THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THUBiDAY, AUGUST 8, lWr. 8 MODERN AND BEAUTIFUL IS GA. MILITARY A CADEM\ Has Complete Plant For Training and . Educating Boys. With the opening of the fall term, on September' 10. the Georgia Military Academy will begin Its school year un- <jer more favorable auspices than ever before. During the summer months there have been many Improvements made to tbe school property. Including a steam heating system for the entire Institu tion: the building of a gymnasium building, and the beautifying of the grounds. The gymnasium building that la near ing completion and will be fully com plete by the opening of the term Is of most modern architecture and Is ar ranged after Colonel Woodward's well, devised plans of giving the boys a per fectly sanitary home, unrivalled con veniences and social environments that can not be surpassed by any school. The first floor Is divided Into rooms for the Instructors, bath rooms, assem bly room and a large gymnasium room, the assembly room being divided from the gymnasium department by . a slid ing door so that It may be used as a rostrum and the large, room as an au ditorium. The second floor and the third Is arranged for dormitory pur poses, each room fitted with steam heat and electric lights from the private plants of the Institution, and on each of the floors are handsomely equipped bath rooms for the common use of the students. * In order to complete the social envi ronments of the boys there will be one of the teachers living among them—a part of them, and In constant compan ionship with the boys of each floor. The college paper will be edited from the dome of the gymnasium building In a room especially fitted for this work. With the addition of this gymnasium building arid the four other well- equipped buildings, together with the large and shady grounds, kept In per fect condition, the Georgia Military Academy will be prepared to handle Its patrons with the greatest satisfaction to all.
