BY K. Q. MATHESON. (Pvetirfmt Georgia School of Tech nolog g) 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 And Important work to do with out watting a month, nnd with 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 ham and Its surrounding territory one of the great steel sections of 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. •5> f -• ’ f i ; *5 mm i 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. BRING THIS AD Examination Geaning Painless Extraction NfT.'WS SIXYICI 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.

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.' ” OIL TOWN NAMED FOR TAFT RENTS LAND BY INCHES Former Stage Driver Reviews Old Scenes Idaho Man Visits Los Angeles and Compares It With Settlement He Knew.

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. DINING CARS WITH A’LA CARTE SERVICE TO CINCINNATI & LOUISVILLE £ \i ! r' tHf Jno.

PEACHTREE ST. tNTIRE SECOND FLOOR NEAR WALTON 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. Famous Mine Expert Forced Waste Much Valuable Time as Witness. to NEW YORK. May 31.—John Hays Hammond has made his appearance before Judge J. Mack in the United States Court on the average of four days each week or three weeks, ready to testify in a $200,000 damage suit involving the title to certain oil lands in the District of Ozuluma, Vera Cruz.
