THE DUTY OF CEORCIA.
The State of Georgia he* e very
important duty to perform in the
near future.
She may or may not perform it,
but we are convinced that ahe should.
The great Columbian Exposition
to be held at Chicago in 1893 will
offer to each State a splendid chance
to advertise it* resources and advan
tages to the world. At that time,
the sovereign States of the Republic
wiirgather their resources together,
snd will vie with each other in the
dtsplay to be made at the World’s
Fair.
Will Georgia be behind all of her
sister States in this matter ? A1
ready a great many of the States
have made appropriations for this
purpose, and in this work, Georgia
should nat lag.
It will be a paying investment to
the State to spend a considerable
sum Jin providing for an excellent
exhibit at Cl icago, such as Jwill be
in keeping with the dignity and the
worth of Georgia, so justly called
“The Empire State of the South.”
The convention that meets in At
lanta next Thursday in answer to a
call from the Governor, will have a
great deal to do with the settlement
of this question.
Before that convention Hon. An
drew J. Cobb will deliver an opinion
on the law authorizing the State to
make an appropriation for such an
exhibit. Judge John L. Hopkins
will also deliver an opioion. If it is
decided that the State has no author
ity to make such an appropriation,
then the exhibit will be gotten up
through individual effort.
Georgia is going to be-represented
at the World’s Fair, and that is a
pretty definite conclusion reached in
the matter.

THE UNIVERSITY AND THE SCHOOLS.
Chancellor Boggs,of the State Uni
versity, has been down at Brnnswick
for tbe past week attending the con
vention of school teachers in that
city. Chancellor Boggs was accom
panied by Professor Bocock and Dr.
White, who are members of the com
mittee from the faculty appointed to
work up the Normal department ol
the State University, which is now
fairly nnder way of a speedy and
satisfactory establishment.
It was joyfnl tidings that these
members of the faculty carried to the
teacherb of Georgia. Welcome mes
sages,indeed,to say to them, “Jwe are
pieparing for you at the State Uni
versity a Normal school where yon
can all come free of tuition and reap
the fall benefits of oar apparatas )
oar libraries, oar laboratories, onr
lectures and onr entire facilities for
imparling knowledge to the students
of the college.”
No wonder that Chancellor Boggs
speech announcing this newB was
received with genuine and prolonged
applause. No wonder that the teach
ers of Georgia rejoice that -they are
at lost to have a Normal school com
plete in every particular. No won
der that all Georgia feels nearer than
ever to the grand old University, the
State’s cherished institution that has
