The Georgia Military College
opened Wednesday morning with
the largest enrollment in the past
‘ of years to start the fifty-sixth
session of the college’s long record
among ti. t preparatory schools of
this state.
Col. Jcc Jenkins was pleased
Wednesday when he found every
i in the barracks filled and it
necessary to lease ohher quarters
to house the overflow of boarding
cadets that have come from states
throughout the union and two fore-
ifi countries. Students began ar
riving Sunday and Wednesday the
enrollment of boarding cadets was
dose to the 200 mark. The enroll
ment df county students was also
unusually large.
The Board of Trustees have im
mediately made plans to make an
addition to the barracks to accomo
date 100 more students. The college
has several PWA projects filed to
enlarge the college plant and are
asking the city and county to co
operate with them to meet the
emergency.
A faculty meeting was held Mon
day and the schedule of study was
planned and arranged. Students have
been assigned to classes and Mon
day the first drill of the year will
be held when the battalion is or
ganized. Thursday and Friday will
be devoted to physical examina
tions and other preleminary ar
rangements. On Friday evening a
reception and dance will be given
the cadets.
The first chapel exercises were
held on Wednesday morning.:
Col. Joe Jenkins presided and
introduced the faculty to the stu
dents. Rev. Horace Smith led the
devotional which preceeded the pro
gram. Mr. Joe Andrews, represent
ing the Board of Trustees, welcom
ed the students to Milleogeville and
with the word, ‘‘Welcome,” gave the
students a splendid talk, stressing
work, energy, loyalty, courage, op
portunity, mental attitude and en
thusiasm.
Rev. F. H. Harding extended the
greetings of the ministers of the city
and invited the cadets to attend the
church services. Dr. Guy Wells,
president of G. S. C. W., assured
the students of a cordial relation
ship between *he two colleges. He
used as his subject, “When a Man
is Educated.”
G. M. C. enters its most success
ful year in many terms and Col.
Jenkins and members of the facutly
are most enthusiastic.

Condi. Payments Devided.
The City Council is again offering
the citizens of the city the oppor
tunity to pay city taxes on the easy

er but mede it possible for mar
citizens to pav their taxes promptly

ing made or fi fas issued. The city
tax books are now open and the
payments will be due October 10th
Those who have been using this
plan in the past should make ar

and those who have not been using
this plan arc urged to call at the
clerks office and make the neces-
ry arrangements now.
