APPEAL MADE FOR
RE|NHARDT COLLEGE
An Institution That Should
Receive The Support
of Every One.

rCnity they have ever had to demon
strate their love for humanity and
filth in God. There has never been
presented to this people cause that
appeals more to the heart of the true
nan than the one calling for help at
Weleska- Reinhardt College. This
school is not local affair. l would not
lift up my voice to ask man to help
WeleSka as Weleska. | want every
man to ponder this sentence-"THIS
SCHOOL is NOT A LOCAL AT
FAIR" If Reinhardt College only
stood for the community there | would
expect the community OF carry it's
own burdens. Reinhardt stands for
tie hundreds and thousands Of boys
and girls all over our country Facts
are stubborn things. Evidence is
forthcoming that the work of Rein
hardt College is second to none, so far
as she goes, in the South You know
tree by it's fruits; you know a father
by his children; you know a school
by its graduates. Reinhardt men are
leading at Emory and Mercer. Rein
hardt girls stand at the front in Bessie
Tiff, LAGRANGE and the Georgia Nor
nal and Industrial College Reinhardt
Zen and women lead in the teaching
profession in North Georgia and South
Georgia. Reinhardt works for a ma
ton. Her products represent her
over a wide territory and in many
walks of life. Through great sacrifice
the work is carried on by faithful
teachers and friends When her fin
ished product steps forth from her
walls he goes out to help her people
Her graduates appreciate their train
ing more after they have travelled
over the state and elsewhere II per-
chance some student of Reinhardt
should be so little as to value his
money more than he does his com
munity and his country, he becomes a
stumbling block to the Institution
The man who will invest his money
for any cause away from home and
krow the record of this struggling
work, and then refuse to help, certain
- has a misconception of life.
| am happy to say that the masses
o the people are rallying to the work.
Some have almost given the widows
mite
A book will be kept in the Office of
this institution with all the names of
those who give. 1t will be the Honor
Roll of Greater Reinhardt-a monu-
rent to their noble purpose.
When a neighbours house burns peo-
plo gladly help him repair it, THIS
Is A CASE WHERE THE Chill
pREN OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY
HAVE LOST, but if every one who
can will take an active part, the in,
sitution will be put on a good bust
ness basis. The present building in
caures of erection must be thoroughly
equipped and tirst-class in every re-
srect. With a generous support from
ali we could build a girls dormtory,
70 accommodate a hundred girls, with
Nater-works and electric lights, COM
hined with a central dining hall, where
all students could get their meals at a
minimum cost The present dormi-
tories are NEEDED for the boys. The
school has enlarged land facilities and
one of the most beautiful campuses in
North Georgia. It will be an easy
matter to institute an experimental
station, growing vegetables. and farm
work of different kinds can be done.
WHEN YOU INVEST IN REIN
HARDT YOU ARE INVESTING IN
SOMETHING THOROUGHLY UP TO
DATE, The past is secure and the
future is unlimited in it's possibilities.
My friend, you cannot make an
investment that will yield greater
dividends, that will last longer, that
will be better placed and that will
find more worthy boys and girls to
hclp. You may search our home and
foreign fields. you may study your
school work. | care not where you go,
you cannot find better chance to do
something worth while. Some, | am
sure, had rather spend their money
elsewhere; some are too misery to
make an investment that would help
folks. God have mercy on the mlser
NLo holds his money at the expense
OF human life. | thank God that the
masses of our people stand like brave
men, anxious to do something in this
supreme moment. Some of our most
loVal supporters are women.
Listen, it is impossible for the citi-
Eens of Weleska to carry this load. 1t
is not wise to crush the life out of
those who stand ready to die if need
be. One spontaneous effort on the
Part of everybody will do more to knit
me people together, and to cause our
people to understand each other than
years of disconnected action WHEN
YOU TALK TO A MAN ON A PROP
OSITION OF THIS KIND YOU WILL
LEARN WHAT KIND OF A SOUL
HE HAS. Those who contribute to
the building of Greater Reinhardt
shall be looked upon in the years to
come as the founders of this new en-
terprise. Shall we not say on the
cornerstone. Greater Reinhardt built
for all the people by all the people,?
Sincerely, r. c.. SHARP
