Something About South’s Educational Institutions|| sectton '
WITH THE WANING OF THE LAST MONTH OF SUMMER, i
THOUGHTS OF OLD AND YOUNG TURN TO EDUCATION
Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas Boast As
Fine Schools and Colleges As May Be
Found in America.
E VEN though the weather la in a
torrid state, the minds ot a great
number of people are turning to
matters educational, for within the
next two weeks or a month the various
public schools, private schools, Inatltu
tlons and colleges throughout the
South will open their doors for an
other and more successful year.' The
term promises to be the greatest the
colleges and schools have enjoyed. The
advances which have been made are
little short of remarkable, for the day
has passed when argument Is made
against a college education.
It Is at this season ot the year when
the parents ot the young men and
young women do the thinking. Their
minds are concentrated In an effort to
select for their boy or girl the best
Institution for the moral, physical and
educational advancement of their chil
dren. The question Is by no metyis an
easy one. It Is an undisputed fact that
some colleges are better than others.
It Is also an undisputed fact that all
colleges are good. This condition Is
created by the fact that each college Is
striving to be the best. This laudable
rivalry has tended to a keen competi
tion In an effort to supply the man and
woman with the most desirable founda
tion for future business cares and
household duties
8outh's Rapid Advancs.
No section of the country has ad
vanced more rapidly in the educational
world than has the 8outh. Time was
whence youth's or young woman's ed
ucation was Incomplete unless he or
she should attend some Northern col
lege or university. This has ceased to
be the case, for the reason the South
ern colleges have not only kept pace
with the march of events, but have in
many Instances led the way to a
broader conception of the ennobling In
fluences of life.
There are many young men and
young women who regard a college ed.
uratlon as a frolic. They are attract
ed io college In the hope of having a
good time. It Is fortunate that the
superficial In them has this tendency.
When they enter college they are Im
pressed with the more serious duties of
life and gradually but surely-are made
to realise that it Is not a game of
blind man's bluff, but a responsibility.
They are Impressed with the.fact that
to cope successfully with this respon
sibility they must be prepared. And
then begins their gradual change of
thought and habit which at the close of
the session has broadened and devel
oped until a careless boy or girl comes
out with the firm foundation upon
which to build life's castle. -
There are a large number of pre
paratory schools, business colleges and
other Institutions open to those who
must secure an education In the short
est possible time In order that they
may enter at once upon the sterner
duty of earning a livelihood. In order
to ca)l attention to these schools and
colleges, The Georgian has prepared a
special edition, which It presents to
day. The list was carefully looked over
and the best Institutions In the South
selected. The officers of some of them
saw fit to be represented; others did
not. Some of those colleges that are
not represented are probably as good
as those that are. It Is our wish,
however, to call particular attention to
those whose advertisements we have
printed.
There have been many differences of
opinions as to which Is more Impor
tant, a college education for young men
or a college education for girls. The
young man must be prepared for earn
ing a livelihood for himself and a fam
ily. The young woman must prepare
herself for household duties and the
education of her children.' Environ
ment has more perhaps than any other
one thing to do with the future ot the
young.
Chances for Young Men.
The young man need have no fear as
to educational opportunities. vrhe Uni
versity of Georgia, Georgia School of
Technology. Mercer University, Geor
gia Military Academy, North Georgia
Agricultural College and many others
offer opportunities for literary, tech
nical and scientific courses. Graduates
ot these various Institutions may be
found all over the United States, and
be It said to the honor of the colleges
that the college men, as a rule, have
taken the lead In matters scientific and
commercial.
As to the women, they can be as-,
sured of every, chance of advancement
at such Institutions as Wesleyan Fe
male College, Brenau College-Conser
vatory, Shorter College, Co* College,
Agnes Scott and our own Washington
Seminary, not to speak of the many
preparatory schools, such as Miss
Hanna's and Miss Prather's.
Then there are the business colleges,
where bookkeeping, shorthand and
commercial courses are taught. Three
or four of this class of Institutions are
located here In Atlanta. Among them
are Bagwell's Business College .and
School of Shorthand, which haa what
It claims to be the latest and best
system of shorthand In their Chartler:
Crichton’s Business College and School
of Shorthand, which teaches the Mun
son system, together with a method re
cently worked out by Professor Crich
ton, and the Southern Shorthand and
Business University, which Instructs Its
pupils In the Graham system.
The Older Colleges.
Wesleyan Fetnnlo College at MacorT,
Ga„ has the distinction of being the
oldest female college In the United
States. It was founded many, many
years ago, and the believers In Wes
leyan contend that she has taken full
advantage of her early start by keeping
far ahead of all other female colleges.
Then there la the University of Geor
gia. over at Athens, which has gradu
ated men who have come to be the
most distinguished dtlsens not only
of Atlanta, but of the South. The boys
who have attended “Georgia’’ and be
come proud wearers of the rod and
black have developed Into sturdy young
manhood, seasoned middle age and
sound counsellors In the evening of
life. Youngsters are following in their
footsteps, until today there Is no proud
er distinction In the Bouth than to be
referred to as “So and So, of Ga.”
Hard by, and located In the same
beautiful little city. Is Lucy Cobb, a
college for women, rich In memory of
line training, which developed Into well
doing. The destinies of the college have
long been presided over by the most
capable and distinguished teachers pro
curable. From out the ranks of Lucy
Cobb - girls have cotne noble women
to Inspire young manhood to greater
and more ambitious efforts In life.
The Georgia Tech.
Out at the north end of Atlanta Is
located the Georgia School of Tech
nology. . What graduate's cheeks fall
to tingle with delight and his heart,
even though Its pumping ability Is not
quite as fast as It once was, when he
hears that magic word, "Tech?" He
entered the Institution because he had
a love for things mechanical. He came
out, developed In mind and body, more
mature In thought, seasoned In a spirit
of comradahlp, fitted to face life un
flinchingly, for he knew himself and
his trade. Tech men are today capable
of great earning capacity because of
the things they learned at the Institu
tion.
Right out here, at Decatur, at our
very door. Is, Agnes Scott College, an
and philanthropic cltlsen, and
has been fostered and brooded along
the same lines. Agnes Scott numbers
her graduates by the score. Her
buildings and grounds are among the
most beautiful In the South. Her cur.
rlculum Is- of the very best. Recently
she was advanced from an Institute to
the larger and more complete form ot
college.
Out at College Park Is another great
Institution for young ladles. It Is Co*
College, Which tor many years was lo
cated at LaGrangc. On., but moved
In order
advantage of being In close proximity
to Atlanta while having the seclusion
and peacefulness of a beautiful suburb.
Immediately across the beautiful
driveway Is located the .Georgia Mili
tary Academy. The boys are taught
not only the things contained In books,
but they are held to the rule of obedi
ence, that bad habits might not be
come their master. The G. M. A. boys
are trained carefully, and are among
the sturdiest and most promising man
hood In the state.
8horter College at Rome.
Up at Rome, the Hill City, Is located
Shorter College. Bhorter enjoys the
distinction of bolng located upon
hill which overlooks the beoutlful blue
Oostenaula river, the muddy and fascl
natlng Etowah. Both Join forces to
form the Coosa river. The mountain
air Is refreshing, Invigorating, while
the healthfulness of the location la as
sured. The mental and physical train
ing of the young ladles la looked after
with the utmgst care.
The University School for Boys Is lo

from Atlanta. It was founded along
those same lines as have mads Its gran

transfer was this week tilled by the
transfer of Clarence L. Ruse, a former
Atlanta boy, who la now recognised as
one of the first among the generation
of younger special agents, from Louis
iana. where he has been assisting State
Agent J. B. Ross, to Georgia and his
old home in Atlanta.
Robert T. Clower, also a former At
lantan, and a son of T. H. Clower, local
"gent at Opelika, AUu, will succeed Mr.
Ruse In Louisiana as assistant to Mr.
Ross. Mr. Clower came to Atlanta
about eight years ago and was for a
time connected with Manager Cha
pin’s department for the Pennsylvania
Fire. He has Istsly been special agent
and Inspector for the Louisiana Fire
Prevention Bureau.
The appointment of Mr. Sparkman
makes the third promotion from office
to field since the Royal came to Atlanta
from Louisville. Hinton Hopkins, now
"Pedal agent for Alabama, Is a gradu
ate of the same examiner's desk and
>f. B. Head, of Oklahoma City, also.
W. L. Slaughter, who has been with
the Royal for thirteen years past, and
"as formerly with Burpee A Caatle-

Manager Milton Dargan, of the
Royal Insurance Company, returned
this week from a trip to New York,
"here with other prominent under
writers hs was In conference with the
officers of the Southern Cotton Oil
1 'ompany concerning the Insurance of

Knight and R. T. Burdette, the sprin
kler expert of the Southeastern TarifT
Association, also attended the confer
ence and were consulted concerning
improvements In the Are protection of
cotton mills and oil refineries.
..Manager Thames Egleston, ot the
Hartford Fire Insurance Company. Is
absent from the city on a vacation trip.
He spent last week In New York city
and has gsM gffi tn !i -“ M ; *lno woods
for a month.
Following the action of the city re
corder last week In levying a fine of
$50 on C. H. Girardeau for doing an
Insurance brokerage business without
a license, Mr. Girardeau has declared
hla Intention ot carrying the case to
the superior court and higher If nec
essary, and has appealed from the de
cision given against him.
The firm of J. I,. Riley A Co., for
which Mr. Girardeau was acting as so
licitor, has served notice upon the At
lanta Fire Insurance Exchange that It
will, on Sepfember 4 withdraw Its
agreement with that body by which It
observed all the rules and practices
held to by the agencies of the city, snd
wilt hereafter maintain an entirely In
dependent attitude. It Is claimed by
the Arm that the action of the other
local agents In making objections to
the employment of Mr. Girardeau was
a violation of the Arm'a agreement
with the exchange, In that Mr. Girar
deau was accepted ts a solicitor by
the other agents when the agreement
was made and that his status was per
fectly understood at that time.
The other local agents on the other
hand take the position that they have
made no Aght on the Riley agency or
Mr. Girardeau In this connection, but
that the Interpretation of the ordinance
has been made by the city authorities,
and that their appearance In the mat
ter was simply to prevent the repeal of
the brokerage ordinance which had
been asked. It Is stated, by Riley A
Co.
While It Is a rule of the exchange
that solicitors should give their entire
time to the Are Insurance business It
Is claimed by Mr. Olrardeau that the
ordinance under which be was convict
ed was framed for the express purpose
of applying only to brokers represent
ing companies not licensed In tne state
and which paid no taxes.
The resignation of Riley A Co, makee
the A rat break tn the ranks of the local
board, which has been In existence now
for two years. It Is not thought, how
ever, that local condltlona will be dla-
turbed by the breach.

At the recent meeting of the Georgia Teachers' Association at Cum

to the trustees of tbs University ot Georgia for the election of Profee- >r
Barrow to the chancellorship, Professor E. A. Pound, superintendent of the

The profeesors all have In view the

But development of character, the In.
