There were a'.en In this office as ap prentices John and Will Bonneli one now a professor at Wesleyan, and the other died. I think, as a missionary to China. Walter G. and Lucten Smith, one now the county attorney, and the other In the real estate business, were nlso apprentices in this office. • * • I saw the other day that William H. H Barnes one of Iho most prominent Odd Fellows In the world, wa- visiting Atlanta. He new lives in California, and is the oldest printer within ray recollection. After end'ng his anrrren- ♦ Iceship in MiHedgavilie in 1850. he went to Atlanta to work on n newspa per. Then he took up the auction bus iness.

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. • • • It Is now a question with me as to whether there is any nleasure In pick ing up « five-dollar bill from the street. Of course It Js a clean oick-up. but. if you think much about ft. the pleasure of finding it finally melt# into worrv. I found one the other day all crumpled up. lust as though it hsd been thrust looselv in a man's pocket., or h».«tilT stowed away In a ladv'a hard-satshel. and pu'led out unnotticed with some thin gel**.

Italian ex citement appears to have subsided very much. such is his personality that he controls almost entirely through the hold which that personality gives him over each and every student.

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.

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.

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.

At Sapulpa. speaking of the | proposed Oklahoma legislation, he said: "It is a very good elementary law.” “Would you regard the legislation as too much in the nature of a legis lative measure?” He was asked. "Too much can never be put into a constitution." he replied. its life is more complex. Its problems more difficult, but whatever the prob lem—whether In law. agriculture, med icine, manufacture or commerce—the university must prepare young man to solve them. A changing society means 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 people of Georgia contemplate the magnificent contribution which the State of Alabama has just made to Its higher educational institutions. we trust, in the words of a citizen of Athens, that “the everlasting miserere of impecunioslty” will be heard no TAFT MAKIS SPEECHES FROM PLATFORM OF CAR SIOUX CITY.

June 16.—Edmond DeRoth- schild's Sana Souei II today won the Grand Prix De Paris, which was run under th® most favorable conditions There was a brilliant assembly of spectator*. Including the king and quaen of Danmark and President Fal- lieres. Whether the money needed for the university is given depends upon the represnta’ives of the peooie. but such Is our belief in the temper and sniirt of this people th.it w*e feel confident they will not withhold it. A th:u*and times over, even in the lives of the six thous and young men alone who have passed under the Instruction of the present Idea] chancellor, has the sum been re paid which the State gives to the Uni versity. Fifty Thousand Dollars Recommended. In order to meet the absolute needs of the university we recommend that the legislature aopronriate to the uni versity proper fifty thousand dollars to renlace the amount to.;?e used for the support of the Agricultural Cclieee of Georgia from tie Lard Script Fund and the Federal Grant. Dapartment of Commerce and Finance. A’readv the university hae Its college of liberal arts, medicine, law. eng:ne#r- 'ne. pharmacy, etc., but litt'e attention he* been given to that great care*r wh'ch yearly enlf't* more voung men than #!' other combined—th* magn'fi- cent field of modem business The Bology—The building which houses this department is a credit to the State. The head of this department should give his entire time to the biological and phvsio’ogical sides of the work. In order that he may do this there should he an Instructor elect ed who has "neciallzed in botany. 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 two new levels, as the number now en hard is inadequate causing a great loss J of time. A cement testing labratory Is I most urgently needed. The needs of i this denartment may bs met ihy a small appropriation, yet this appropriation Is I very necessary. | Military Department, j This wo find 1 nthe highest state of j efficiency. The band is a great in- : spirati.'n to the "tudent body, and the I work of the band master is worthy of i the compensation of the board, j The institution is to be congratulated upon having a United States officer so I able and efficent as is Major Kim- I broueh detailed to its service. State Ciliege of Agriculture and ! Mechnic Arts—We desire to express I our ap—eciation of the ability of Dr. H. C. White in his administration of the affairs of the State college. Whilst it Is true that the equipment of the laboratories is apparently adequate, yet to realize the ideals and ambitions of the head of this department more equipment is sosolutely necessary, if the State is to utilize this plant for the high*"t -m-pose to which it can be put in the development of the wealth and resources of the State. If this equipment is furnished the clay, pot tery and other new industries of the State would be developed in ruch We find that there is generally speak ing. a healthy condition. 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 *TD come a gymnasium which is greatly needed. Too much preiso can not be given Mr. Woods White, the IIIK HOY TO MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 16.—In a statement issued Saturday, Governor Comer made plain the following facts: He will-appoint John H. Bankhead to the vacant United States senatorship; 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 States senatorship.
