NAL and Industrial College located
here will open next Monday and the
indications are that the coming year
is going to be banner one for the
school. Already the full number OF
students that the college can take
care of have registered and the presi-
dent is mailing out circulars to pros
pective students telling them they
cannot be Accommodated this year be-
cause of the lack of proper facilities.
In giving out the places at the coll
lege certain regulations have been fol-
lowed in accordance with the custom
that has prevailed for several years.
1. Every county is given its full
share of places, provided application
is made in due time. Any county fail
ing to make application in due time
forfeits its place and some other coun-
ty secures it, as it is necessary to give
reply to the hundreds Of applications
tons are not accepted because they
come from counties already fully rep
resented.
2. Preference for admission is CIV
en- to young ladies who are further ad-
vanced in their studies. Unless there
is some strong reason to the contrary,
A girl who has finished her home
school and received a diploma from
the High School has on advantage ov-
er the girl who has not yet completed
the work in her home school. No girl
should expect to receive admission to
the college unless she is able to ente;
as high as the Freshman class o,
higher.
3. No girl under Is years of age is
eligible for admission to the college
dormitories or to the college classes
and no exception can be made to this.
In fact, preference is generally given
to young ladies who are older and
more mature.
4. The date of application is also
considered.
3. The neatness with which the ap-
plication is written and the accuracy
of statement regarding studies, etc, is
carefully considered. A carefully
written application, accompanied by
we'll written letter, is helpful to the
applicant.
6. 1t is helpful to the applicant to
have a former teacher write to the
president giving a recommendation
concerning the scholarship, ability,
health and character of the student.
Z. Former students of the G. n {:
l. College will be judged according to
the records they have made during the
previous year. When a student has
failed in scholarship or conduct or
health or in showing the proper spirit
toward her work, then her name may
be placed on the waiting list and in
such case must yield preference TO
other Georgia girls who give promise
of making a more satisfactory use of
the opportunities offered them at the
college. A girl cannot expect to hold
a place at the college for the seconl
year unless she has earned it by SAL
isfactory record.
8. Every effort is made to give care
full consideration to the various appli-
cations and to give justice to each one.
Many times worthy applicants fail to
gain places in the college because they
have not presented application in good
form or because applications do moi
meet fully some of the foregoing quail
ifications.
