BRENAU COLLEGE- CONSERVATORY GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA. Brenau College-Conservatory was founded In 1878 aa the Georgia Baptist Seminary for Young Ladles. Aa the name Indicates, It was distinctly de nominational and was controlled by the Baptist Association. The originator of the movement and the flrst pr dent of the Institution was Dr. \V I llWIIItes. then pastpr of the Baptist church In Gainesville. At Dr. Wilkes' death In 1886 the presidency of the Institution was ten dered Professor A. \V. Van Hoose and the name was changed to “The Georgia 'Female Seminary and Conservatory of Jluslc.” Professor Van Hoose acquired title to the property and the school be came lion-denominational In character. In 1893, Dr. H. J. Pearce bought jone-half Interest In the property and [during the past fourteen years the school has been under the Joint man agement of Messrs. Van Itoose and iPearce. during which time It has de veloped from u boarding patronuge of ‘about forty In 1893 to more than two hundred and fifty In 1907. ■ The change of name took place In {0900. The management deckled that .the old name was not sufficiently dis tinctive nnd they decided to undertake the creation of a name which would be ■both significant and easy to remem ber. Brenau was the result of much {deliberation and study. This Is a hy brid word, composed of two abbrevia tions, bren standing for the German b'brennen," "to burn," and “au” stand ing for the Latin "auruin,” "gold.” The significance attributed to the complete 'word "Brenau” Is "burnt gold"—gold •that haa been refined tty fire. This has been made the Ideal of the Institution. The growth of Brenau has been phe- tinmens!. Without denominational oi state aid—Indeed despite state taxa tlon—It has developed Into one of the largest and best equipped colleges In the South. The Alabama Brenau, at Eufaula, 'Ala., Is being developed also by Messrs. Van Hoose and Pearce after the same Ideal and It bids fair to rival the Mother Brenau In every way. At the end of Its second year It had matric ulated more than one hundred board ers and had outgrown both the old and the new building, which had just been erected. The most recent enterprise of the Brenau management Is a military Insti tute for boys which Is now being erect ed at Gainesville. This Institution will be located on the line of the electric railway two miles from Brenau, and the two Institutions will be entirely separate In every way. hut they will be under the same general management and the high Ideals of Brenau will be made also the Ideals of the school for beys. The magnificent building which has been In process, of erection for several months will not be completed before next spring and the school will be opened In September, 1908. TYBEE.

NEEL, of Bartow. The authors and ndvocates of the tate prohibition bill In the legisla ture keenly appreciate and will Itlnd- ly remember the ’splendid spirit of helpfulness and co-operation shown, by the city of Atlanta This spirit was as grateful to us as ft tens unexpected. The rountry mem bers came to Atlanta expecting to encounter strong opposition to state prohibition. We thought, the Atlanta atmosphere would be tainted with hlsky. Instead we encountered strong, sure and steady currents of lorul public sentiment In favor of prohibition. In social, business and political circles In this splendid capital city we found a sentiment that was crisp, clear-cut and cheering; a sentiment that braced and cheered us for the fight. It Is a privilege and pleasure to pay tribute to this wholesome and helpful Atlanta spirit. Heretofore there has sometimes seemed to exist a spirit of antagonism between Atlanta and the rural aectlona of the state. That spirit now gives place to ono of confidence and co-operation. This Is well for At lanta and the state. It presages greater things for both. Georgia Is steadily pouring Into At lanta the brightest and best of her sons and daughters, who aro coming here aa bread-winners and workers In the army of men and women who are helping to make the city great. An nually the country countlea are sending about ten thousand of these fresh, vigorous, ambitious boys and glrla to this city. They come from quiet roun try homos. They come In health and hopefulness. They come encompassed by the love and prayers of the dear old folks at home. They are a rich contribution to the city's growth and greatness. They are like the sweet, sparkling streams that come down from the hills to swell and purify the cur rents of the great rivers. There Is scarcely a home In all the state that Is not In some way tied to Atlanta. As the representative of one of these country counties, that has con tributed generously of Its sons anil daughters to this great and growing City, I cannot but rejoice over the Increasing evidences of civic rlghteoue- ness In Atlanta. s of the controlling purposes In my mind, In working and voting for state prohibition, was to save our great capital city from the curse and blight of the legalized liquor traffic, bo that our country boys and girls could come here without being exposed to tho perils and .temptations of the lnlquttlous bar room business. I greatly rejoice to ihlnk that At lanta la learning that It pays to be morally clean; that It Is profitable to hold out Inducements for the better class to become citizens nnd city build, era. The only true prosperity Is that founded on honest methods and moral purposes. As Atlanta grows Into an understanding of this proposition her real greatness will enlarge. It la my clear and confident conviction that never In her history has Atlanta had a clearer or stronger conception of duty nnd opportunity along moral lines than nt the present momont. I con gratulate the city und the state that this Is so. EDGAR DUNLAP, INSURANCE, PRUDENTIAL BUILDING, ATLANTA, GA. HON. W. J. NEEL, OF BARTOW. He Is Joint author with Hon. W. A.
