The Mouth has become so aide
awake to the need of developing
it* natural resources that the
technological schools of the coun
try cannot turn out graduate en
gineers faat enough to meet the
demand
The men trained at all our
Southern institutions are numer
ically but a drop In the bucket
An army of trained leaders Is
needed.
Three years ago for every
graduate engineer who came out
of a Southern Institution, fifteen
came Into this territory from the
North, and then there were not
neafly enough
No Limit To Need.
There la no limit to the num
ber of men of this class needed
We graduate about 70 this year.
I believe that If the class wus
composed of 700. they could all

out going outside of Georgia.
The possibilities for the en
largement of Georgia Tech are
houndlesa. In the next 10 years
»e ought to enlarge our proper
ly to 50 acres; we ought to double
our equipment; we ought to more
than double the size of our stu
dent body.
We of the South have already
awakened to a full realization of
the fact that we have the great
est combination of natural re
sources In the world: but while
areat stride* are being made, our
resources are still for the most
pari lying dormant. They are
awaiting efficient development.
The only possible way In which
ihis can be accomplished l.s to
hsve trained Industrial leaders
and engineers.
One such skilled leader may
actually accomplish In real prog
ress more than an armv of un
trained men.
Take, for Instance, our first
graduate, Mr. George o. Craw
ford. president of the Tennessee
Coal At Iron Company, of Bir
mingham, who. due to his train
ing and experience, la directing
the energies of some 20.000 men
He Is helping make of Btrmlng

the world.
While nature has been prodigal
in bestowing upon the South these
natural resources, we have been
equally so in our waste and In-
The Men Who Found the Bodies of Captain Scott and His
Comrades—Memorial Cross Erected to Dead Heroes
I N the photograph on the left are shown pictures of the four men who actually discovered the
frozen bodies of Captain Scott and his fellows. From left to right, they are T. Gran, assis
tant commander of the Scott Western party; T. S. Williamson, petty officer; F. W. Nelson,
biologist of the Western party; T. Crean, petty officer. Crean and Williamson are both of the
British Royal Navy. Gran, as the photograph shows, holds in his hand a quantity of hardtack,
of which the rescuers were about to make a meal. Suspended about the neck of Petty Officer
Williamson may be seen the snow glasses with which Arctic and Antarctic explorers protect
their eyes from the terrific glare of the reflected rays of the sun.
At the right is shown the cross erected en Observation Hill by the rescuing party in memory
of the immortal five. Observation Hill was used as a minor food depot. The cross, as the photo
graph shows, was made of rough timber. Upon it may be seen the words “In Memoriam’’
carved by rescuers, and beneath that the names of Captain Scott and men who died with him.

efficiency The first thin* need
ed I* technically trained men. The
supply of such leaders Is the ob
ject of the Georgia School of
Technology. This In strictly an
engineering institute, giving high
ly efffc lent courses In the seven
following deportments:
Mechanical engineering.
Electrical engineering.
Civil engineering.
Textile engineering.
Engineering chemistry.
Chemistry.
Architecture.
Must Broaden Facilities.
So great la the demand for
trained engineers In each of these
departments that the school can
not even begin to supply it. We
need to broaden out our facili
ties, not only In the seven degree
courses mentioned, but In other
departments of engineering us
well.
Located as the school is in the
leading manufacturing city of the
South, and In the yery heart of its
richest and moat prosperous sec
tion, it is in a position richly to
repay Georgia for some adequate
and ever increasing support. With
a proper amount of efficient in
dustrial leadership, we are des
tined to become the greatest sec
tion of the United States The
two greatest factors In the ma
terial growth of any nation are
agriculture 'and manufacturing,
and they should by all means go
hand In hand.
We are rejoicing to see the re
naissance of agriculture In the
South, and our desire Is to see the
same thing accomplished along
manufacturing and industrial
lines. In fact, it has already been
begun, but It must be carried for
ward. We are moving in the
right direction. The essential
thing Is to keep on moving. Here
In Atlanta, our young men come
In contact with manufactories of
all kinds. There are over 80ft
factories In the city, which fur
nish to the students at Tech an
unequalled opportunity not mere
ly for Inspection and observation,
but for actual practical experi
ence. It is an Inspiration to
them. The Intense practicality of
the Georgia School of Technology
Is our chief pride. We keep a
careful record of every graduate,
and so far as we know, not a sin
gle one Is failing to make his
mark. Over 85 per cent, of them
remain in engineering pursuits,
and the large majority of them
are in commanding positions.
Is it any wonder that we feel
we have the right to ask the peo
ple of Atlanta and Georgia to help
us double the capacity of our in
stitution'.’
More Ground Space Necessary.
We need twice as much ground
space. We need to reconstruct
temporary buildings and make
them permanent. We need more
buildings. We want to be able to
accommodate within u few years
a student body of 1,500 to 2.00ft.
Our annual resources now amount
to $90,000 from the State. $7,000
from the city and $30,000 in fees.

We need to double them, and
even then we will be able to use
more.
Several years ago at the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technolo
gy, the budget for maintenance
for one year was $#125,000. The
attendance w is only twice as
large as that at the Georgia Tech.
Yet. after spending the $025,000,
they had a deficit for the year of
$75,000. or more than the entire
appropriation of the State for
Tech at that time.
We hope that the State under
the revised system of taxation
will give us more adequate sup
port for maintenance, as well as
for equipment. We hope that the
<Mty of Atlanta will recognize still
further that It is the chief bene
ficiary of the school as regards
the spending of money, and that
in addition we annually educate
about 300 men from Fulton Coun
ty, Including night school stu
dents. practically free of charge.
In Cambridge it is considered a
disgrace for a well-to-do man to
die and not leave something to
Harvard. We hope to instill that
vital and righteous doctrine In the
hearts of the citizens of Atlanta.
In the 25 years of Tech’s life, we
have had practically only one be
quest, though numbers of hand
some donations have been receiv
ed. and have been of inestimable
value to the institution.
Georgia Tech is one of the best
advertising assets the State has.
In my tours in all parts of the
country, 1 find that Georgia Tech
is invariably recognized for its
high standards and that in tech
nological and manufacturing cir
cles everywhere, the efficiency
and thorough character of the
work done at the Tech is appre
ciated. The great corporations
send representatives here every
year at commencement time, to
select men from our senior class.
And our men are to-day occupy
ing high positions in all parts of
the country.
The Georgia Tech belongs to I
Georgia and the people of Geor
gia. We invite them all to par- i
ticipate with us in the quarter
centennial celebration that will
begin to-morrow night.
A CLOSE FIND
Minister’s Resignation Explained
When Relations With “Miss
Blank" Are Related by Wife.
NEW YORK, May 31.—The mys-
tery that had surrounded the Rev.
Henry A. Buell's resignation as pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Wash
ington, N. J.. on May 4, was cleared
away yesterday by his wife. He had
given no hint of his reasons. Now
she announces that she is about to
sue for divorce, naming the daughter
of a Philadelphia clergyman. This
young woman’s friendship with Mr.
Buell was based, the two explained,
upon “religious enthusiasm.”
"Miss Blank” Close Friend.
Withholding the name of the wom
an she accuses, and mentioning her as
‘Miss Blank,” Mrs. Buell made the
following statement yesterday;
‘She and I were the closest of
friends, both being Interested in mis
sionary work in Philadelphia. It was
l who introduced her to Mr. Buell.
My husband was instantly drawn to
the woman by her charming ways
and brilliant wit. During her visits
to Washington they were very inti
mate, and seemed greatly interested
in church work; at least, they made
me believe that this was the case.
He Quieted Her Fears.
"At various times certain things
happened that aroused my suspicions,
but when I referred to them my hus
band quieted my fears by assuring
me that the friendship was inspired
by religious enthusiasm.
Watched the Kissing.
“Thus the affair went on until
about February 13, Mr. Buell and the
woman being in each other’s company
a great deal. They were often to
gether In the study, excusing them
selves on the ground that they were
conferring upon religious subjects
The evening of February 20, I came
upon my husband and ’Miss Blank’
in the hall of the parsonage. They
were kissing, or I thought so.”
Mrs. Buell says that she thereupon
ordered the other woman from the
parsonage and she and her husband
agreed to separate.
“This led to his sudden resignation
two weeks ago," Mrs. Buell continued.
“When we parted. Monday of this
week, he cried; but of course I shall
never have anything further to do
with him.
“I hare letters in my possession
which Mr. Buell received from ‘Miss
Blank.’ They are of ths most endear
ing nature, and 1 shall use them in
divorce proceedings. She sent him
candy kisses too. Once I opened a
letter he had ready for mailing to her.
In it he addressed her as ‘My own
precious baby girl.' ”

his time in the formation Of a scheme
to reproduce the scene*' of former
days in a series of motion pictures.
To this end he has interested the
Governors of some of the inter-moun
tain States, and hopes to take a se
ries of pictures, covering stage day
incidents between Sacramento and
Atchison, Kan. The Governors of
Idaho. Nevada. Wyoming and Mon
tana have promised their support

Boy Scares Off Bandit;
Saves Friend’s $600
Armed Hold-Up Man Put to Flight
When He Hears “Use Your
Revolver.”
LETS NEWS OF FORTUNE
WAIT TILL HE HAS EATEN
NEW YORK; Miay 31.—A boy’s
question: “Why don’t you use your
revolver?" yesterday saved Benjamin
Urdansr. a wealthy furrier, of No. 8
Twelfth Avenue, Paterson. N. J.,
from beinp robbed of $600 1n casn
by an armed hold-up man.
The question was asked by 10-
year-old David Bluenstein, son of a
neighbor, who had entered Urdang’s
stable and saw the attempted hold
up.
The boy was hidden from view at
the time, and his voice caused the
robber to flee, as he thought he was
alone with his intended victim.
ST. PAUL, May 31.—“Never read
bad news before breakfast.” remarked
J. D. Haley, an insurance agent, after
he had been called from his bed to
receipt for a cablegram. He left the
unwelcome message unopened and re
turned to bed. When he read the
cable after breakfast he discovered he
had been left a fortune of $100,000
by the will of a relative in London.
BAKERSFIELD, May 31.—The oil
town of Taft claims the distinction
of being the only city in the Sta e
where land Is rented by the inch In
stead of by the front foot.
The Odd Fellows are planning to
build a $20,000 temple at Taft and
when the survey was made It was
found that a theater building adjoin
ing the lot which the lodge owns
projects an average of an Inch ell
along the temple site.
One inch Is not a great deal, but It
meant much to the Odd Fellows, who
demanded some accounting.
Through an agreement with the
owner of the theater, A. T. Connard.
the matter was amicably settled by
renting the narrow strip of land to
Connard for $15 per year.

Historic Oregon to
End Days as Target
Famous Battleship, Regarded as
Obsolete by Experts, Wanted by
Officers for Experiments.
WASHINGTON. May 31.—Naval
officers having failed in their effort
i to have the battleship Oregon sold as
junk, now propose to use her. as well
as her sister ships, the Indiana and
the Massachusetts, as targets, to be
fired upon by the heavy batteries of
modern dreadnoughts, as was the old
battleship Texas a year or two ago. !
Inasmuch as the Oregon is nr ,
longer on the active navy list and Is
regarded as obsolete by naval ex
perts. it Is doubtful if this historic
ship ever again will be called upon
for service in battle. Because of this
fact, ordinance officers are desirous
of using her for a target, in order that
naval experts can gather additional
information as to the effect of mod
ern projectiles from modern guns,
upon heavy armored warships.
If this reccminendation is carried
out It is probable that the Mussachu-
?ett 5 and Indiana will bo shot to
pieces unci the Or-fon will be pre
served long enough to lead the pro
t-cesloxi through the Panama Canal.
