COLONEL JI. J. HfIJWOHD’S GREAT SPEECH Full Text of His Magnificent Defense of the University of Geor gia Delivered Before the General Assembly. Mr. I'rcsldent, Mr. Speaker and Gcntlc.- m< n of the General Assembly: 1 am the mouthpiece this morning, by authority, of tile board of trustees of the university. They by law are public servants, subject to the control of the general assembly. In the university no man of them lias any personal interest. For serving the univer sity, no man of them gets any pay, except occasional thanks ami much criticism. Wo li.iv- been selected according to the forms of law to take charge of a great public intcK-st. You, as tin- guardians over us, are inquiring into that administration. We u ,r- to present in our own waj subject, if you phase, to any questions which yon d -ire Io ask upon any pertinent question, the views which we have on tile important ii.:.tiers which now divide public Sctiti- The Hostile Sentiment. I may be pardoned for saying that there is :n the air some hostile sentiment to tn iv. rsity. I believe that <-vety man who f. nkindly Io it feels so b. cause lie is m' i nformed or uninformed as to the m ole facts concerning the matter. It is ... : " cl uncommon for everybody to m:.- ak. s about everything, ami • . r. for. it is no harm for everybody, never Int lligent they are and whatever po.-ition, to hear both sides before . a judgment. When I was a gehool- n tin- little copy of "Watts on the c d. in which I leaned to read, th.ro storj : Timon had a dog, which w.-m into a. church on the Sabbath day, t mau palled out Ids pistol and shot h ■ d< id An old sist< r said: "What mi ' T.men's dog was th. gentlest the city, the most lovable dog In • mly. and for that man to shoot him! business had he with a pistol in his ket ami to shoot it off at that dog while gospel was bi ing preached .- man said, "Wait, that was tile best . in town, that is true, but he w.-nt n ’" and the old sister then said: "What a blessing it was that th< man had his p iol and could shoot him to prevent uni being done!" Sh. had simply heard . •■■m t'm other side and changed her opin- • • thnf was all. She was right on the ■ : which she first had; she got rigid on : li the facts, by a change in 1., r mind, after hearing the other side. Trustees Not Notified. You v. II observe now tliat the joint com mittee was mad.- and intti.-l.d with asp-- , , object. Its number was twelve, iiko I a imy. It was to notify the trustees of tno on, so that tin trustees might and ' - min w itnesses, cro . : and di that.

But limy ar.' men who I think are mistaken, and I am willing for nobody to -x-amine Hie facts and see who is right. Let. us take, for instance, some other history, to illus trate the matter. Manual Labor Schools. in 1.877. George G. Smith, Jr., of tlie North Georgia conference of the Method ist Episcopal church, south, published his “History of Methodism in Georgia and Florida” At page 500, after having giv< n the strug gle between Culloden and Covington for tin location of a church school, and hav ing stated that Covington was si ieet.'d as tlm place, and told what ;-.r. at preparations w.rc m,id.- for its success, the author stated as follows: "For four years the Manual Labor school progrcss- tl with almost unprecedented pop ularity, such xvas the public desire to connect a knowledge of agricultural pur wltl a coursi of literary and scien tiiie in. trti' tlon in the education of tin young of our sex. Tlie college board then bought out tile concern, assumed its debts, and the sy’.stem xvas abandoned. It is true that among so large a number of students, isly embed and received from all classes of society, and during the prev alence of our 'peculiar Institution.' there were many pupils xx’ho were reluctant to confottn io tim rules am! duties of the farming department. Such annoyances wi re to tie . xp» e-.-d In working out this com plex regime, so novel and untried in the south. But this was not regarded as the primary ami fundamental cause for aban the system. It was debt, constat accumulating, inexorable debt. To k< ' p tii.- complhated machinery in motion r< - quired the inevitable incurrence of ex penses xvhich tlie utmost possible el' ir in- .. : om tlx farm proved insufficient to meet. To supply so large a body of in exp' ricne. d workers, for only three hours in the afternoon of etch day, it I»eame necessary to stock the farm with two or thr"" times as many hors-s or mule.-, plows and gears, h axt s, etc., as any thrifty farmer would require, who could emplox’ his hands in cultivation during tlm Who!. ’day. Saturday’ included, imt xxhii fi, by long standing usage in otli< r schools - tin- stud, ms claimed. From this triple supply of farm ng implements there was m<i .- arily a greater loss by breakage, waste, blacksmi'h's bills, etc,, to xxhica max- bi- superadded the large annual amount paid to the students tot < x.-ty . ,k, and the inti i ' ‘ ■ i invested without corn spending returns from th.- farm. It proved to !>••. I !'• x !"i an onerous, unprofitable and losing eiiti r pi'ise. ami prudence t-<1" nd its .ibam 1 oii mctit'. Ami the same fruitful sour"'s of finimial di-eister ImV' e.'.nsed th" failure of almost every otln.r similar esi.alilishment i the north and west. I’erhap:.. liownver. an institution supplied with a large 'sink ing fund’ or a lib- ral endowment might lie , • ■ . . i . tin and thus securing the bem fits w hleh tlie combination of labor xxlth study promis a to bestow.” If tliat witness, George Smith, bo not satisfactory because the time about wl’.i' li he spok" is long ago, let mi- call attention to Senator Morrill, the father of this sys tem, a man of great learning and great lu tite neo throughout the union, still In his old ag" a leading senator. In 189.3 he said: "Berhai's the most expensive system of education of any in the world is the sys tem of practical science so taught as to give it broader field for the industrial classes;’’ and Senator Blair, chairman of the committee on educational labor in the s< n ite of the I'nlt-'d Stat'-s, on the 17th of May, 1890. said: "Perhaps, contrary to the gi in ral impression, the proper equip ment of one of these colleges is far more expensive, being at least ten times greater than that of an ordinary classical Institu tion. A college of agriculture ami mechanic is : it a cheap affair, and the sooner we awak" to the idea that it will and ought to emt s imettiing to spr. id tin- kiiu't•.< d of facts ami principles xvlifeh xxill change I Hie drud' ' rv of common toil to the ditrni ' tv ind d-llght of intellectual and . nnoblim o. cup:'■ ions.
