ONE HUNDRED GEORGIA TEACHERS
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GHICAGOi
By Prof F. M. Harper.
Reader* of The Banner may feel some
interest in ono of the World's great
universities, where one hundred Geor-
gians went their way every sammer.
mention of Harvard or Yale aoggesta to
the mind college traditions, a literary
atmosphere, antique oaks and immemor
ial elms. Bat when the University of
Chicago is mentioned, one thinks of
John D, Rockefeller and Dr. William
Rainey Harper. In the back-gronnd
appears the great, vast, smoky olty of
Chicago with its stock-yards, big de
partment stores and tali buildings.
President Elliot of Harvard, and Had
ley of Yale are known to the eduoa-
tional world bat not to the average
American citizen. Their namea are
secondary to those of the great Institu
tions of which they aro the head. There
are members of the faculty of Harvard
university aa well known as President
Elliot himself. Not aoat theUniveraity
of Ohloago. The personality of Dr.
Harper overshadows everything oon-
neoted with that Institution, and though
the heads of departments there are aa
able aa any in the educational world,
no one associates with the University
any name save that its vigorous, hard
working President.
His capacity for work is marvelous;
his splendid physioal physique seems
tireless, and his nervous power and re
serve force are phenomal. Besides his
duties as president with all ita responsi
bilities of disoiplino and organization,
he meets as many olasaes ns any profee
■or, and never takes a vacation aa the
Others do. Bat with snob slight duties
as these, time wonl.l hang heavy on his
hands, so ho must needs be the manag
ing editor of the monthly Biblical
World, and the quarterly Hebralca, to
both of which he contributes largely.
To keep from rusting out, he is also
principal of the Chautauqua system, and
also of the American Institute of Sacred
Literature. As for his contributions to
the periodical press, and the occasional
throwing off of a volume, and his elabo
rate commentary, Minor Prohet, he re
gards them as diversions. , His greatest
dissipation is to go into seclusion at
Morgan Park for awhile nntll he can
write a book.
Dr. admits that he sometimes gets
tired, nervous and sleepless. He then
aooepts an [invitation to speak some
where one thousand miles away In
Colorado or New York, jnmps on a
train, travels night and day until he
reaches his destination, delivers his ad
dress, and starts back. Such a journey
that would use up most men refreshed
him, os he sleeps better in a stuffy berth
than anywhere else.
Dr. F. W. Shepardson, Secretary to
•he President, gives me the following
facts as to the University:
Total value of material equipment,
$4,185 040.
Number of buildings, 37.
Total annual income, $775,654 98.
Number of instructors, 386.
Full professors. 386.
Number students from June, 1901, to
Jane, 1903, 4,550. Of these, 8,£03 were
men, and 3,948 wore women.
Lolland Stanford University is now
the richest educational institution in the
world. But when Mr. Rockfeller dies,
many who ara in a position to know, as
sert that Leiland Standford University
will be a poverty-stricken institution
when compared with the university of
Chicago.
Its president receives a salary $10,000,
a sum larger than that of any college
president save that of President Jordan
of Leiland Stanford. Fall professors
receive $5,000 and $6,000 a year, By
this policy of paying good salaries, men
eminent in their special lines of work
have been seoured.
The university is unique In two re
spects. (1) Its sessions are continuous,
(3) It accepts work by correspondence.
The latter feature has misled many into
believing that it grants degrees readily.
Nothing is more erroneous. No one has
ever reoeived a degree from it for work
done by oorrespondenoe alone. Resi
dent work is neoessary before any de
gree is conferred. As a matter of fact,
the University of Ohioago requires more
work for its degrees than other institu
tions.
As stated, nearly one hundred Georgia
teachers attend the University of Chica
go every sammer. There were two hun
dred and forty at Knoxville; others at
tended Harvard and Ohautanqua. At
least four hundred Georgia teachers left
the State this summer because they
could not get what they needed any
where in the State, Is not this earnest
striving on the part of the Georgia
teachers significant? To me It is one of
the most enoooraging signs of the times,
as it means that teachers feel the need
of better equipment and higher scholar
ship ; and these are to be attained only
by hard, persistent work. Quite* num
ber said to me, “Why don't the Univer
sity of Georgia offer sammer oourses?
We would like very muob to attend.”
On my return to Athens. I find that
President E. O. Branson, ever quick to
respond to Georgia’s educational needs,
has placed the entering wedge. One
hundred and fifty teachors are now at
tending a two weeks’ summer sohool at
the State Normal. If the legislature
will provide the dormitories, I prediot
that President Branson will have five
hundred students here next summer.
Of the one hundred Georgia teaohers
m attendance at the University of Ohi
oago this summer, among them were
Mr. and Mrs. K. O. Barrett, Monltrie;
Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Brown, Oxford ; P.

THE GREAT SUCCESS
OF DOZIER AND CO,
This Firm Has One of The
Best Plants in This
Section.
A representative of The Banner en
joyed the pleasure of going through the
lumber plant of Dozier & Company yes
terday, and the trip demonstrated the
foot that Athens has in this firm one of
the msot progressive teams of young
business men in this section of the
state Mr. J. H. Dozier is in oharge of
the offloe and Mr. A. W. Dozier is in
charge of the lumber yards. Both men
are kept busy looking after their respec
tive parts of the business.
On leaving the office of the conoem
we were shown through a large shed
just in the rear of the office, and front
ing oil a side traok of the Central rail
road. In this shed is a large (took of
flooring, oeiling, weather-boarding,
moulding, shingles, lathes, and other
material neoessary to honse-bnllding.
Dozier & Company carry the best grades
of South Georgia lumber and every or
der is filled with the utmost care.
At the opposite end of the same build
ing, which is 40 by 175 feet, is the lime
house. In whioh is kept a fall line of
lime and cement.
To the right of the oflioe is a large
brick bollding whioh is used as sash
room, and in whioh was found a large
and complete stock of mantles, win
dows, doors, blinds, braokets and turned
and sawed ballusters. In this bollding
is also kept a full line of the celebrated
house paints, made by the Tripod Paint
Company and Longman and Martinez.
In one end of this building, entirely
separated from the sash room. The Ban
ner man found a busy lot of men mak
ing door and window frames to order.
Here all kinds of bracelets, ballnsters
and turned columns are made in any de
sign. In the basement of this building
was fonnd a large stock of fireproof
roofing, of whioh Dozier & Company
sell large quantities. It Is said to be
the best roofing on the market, and this
firm has received some high endorse
ments from pleased customers ou the
same.
The machine shop was one of the
most interesting plaoes visited. The
different maohines in this bnilding are
run by electric power and a number of
workmen were busily engaged In turn
ing ont celling, flooring, weatberboard-
lng and other bnilders' material. In
the maohlne shop lnmber can be readily
converted into any desired lengths or
widths. In the yards surrounding the
various bnildings mentioned a large
quantity of rough lumber is standing in
huge piles, waiting to go through the
shop and be made up into attractive
pieces of dressed and finished material.
In a yard down near the Central depot
is a large lumber yard conducted by
Dozier & Co., in which the rough lum
ber used in the construction of frame
work for houses is kept It is a big bus
iness and those who will call telephone
number 89 will usually find the mem
bers of this firm in business up to the
neok.
It will take 1.493,250 porcelain wiring
knobs to carry out the scheme of eleotric
wiring for light and power at the
Worlk’s Fair, St. Louis.
The University of Cincinnati and
Technical sohool are making plans for
an extensive exhibit at the World’s Fair
in 1904.3
