MOST GLOWING TRIBUTE EVER PAID TO AN AMERICAN BUSINESS COLLEGE In the big advertisement appearing on tho fourth page, second section o? Tho Telegraph this morning Ig a won derfully Interesting story of the achievements of the Georgla-Alabamu Business College of Macon for the year Just closed. In tho course of a set of resolutions which the students prepared and pre sented to tho college management through a committee, appeared tho following sentence: “Wo wish to put the public on notice that If. the gen tlemen now at the head of the college aro spared for a few yearg longer, the business public In every nart of tho south will know and understand that what has heretofore seemed im possible in business education has been accomplished by tho Georgla- Alabama Business College, and that aipong the cducutlonal Institutions of this country none will bo deemed mere Important.” Another, striking clause Is: "Wo consider ourselves exceedingly fortu nate In having found a business col lege that has for Its object tho educa tion of thp student rather than tho gathering of riches." Elsewhere appears this: “In pre senting these resolutions for engross ment on tho minutes of' the college; wo do so as a happy and delighted body of students, who feel thnt if ono of our number falls to get a thorough business education here thcro Is no necessity for trying clsowhcro In America.” The resolutions also say: “We pledge ourselves io show In every possible way our appreciation by living up as nearly as we can to the high stand ards that have been raised for our guidance.” The advertisement ahowg that the praise which the public Is bestowing upon the Institution (s confined to no set.or class of people. Employers are as * enthusiastic as the students, and the students arc as delighted as theli parents. ALARMS GALORE BUT FIRES FEW 6hadow of'Smoke on Roof Causes Run of Department—All the Loses Small. Five Runs in the Day. The flro department had 6ve runs ‘in the day time yesterday. The first was a telephone alarm at 3:55 a. m., coming from OflMMbrpl ntvvet. This was tho kitchen of th* residence of Mr. Louis HHji-11*-, SIS OgteJiorp*. and t!in Are Is supposed to have been caused 1-y a firecracker, or other fireworks, as these were plentiful In that section of itie city up to a Ists hour. The flouring and roof of the kitchen was hurtles!, but tho firemen succeeded In previ-nifng tin. spread of ths flames to tha dwelling. 'I he next slnrm wsa turn'd In from box n St MO a. in.

Tb* next cams In .from ant MSI. and was the house owim I by Hr. ithufteo and occupied by Lou**. 211 Middle •One fact which has attracted at tention everywhere Is the great per centage of students who have enrolled Iff tho .college fropr Mdcon. During tho past year, tho college register shows that Macon people have fur nished about one-third of tho attend ance, and Georgia has furnished as much as North Carolina, Houth Caro lina, Florida, Alabama, * Mississippi, Virginia and -Texas. Students aro enrolled . from ,towns and cities in which there are two or moro business colleges bidding for their patronage. Ono who wntcheg tho throngs going and coming from tho college for tho various sessions each day, aro Im pressed with tho fact that n finer body of young peoplo were nover seen In any school. They consist mostly of school teachers who desire to chnngo their vocation and enter the business field; some afro college bred young men and young ladles, who rocognizo the importance of a commercial train ing for beginning their business ca reers; and others are young inon and young women who wore not ablo to •complete their literary education. And found from experience that tho busi ness college affords the shortest cut for the kind of education that enablsl one to mako a showing in the business world. Tho Instruction in tho college Is given by men who havo had excep tional opportunities to learn the thlngB that they profess to teach, and It Is their work which Is attracting so much attention throughout the coun try. It Is tbUi kind of Instruction that makes the college stand out con spicuously and draw business from every section of (he south. Students realize that they can got similar training nowhere else. The advertisement Is well .worth reading, because It shows that Macon leads every other city In educational advantages. street This was mother roof Are, caus ed by sparks, and the losn was trifling.
