THE BOOSTERS CLUB
AUGUSTA’S UNIQUE AND
PROGRESSIVE OR
GANIZATION
A Cheery Talk With Its
President, Mr. H. H.
Stafford.
Ur. Howard H. .Stafford, president
®f the Boosters’ i„’iub, in response to
question from a of
The Herald, states that the Boosters’
Club is an organization of the young
er element of the community, not ail
young in years but In spirit, who are
banded together that they n.ay be
identified with the upbuilding of our
city and community in which we arc
ail so deeply Interested and they not
only look to the welfare of rh“ new
comer. but are always glad to boost
the things we. possess. If an Indus
try Is struggling for a start It is
with great pleasure that Ui Boosters’
Club lends its good offices to reestab
lish confidence in that industry as
wen as give a helping hand to the
newcomer and a cordial welcome to
the casual visitor.
Among the things which they take'
pleasure In boosting and for which
we are in no wise responsible for pos
■easing is the God given climate I
which has made this city and its sub
urbs the most justly renowned win
ter resort in the whole country. Its'
attractions are so numerous that, it
is difficult to incorporate them in a'
small space.
In the first place we are only twen
ty-four hours distant from New York
and about twenty-eight hours from
Chicago and Hi. Louis, thus making
it possible, for the tourists to go Bleep
in a warm Pullman one night and eat
supper with us the next evening.
While the climate of Augusta proper
is good enough for the busy man, the
sand hills which surround the city on
three sides are so situated that tier
sons living there avoid any possibil
ity of dampness duo to the Savannah
river which (lows by our door and
gives us the wonderful advantages In
freight rates which Ims made the city
an prominent as a manufacturing cen
ter.

AUGUSTA, .... GEORGIA.
While we appreciate the coming to
Augusta- of the great officials, finan
ciers and captains of industry of the
nation, we regret that it has been
impossible thus far for us to erect
on these hills overlooking the city
hotel accommodation.-; tor people who
cannot stand the terrible financial
strain of the up to date tourists ho
tels There is a great opportunity
for profit for a well conducted hotel
with charges ranging from 32.00 to
per day. A hotel of this char
acter could fill itself to overflowing
for four or five months of the year
with Northern people and in summer
..age numbers es our home folks, or
natives as we are sometimes termed,
would he vlad to avail themselves of
the sociability which would be avail- 1
able in a summer hotel.
Augusta is in latitude 33 29 North
Hie temperature is mild, averaging
fer winter months being 49 degrees
and lor summer months B‘i degrees,
rt.e rliiatfe conditions that are so
essential to a winter resort; are ideal,
warm, but not enervating, balmy, but
not, humid but particularly dry and
healthy. The average temperature
during the months of December, Janu
ary, February and March Is 54 de
grees at 8 o’clock a. m. Northern and
Western people find the medium cli
mate of this section best suited to
their requirements, and while the,
change is great, is not. sufficient toj
affect one Injuriously in passing from ,
one section to another. That Augus-1
ta's climate is an Ideal one Is well*
evidenced by the ever'lncreasing tide'
of Northern and Western tourists, j
who annually return to either their
own homes here or take their quar
ters in the Bon Air hotel, the Hamp
ton Terrace, Albion hotel or numer
ous private houses, which open their
doors to winter guests.
During the past ten years the fame
of our climate haH been so thorough
ly known to the winter tourists that
lund values are greatly enhancing in
certain localities. The richer ele
ment of the tourists have bought
some magnificent locations nnd every
year from six to ten beautiful homes
arc constructed which cost large sums
of money and are occupied for only a
few months in the winter time by
their owners. There arc other loca
tions just as convenient to car lines,
but slightly apart from the present
development. Other sections which
are just, as suitably located for home j

The curriculum of this school extends
over four years and all candidates for

have attended four courses of lectures

years, the last course being in this in-*
stltutlon.
1 .ils college being a member of the
Southern Association of Medical. Col
leges, its course of study and entrance
and graduation requirements are the
same as laid down \>y that ooganizatibn.
The great advance that hRs been made
In medtcal teaching In our time consists
in the practical training of students in
diagnosis and treatment of diseases by
laboratory work and the actual handling
of patients in hospitals and clinics. The
College, therefore, that conrtols the larg
est and most varied amount of clinical
material is the one which best meets
the demands of modern medical educa
tion. Those physicians are the best
equipped for the practice of their pro
fession who have received the most
thorough clinical Instruction.
This Institution is pre-eminently a
clinical school and In facilities for clin
ical instruction it possesses marked ad
vantages over any other medical col
lege in the South Atlantic States.
The Faculty of this College has ex
clusive control of all the medical char
ities in the City of Augusta and Rich
mond County, numbering 65,000 inhabi
tants. .
The Faculty has under Its entire
charge three large hospitals, besides the
Polyclinic, the Out-Door Obstetrical
Service and the City Dispensary.
The Students of this College have un
restricted entrance into all of the hls
pitals of Augusta. No other college in
(•eorgia has absolute control of even one
hospital, therefore, the students of such
Institutions do not receive as full clln- i
icai instruction as students of (THs
school.
Every member of this Faculty is on
the attending staff of our local hospitals.
This’ Is not true of any other College in
Georgia.
Augusta, the seat of the Medical De
partment of the University of Georgia,
is noted as a winter health resort for
pulmonary affections. Its mean temper
ature for the months of November, De
cember, January, February and March
is higher than that of the celebrated
health resorts of the Mediteranean—
Cannes, Nice and Mentone—the mean
temperatue of Augusta for a long num
ber of years having been 51.4 degrees
Fahrenheit. Augusta also possesess ad
vantages over Cannes and Montone in
point of mean relative humidity, that of
Augusta being 68.9; Cannes 72.4; Men
tone, 72.4.
In combined points of mean winter
temperature and mean relative humidity,
Augusta possesses advantages over any
city in America, which Is the seat of a
medical college. These advantages should
especially appeal to students who can
not stand the rigor of a more Northern
climate. In the additional points of ra
tio deaths from consumption to total
deaths from all causes that of Augusta
Is, so far as we are apprised, less than
any city in the Union in which a med
ical college is located. The remarkable
