ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 13.—Dr. G. R.
Glenn, the new president of the North
Georgia Agricultural college, who was
in Atlanta today was asked- about the
prospect of the college for the ap
proaching session.
• "The outlook is very bright,” ho said,
“The attendance will perhaps be larger
than ever before. The applications for
admission have been unprecedented.
The legislature has been very generous
In increasing tho fund for maintenance,
nnd this will nid the trustees to make
material Improvements in several de
partments. Especially will tills be the
case In the agricultural department.
This is one of the most attractive fea
tures of tho school. One of tho great
needs of our day Is to make agriculture
attractive und inviting uu a pursuit.
There Is no reason now why it should
not be mude as attractive to young
do os any other profession,
lmve a 40-acre farm on the col
grounds and every boy is obliged to s**o
farming Intelligently and scientifically
conducted. Watching things grow and
finding out iiow and why they grow
and how growth may be tremendous
ly increased is a liberal education. A
boy who has learned now to observe
things will learn how to read men
as books In the states of Iowa and
Illinois the agricultural mho.ds are
training young people to love farming
and farm life. We shall do the same
thing at Dahlonegu.
'Another great feature of the school
Is the military department. Tho exer
cises and methods of discipline of this
department have made many a 'crooked
boy straight.' The lessons in prompt
ness and obedience to authority are
invaluable.
There are no bad Influences about
Dahlonega. The .place Is clean, the olr
pure, the surroundings uplifting. Tho
people have never learned to bo selfish
nnd are devoted to the school and the
students. So altogether you can • see
why Dahlonega Is such an Ideal pine*?
The capsized launch was the Recrea
tion, owned by I>rs. Stewart nnd Wag
ner, and carried the fourteen people
mentioned.
During the first race tho launch got
In tho way of the eight oared sheds
nnd its wash was such that officials
reprimanded Its crew and ordered them
out of the way. There was some show
of resentment at this order and the
launch headed for tho shore, but mis
calculated Its course and striking tho
strong undertow, caused by a mill race,
rocked for a moment and as the pas
sengers rushed to one side, turned
turtle.
Only n few* of tho thousands of peo
ple that lined the shore witnessed the
accident, but the police Immediately
set to work to recover the bodies.
The cheering for the competing
crews ns they passed tlie scene of tho
tragedy nnd the shrill and deafening
whistle of the pleasure craft continued
while the bodies of the unfortunate
victims were being grappled for, drag
ged Into view and sent to the police
station.
Major Sylvester, the superintendent
of the pollco nnd Coroner Glnzebrook
were at the scene and directed tho
work of the large corps of police, de
tectives nnd volunteers assistants en
gaged in recovering and Identifying the
bodies.

anxious to do anything In his power to
end the strike.
The pnckerM declined to say this nf-
ternoon whether or not they would nc-
pt tho mediation of the mayor. They
Intimated very plainly, however, that
the answer they would give to the com
mittee of retail dealers when they de
clined to have any further conferences
with the strikers, was not likely to be
modified under present circumstances.
