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. J. Christopher, White Plains ; Mrs. J. B. Stoughton, Augusia; Miss Gertrude Taylor, Outhbert; Miss Lucie Nagle, Atlanta; Miss Grace Palmer, Athens ; Miss Eunice Palmer, Athens; L. R. Hogan, Locust Grove; Claude Gray, Locust Grove; Miss Lorena Tomson, Thomaston; Rev. J. B. Harrison, Macon; Mrs. J. G. Harrison, Macon ; Miss B. S. Thnrsby, Danielsville; Miss Elizabeth Norman, Danielsville; Dr. D. B. Rags dale, and Mrs Ragsdale, Maoon ; H. W., H. B. and MiBs A. L. Calloway, La- Grange ; Mr. A. M. and L. P. Smith, Mr, and Mrs. O. L. Smith, La Grange ; Miss Lena Dnke, Mim Elmn Duke, Fort Valley; Mrs. J. B. Hampton, Hapeville; Miss Eda Bartholomew, La Grange; J. A. Hall Atlanta; John B. Herbert, At lanta ; Miss Lily Dodgen, Oassville; J. T. Jermany, Atlanta; F. M. Harper, Athens; M. Letcher, Conyers; J. L. Moulder, Cosset*; Miss Minnie Moln- tire, Decatur, A. H.,Marchant, Mrs. A, H. Marohant, Milledgevill6; Miss Marie Whitaker, Milledgeville; and others, Carl F. Klatz, inventor of an airship whioh Indianapolis capitalists ead book ed for the aeronautic contest at the World’s Fair, died a few days ago at Infti^THippU^ f ; 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
