THE WORK OF THE G. N. & I. COLLEGE.
I11 a great state like Georgia, there is ample room for
greater work among all the colleges and s-hools within its
borders, and each year new methods should be employed
•whereby greater results might foil w in the operations of
her educational institutions.
When we speak of results in the matter of carrying on
our work in the advancement of education, our reference
In this respect pertains to both appropriations and actual
accomplishments. The thing we are mostly interested in is
that of kn wing that we are doing away with illiteracy and
scattering abroad-the knowledge that is necessary to make
men and women more efficient in their ev?ry day walks of
life.
Efficiency embraces many details when we pome to look
out for ourselves and the same details are embraced when
we figure upon the work to be carried out by the masses in
making this state measure up to what should be expected
of it. It is utterly out of the question for us to accomplish
greater things in the future than we have in the part, un
Jess we pave the way to thi deHred end All this is true
in t/iking tlv. rrnuur into considnruUMi from a seii'.sh stand-
j-.;rt, and csiu-.ni) we should give thought 10 the question
from a m re serious and wor.by ii;?lc.
We feci no hesitancy in saying that located in aliliedge-
ville there is an institution of learning that is d-dng' more
real work n the advancing of education in this state than
is being accompli: bed by any similar institution in the en-
South • no Georgia Normal and Industrial College, the

LET’S WORK UP OUR UNSIGHTLY PLACES. . '
Probably the most undesirable teature now existing in J
.'dilledgeville arc the unsightly places standing vacant in j
some of our most desirable sections. These vacant lots and
old delapidated buildings are serving no manner of inter- '
est, though on the other hand they are proving detriment- j
al in too many ways to undertake to tell.
During the past decade MilledgeviUe has shown improve- !
ments in many ways almost unequaled by any little city in
Georgia, yet we have standing before our eyes every day
in the week rugged places such as would prove unattract
ive in the extreme to everyone, and especially to visitors.
These places are vacant lots, old residences, apartment
houses and shops, and neither are being used in a way so
as to- derive a particle of income for the owners and the
only tiling that can be said in connection with the state of
affairs is that the unattractive places are playing * great
part in making this city measure up, in a degree, the same
way displeasing to the eye.
We have been making mistakes for many years In trying
to spread MilledgeviUe over too much territory. In this
we have certainly accomplished everything we went after,
though the results of the accomplishment of our undertak
ings in this matter have proved unprofitable to every cit
izen in this city.
We have, already, double the street mileage that we
ouglit to have and the greater our expansion the greater
will he our tax, and the more undesirable will be the prin
cipal sections of the city. The thing we need to do is to
mprove the thoroughfares we are already occupying and
build up the vacant lots new standing idle. In this way we
will be enabled to put in improved sewerage systems, build
up better streets and provide more comfortable sidewalks
at a reasonable cost.
As stated in-the loregoing, we need not expect to build
up a modern little city and secure modern conveniences
when we undertake to practically me ve" into the country,
yet we are liable to hear people who employ this policy
make complaints of not getting returns for the amount of
tax they pay in to the city government.
There is no denying of the fact that property can be
bought on the outskirts of MilledgeviUe, as in any other
city, for less money than the same space nearer in to Hie
main sections, and those seeking to avoid paying a little
better price for a lot on which to build their home figure
on paying tax in the same.proportion. Therefore, when a
person invests his money in building in a new territory be
should expect no one to make appropriations t otlie end of
y. ilding up his surroundings.
We must, centralize and do away with unsightly vacant
ois, tear away the old unattractive and unused buildings
ind rebuild or continue to deprive ourselves of convenien
ces and general pleasing appearances.

ENEMIES OF THE WILL.
suits, such as would he hard to esti.nate, in making thb en-
vironitt"n‘3 in ihe Smaller cities and villages in Georgia
more attractive, and the work of the instit tion is being
felt en every hand. This school is operated economically
and systematically and the appropriat'ons made for its op
eratiou are iar short of the sum set aside for other educa
tional advancement work in Ueorgia, yet the results ob
tained are i.nequaled.
The wrk of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College
is beginning to bo more fully appreciated by the people of
this state and the fallowing editorial, clipped from 'he Ma
con News, should be commented upon in a most favorable
manir r by the entire press of this stats, in support of
Georgia’s crliege operated for Georgia’s womanhood:
The twenty-seventh annual commencement of the
orgia Normal and Industrial College at MilledgeviUe
marks a milestone in the career of one of the most use
ful institutions in the South.
The attendance lor the past year has been larger than
ever be ore in its history, and the n, mber of students
is now limited i nly by the capacity of the college.
The subjects taught in this gnat educational college
are such as affect in the best and most practical way
the rising generation of Georgia womanhood, and the
G. N. & I. is entitled to the hearty congratulations of
■ the entire state.
President Parks and his able staff of teachers may
enjoy the satisfaction . f knowing that their work is
duly appreciated by the people of Georgia, who wish
them abundant success in the future.
The fundamental principle responsible for the good work
being accomplished by the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College can be relied upon as an asset to the extent cf ex
tending educational work in greater volume than by any
other institution in Georgia.

TO HAVE NO OPPOSITION.
From The Sparta Ishmaelite.
While there was some suggestion made a short while
ago that Judge Walker would be a candidate for Congreq3
in opposition to Hon. Carl Vinson, we have been advised
that lie has concluded not to bee: mo a candidate at this
time, and The Ishmaelite commends very highly the good
judgement and patriotism he has shown in his decision.
Hon. Carl Vinson, our present able and efticient Repres
entative in Congress, has made an enviaable and splendid
record, ‘and as we have always believed that men should
be rewarded for their merit, and for faithful service ren
dered, we feel that he should bo re-elected without opposi
tion. He has been one of the few members from Geor
gia. who, at all times, has stood squarely behind the Ad
ministration and the wisdom of bis statesmenship day by
day becomes clearer and more apparent.
There is no time for political differences and political
contests that involve the gratification of personal ambition
and certainly no other issue could be raised against Mr.
Vinson, unless his opponent places himself upon a plat
form jot disloyalty, for no true and loyal citizen of the
Tenth District can find objection to the present Congress
man upon this score.
There seems to be a general spirit thru the entire coun
try to return the members of both House and Senate,
whether Democrats or Republicans, who have stood loy
ally by the President and the Government, and we are de
lighted to find that this same sentiment has so strongly
crystalized in this District, and we extend to Congress
man Vinson our congratulations, v
By H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
A strong will is one of the most desirable of possessions.
But to maintain strength of will is not always easy. Tl.
will has many enemies.
Conspicuous ani-ng these is bodily weakness. Anything
that lowers the muscular and nervous jtono has a. tendency
to lower the will power.
For this reason it is imperative, in order to keep or gain
a strong will, to put into practice tile principles of mental
hygiene.
Thus many men weaken their wills by eating to- m ch,
by exercising not at ail, by sleeping doo little, by denying
themselves a sufficiency of fresh air.
All these sygienic indiscretions affect the digestion, cir
culation, etc. This mehns that they impair the quality of
the brain’s nutrition. As a consequence the will, in com
mon with the reasoning power, is harmfully affected.
Inactivity, physical or mental, is another potent enemy
i f the will. The 111ler is inevitably weak willed, if only be
cause he is an idler.
For effort, energetic effort, is Indispensable to continued
well-being of the whole organism. And energetic effort is
precisely the thing most disliked by the indolent.
Wherefore wealth must bo listed among the forces that
oft i n undermine will power As more elaborately stated
by the observant Dr. Robert S. Cnrroll:
“Wealth, plenty, the unwise provisions of ancestry have
removed from the lives of too many the necessity for spe
cial effort or sacrifice; and so, in the midst of affluence and
surrounded by the richest of opportunities, many will-less,
spineless Imitations cf manhood and womanhood develop.
“Absence of effort means absence of will, and the ab
sence of will too frequently makes impossible the effort di
rected by reason, and thus a vicious circle may be estab
lished.’’
Also there are distinctly physic enemies of the will.
Fear is one of these.
Through unwise training in early life many people are
continually beset by fears cf all kinds. They allow them
selves even to fear irrationally, and in the grip of their
tears are absolutely incapable of exerting will power.
Much people need special treatment as truly as those phy
sically 111. They need treatment to banish their haunting
dreads and give reason an opportunity to open the door for
tlte will devei: pment they ro painfully lack.
Self-pity, too, is a dire enemy of the will.
When a man begins to pity himself—whether for bodily
maladies, financial reverses, or whatever It may be—that
moment he puts a blight on his will power.
For the attitude of self-pity is essentially the attitude of
surrender. And with surrender effort ceases.

Lastly, self-indulgence must be rated among the worst of
all enemies of the will.
That Awful Eengleesh.
“This Eengleesh language I cannot unerstan’," wailed the
poor French soldier to his English friend. "Now, zee ’ear,

“An’ xen 1 find zis in zee Eengleesh newspaper: ‘Ze first

guage. It is awful!” London Ideas.
The self-indulgent scarcely knew the meaning of the
word "sacrifice.” Yet without sacrifice will power cannot

"The whole story of human and personal progress is an
unmitigated tale of denials today—Oenials of rest, denials
of repose and ermfort and ease and pleasure—that tomor
row may be richer.’’
Accordingly, for the development and conservation of will
power this formula may be suggested:
Practice personal hygiene, keep actively at work, think
courageously, avoid self-pity and self indulgence, practice
self-denial. Thus you most surely can safeguard your will
against Jts mniy enemies.
