1 " THE MILLEDGEVILLE NEWS. VOL. VI 1 1. NO. 40. MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1909. $1.00 Per Annum The State Normal School And The G. N. & I. C. And What They Are Doing For The Schools of Georgia. The State Normal School at Athens, Co. and the Georgia Normal and In dustrial College of Milledgeville are two of the best Normal Schools of our country. This information about the ■State Normal School is given with the belief that the readers of The News are deeply interested in the great work that not only tbe G. N. & 1. College, but al so the State Normal School is accom plishing and the good that is coming to our State through thesetwo institutions. The State Noi mal School of Georgia was established at Athens in 1831, «nd came in reponse to the need and desire for teachers in the public schooie of Georgia. It had its beginning in the building that was known as Koci; Col lege, and for the first three years it was open only during the summer, but as the state began to realize the great need for the better equipment <rf teach ers, arrangements were made for a full session of nine months. The school has been steadily growing from that time and now there are seven lurge brick buildings and two or tfecoie smaller wooden ones on the large campus. Eight years ago there were only nine teachers in the faculty.winlo now there are sixteen departmerts, presided over by twenty-nine of the beet teachers of the South. The purpose of the State Normal School is to educate and train teachers for the common school «i Georgia, and the opportunities for academic scholar ship are among the best tn the state. A large part of the work is a thorough reviewing of the comnrn school sub jects with a view to taaahing them. This school offers the usual academic courses with the addition of common School Music with Choc** work, lntru- mental Music, Elementary Agriculture, Domestic Arts and Sciences, Manual Arts and Physical Culture. The students may take a four-year course, taking common school review work the first year and regular academic work the next three. Ihose students who have diplomas from high schools or colleges can take a two-year elective course for an elective diploma. In the senior year the students ate required to do four periods of practice teaching each week in the Muscogee Elementary school. This school has about 130 pupils with six teachers and eight grades, covering the whole course of common school work. The work in this school is bared upon the experience of the child and is meant to meet the needs which arise in his daily life. All the practice teaching is carried on un der the observation and supervision of the best teachers in the school and giver those students who do this teaching an experience in teaching by the best and most approved methods of the present ■dav, and fits them for doing that kind of work which is most needed to make the schools of Georgia more nearly what they should be. For those teachers who cannot come lor a whole year, a common school re view course is offered, which covers the common school work in four or five months, giving in addition to the com mon school studies, two periods a week of,theory and practice and methods of teaching. The religious an 1 social organizations of the school, the Y. M. C. A. the Y. W. C. A. the young men's literary societies, and the young ladies literary societies,aro great help in all the school life. The State Normal School has sent only 478 graduates, but they have proved to be some of the best teachers of the state. This school together with the Georgia Normal and Industrial College at Milledgeville. cannot supply the great demand for normal trained teachers, yet we feel sure that with their steady growth year by year the time is not far distant when their in fluence will be felt in every school in Georgia. $35,000 IS WANTED CART.

Allen Says Baldwin County Is Alive. The Savannah Morning Newt said Wednesday: Optimistic as to the future, very en couraging as to the present, and in | that genial manner of his tlmt has won I for him many staunch friends through out the state, Judge John T. AlleD of j Milledgeville, in an interview with u | representative of the Morning New s last night, told of the remarkable pro gress his home town and county has made. He said the Baldwin county ! commissioners were active in their Work for good roads. “And the good ones now enjoyed in the county are go ing to be made better,’ said he. •’Since we can’t have a main line railroad, I think the next best tiling is the main turnpike of tile state, which will be from Atlanta to Savannah. The development which is bound to come with the agitation throughout the state cannot be estimated, at this time. There is no limit to the possibil ities in store for tbe people of Georgia with a system of good roads as is now planned. Baldwin’s argument for the Savannah-Atlanta road is going to be a great one —fine roads and a co-opera tive people a'ong the route. ' “Business conditions generally have improved considerably. The fall will undoubtedly give trade in all lines a boost. The cotton crop is fully as large as last season, while the corn and wheat crops are unusually fine. “The progress of Milledgeville lately i is such that a handsome city hall has i been erected,a three-story hotel,sewer age system installed, a $200,000 electric light plant built, and the paving of the j main streets is now under way. With- ! in six months work is to Degin on the Central Georgia Power Company’s 20,000 horse power hydro-electric and power plant at Furman shoals, just above Milledgeville, on the Oconee river. This plant will be a duplicate of the one now under construction on the Ocmulgee above Macon. This plant sumably white, talcing away her trunk- The next morning the officials found it nearby with the contents scettered around. Nothing was taken except the money in the trunk. The officials are quite sure in their own mind as to who committed the dastardly deed, but they are unable to obtain sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest. F. II. VAUGHAN TO ENTER MINISTRY tracted much attention and many are wondering whether the rabbit will con tinue to bo a kitten or eventually leave for rabbit land. Bowling Parties Row Quite Popular Rere So great become the demand for building lots prices of land has steadily climbed skyward in and around Mil- ledgeville. During the last few months some of the most important real estate deals in the history of the city have been male and lots that sold a few years ago tor four or five hundred dol lars have changed hands at prices three to five times the original cost. Blood- worth and Bloodworch have just purch ased 35 acres of land near the Georgia railroad depot, known as the F. G. Grimes property, and it will he cut up in building lots and sold at auction to the general public. This will enable scores of people to provide themselves with a home site and if one does not wish to build at present the property will be sure to increase rapidly in value conse iuenl.lv the enhancement will amount to a great deal more than in terest on the investment. Messrs. Bloodworth and Bloodworth are enterprising young real estate men and they have already consummated some of the most important deals of the year. Their acquaintance with values lead them to believe that Milledgeville property is the cheapest in the country j and as a result they are devoting con- ; siderable time to the business here’ j expending a great amount of money in • developing the city and in aiding '-t.hers to establish a home for themselves by providing means and selling houses and lots on easy terms. Those who con template buying some property within the next few months, or weeks, should watch and wait and investigate the property which will soon be offered for Communion Services Presbyterian Church Rev. D. W. Brannon returned Wed nesday evening from a short stay at Indian Springs to which pluco he went to recover from an attack of malaria. Mr. Brannon reports a complete re covery of lii.s usual vigorous health. Hu announces that there will be communion services at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning. After this there will be usual services held weekly in the church. ADJOURNED TERM OF RALD= WIN CO. SUPERIOR COURT. State of Georgia, Baldwin County.
