SHORT SAYINGS FORTHE ADVERTISING MAN

Kfflflrncr comes when n man cm go wlfhln and then go out ond letting hie eoul
blend with his work, give his duties the liest and all that la In him.
Urn nernr do mocb without some egotism. Egotism Is simply fslfb In oneself,
and therefore Ie also confidence unswayed by wind waves—hot or cold.
If you can't make a place for the right man, don't try to make n man In tha
wrong piece.
If n person snub* you, pity rather than want to punish him. He does not un
derstand or know what life Is.
This country opens Its arms to co-operation. Cooperation is the one solution to
the Industrial, commercial and financial problems as they exist today. It Is grow
ing In favor with leaps and Iwands and takes Its place ns the neceswry reaction of

lot us be slow to criticise lest wc describe ourselves.
If you do not enjoy yonr work, stop It now. Yon ire chesting your employer nnd
robbing yourself.
Be kind nnd alow to wrath. Control your own spirit and be glad.
Remember that bate only harts tbe-one who hates. f
Whenever n man leaves bln Individuality on wbst be does, look out for that man.
HI* soul I* free and his life his no limitations.
Co-operation la n harmonizing of like things. All for one, and one for all, pulling
all together.
More men fall thru Ignorance of their strength than thru knowledge of their
weakness.
You may aaeeeed when others do not believe In yon, but never when yon du not
believe In yourself.
Carry yourself with ■ self-conBdcut ilr, sn nlr of self-assurance, and you will
not only lupin others with n belief In your strength, but will come to believe lo It
yoanelf.
Idleness travels very leisurely, sad poverty soon overtakes bcr.

any physical defects
ia The gym is a model
in size and equipment, with two elegant shower baths con
nected.
General Play.
Tennis and track work attract many of the boys, always
under the teachers whose presence guarantees fairness and
freedom from the usual play ground profanity and unclean
speech.
So scores of boys are every year turned out with such
splendid attainments in physical development as to argue most
powerfully for the work being done by this school.
It.should not be forgotten that this round of daily ac
tivities carries with it a very significant fact, viz., the keeping
of the boys wholesomely busy and thus preventing their brains
from becoming the devil’s workshop.
In the period of nine months, the average gain in weight
for each boy is 15 to 20 pounds, hard muscular tissue, while
there is corresponding development in height, lnngs, chest,
and limbs, with added health tone fn digestion, heart action,
and all the alimentary processes.
Health and Sanitation.
The president of the school has made careful study of the
leading American schools for boys, because he wished to know
the health and sanitary conditions. These are basic considera
tions in education, and we were pleased to see what thought
and judgment had been spent in bringing this school up to
such high standards. Another fact worth mention is that on
every floor in all the buildings are ‘Are extinguishers of the
latest type, although there is really little dangr of fire on ac
count of the steam heat and electrie lights. ,
• Courses of Study.
While the general aim of the school is to take the pupil ns
he passes out of the fifth or sixth grade and prepare him
thoroughly for college, yet a large number of our boys never
reach college and some modified course is necessary. So the
Academy allows Latin nnd Greek to be omitted and the com
mercial studies, such as bookkeeping, stenography and type
writing, to bo substituted, thus prepnring its pupil* directly
for entering upon a business career. Occasionally a boy needs
special tutoring for some school like West Point, and the
school attempts to do this work. Along with all the courses,
particularly with the younger boys, shop work, or manual
training, is taken.
The splendid reputation of the school is attested by the
large and successful groups of young men now representing
it in almost all the colleges of this section. Its graduates take
good rank whereever they go.
Patronage and Territory.
When a father sends his boy to school, he is alwnys anx
ious to know what class of boys will be his companions. The
students of G. M. A. are now from 12 to 15 states and foreign
countries, and represent the most prominent families. Com
ing from such homes, they represent large commercial inter
ests, high social position, and large, future careers. Ties of
friendship developed here will go far toward determining a
boy’s future usefulness and sueess in almost any vocation.
Facts Worth Parental Consideration.
The fairest prospect of many a noble youth nnd the sweet
est hopes of many fond parents have been blasted by an un
wise selection of teachers. Your son will pass through youth,
the period of development, but once—precious, critical - years
these—nnd if the growth of body, mind and heart posasihle
with him, is not realized, the loss is irretrievable—the oppor
tunity forever gone—and your son enters life’s' duties crip
pled, dwarfed—a weakling I
Between 10 and 18 years of age, your son will pass through
thnt wonderful change from inuoeent childhood to sexttnl man
hood. Like the sun’s shadow on the dial, the change is too
gradual to be observed, but sure. So, during this period, the

boy’s tastes—in dress, literature, companionships, purposes,
ideals—undergo radical and frequently degenerate modifica
tions, nnd the way opens for the multitude of evils which in
fest youth—the tobacco habit, vulgar and profane thought
and speech, and other unclean practices.
Yet this is the plastic period—the time for the teacher-
artist to idealize, fashion, construct, transform until the glo
ries of splendid character and illumined powers appear in
the young man. But such results come only from masters.
The teacher must know the “what” and the “how.”
The Georgia Military Academy is certainly not the right
place for every type of boy; but it may be for yours, nnd any
parent is invited to investigate for himself.
A Wonderful Success and Vindication of Bight Ideals in
Education.
Colonel J. C. Woodward, tho founder and president of the
school, is a teacher of ripe experience and large preparation
for educational work. lie loves boys, knows how to' disci
pline and inspire them, hits a happy family of two boys both
in the school, nnd two little girls. He enjoys perfect health
• and is un enthusiast in all thnt pertains to his boys and their
welfare. Whenever they conte into the city to church, the
theater, a lecture, or for sightseeing, he mnrehes tvith them.
Their joys always provoke his happiness and their disappoint
ments claim his sympathy. He lives for their success. Into
tho faculty are gathered the strongest and most reliable teach
ers, and the high standards which they exhibit in their work
hnve won for the school the confidence nnd co-operation of
all who know it. No school in any state has had such a mar
velous success, and its achievements have all been the growth
of exalted ideals of aims, methods, and clinging, persistent
work.
Any visitor enn not fail to bo impressed with the scope
nnd magnitude, the method nnd enthusiasm, the order and
school spirit of this institution. The Georgian, and indeed the
entire state, believes that the O. M. A. has no equal in tho
magnificent work which is possible with boy*.
