WOMEN fiS BORROWERS.
Female Stockholders in a Chica
go Building and Loan.
There is a Chicago Building an d
Loan Association which has great
faith in women barrowers, says
the Investment Review: Running
over an experience of eight years,
the association has not lost a cent
from its female stockholders and
the secretary is firmly of the
opinion that when a woman starts
out to secure a home she does not
cease, her efforts until she gets it.
The first loan of the association
mane to a woman was on a lot out
at Thirty-first and \\ allace streets.
It was in the nature of an experi
ment, and some of the officers
thought it had policy, but the wo
man stated the case this way:
“We are paying $lO a month rent
and 1 know we had just as well
pay that amount toward the pur
chase of a home.
She succeeded in getting $750
with which the association put up
a brick cottage on her lot. Since
that time she has added another
-tory t<> the building and a pay
ment has never been missed. “I
have observed,” said the secretary
"that a woman after a home, if
she has a good husband, manages
to economize in such away that
she forms the best kind of borrow
er-
We had one once who fell be
hind several months but she kept
continually coming to the office
and declaring that she would
come out all light, and she did.
r l hat has been my experience with
all the women to whom we have
' i heel money.’’

Some Opinions
from Eminent Men
of Georgia,
concerning the New Edition
of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica and the
remaril'.p.le Introductory Offffer
OF the
Atlanta Constitution.
TR'hlE general distribution of th? F:ncyclopa»dia Britannica,
ninth edition, has enabled the public to take the measure
of this incomparable work and place it in contrast with
other cyclopaedias. The result has been to establish beyond
question its unqualified superiority. It is a giant where others
are pigmies. It stands the noblest work in all literature ; the one
only adequate representative of the advanced thought and
scholarship of the world. It is the only cyclopedia in which
each subject is treated bv an acknowledged authority upon Uiat
subject. No other has spent one-third as much money on
literary labor as the Britannica. N<> other can show a list of
piincipal contributors, either so eminent in their departments of
scholarship, or varied in nationality and profession, or so
numerous. The full list of contibu.torx numbers iporv than two
thousand pr< ns, &’•.* jpf Ip.jra the most eminent literary and
scient c names of Europe and America. While it is the
acknowledged standard, incomparably the best and most de
sirable cyclopi.'ia in ex' .tunce, its hi.h cost has heretofore
placed it bc\ ond the reach of the majority. The English edition
is sold in this country at SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner
edition at $5.00 per volume, making the 0 st of the set, in 25
volumes, from $125.00 to $200.00 in cloth binding.
Some Cheap Editions
have been printed In America, but their incompleteness and
inaccuracy rendered them inadequate and unreliable as reference
jil'. r dries. The first and oldest of these was the Stoddard reprint.
1 his reprint never became popular with the American people,
partly because of its small type, which was set without leads be
tween the lines and accordingly difficult to read ; but the princi
pal reason for its disfavor among the American people was the
fact of its inaccuracy In reproducing the original text. The
carelessness of a proof reader, for instance, in allowing a wrong
exponent in a mathematical formula, a wrong subscript in a
chemical formula, or a wrong figure in a date might serve only
to confuse the mathematician or mechanic, to put out the eyes
of the chemist, or turn to ridicule the orator who trusted to the
accuracy of his reference library. Yet such errors are inevitable
where the type is reset and the proofs read by men who have no
technical knowledge of the subject in hand.
Another reason why the Stodda. d reprint never became popu
lar was that in reproducing the various engravings, diagrams,
plans, etc., no thought was given to the need of retaining
a proportionate scale 01 measurement, and the printers, who had
no other object in view than the general appearance of the page,
altered the scale-drawings at will, making them large or small

the original, inasmuch as it contains an immense amount
of statistical and other information not obtainable when

A New Edition?
Os the grea* Encyclopedia Britannica has entered '.he field, bo

re; reduction, the pages of the original have I i dupb i‘ - i..

j knowledge of printing finds it imp.ossible to distinguish them
I from type-set pages. But it was not enough to publi .It an edi
tion that was simply <rs flood as the original; a few years of
inspection by a critical public had developed the fact that the
: Edinburgh edition, while pre-eminently superior t > anything pre
viously issued from the press, WAS yei hot Infallible, and while
it has always been a matter of amazement among book-lovers
‘hat so voluminous a work as the Edinburgh Ninth Edition fur
nished so little grounds for criticism, yet all acknowledged that
1 here and there errors of'a pronounced character had f >und their
way Into its pages. It Is a notable fact that heretofore every
publisher who undertook to place a new edition of thiy great
work before the American people, has undertaken the enterprise
with
A Sort off Superstitious Awe,
viewing the text of the original Edinburgh edition as somehow
sacred and not to be tampered with. When, therefore, the Edin
burgh edition proclaimed that “In the world of letters, at least,
the Southern States have shone only by reflected light,” and
that “ mainly by their connection with the North, the Carolinas
have been saved from sinking to the level of Mexico or the
Antilles,” the American publishers, in a spirit of servility quite
in contrast with their usual independent thought, have repro
duced this slanderous statement verbatim, because, forsooth,
one of the twelve hundred English writers for Britannica has
said it, and, therefore, it must be true. In preparing this new
I edition no good reason could be found why the errors of the
Edinburgh edition should be perpetuated, but not one word or

Dr. C. K. Nelson, Bishop of Georgia, says :
• ‘ The Encyclopedia Britannica is the only book I know oi
which never disappoints one seeking information. It is on
I this account necessary to every complete man, and the
authorities being generally most r< liable, one does not fear
to appeal to this handbook of knowledge.”
Bishop A. G. Haygood, of the M. E.
Church of Georgia, savs: “ 1 prefer the Britannica to any
Encyclopaedia.”
Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, D.D., Pastor Ist
Baptist Church, Atlanta, says: “ I have used the Bri annica
for many years, ami find it absolutely indispensable. 1 can
most cheerfully commend it to the public.”
Rev. Walker Lewis Trinity Methodist
Church, Atlanta, says : “ I regard th" Encyclopedia Britan
nica as the best in print. It is <-f immense ntnge iu it
topics, covering almost every subject of imp >r ance to the
people. A compend of science, art. bi.igr-.phy, social a. o

of the age. It you have it not by all means lake iu

Britannica for years, and the information for which you
vainly search elsewhere is sure to be found in its ear< i.dly
prepared volumes. It should be found in the library ii
only for its time-saving qualities. ”
Father P. A. Connelly writes: “ The
merits of this admirable work are such as to give me great
pleasure in recommending it to all,”
Father J. O’Shanahan, S. J.. President St.
Msry's University, Galveston, savs: “The I. ii>:
Britannica is a mine of general information and a library
in itself. We recommend It to all who may need the’. o-t
complete work of general reference published iu modern
times.”
Dr. J. Bloch, Rabbi Congregation Beth
Israel, Portland, Oregon, says: ‘‘As a book of reference 1
consider the Encyclopaedia Britannica the best authori.y,
embodying as it does the learning of the greatest minds of
the world, and as a book of general Inf irmation it has be
come a necessary fixture in every libraiy.”
Father Hylebos, St. Leo’s Church, Tacoma,
writes : “It is the product of the culture and genius of the
master minds of the world, and the plan of acquiring the
work could not be made more beneficial to the public at
large.”
Rabbi A. Brown, Seattle, says: “Your
edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is the very bes«
ever printed. No person who is a lover of knowledge ane
research should be without this valuable set of books, with
out which the most costly and rare library is incomplete.
It has many advantages over the original.”
President A. E. Taylor, D.D., LL.D., of

Strikingly Superior

The print is large an 1 clear, the engravings are specimens of
the highest art, the margins are wide, the paper is of a fme an?

gives every advantage of the former large and clumsy volumes,
while it is much nr > compact and convenient to handle. The
