HISS BERRY'S SPEECH
IS A NOTABLE FEATURE
By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
MflletUrevlIle, Ga., June Tuesday
Milled Seville was wholly under the
, w -ay of the girl graduate.
Her sedate uniform was seen on
street and campus, and the blue rib
bons of her diploma waved to every
raising breere. The graduating exer-
JWs of the fifteenth annual com
mencement of the Georgia Normal and
Industrial School were made notable
by the excellence of the program rend
ered. and by the largest and most en-
thuslastlc nudlence ever assembled In
the auditorium.
As is customary, essays were read
bv voung women who, by reason of
the 'excellent average of their year's
work were chosen by the faculty to
represent their, departments on this oc
casion The girls thus honored this
term were Misses Colquitt Newell, of
Mllledgevllle; Kussell Lasseter, of
Whlgham, Ga„ and Julia tVlaenbaker,
of Valdosta, representing respectively
the collegiate, Industrial and normal
departments. Their essays deserve
mention for a depth of thought and
grace of expression which would have
done credit to older and more experi
enced writers.
Miss Berry Speaks.
A great feature of the day, and one
which had been eagerly anticipated by
the girls, was the address of Miss
Martha Berry, upon whose Industrial
school at Home Is now focused the In
terest of the most prominent educa
tors In America. When Miss Berry,
the drat speaker on the program, was
Introduced by President Parks, the ap-
plnuse' was so hearty that she waited
nearly live minutes before coming for
ward from the modest place Bhe had
occupied on the rear of the plui\rm.
So simple Is her manner, anu so un
pretentious her personality that when
she began to speak more than one
tierson In the audience wondered what
had been the power which literally
swept the Southern Educational Con
ference off Its feet tv hen Miss Berry
appeared before that body In Lexing
ton a few weeks ago.
An Attractive Speaker.
It was soon evident, however, that
the strong human Interest of her story,
and the camera-llke vividness with
which she told It would rivet the at
tention of the most Indifferent.
Miss Berry said she thought she
could be most helpful to the girls she
addressed by telling them Just what
difficulties had beset her own path and
how she had met them.
Then she gave the great story of her
work for the mountain lads of North
Georgia. She told how nine years ago
her work began with a small Sunday
schoolfreld in a hi* cabin on her place;
how she had established four or five
schools In mountain districts and Anal
ly consolidated these Into what Is now
the Boys* Industrial School of Rome.
She stressed the value of industrial
education and Impressed upon the
graduating class the fact that no phase
of educational work is growing so In
the Industrial branches of
the Georgia Normal and Indus-
trial College makes a specialty.
When Miss Berry finished speaking
there were tears in all eyes. 'That
woman was Just called of God," I
he ? rd , one mHn with that queer tight
ening In his throat, say to another, who
unblushfngly wiped his eyes wltj» his
pocket handkerchief.
Hon. D. C. Barrow Talks.
Following Miss Berry. Hon. D. C.
Barrow, acting chancellor of the Uni
versity of Georgia, spoke. His re
marks were addressed solely to the
senior class, and \^ere on the subject
of character building and preparation
for the responsibilities which await the
girl graduate. Chancellor Park is much
loved In the college here and his brief
talk was enthusiastically received.
Governor Terrell Delivers Diplomas.
In the delivery of the diplomas to
the graduating class, Governor Terrell
was In his happiest mood. His re
marks were exceedingly brief, as were
those of Chancellor Barrow, but they
put the audience In the best of humor.
After the diplomas were delivered, the
governor shared honors with the grad
uating clas, holding quite a reception
before the audience dispersed from the
auditorium.
The following young ladles received
diplomas:

President Parks prefaced his Intro
duction of Governor Terrell with a few
words to the graduating class. In a
voice tense with emotion, he spoke of
the affectionate interest with which he
should always follow the first class
graduated under his administration as
president of the college.
In this connection it is Interesting to
note that the present year has been
one of the most successful in the his-

By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
Mllledgevllle, Ga., June «,—The exer
clses which marked the laying of tha
cornerstone of the new Industrial
building, and which were held Tues

largely attended than any feature of

University of Georgia; Colonel W. P.
Andrews, State School Commissioner
W. B. Merritt, Captain T. F. Newell,
Representative Steed, Judge Hines,

grand master of the grand lodge of
Georgia, other prominent Masons, and
the board of visitors, comprised of
prominent women from all parta of the
state.
An appropriation of $25,000 was
given by the legislature last year for
the building now nearing completion,
and the trend of speeches made Tues
day afternoon was sufficiently encour
aging to Justify optimism In regard
to future donations. Senator Steed
said he had voted for the appropria
tion, and that he was not prepared to
say he would not vote for another.
Representative Steed gave It as his
opinion that this appropriation was
only a beginning made by the state
toward the education of its women,
and that future appropriations would
come In recognition of the splendid
work being done at he Georgia Normal
and Industrial college.
Governor Terrell’s Address.

esting statistics In regard to the educa
tion pf women/ and called attention
to the lead Georgia has taken In educa

Terrell said: "If I had the selection
pf an act by which my friend, W. T.
Atkinson, should be forever known and
loved, I should choose his great efforts
bushing this splendid college.”
. ■ rhor Terrell also said he refer
red with pardonable pride to the fact
that during the three years of his ad
ministration, more educational build
ings had been erected than during

Our modern boy is a boy without a boyhood—he’s
born a man; he wants to do just what his father does;
he wants to wear just what his father wears, and what
he wants he usually gets.
In this Muse Department for Boys are grouped by them
selves all the little essentials of boy’s dress—man’s wear
ables with the mannishness taken out. Everything is there,
and everything has to do double duty—to be at once manly
