do not know the situation as it
now exists, but it is very interest
ing subject to me- I shall look it up
again at the first opportunity. Why?
Because [ know that hundreds of
girls and boys, who cherish a heart

ably work their way through, could
easily do SO if the way were made
clear Many parents have an exag-
gerated idea as to the expense Incl
dent to four, three or two years at an
all-round college. If this difficulty
were removed as it can be, hundreds
Of these ambitious girls and boys
would crowd our college halls next
year, and in the years to come.
[ believe that every college should
have capable person employed to
go among the people and do the
work-impart the information to
which reference has been made.
This moment there comes before me
the now sainted face and form of
good Brother Arnold, whom Emory
College sent over Georgia a number
of years ago in furtherance of this
very thought. He made the path
plain to many noble boys who en-
tered Emory and went out from her
to lead lives of great usefulness. AS
opportunity offered, Brother Arnold
addressed the people, from pulpit and
rostrum, in the interest of his high
mission, but primarily and most eff
fectiVely he discovered the ambitious
boys, and then talked with their
parents. He seldom, if ever, failed
to carry his point. His mission, be
it understood, was not to drum up
students for Emory College, but to

I had enlarged upon the opportu-
mites which that institution would
in a few weeks open to the girls of
Georgia. At the close of the meet
ing. good woman came up and in
troduced herself. She expressed her
self as intensely interested in the
statements l had made as to the
Girls Industrial. She said she had
a daughter she was extremely anx-
ious to see educated up to the full
measure of her mental ability. Her
husband had passed out, leaving her
nothing. Sometimes, she had been
reduced to the necessity of taking in
washing from neighbors who had
known her when she was in good cir
cumstances. I gave her all the facts
as to the institute. With tears
streaming down her cheeks, she
grasped my hand, and exclaimed
aloud: ''What [ have learned today
about that new Georgia Institute has
caused new and a brighter day to
dawn upon me and upon my dear
child. Now, I can work hard with a
light heart and a song of praise to
God on my lips; for I shall realize
the one thing for which I have been
earnestly praying months by months.
My daughter will be educated"
And so it came to pass.

One morning, I found myself at

'|To meeting at three points on and

1t was lovely day. The brethren
and the sisters were out in force and
in the greatest good humor and en-
thusiasm. Colonel Watson was at his
best and enthused the multitude [
gave an Alliance talk; he talked pol
itics. At one of these meetings, I
dwelt on the importance of giving
country girls and boys a chance for
the best education, the best equip
ment obtainable. I told of the spe-
cial purpose had in view by the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia in calling
into existence the Girls Normal and
Industrial Institute at Milledgeville

ton just then about to open it's
doors; for, in assisting in writing
the report of the special committee,
from the House of Representatives
which had visited and inspected the
Schools of Technology in the East

ent Georgia School of Technology, I
wrote three paragraphs which put
the State on notice that, as soon as
the now popular Tech was we'll on

jected in favor of a similar institu-

| have long felt an abiding inter-
est in country girls and boys who are
ambitious of a college course. T
know somewhat of longings along
that line. I know that, in the hearts
of thousands of Georgia girls and
boys, Southern girls and boys, there
is deep yearning for two to four
years at some good college country
girls and boys, I mean. They look
about them only to become convinced
that, on account of conditions at
home, the yearning, unless a special
Providence shall intervene, can not
be more than dream. That worthy
ambition is nurtured as a sweet Sc
cret. Now and then, a girl or boy
turns to the mother, and whispers in
her ear the story of that consuming
desire. And the mother expresses
the hope that the way will be opened
whereby that desire of all desires
may be realized.
With view, to lend encourage
ment to the thousands alluded to, [
have on two occasions, in the recent
past, induced the then Chancellor Of
the University of Georgia, the Presi-
dent of Emory College, the Presi-
dent of Mercer University, the Presi-
dent of the LAGRANGE Female Col
lege, to poll the classes in their re-
spective institutions in order to as
certain the occupation and especially
the place of residence of the parents
or guardians of the students. In both
instances, the poll showed that Is
per cent. of the students came from
the country. By country is meant
villages and what is called the dead
country

this poll was taken, but it was dur
