THE ATLANTA GEOKGJLAN AND NiSWb.
SATURDAY, DKCLMUEli 10, 1008.
GEORGIA MILITARY ACADEMY, THE SOUTH’S LEADING COLI
LOCATED AT COLLEGE PARK,
CADET C0RP8, GEORGIA MILITARY ACADEMY, COLLEGE PRK, GA.—THIS 8PLENDID BODY OP YOUNG MEN, PHOTOGRAPHED ON THE CAMPU8 OF THE NOTED MILITARY SCHOOL. OFTEN HAS BEEN SEEN AND APPLAUDED IN aTLANtMt
G eorgia military academy, op college park.
That name, together with the wholesome atmosphere
which envelopes the institution, is being carried today
into nearly every Southern state by the manly boys pictured
above. They are journeying in every direction, more than one
hundred of them, on their way homo to spend the holidays,
after one of the most successful terms this noted school has
ever known.
That the term hns been a striking success, tho enrollment
of students up to the full limit of the institution eloquently tes
tifies. Not a vacancy existed in the ranks when school official
ly closed Inst night, and it is expected that this condition
will obtain when school reopens on January 4. Few schools
can present such an enviable record, yet tho Georgia Military
Academy has alwnys enjoyed such public confidence and loy
alty from its old pupils as to fill it to its full capacity every
year since it was founded.
The Georgian Sends a Member of Its Editorial Staff To Study
the School.
There is a reason for this school’s eminent position among
the institutions of learning. In the first place, it is founded
upon that principle which made the Greeks of old the most
powerful race, individually and collectively, the world has
ever known. “A sound mind in a Nound body” is the result
which every member of the faculty strives to accomplish day
in and day out through the school year. Added to this high
aim, there is a determination that the mind shall be filled with
the most useful knowledge and the truest conception of man
liness, character, usefulness, and lofty patriotism. To attain
these results, the management of the Academy has planned
wisely and adequately, emphasis falling (1) on a corps of
able, expert, experienced men who love boys and have power
to win their confidence and co-operation and incite them to
highest endeavor; (2) on location in tho beautiful suburb of
College Park, where the culture of its citizens, the rich moral
and social atmosphere, and the proximity to a large city with
its educational values, all conspire to make an ideal home for
a boys’ school; (3) on ample, attractive play grounds and drill
fields, where manly sports and military maneuvers ever charm
the boy and cause him to put forth his best in the develop
ment of rugged physique, yet graceful and powerful body; (4)
on commodious buildings specially designed for beauty, com
fort, and educational work, joined to the delights of a large
family life of teaohers and pupils living together; (5) on an
up-to-date equipment for the most modern methods of instruc
tion; (6) on the latest improvements in sanitation and the best
obtainable food supply; (7) on small classes,*so that every
pupil may have tho closest possible individual attention; (8)
on the theory that much of education comes from contact
with men of superior traits of character, scholarly attain
ments and exemplary habits—the best results being secured
by having the pupils live in small groups with a teacher in
charge of each, day and night, thus bringing them very close
ly and happily together; (9) on the belief that no education
is at its best without careful attention to the social and spir
itual uplift and enrichment of the individual; and (10) on
the fact that the boy’s environment, i. e., his companionships,
should be of the highest and cleanest and most representative
types—in other words, the student body should represent, not
necessarily wealthy, but morally and intellectually strong fam
ilies.
Buildings and Grounds.
' Every visitor going out to see the Academy is very much
surprised to find n school plant of such elegant appoint
ments and magnitude. Five lnrge buildings and several
smaller ones, arranged somewhnt on the quadrangular plan,
each having its qnota of cheery, well ventilnted, and attractive
rooms and parlors, with electric lights and steam heat, in
closed by an iron fence, constitute the school home. The word
home here is very appropriate, for the ties which bind to
gether the teachers and boys are certainly most cordial, and
the atmosphere which envelopes the school has a warmth and
sympathy rarely ever found about schools. Here each teacher
lives with a group of about 12 boys, who have his special
watch-care and supervision at night in their study and later
his protection during the sleeping hours of the night. Any
parent can always feel satisfied that the boy under these con
ditions has the best of care and attention. In the dining
rooms (three in number) each teachor has a small family cir
cle of boys over whom he presides with constant insistence
upon good manners and graceful deportment.
Oare of Sick.
Delightful accommodations are provided for any who may
be sick. Strict safeguards are kept over all questions of
sanitation, and the food supply is always abundant and
wholesome, well prepared and nicely served. Dr. C. M. Cur
tis is the local physician and visits the school every day,
while Drs. Floyd McRae and Willis Jones are the consulting
physicians and are subject to call.
Beautiful Campus.
The campus contains sixteen acres of lovely athletic fields,
drill and parade grounds, tennis courts, race tracks, and shady
lawns—by far the most attractive in the state. Tho cry of ed
ucation in all cities today is fos a suitable place for the boys
and girls to play and breathe a pure and dustless atmosphere.
In this respect, 0. M. A. is wonderfully blest.
Physical Development.
The work under this head falls into four divisions—Mil
itary, Athletics, Gymnasium and Play.
The picture on this page was made last week and shows a
full cadet band, Companies A, B and C and the buglers—
about 150 cadets in all—ij
