Compliment Paid Them by Two

Compliment Paid Them by Two
Georgia Colleges.
Dublin, Ga. May l5-Prof. J. c. Ward
law has received notice from the presi-
dents Of Mercer University and Emory
College that hereafter graduates of the
Dublin public schools will be admitted to
these institutions in the Sophmore class
without examination. The state univer-
slty will not admit the graduates to the
Sophmore class without examination. but
will admit the students to the Freshman
class. President Hill. however. states
that there is no doubt in his mind but
that any graduate of the Dublin public
schools would have no trouble in enter
ing the Sophmore class at the univer-
sity after an examination. The course
Of study in the Dublin schools is much
higher than most OF the high schools ian
the state. 1t is a full year ahead OF the
school system of Wayeross. which is con-
sIdered one of the best schools in the
state. 1t is said by those in position
TO know that not more than five public
schools in the state, including the
city schools, are ahead of the schools OF
Dublin, and not more than five other
schools are equal to It, all of the rest De-
ing below the school system of this city
The school system of Elberton more near
by corresponds to the Dublin school sys-
TEN than any other in the state, the Dub
lin school being In advance OF Elber-
ton in only one study that of Latin. Dur
ing the summer the course OF study in
the Dublin schools will be revised and i'm
proved, and after that time no school in
the state will be superior.
Prof. Wardlaw has been appointed by
the presidents OF Mercer University, EN-
DRY College and the State University TO
examine in this city May rs any and all
pupils from this section of Georgia who
desire to enter either one of these insti-
tntions next fall. II Prof. Wardlaw
passes the applicants for the classes they
desire to enter they will be accepted
by either one of these institutions without
further examination. If they fail. how
ever, they have several months to further
prepare themselves for another eXamina-
ton to be held just prior to the opening
OF the colleges. This examination is not
for the pupils of the Dublin public schools
who may desire to enter the Sophomore
class in Emory or Mercer or the Fresh
man class at the University. but for all
others in Georgia who for one reason or
another would like to come to Dublin
and be examined rather than wait until
next fail. The appointment of Prot Ward
law to do this work is considered quite a
compliment.
The Southern Express Company VIII
probably be called upon 20 pay a license
tax to do business in this city of $50 in
addition to that already paid by that cor
poratiop. About two years ago the tax
ordinance of the city were fixed so as to
admit express companies that put on free
delivery for the sum OF S25 per year; COM
panies making no delivery being required
10 pay SIS The Southern Express Com
pany Immediately put on a free delivery
and qualified under the SIS clause in the
ordinance. Recently. however. for some
reason the delivery wagon was shipped
away from Dublin and a hand cart fur
nshed the agent here with which 10 de-
liver packages In the business portion OF
the city Taking the wagon off Is held
to be in violation OF the ordinance and
II is probable that the company will be
asked TO pay into the treasury OF the city
$50 more license tax.
