Fine Schools and Colleges As May Be
Found in America.
E ven though the weather la in a
torrid atate, the mlnda of a great
number of people are turning to
mattera educational, for with!*, the
next two weeks or a month the various
public schools, private schools. Institu
tions 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 of the year when
the parents of the young men and
voung 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 means 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. „
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
South's Rapid Advance.
No section of the country has ad
vanced more rapidly In the educational
world than has the South. 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
he 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 to 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 dose of
the session has broadened and devel
oped until a careless boy or girl comet
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 call 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 lit to be represented; others did
not. Some of those colleges that ara
not represented are probably as good
as those that are. It Is our wish,
however, to call particular attention to
sured of every chance of advancement
at such Institutions as Wesleyan Fe.

ose advertisements we have
printed.
There have been many differences of
opinions as to which la 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 of the
young.
Chances for Young Men.
The young man need have no fear os
to educational opportunities. The 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
of 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, ga a rule, have
taken the lead in matters scientific and
commercial.
As to the women, they can be as-
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 has 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 . Female College at Macon,
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 Is the University of Geor-
gia, over at Athens, which has gradu
ated men who have come to be tho
most distinguished dtlxens not only
of Atlanta, but of the South. The boys
who have attended "Georgia" and be
come proud wearers of the red 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 South than to be
referred to as "So and So, of Go.”
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 come 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. Ho came
out, developed in mind and body, more
mature In thought, seasoned In a spirit
of comradshlp, fitted to fare life un
flinchingly, for he knew himself and
hls'trade. Tech men are today capable
of groat earning capacity because of
the things thsy learned at the Institu
tion.
Right out here at Decatur, at our
uui uoio ai I” I uiui, at uui
very door, is Agnes Scott College, an
Institution founded In love by a great
nnd philanthropic oltlsen, and which
has been fostered and brooded along
the same lines. Agnes Scott numbers
her graduates by - the score. Her
buildings and grounds are among the
moat 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 of
college.
Out at College Park Is another great
Institution for young ladles. It la Cox
College, which for many yeaca was lo
cated at LaGrange. Ua, but moved
several years ago to Its present loca
tion, In order that It might enjoy the
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 moat promising man
hood In the state.
8horter College at Rome.
Up at Rome, the Hill City, la located
Shorter College. Shorter enjoys the
distinction of being located upon a
hill which overlooks the beautiful blue
Oostanaula river, the muddy and fasci
nating Etowah. Both join forces to
form the Coosa river. The mountain
air Is refreshing, Invigorating, while
the healthfulness of tho location Is as
sured. The mental and physical train
ing of the young ladles Is looked after
with the utmost care.
The University School for Boys Is lo-
eated at Stone Mountain, Ga., IS miles
from Atlanta. It was founded along
those same lines as have made Its gran
ite foundation famous. It Is a horns
and school combined, being removed
from the temptations of n city, but
equipped with a : magnificent gymna
sium and other things which furnish
ample attraction for the boys. Tho
school Is limited to eighty pupils.
There Is tho Alabama Krcnau, lo
cated at Kufaula, Ain., whit h Is a high-
grude college-conscrratory for young
Indies. The college offers a thorough
course In literary, together with ad
vantages In music, art and oratory.
The pupils are housed In a beautiful
new building, located upon a magnifi
cent elevation. There are many nt
tractions, among them being one com
blned with Instruction In nn orchestra
of fifteen Instruments. The Alabama
Rrenau has made an enviable record
for herself, and Is being liberally pat
ronised.
Georgia's Brenau,
The Brenau College-Conservatory of
Music, located at Gainesville, Go., has
won for Itself a name and reputation
second to none In the Houth. The col
lege buildings are located In beautiful
Hall county, (4 miles from Atlanta, and
afford every comfort and convenience
known to modern thnea-. Tho Institu
tion Is equipped with a corps of teach-
era, every one of whom has a reputa
tion for ability. Brenau has brought
South some of the most famous musi
cians, both vocal and Instrumental, In
the United States, that the pupils
might be afforded the advantage of re
ceiving Instruction from masters. Grad
uates are going forth every year with
everything possible having been done
to make of them cultured, reflnod
young women. »
Scientific and Business.
The Marlst College, now well known
to Atlantans, summarises the good It
has been doing to the community In the
ad. printed In this Issue of The Geor
gian. Its students are noted for their
physical health and vigor; for their
thoroughness In their studies, for their
air of gentleness and refinement.
The body Is given separate attention
a thoroughly equipped gymnasium, a
spacious campus with arrangements for
athletics and outdoor sports which are
obligatory, a physical Instructor exclu
sively employed In this department, ara
tho means which have conduced to the
better health of so many of the boys.
The professors all have In view the
development far more than the furnish
ing of the mind, and aim constantly at
Imparting mental power rather than
knowledge.
But d
crease ol
the rapacity for Indepeni
made paramount by the Marlst fathers.
And thl» Is possible only when the
building and strengthening of character
are made dependent on religion. The
Marlst College Is Catholic In principle
and In tone, yst non-Cathollcs are wel
come. and are treated with fullest def
erence In matters religious.
The Marlst College has lately af
filiated with the University of Georgia,
and. consequently with the Georgia
School of Technology. This means
that Its graduated high school students
are admitted to the freshman class of
GEORGIA TEACHERS THANK
COL JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES
At ths recent meeting of the Oeorgla Teachers* Association at Cum
berland Island, while speaking on the adoption of a resolution of thanks
to the trustees of the University of Georgia for the election of Profesor
Barrow to the chancellorship, Professor H, A. Pound, superintendent of ih»
schools of Waycrosa, said;
“Among those who have contributed to this change of sentime nt
there Is no one who has done nfore to bring It about than a distin
guished editor of this state—a man who deserves the gratitude of nil - l-

and of right—who has fought the battles of education and fought to win.
Inasmuch as In every Instance he has shown himself to be our friend, the
thanks of this association are due him. I refer to Colonel John Temple

nation than that passed at the college
before graduation.
Strletly Business.
Those who are Interested In what
might be termed strictly business, will
be Interested In the announcements
mode today by. Professor Bagwell In
the half-page advertisement of
school and college.
This school Is teaching a system of
shorthand which promises to revolu
tionise stenography.
It has already been adopted by many
of the leading business colleges of the
Unttfcd States, among theiq being East-
man's, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. These
schools claim that the system Is
briefer than any other, can be written
mastered In one-half the time and con.
slats only of the alphabet and tan sim
ple rules whloh almost any one can
understand and easily comprehend.
Mr. J. O. Bagwell, president of the
school, recognises the dangers and
temptations to which young men are
subjected In coming from the country
to a large city, where they are free
from parental authority. In order to
shield them from temptations to Idle
ness and dissipation a dormitory has
been established In connection with
the college, which furnishes a whole
some discipline and board at actual
cost.
This school Is equipped with every
facility for the best possible work and
employs the very latest methods
known to commercial Instruction, In
stenography as well as In banking and
bookkeeping.
Preparatory 8choole.
Among ths many schools In the city
and South, the preparatory school
takes a high rank. The hoy or alrl
might as well not try to enter college
unless he of she Is properly prepar'd,
with this Idea In view Miss Hnnnn has
been conducting a preparatory ■■ I I
for girls at No. II Boat Gain street for
the last several years. She hns aided
many young Indies to start right In Ilf".
Today she Is dear to many a mother
and father for having taught carefully
the daughter.
Mrs. J. S. Prather, of ir.n West
Peachtree street, has a school many
graduates of which move In tin- best
social circles, while many of them have
attained distinction In educational and
literary lines. > Girls are prepared to
enter higher schools and colleges. The
school has a well thought out graded
course of study through prlrnnn to
collegiate course. The faculty Is a
line one, while Mrs. Prather Is pre
pared to add to It as the school's needs
demand.
Ilut one must read the advertise
ments of the schools and colleges t<. get
a definite Idea of the noble work they
are doing. As has been sold, they sin
all good. Anything tending to the
moral nnd physical upbuilding of ths
young men nnd young women of ths
Houth deserves the Itenrty nnd cordial
supisirt which the schools nnd colleges
receive.

Following the action of the city re
carder teal week In levying a fine of
ISO on C. H. Girardeau for doing an
Insurance brokerage business without
a license, Mr. Girardeau has declared
his intention of carrying the case to
the superior court and higher If nec
essary, and has appealed from ths de
cision given against him.
The firm of J. L. 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 September 4 withdraw Its
agreement with that body by which It
observed all the rules and practices
held to by the agencies of the city, and
will hereafter maintain an entirely In
dependent attitude. It le claimed by
the firm that the action of the other
local agents In making objections to
the employment of Mr. Girardeau was
s violation of the firm’s agreement
with the exchange, In that Mr. Girar
deau was accepted »» s solicitor by
the other .agents when the agreement
was mods and that his status was per
fectly understood at that time.
The other local agents on the other
hand tsks ths position that thsy hava
made no fight on the Riley agency or
Mr. Girardeau In this connection, but
that ths Interpretation of ths ordinance
has been made by the city authorities,
snd 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
C °Whlla It I* a rule ot the exchange
that solicitors should give their entire
time to the fire Insurance business. It
Is claimed by Mr. Girardeau that ths
ordinance under which he was convict
ed was framed for the expreaa purpqse
of applying only to brokers represent
ing companies not licensed In ths ststs
and which paid no taxes.
Ths resignation of Riley A .Co. makes
the first break In the rahka of thb local
board, which has been In existence now
for two years. It Is not thought, how
ever, that local conditions will bs dis
turbed by the broach.
