The following is the article in part: Tne Georgia Normal and Industrial college in Milledgeville is one of the most valuable of the state’s education al institutions. It has been steadily growing in favor since i's inauguration, and it has now readied the point whore its facilities aro sadly inadequate to the demand made upon them. Up wards of a thousand npplirutions for admission for the next term had been made prior to August 1, ami hundreds •f these were refused for lack of ro<m. * Tlie disappointed ones no doubt wonder why it is that they should have been the losers, nnd mny have unkind feelings fbr the college authorities. If such « the case this would be unjust. The a In issinns ure regulated by law, and whenever there are more applicants thtn there is room to take, there aro rules which govern the selection. After enumerating the rules and regu lations governing the admission of sUnlents the Herald said in conclusion: This condition of overcrowding is apt te continuo.
