The COLLEGE TO Open
DOORS FOR FALL Term
Americas School Will Receive
Many Students

Americas will be the Mecca today
for scores and dozens 81 pupils, rep
resenting a half dozen States and half
the counties of Southwestern Geor-
gia, who will come to attend the fail
session Of the Third District Agri-
cultural College, which opens it's doors
to the students at 9 O'Clock tomorrow
morning.
And this session wilF be the busiest
and best since the school was estab-
lished here three years ags.
From the very first day the success
attending the Third District School
has been phenomenal. and this sue
cess has grown steadily until it sur
passes the expectations of the most
sanguine friends of the institution.
Fully two hundred pupils will come
here this session, if that number can
be accommodated.
Superintendent ColltS1n and his able
assistants have been busy for days
past enrolling pupils assigning them
to classes and dormitory quarters, and
already it is clearly seen that there
will not be room sufficient for all pu-
pills applying. Some must be turned
away, as is always the case there,
However, the story of cramped con-
ditions will be told differently ere long,
as seems evident, in the building of
new dormitory.
The sale of the hundred acres land
far remote from the college will bring
a handsome nucleus to the building
fund. This will be augmented from
other sources, and ere another fall ses-
sion begins the agricultural college
will have upon it's campus fine dor
mitory for its young lady students.

The new Twelfth district is COM

third. With the ex option of Lal-
rens, Mr.. Hughes is not very w,lI
known in the other counties, but men
who have never seen him state that

Mayor of WilHmantic that thousands
Of dollars are being wasted by ineffi-
cheney in municipal government.
H. A. King, corporation counsel, of
Mer1den, speaking simply as a citizen
and not as a representative of that
city, favored the Peck measure. He
stated that he likes it because it is
optional and it Is right that any city
which wishes to make the experiment
shall have the right to do so. He
said that Senator Peck deserves the
thanks of the General Assembly for
bringing up the matter for discussion.
Mayor and Sheriff George Forster of
Rockville, said that many members Of
Common Councils under the present
form Of municipal government are not
representative Of the people but are
In the control Of some outside interest.
He believes that the commission form
Of government would afford a remedy
to this evil
william J. Boardman of Norwich,
representing the Socialist party of
Connecticut, opposed the Peck bill and
commission government in general.
He said that commission government
Is form Of autocracy and is a step
backward. He said that DIT IS a gov
eminent purely in the interests Of the
business class and removes the power
from the people He said that 1t is
OF administration somewhat, but that
Is not the point; DIT reduces the demo-
cracy Of the government. He added
that far from eliminating politics, it
tends to build up individual political
machines. Each commissioner through
his sub commissioners and the various
employees OF his Office is able to con-
struct personal political machine
around himself that all the kings
horses and all the kings men cannot
break down. The Capitalization of
great power In small group Of men
Is always an extremely dangerous ex-
pertinent, he said, fraught with great
powers for evil
