President Hall Explains.
Editor Home Journal,
Perry, Ga.
Dear Sir: Some one has
sent me a copy of your paper of No
vember 27,. which contains some
criticism of the School of Technolo
gy. p For the kind words you have
said, please accept my thanks.
„The question as to why so few
mem have graduated in the past has
been frequently, asked and satisfac
torily answered. . Referring to the
class of 1900, in June of that year
there were 14 seniors in attendance,
and there had been 82 enrolled in
the class altogether. The tabulation
as to the cause of leaving was as
follows:
Deaths
Left for financial reasons.....
Left for bad conduct ",..
Left because of no talent for
this kind of work
1 Left for not studying,.......
Left for mental deficiency.. ..
Left to go to work.
Left on account of health....
Reason for leaving unknown.. 14
Present...... 14

The December number of the Wo
man’s Home Companion is a true
Santa Claus’ pack of good things. It
opens with a charming poem, “The
Carving of Fra Bernardo,” which is
full of the spirit of the season. “The
Prodigal’s Christmas” and “A Broth
er toToodles” are both good old-
time Christmas stories. There are
two other short stories, “A Game of
Love” and “A Congressional Epi
sode.” Feature articles that are par
ticularly seasonable are, “Where the
Toys Come From,” t‘The Strange
Origin of Familiar Toys” and “The
Amazing History of the Streeter-
ville War.” Teachers and parents
will be interested in the Christmas
cantata, “The Four Santa Clauses.”
The departments are overflowing
with practical articles. “Gifts for
Baby’s Layette,” “Christmas Pres
ents of Yellow Sheepskin” and “In
expensive Christmas Gifts” are some
of the titles. Published by The
Crowell Publishing Co., Springfield

It will be seen^from the above
that no one cause can be assigned
for students having left. However,
our experience has been that most
of those who leave get offers of po
sitions and prefer going to work to
continuing their courses here. This
fully answers the question why there
were so few in that class. We are
graduating a larger percentage now
than formerly, on account of the re
alization among the students that
the diploma is worth a great deal,
and. fewer wish to leave before grad
uation than formerly. Those who
have no diplomas but who are here
two years or longer are not regard
ed as failures, as stated in your arti
cle, but they are in nearly every in
stance valuably men and take prom
inent positions. The board of trus
tees do not have any secret as to
why students leave the institution,
■ .1 information as to cause of leav-
i- s always accessible to any citi-
f the state if he will address an
4.ury to the trustees or to^myself.
iour statement that any violation is
punished by suspension from recita
tion is erroneous, as there are many
Qther penalties to correct faults.
The fact that the School enrolls a
great many more students than any
other institution in the state, and
that it is the largest technical school
in the southern states, having stu
dents who are graduates of other
technical schools and other colleges
on its'rolls, are Borne of the proofs
that the rules are not too strict.
Your statement that in 1900, 200
out of 300 applicants failed to pass
the entrance examinations is entire
ly erroneous. In ail entrance exam
inations applicants are given two
trials. \ The examinations are not
rigid and the percentage of failures
is never greater than fifteen. Any
graduate or student will tell you
that any young man of ordinary
ability may succeed here without
difficulty, if he applies himself prop
erly and continuously.
If you will kindly publish the
above to .correct the impressions
which your article alluded to must
have given to your readers, you will
do the sohool a service appreciated
by its officials and friends.
Very truly yours,
Lyman Hall, Pres.

The readers of this paper will be plehsed to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in ali its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease,-requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s catarrh Cure.is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. V
