The showing made by The Banner yesterday of the indorsements of the daily newspapers of Georgia of the work being done at the State Normal School it only exceeded by the indorse ments that are Btill coming in. Under the captain of "A worthy institution" the Oolumbns Enquirer-Son, one of the strongest newspapers in the state, says : One of the first things that the Geor gia legislature should do npon conven ing this fall should be to make an ap propriation to enlarge the facilities of the State Normal School at Athens. The Enquirer-Sun's dispatches yester day morning told of the snccessfnl open ing of the school Tuesday, with an at tendance three timeB greater than ever before. The success of the occasion was marred by the fact, however, that sixty young men and women—Georgians— who went to Athens to attend the school were crowded ont of the dormi tories and there was nothing to do bnt to appeal to the people of the city to take care of them. The legislature should by all means make an appropria- tlon sufficient to remedy these and other conditions at the State Normal School. There is now no greater factor ih the educational developments of the state than the Normal School. Already Its The Savannah Morning.Kewi says: The State Normal School opened on Tuesday with an attendance of 400 teachers. This is about three times as many as have attended any previous opening of that institution. It is said there were eixty more than could be ac commodated in the dormitories. Much of the popularity of the Institu tion is due to President Branson, who has been nntiring in his efforts to make it a success. He has shown ability of a high order for work of this character, and there is no donbt that what he has done and is doing for the education of teaohers is highly appreciated through ont the Btate. And now the cry comes for help—for assistance from the state. Greater dor mitory accommodations are wanted and a larger faculty is needed. There is no donbt that the work the Normal School is doing Is of the very greatest benefit for without good teachers it is lmpossi ble to have good public sohools. We.have no doubt the Legislature will do all it can for the school. It certainly ought to. THE SUMMER SCHOOL FONDJTILL GROWS Amount Now Foots Up Close to Fifteen Hun dred Dollars.

In addition to the cordial and liberal support being met with in this city by the oommittee having in charge the matter of getting up the necessary fnnd fortthe success of the institution, the press of the entire intinenoes are being felt, and none can deny that through its work the stand- ard of teaching in Georgia has been dis tinctly elevated. Its work is Intensely praotical, its object is to teaoh teaohers, to Instruct those who are to Instruct the youug people of our state. The impor tanoe of a thorough course for our teach ers is now appreciated more keenly and generally than ever before, a fact shown by the record-breaking attendance at the normal school this year. The State Normal School shonld have the hearty and nnstinted support of the state. We neod to lcok only at our own schools in Colnmbns to see how the Normal School is fulfilling its mission Several of onr best teachers are grad nates of that institntion, and as it is now the policy of the board of trustees to accept only trained teachers, it is probable that in the future the local schools will be even more extensively benefited through the good work of the normal school. In connection with the State Normal Sohool, the magnifioeut work of Presi dent E. O. Branson deserves mention. He baa worked earnestly and intelli gently, and much of the success of the Institution can be attributed to his zeal and tireless labor. The Home Tribune Says . The State Normal Sohool at Athens opened Tuesday with three times a lar ger attendance than has ever been known before on the opening day. Tho total attendance was nearly four hundred, and ovot sixty Georgia men and women were crowded out of the dormitories. These had to appeal to the residents of the city to take care of them. It is declared that no education al movement In Georgia has ever com pared with this reoord. The great interest shown In the State Normal school is largely doe to the mag nifloent work In its behalf by President Branson. The friends of the school and the oil liens of Athens will urge the general as sembly to make appropriations to in crease the dormitory room and class room. The faculty, also, shonld be in creased. They declare that the present crowded condition of the sohool is state appears to be tehiuft the move- Now is the time to buy your coal.
