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. better, and a freer education to the mum The State has liberally ap propriated more than a million dol lars to the schools, and will appro priate more as the schools grow in size.

There are more sons of farmers at college this year than ever before, fifty per cent of the entire number of students in attendance being boys who left the plow handles to come to college.

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.
