and is the oldest printer within ray

.... when I saw the plate coming my
thi% way wa; that now was rr.y opportunity
to free my conscience of its worrl
and to give that five-dollar bill. It
was not only getting rid of it. but giv
ing to a cause that really r.c tied It
and needed It bad. By the tlm
plate reached me I was basking In the
warm glow of satisfaction, and felt real
good and comfortable. So I gave It up
willingly, cheerfully.
But after the plate had passed on.
and the second thought came, between
you and me, I felt ashamed. A sort of
cold chill came over me. "What had I
given to the home mission cause? Not
a cent. That bill did not belong to me.
and might have been the last money of
some poor man or woman, perhaps
saved up for the house rent, and I had
simply given It away with a flourish
nr my own. I was perhaps regarded by
the man who carried the plate around
as a cheerful and liberal giver to,the
cause of homo mls-ions. Perhaps he
would mention the foot of my liberality
to his brother officers of the church,
and they would say some good things
about me. Just as I imagine they do
sometimes.
• • • •
Thus, thinking It all over, I came to
the conclusion that I was nothing more
n:r less than a fraud. I was masquer
ading. In short. I had done the hypo
crite act. All during the rest of the
services I was thinking only of that
five-dollar bill. The figure 5 was
everywhere. The hymn-bulletin
showed the next hymn to have a 5 In
it. The feathers on the hat of the lady
in front of me cruelly curled up Into a
5. Even the color of the bill pursued
me. There were more green ribbons
and dresses In the church than I have
ever seen before. If I looked out of th*
window the trees md ‘he grass looked
greener than ever. I was simply mis
erable, and all on account of that .five-
dollar bill. I wished a thousand times
that it had not fallen my way. Of
course It might do a lot of good, spent
c.3 I knew it would be spent In home
mission work—might put bread in the
mouth of some hungry person, but who
contributed it? Surely not I. It was
the unknown loser, be he or she whom
that may be, and unless the recording
angel know, he or she would never be
credited with it. And what would the
recording angel write against my name,
knowing that I hadn’t given a cent of
my own money?
• e *
I hope I will never find another five-
dollar bill, but if I should be so un-
fotrunato. I shall threw a sop to con
science and advertise it, if it takes the
whole five dollars.
Those were the days of the tramp
printers, nnd. slrange to say, these
were made uo of good first-class nrin-
ere. taking them all In all. Really, a
poor printer couldn't very well travel,
because he could get tut very iittle
work. As a general tiling, the tramp
printer was n fine workman, but he hsd
what is now known as the wanderlust,
and he only wanled to stay a few days
in eaoh town. He was the original
globe-trotter, and he wanted to sea the
world by ssetions. He might have
walked into town and found an abund
ance of work, but in nine cases out of
ten he would work days enough to r*t
a Clean shirt end a new pair of socks,
a few square meals and a lot of liquor,
and off l.t war. gone, with the home
printers tugging at his coat-tails beg
ging him to stay and work. But no
more work for him.
• « •
I don’t suppose it interests the gen
eral reader—this stuff I have written
about printers—but when Capt. Dure
told me of the old days when he set
type. I couldn't resist saying some
thing about them.

whether there is any nleasure In pick

Walter Lamnna. was about given up to

no trace whatever of the child. No threats

such is his personality that he controls
almost entirely through the hold which
that personality gives him over each
and every student. The result is that
the moral atmosphere and the general ,
tone of the university is undoubtedly !
better than ever before. "We therefore, ;
congratulate most heartily the trus

life and character that he has be- I
come at once both the idol and Ideal
of our growing youth. Under his effi
cient administration the university,
with the best equipment it has ever
had. a faculty of scholarly gentlemen
well trained and fitted for their work,
with the highest enrollment in all its
history of more than a century’s
growth, may well pride itself upon the
success which it has achieved.
Its Future.
The university has rendered a great
and definite service in human cul
ture and character in an age of na
tional development. It must broaden
it sscope, increase its purpose. There

His’ory and Sociology.
French and German—We recommend
that French and German be placed on
the same basis, and that an add'tional
instructor be employed in the French
department

crowded that the professors are work
ed to an extent that should not lone-et
! he permitted. In order to give relief
I more than whatever amount may thus
| be expended.
A techincal school o' chemistry
should therefore be established for tie
development of this and other pur
poses. We further recommend that
two fellowships paving two hundred
: and fifty dollars each per yeir be es-
1 tab ished in order that proper assist
ance may be given in the laboratory of
this department. We most hearffly
commend the able and efficient work
of Dr. Moore in this department and
trust that the university may yet have
his services for years *o come
| The Agricultural College of Georgia.
; One of the greatest forward steps
the State has ever made is in the es
tablishment of the agricultural college.
In reference to this college we held a
conference with Dean Soule lasting
four hours. We must confess that his
ideals and plans were a revelation to
us and if his plans are calrrled out and
his ideals are realized the ignorance of
this great industry will be banished
from the State. We are thoroughly
convinced that this institution will re
sult In the greatest good to the State
In the development of its agricultural
resources. Dean Soule most cheerfully
places himself and this institution at
the service of every farmer of the
State, and asks that they submit any
Question or problem they may desire'.
They are assured that all questions
will receive a prompt and definite an
swer. The dean of this college desires
to come In personal touch and contact
with every farmer in the State.
The proposed building of the agri
cultural college will be one of the
most perfect and complete buildings of
its kind in the State. It is adapted to
house an experiment station and such
a station is absolutely necessary in
this department. In view of the fact
that the experiment station can be
maintained at much less cost in the
agriculture college we recommend that
the board of trustees look into the
advisability of moving the State Ex
periment Station to the Agricultural
College.
There should be a close relationship
between the Agricultural College and
the district schools.
We were delighted with our visit to
the university farm of over nine hun
dred acres. We believe that the man
ager of the farm. Prof. Johnson, is a
most competent man. He has done a
cornmendab'e work considering the re
sources at hand, but much remains to
be' done. On this farm many imple
ments are needed, but the greatest
need Is a more commodious barn. We
recommend that the house in which
the professor lives be repainted and
repaired.
In the gift of the Brittain farm to
the university we have but another in
stance of the generosity and devotion
to the university of its greatest bene
factor and friend. Dr. George Foster
Peabody. Future venerations will rise
up and call him b’esred.
We heartily endorse the publication
of the Agricultural Annual bv the Ag
ricultural Chib of the university. It
reflects credit upon the agricultural
students. Imsn’urh as the number of
bulletins published by the university Is
increasing we recommend an increased
appropriation for this purpose. All of
the bul'ctins issued by the university
are rendering great service to the
State.
Thanks to Hen. J. J. Conner and tho
Last Legislature.
We desire to thank Maj. Conner and
the members of the last Legislature
for the' interest manifested in educa
tion. and especially In the university
by the passago of the Conner hill ap
propriating one hundred thousand dol
lars for the Agricultural College We
earnestly request a most liberal sup
port for this inFtitut'on.
Universitly Extension.
This is one of .the greatest works of
the university and we desire to thank
rhau''eI!or Barrow and Messrs. T-. J.
Shackleford and Harry Hodgson for
their self-sacrificing work in forward
ing this movement.
Amendment to Co-vict Act Recom
mended.
We recommend such an amendment
to the convict ect as will empower
the orison commission of Georgia to
place at the service of the University
a limited number of convicts and a
guard in order that the campus which
is In much need of otte”tion should
he beautified, and that thev may he
used and worked on the University
Extension farm.
- Scholarship.
The work of students is good. It is
not ideal. It might be better Natural
ly mnnv who come here are indiff”’-
ent and some are unprepared. We
have asked all 'he various professors
for a written rpvort of the number
of those who failed in their depart
ment. We find that this number is
noi abnormally large, yet we regret
that there are more than we could
wish, but this is not attributable, so
far as we can see to anv circumstances
over which the faculty has control.
all others who have so nob’y contrib
uted to the erection of this building.
Chapter Houses.
We respectfully request that the board
of trustees Inquire into the advisability
of offering each, fraternity in the univer
sity a site for their chapter houses. Such
houses to be of such cost and design as
will meet the demands of the university
architect.
Dormitories.
The condition Of Candler Kail and Netv
College is most displeasing. The sooner
these are repaired and put In good order,
the sooner wfii a depressing influence be
removed from the student body. We
urge a most prompt action in this par
ticular.
Library.

We recommend that Miss Man- Wilde, '
on account of faithful and efficient serv
ice, be retained as cataloguer.
Literary Societies.
From a conference with students and
professors nnd from one of our members |
who attended a meeting of one of the j
societies during our stay, we find that
the attendance upon the literary socle- ]
ties has been good, if not satisfactory
and that the interest is steadily on the
increase. The young men are to b e con
gratulated upon this statq of affair", for
such at one time could not be said of
these societies. They are not yet doing
ideal work, but we commend the atten
tion that the profess :>- 3 of English are
giving them and recommend that every
student take advantage of the opportunity
herein afforded, as these societies should
do more to develop than any other part
of the university.
Athletics.
We realize that in athletics lest there
is danger of too much time and attention
be given them, and lest the physical be
-iron more attention than the mental.
We, however, have examined carefully
into the method of conducting same at
the university and find that the system
is good. We have ascertained upon In
vestigation that no one is’ allowed to

linouent. and that during the pres»nr

its life is more complex. Its problems
more difficult, but whatever the prob

university must prepare young man to

changing ideals, and hence a chang
ing curriculum. The curriculum must
be broadened—every subject must be
treated. It must confront and meet
our future needs. To meet these
money must be had, hut when the

Fifty Thousand Dollars Recommended.
In order to meet the absolute needs
of the university we recommend that
the legislature aopronriate to the uni

renlace the amount to.;?e used for the
support of the Agricultural Cclieee of

State. The head of this department
should give his entire time to the

this there should he an Instructor elect

Physics—We recommend an appro
priation of five hundred dollars to this
department and the election of a lab-
ratorv assistant at a salary of one
hundred dollars yer year.
Engineering—We recommend
for Professor Strah.an the purchase of

Thanks to the City Council of Athens.
The thanks of the trustees are due
to the city council of Athens fir vot
ing in favor of a bond issue., and in
calling an election, the purpose of
which is to bond the city for twenty-
five thousand dollars, which amount
is to be contributed, in the event that
he election carries, to the University
Extension fund. Such a spirit on the
part of the city council of Athens is
worthy of more than passing notice
and we herein ask that an expression
of appreciation in this particular be
voiced by the board of trustees.
New Buildings.
We note the establishment of an
infirmary on the campus which Is <o
be called the Crawford W. Long In
firmary. In honoring a Georgian
worthy to be ranked among the
world’s greatest benefactors, and in
doing a work which will receive tho
appreciation of every future student
of the University, the chancellor is to
be commended for his thoughtfulness
in establishing this much needed in
stitution. We find that this is hut one
of the many Instances of the big heart
edness of the chancellor. *
Old College.
We recommend that Old College be
torn down, and the material of which
it is made be used in the cons'ructlon
of a new building which shall retain
the form and design of the old, this
to be placed on some other location on
the caihpus.
The board of trustees should build
as early as practicable a building to
be known as the Scientific School and
another to be designated as the
School of Educa'ion the first fo house
the department of physics and electri
cal engineering, the latter to be given
to the School of Education which we
most heartily recommend. The litter
should be provided to accommodate
the psychological and pedagogical
laboratories and class rooms. We
urge that the preliminary steps be
taken to secure these buildings early
as possible.
A University Young Men’s Christian
Asseciation.
We recommend every effort now be
ing made for the erection of a seven
ty-five thousand dollar building on the
Campus for the Toung Men's Christian
Association. This is one of the great- ,
est needs of the University. The V6ry .
fact that during the past year more I
than six score young men were in tlm {
Bible classes of the Y. M. C. A., and I
that the students voluntarily gave
sixty-five hundred dollars of the
requisite amount a’test the spirit of
the student body In reference to this
great work. With this building there

greatly needed. Too much preiso can

MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 16.—In
a statement issued Saturday, Governor
Comer made plain the following facts:
He will-appoint John H. Bankhead to

he Interprets the primary with regard
to the alterna’e for senator as binding
only upon the executive to fill the of
fice by appointment pending a meet
ing of the legislature, and not in any
sense binding upon the legislature. In
case of failure .of tho legislature to
elect or provide for a primary to make
a selection, he will ask the authorities
of the party to order a primary, that
the people may express their choice.
He is governor for four years, pledged
to the people to carry out the will of
the platform and will not during that
time under any circumstances, allow
the use of his name for the United
