THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, T LITTLE TALK ABOUT YOUR BOY You think about a great many things. What Is your thought about yonr boy? You spend many, anxious hours over your busi ness. How many serious hours do you give to the lad? You dream about additions to your land and your bank account and accumula tions In material things. What Is your dream about additions to the manhood and accumulations ot character in your growing child? What If your business grows In large ways and your son In small ways? When you are dead you will cease to live In your business; but you will never cease to live In the child that bears your name. Furthermore, you are mightily concerned about the proper se- ( lection of those who are to aid you in the management and devel opment of your business. How much concern do you feel about those who are to aid you In the development of the character of your boy? If In this day and time, tact and skill and Intelligent and consecrated service are needed to develop a business enter prise. they are Infinitely more Important In developing a human soul and shaping a human character. Those who can aid you in creating character and power In your child are worth more to you than those who can aid you In adding another dollar to your bank necount. Now If you are Interested In this matter read a few lines more. Thirty-four years ago the North Georgia Agricultural College was a government mint. The gold of the hills was gathered here and stamped and sent out for circulation Into all the world.
