standard of institutions heavily en-
Gowed.
The curriculum consists Of the fol-
lowing courses: Kindergarten, gram
mar, normal, commercial and indus
trial These courses afford excellent
advantages for youths seeking a well
rounded development. The opportuni-
ties which it affords ambitious poor
young people are not excelled by those
of any institution Of its kind in the
south. The beautiful grounds and
buildings and activity Of the academy
settlement present true college at
mosphere. The faculty consists Of six
teen instructors, who are graduates
from some of the best universities In
'he country These learned men and

dent Quite number of units are re-
Quired Of a student before graduating,
and, with the efficient faculty and able
business administration, its graduates,
scattered in many states, are splendid
examples of thrift and industry.
Results prove that this academy Is
among the best institutions Of learning
in the south. The department Of mu-
sic has as its head the famous tenor
singer Professor Sidney Woodard.
Professor n w. Collier. who gradu-
ated from Atlanta university with high
honors, served as vice president Of the
academy from 1894 to 1896, at which
time he became its president and has
served faithfully in that capacity
since. Being man Of extraordinary
executive ability, liberal education and
a student of men, he has made the in
stitution a monument for the denomi-
nation and the race.
Professor Collier Is modest and Is
not given to applause. He Is broad
hearted and possesses magnetism
that causes men, irrespective Of de-
nominational affiliations, to contribute
to the work in which he Is laboring SO
ardently to make succeed. Among the
distinguished personages who have
visited and addressed the student body
are ex-President Roosevelt and other
northern and southern educators

NOT ENOUGH MONEY
TO RAISE MAINE

Washington, June 27.-Of course the
out the wishes of Congress, twice ex-
pressed, that an effort shall be made to
raise the wreck of the battleship Maine
from the bottom of Havana harbor
where it lies inbedded in, q feet of slime
and ooze. But the engineers are frank
the task before them and believe the
100000 appropriation will not be sufficient
So their present idea is to use as much
money as may be necessary to make a
thorough examination of the wreck and
the surrounding bottom of the harbor.
The only known method of raising a
ship In the condition of the Maine Is to
surround her with a coffer-dam from
which the water can be pumped. allow
ing the hull to be drained and the holes
in the bottom closed Engineering his
tory fails to disclose a coffer-dam of the
mammoth proportions that would be- re-
quired to enclose the Maine, for it must
be as long as city block and as high
as a five or six-story building from the
bottom of the timbers to the top It's
cost would probably exceed the total
appropriation.
So what the engineers probably will
do is to make thorough preliminary in
vestigation. This will cost a good deal
of money and occupy much time. In fact
it is reasonably certain that Congress
will again be in session before the results
are known and engineers can tell just
how much money 1t will cost to raise the
ship. Then If Congress should decide
to supply the deficiency in the appropria-
tion the wreckers will go ahead with their
work Otherwise 1t seems probable that
the Maine will be broken up in the water
and removed piece-meal from the bottom
of the harbor.
