Georgia Tech Campaign Now On.
Mrs. Perley Says Helen Will Make
Hall ol County’s Quota.
Announcement was made at the
Greater Georgia i'ecli Headquar¬
ters of a few days ago of the ap¬
pointment of the Executive Com¬
mittee which will be responsible for
the success of the Greater Tech
Movement in White County. They
are: Mr. J. B. R. Barrett, Chair¬
man ; J. P, Davidson ;F. G. Jones;
I). G. Head, of Leo; John Wright,
of Sautee; Mrs. A. P. Perley, of
Helen; J. K. Alley, of Nacoochee;
C. C. Morse, of Helen; Mrs. Katie
Cannon, of Nacoochee; Dr. J. K.
Coit, Sautee ; J. K. Kenimer, of
Leaf. With the opening of the
campaign foj a Greater Geergia
Tech, and ultimately for a Greater
Industrial Georgia, civic leaders
here declare that the greatest move¬
ment for the progress and prosper¬
ity of Georgia of half a century has
been begun. According to cam¬
paign headquarters, practically
every community in the State is
thoroughly organized has accepted
its share of the total sum to be
raised and is rapidly getting under
way.
Experienced observers, versed in
judging political campaigns and
statewide movements of every sort,
have declared that no other move¬
ment in the history of the State has
received such a wide endorsement
among the people generally as the
Greater Tech Movement. The
principal involved, they say, is an
“open and shut proposition”—that
Georgia cannot [achieve anything
like its share of prosperity until the
industrial side of its development
is what it should he, and that un¬
til the State Engineering School is
equipped to give the service to in¬
dustries ofGeorgia that ontber tech¬
nical schools are giving to '.he in¬
dustries of their state and the Geor¬
gia School of Technology is en¬
abled to give Geoogia boys the
same training that boys of other
states are receiving, Georgia in¬
dustries can never be properly de¬
veloped.
Some criticism has been directed
at the policy which has been
adopted by campaign leaders of
setting forth the bare facts, un¬
pleasant as they may be, of lack of
development and the missed op¬
portunity everywhere in Georgia.
For instance, it has been brought
to light that Georgia ranks forty
third educationally among the
States; that Georgia manufactures
less than one per cent of the manu¬
factured products of the United
States, although there is probably
not another area in the world of the
same size which is richer in natu¬
ral resources. In answer to critics
Victor Allen of Buford, Ga., who
head of the campaign declared;
“The trouble with Georgia now is
that we are inclined to cover up
defects anb dwell lovingly' on our
good points. What we need to do
is to dwell earnestly on our defects
and forget for the time being our
good points.” Mr. Allen pointed
out that unless the unpleasant facts
which constitute “bad advertising”
are given the proper attention they
will never be corrected.
Every indication is that the cam¬
paign for Tech, not only in this
County, but throughout the State,
will be a success.
This is a county matter of vital
importance when you consider the
fact that here in ^Georgia lies un¬
limited resources undeveloped, .and
White county has her share but the
young manhood of W hite county—
any county’s main sinew—is not
experienced technically, and it will
remain inexperienced just so long
as the people of this or any other
county turn an indifferent shoulder.

though Dr. George Brock, presi¬
dent of the State Normal School at
Livingston, Ala., is an up-to-date
executive in every respect, and is
a firm believer in “Mens sana in
satia corpore,” lie is not in favor of
said “corpore, f being so freely

as now
tates.
Among the girl students, more 4 '
than in number, there *
300 were
some who took a liking to the ab¬
breviated skirt and “rolled their
own.” As luck would have it, the
playful breeze of March revealed
this fact.
When the fact that under certain
stormy conditions there might be a
slight discrepancy between the top
of milady’s hose and the bottom of
milady’s skirt was taken cogni¬
zance of by Dr. Brock, he began to
get busy. An express shipment of
elastic was rushed from a neighbor¬
ing city, and on its arrival, the
long roll was beat on the college
drum and all students were -urn
motied to the auditorium, where
the male instructor and male stva
dents were excused and a woman
member of the faculty told the
youny women in no ambiguous
language, that skirts must follow
the downward cost of living but
stocking should go back to prewar
levels.
They were told that plenty of
elastic was on hand in the supply
store, and no profiteering would
be indulged in the distribution of
this commodity, and they were fur|
the faculty would take a peep on
on Sunday to see that when the
young women went out on the
streets the people of Livingston
would be reminded of “Ye good
old days” wlion a damsel’s attire
left more to the imagination of
fanciful young men and few old
ones.
So a standing committee is main¬
tained to see that students shall he
modest in their dress as well as de¬
corous in their mauners.
