Music week at the Georgia State
College for Women opened with a
lovely vesper service in the campus

entire service from the prelude to
the postlude was delightful. The
organ, in* tailed by Doctor Parks
with loving forethought, was never
more soothing to the mind nor more
harmonious than under the direction
of Miss Maggie Jenkins. The as
sociation choir and all the rest of
the young ladies who assisted in the
service showed in their voices the
effects of the painstaking work of
the music staff of the college through
the year. This effect was -..oticeable eloquence as the Mayor and his alder-

State College for Women were out
lined before the committee of Legis
lators and State Officials that are
making an inspection of Georgia’s
Institutions this month, by Dr. J. L.
Beeson, the school head.
In comparative figures that
sal-
ork will begin about June
lrt, A. E. McLean, foreman of con
struction has announced. The ma
terial for the base will be shipped to
the State Farm siding and all ma-
chinery for unloading and hauling
will be placed at this point. Mr. Mc
Lean stated that about one mile per
week could be laid -and treated and
it has been estimated that the three
summer months will be necessary to
complete the laying of the base.
The asphalt coating on the Macon-
Gray section is now being done and
this work will be moved ^into the
Gray-Haddock section early in the
summer. It is not hoped that the
complete road will be open for traffic
before January 1st, of next year.
Mr. McLean stated that he had
the two mile stretch from Haddock
to the Baldwin lin e to complete which
would put him on the Baldwin stretch
not later than June 1st.
The road will he of lime rock base
that will be oil treated for perman
ency and an asphalt top coating.
Mr. McLean stated that the half
mile stretch from the county line in
to Montgomery street where the pav
ing stopped was not included in the
contract and that the couny officials
and Sr.te Highway Department were
endeavoring to get the city officials
to bear part of this expenses and had
been unsuccessful to date. He stated
that unless the city would share part
of this cost, a half-mile stretch in

The college is furnishing 36 per
cent of the trained teachers for the
state and is operating efficiently at
an uncomfortable margin. Applica
tions sufficient to take the places
of all graduates wil lbe received be
prepared. Dr. Beeson presented the fore June 1st, although the great-
fact that the college was receiving est number of applications is always
leer than forty per cent per student received during the three summer
the money appropriated for higher
education in the state. In the pre
pared statement it was revealed that
an average of $360.53 per student
was appropriated for higher educa
tion in the state and that the col
lege received only $138.18 per stud
ent.
of the
months. The college has room for
seventy more students. Dr. Beeson
explained, but ’ack of money will
make it impossible for the.*e places
to be filled and further growth and
expansion is necessarily impaired by
