bureau in the top floor of the
federal building. Men went to and fro
minus collars, cuffs, etc., and the ladles
remained Indoors arrayed In cool mus
lin garments and fanned themselves.
The soda fountains did a rushing
business and those with a predilection
for something stronger sought the cool
and quiet of back rooms where such is
to be found. At 5 a. m. yesterday the
thermometer stood at 73 but the ma
chine was then not fairly started. By
9 o’clock things were sizzling and pe
destrians were mopping their brows
and seeking consolation from any
available source.
It was a bad day on babies and sick
people, the heat seeming to penetrate
to the skin. Along toward the after
noon suffering humanity was relieved
In a measure by a slight breeze spring
ing up. and for this alleviation it was
profoundly grateful. The pavements
seemed to exude u steam that was en-
imtln| In the tttrtn*. even the dumb
animals seeking the green parkway in
the streets.
The weather man promises cooler
weather for today, with showers
thrown in. Rain is badly needed, ev
erything being in a parched and dried
up condition. On the 20th of July
last year the thermometer ranged from
72 to 90 degrees, the day being clear.
The maximum temperature reached
during last July was 96 degrees this
being on the 28rd; the minimum was
63 degrees, on the 15tb. However, the
heat In this section Is not of the humid
sticky sort found In the northern cities.
Nor Is it dangerous, so far as the loss
of life is concerned. The weather here
in July and August while very warm
does not prostrate as does the heat In
the East. With a nice cool shower to
day the temperature tonight will be
lowered considerably, enabling one to
secure refreshing sleep and consequent

The committee wan anxious to hear
hint and when his twenty minute* had
expired the committee voted unani
mously to allow him all th* time he
wanted. Mr. lfnll took the repirt of
the committee, and according to the
sworn testimony, showed that the Han-
itarium had no system of bookkeeping
worthy of the name. He showed that
the payroll of officers nnd others
•mounted to hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually and yet there wn*
never a receipt taken nnd no payroll
was signed by any emplo) • Mr. Hall
rend from the testimony of the engi
neer of the asylum to show that the
buildings referred to In hlx report had
• out only 3140,000 and that the bnl-
of the hundred and fifty thousand
dollar appropriation had been spent
for tools nnd other things with which
the grading and road building was
done, Mr. Hall showed that the Sys
tem of bookkeeping was the same as
it was when the appropriation was
320,000 and it Is now 3226,000, In the
• curse of his speech Mr. Hall read
the following eztract from the testi
mony of J. R \*mm
you this—when tho committee came,
looked up the whiskey and put ths
key in his pocket, nnd anld there was
not going to bo any drunk men around.”
Q.—"When was that?"
A.—"Two years ago. I know they
used to come here nnd keep it in tho
steward's office. They would get this
whiskey nnd mnke n regular barroom
of the stewnrd's office. How could I
tell them thnt they could not have It?
Here is the legislature thnl is nhend of
the trustees, and they say they wnnt a
drink and I could not tell them thnt
they should not have It. At one time
the whiskey was kept in tho storeroom.
Now It is kept In the apothecary's
office. 1 remember one committee. I
think it was In 1898, thnt drank ojght
gallons and n half."
Mr. Hall disclaimed any intention to
reflect on Superintendent Powell. He
spoke as though he did not think the
appropriations committee should have
let Judge Lawson talk.ns he did at the
meeting a week ago, ns Mr. Hall watt
n member of the committee nnd he did
not think an outsider should have been
permitted to roast him as Judge Law-
son hud done. Mr. Hall said he thought
three hundred thousand dollars was
all the appropriation the Sanitarium
needed. The general comment wns
that he fully vindicated the report of
his'committee in regard to the lack of
proper management at the Sanitarium.

The bill under consideration makes
changes In the Islw in this: It takes
away from the board and the entomolo-

of nurserymen, provided they comply
with the remedial treatment prescribed
by the fntnmologtst. Nursery stock
can be treated ns to entirely remove
danger of scale being carried by them.
The scale now being in nearly all

entomologist. It shall be allowed to be

such a provision, the nurseryment
would find themselves without a mar

sible harm could be done In selling
trees that have been thoroughly treated
by the entomologist, to parts of the
state where the scale diready exists.

not prefer any trees to those grown
