RESCUED FROM DEATH AFTER TAKING CHLOROFORM For the third time In less than two weeks W. E. Edwards, a young white man. was saved late Sunday afternoon from death by chloroform. Edwards, whose home Is In Colum bus, was found Sunday afternoon In the union depot In a dazed condition, a handkerchief, saturated with chloro form. covering his face. He wax hur riedly taken to the Grady hospital, where he was si»on revived. A short while later he had recovered .sufficient ly to leave the hospital. When, in the past, public Institutions or public causes, or Institutions pri vate in nature but public In their In- iluence and results, have needed finan cial aid and have asked for it, the "Atlanta Spirit" has invariably mani fested Itself, and the business men of the city, as well as others, have placed the money ut the feet of those In need. Will this spirit manifest itself In the Interest of. the Georgia School of Tech nology? Georgia School of Technology' Is In need of $7,500 In order to enlarge Its campus and ward off stagnation and perhaps decay. It Is overcrowded on its present small campus, and had to turn away many student* this year for lack of dormitory facilities. The Georgian, In the Interests of At lanta. the state and the whole South, which have derived untold benefit In the past from the skill and knowledge which Georgia Tech, the South’s great est engineering school, has placed In Its midst, has taken up the cause of this great Institution and has appealed to Atlanta’s men to respond with the little financial aid asked by Dr. K. G. Matheson. president of the school. Subscription Is Started. F. L. Seely, publisher of The Geor gian. has started "the ball rolling" to help the school by subscribing $250 to ward the cause.* A few others have gladly reached Into their purses for financial support tor Georgia Tech. As a question of civic pride, ns well ns a question of Invest ment for the good of the South, every citizen of Atlanta should Join tills band of public-spirited men. None should have it said of him that he failed to re spond to such a worthy cause. The subscriptions to this cause up to the present time are as follows: Atlanta Georgian $250.00 D. c\ Barrow 100.00 Martin Amorous 100.00 George Crawford .100.00 C. E. Sclple 25.00 A Friend of the School 250.00 There is no more room on the present campus of sixteen acres, as was point ed out In The Georgian Saturday, on which to build much needed buildings. Dr. Matheson has options on the only vacant lots In the vicinity of the school. These options expire January 1, how ever, and unless they are secured by that time the opportunity to get them will probably he lost forever, as the owner Intends building on them after that thne. The Georgia School of Technology has only >2,325, with which to pay the $7,660 necessary to get the bus. Of the amount already available, $826 has been subscribed and tin* rest was contrib uted hy the state. There are three buildings of which le school Is In absolute need, but hlch cannot be built* unless more ground Is added to the campus. These buildings are the mining and engineer, ing Building, a dormitory and a gym nasium and auditorium. Needs a Gymnasium. A gynlnnsluni is a department which a great school cannot well be without. Georgia Tech Is conducting gymnasium classes now, but for lack of u building they are conducted In a basement, which has hardly any facilities for the pur pose. This basement Is so small that only a part «»f the freshman class can be taken In It at a time. Outside of the freshman class the students cunnot get gymriAsiuni work regularly. Vanderbilt and other great Institu tions of the South have each a separate building for a gymnasium. It should not be said of Atlanta that she allowed her great Institution to compare ao un favorably In this line with schoAils of other cities, which have le*N money than Atlunta. one of the crying needs of the Insti tution is a dormitory building. At the first of the present school year there were 225 applicants for admission to the school, for whom Dr. Matheson could not furnish rooms at the Institu tion. Many of these did not enter school on this account, as their parents did not wish them to be at the institu tion unless they could room on the campus. Those of this number who did enter had to secure rooms at n In the city. Dr. Matheson states that he could have had an enrollment of lot) more student* easily this year If he had had the dormitory room. Ife wants to erect a dormitory, but cannot do It until he secures the ground on which to put it. Atlanta Should 8ubscriba. These 100 students would have spent a large-amount of money In the city and Atlanta would hove been much the gainer. But larger number* still will have to lie turned away next year ,f this property I* not secured. Atlanta should prevent till* by subscribing the money. She should get the land and then reap the big profits resulting. At the present time the classes »f the mining and engineering department are scattered In three or four building* PICTURES OF CONDITIONS IN SCHOOLS OF AI LAN!

Chairman." Christiana, Dec. 10.—President Roosv* velt has been awarded the Nobel pear prize for 1906. There were a number of randidut»s I with recommendations from various parts of the world. Among* the closest rivals of President Roosevelt was the originator of Esperanto, the new uni versal language. The Nobel prize wis given to President Roosevelt for his successful efforts in bringing tlie Rus so-Japanese war to an end. This Is the fifth award of the Nobel omes j prize, which was established by a be quest of Dr. Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a famous chemist of Sweden. He left $40,000 to be divided Into annual prizes for various lines of endeavor, one of them being the so-called "peace prize, or "for the best effort toward the fru- ternltA* of nations, and the promotion of peace." The sponsors of President Roosevelt were Acting President Harry Piatt Judson, of Chicago University; Presl These pietureH don’t look like those of modern, up-to-date school rooms, do they? Well, they are not. Two of them represent that basement room in the Fair street school that they formerly used to put coal in instead of children. That waa be fore the kcIiooIr became so con- gested. The other picture, the one allow ing all that old rubbish, used to be a school room. too. That’s the one the doctors said was unhealthy. The children became ill, and so the room had to be abandoned, with two others just like it. A fourth room—the one with the old-faah- ioned atove shown in one of the ac companying picture*, was to have been abandoned nl*o, but the at tendance inci'enaed aoraoidly th school authorities couldn’t Ial the doctors’ advice in that and so the children were compi i cd to study there this year. It lias been raining hard all day .Monday, and this kind of weather makes it hard for the children in those basement rooms. The board floor is just above another of ce ment, and the cement floor is on the ground. Rainy weather tnakea tho floors damp. For there is no way for the water .to get away from the ground under neath. It souks ip, and then things get damp. - Are Badly Lighted. This rainy weather is bad, too, on the eyes, and those basement rooms are not lighted ns well as those in the Pryor street school. ■ In fact any comparison of those old frame schools—they were Iniilt thirty years ago—with that new Pryor street school is odious. The Pryor street school is every thing that could be wished for in tho modern school line. There is plenty of light and, ventilation. And they don’t use those old- fashioned stoves shown in the pic tures. Architects sav stoves won’t do for heating school rooms. The Pr.vor street school is ventilated with pure hot air in winter and cool air in summer. It’s a modern way of heating schools, and it is more healthy, too. The children are not so liable to sickness. Everything about the 'Pryor street school is built on the same plan. Every convenience known to modern school architecture is there. It is the school that was built to relieve the congestion in the Fraser street school, and the Frai scr is one of tilt* schools where they have to use those basement- ellar-rooins because they haven’t umimx. the bullilltiKs belimu- Washington.
