riCulturaI Train That viii Be
Out for Forty Days-WilI Be
Well Equipped

The last detail is now complete for
the running of the second college on
wheels" by the Georgia College OF Agri-
culture through the farming commune
ties of the state.
DIR. Andrew NJ Souie's official bulletin,
setting forth accurately and finally the
itinerary which the train will follow,
and all other particulars in advance an
nounoement. was released for publica-
ton Thursday and The Journal reprints
it below. It speaks fully for itself
Throughout Georgia the itinerary set
ting forth the towns that the train viii
visit and the dates 1t viii visit them.
will be read with consuming interest.
The publication of It has been withheld
by DIR. Soule till all its facts were abb
solutely certain. Some minor amend
ments have been made from time TO
time in the original tentative itinerary,
and tt has been improved till now 1t
represents the best possible tour Of the
state that could possibly be arranged
for the purposes of the train.
Numerous towns and cities in Georgia
have been almost strenuous in their ef-
forts to get a place on the itinerary
They have exerted every endeavor and
used every fair means to win their point.
This enthusiasm, contrasted with the
apathy and lack of understanding which
the first of these trains, run in 1905,
successfully met, speaks volumes in pre-
diction of the statewide fervor which
the approaching tour will leave behind
1t.

Education is the slogan of today. and
in no state has the public come TO
more thoroughly appreciate its adj
.vantages than in Georgia. In response
TO the public demand, the state COZ
Iexe OF Agriculture in cooperation with
the various railroads has undertaken
to organize and operate second train
throughout the state, since it is be-
Iieved that there is no way in which
for limited expenditure OF the states
money so much information Of direct
practical value can be disseminated
over so wide a territory The import
ance of operating this train viii be
better appreciated when II is realized
that II will travel about 6.0o0 miles,
covering the greater part OF Georgia

140 towns and cities

iy $1,000 people It is belieysd that
a larger number will visit the present
one, since its equipment Is bitter In
all respects and its exhibits more elab-
crate The cost of equipping and oper
ating this train is being chiefly borne
by friends of agricultural education
and is not, therefore, mourning any
material outlay Of state funds.
