THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. 3 G. N. /. GIRLS ARE GRADUATED AND CORNERSTONE IS LAID Essays Read By the Leaders of Sev eral Classed. 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.
