Old Oglethorpe University has as
distinguished place in history as
any educational institution in the
land. Woodrow Wilson, whose uncle
was a professor there for ten years,
played as a boy beneath the big trees
on the campus at Milledgeyille. Will
liam G. McAdoo was also reared be-
meath their shade Joseph NJ. Brown,
former Governor of Georgia, was
graduate of the last class in 1872
Theodore Roosevelt and United States
Senator Bacon are both descended d.
rectly from its founders.
The whole history of the South,
and to some extent that of the nation
from 1885 until long after the war
was intimately interviewer with that
of this first great Southern univer-
sity
1t is just such another Southern
and national institution as this that
Atlanta is now planning to build
from old Oglethorpes ashes.
While most histories Of Oglethorpe
begin with the year 1885, as a mat
ter of fact, the idea began as far
back as 1923, when leading Georgians
and Southerners began to dream and
talk Of its founding.
Historians Account.
The historian. Charles Edgeworth
Jones, gives the following circum-
stantial description of how the uni
versity had It's origin and was char
tered by the General Assembly of
Georgia in 1885:
This university had its origin in
division OF the interests of the Edu-
cation Society OF Georgia, at it's dis
solution. between the two manual la
Dor schols, the Midway Seminary and
the Gwinnett Institute. The trustees
of the Midway Seminary, in the
spring Of 1885, rendered It to the
Hopewell Presbytery. believing that
ecclesiastical supervision would give
weight and permanency to the object,
and secure the moral and religious
influence over 1t which, with strict
and reasonable discipline, would rem
der It more worthy of support and
confidence The Presbytery accepted
the offer and appointed a committee

age and have faith, and you can do
whatever you set your mind and
heart to-"
Captain English appealed to the
young men personally to take an in
terest In this and other movements Of
the sort for the benefit of Atlanta,
and concluded with the suggestion Of
vote OF thanks to the Atlanta press
for what it has done and proposes
to do for the building of this institu-
ton. The motion was carried and the
meeting adjourned.

The motion was seconded by r. G..
Aston and adopted by a rising vote.
George NJ Brown expressed warm
approval Of the plan and indicated
that he would lend 1t material as
sistance.
Clark Howell then moved that a

pointed by Chairman English at his
leisure, and that this committee get

Keeping the Linen in Order

A well-ordered linen closet is JOY
to every housewife who fortunately
possesses one. The. really ideal linen
closet. of course. is one that is big
enough to have window, but the
usual linen closet is built into some
Granny of the upper hall, in rather
dark, t-of-the-way corner. This
sort of closet is. of course, just as
useful as the larger, airier one, and
with a little attention can be made
to look almost as we'll

When we have health we find the
world a beautiful place to live, either
out of doors or in our homes. When
we have disobeyed the laws OF nature
and are i'll there is nothing anywhere
that looks good or beautiful to us.
Hygiene is important because II
teaches how to care for the body.
Just now so much of this is taught
in the schools that l should like to
follow I'D during the summer with
few articles along this line of to-
DAYS subject. Children and grown
people cannot just be taught hygiene,
which is really the care of the body
and health, but they must live II.
Summer, with everything in nature
calling everyone out of doors oer
the hills and far away" is a fine time
to put many of these things learned
into practise and be well--not one SICK
day. Make up your mind to that,
live for that, and everyone Will be
surprised at the great gain to them
selves and happiness during the sum-
mer months.
If you are i'll make record OF the
sickness and see whether. it could
have been prevented. No child enjoys
the stomachache, or toothache, OF
headache. A mother with the proper
interest in her child's health for the
present and future can, with a little
quiet talk, have her child readily
understand why he has these aches
and If he takes no care,of his body he
must pay the penalty. They will very
soon want to be we'll. We used to
think babies had to have the collie
Now we know that Is not true. Give
them good, nourishing food, plenty Of
pure air, simple clothing and they
thrive.
l remember DR.. Lee. editor OF
Health Culture, who stands for every
thing natural and simple in living. We
had many interesting talks on how tc
care for the body, good food and
clothing and how to keep well and
healthy. He gave me few sug.
gestions which 1 am going to pass or
to YOU They are good for young and
old. Try them this summer, and
there will not be a day when some Of
them cannot be followed with goo6

Invitations for a vegetable party
were sent on the backs of old seed
packets, and each girl was told to
wear something representing a yege-
table. The young men later found
their partners for supper by GUESSING
the vegetable represented. The house
was brilliantly decorated with strings
of peppers, on tops, etc, and it was
amusing if not beautiful. The centre
piece was a huge cabbage followed
out and filled with a mass of green
onions and red geraniums. A wreath
of round red radishes twined around
this.
Little contest books, ornamented
with painted vegetables having faces,
were given the guests, and prizes
were given for correct answers to the
questions within. The answer to each
was the name of vegetable.

plication is said to cure deafness.
Onion juice, too, is a well-known hair

ointment, called Devils Mustard, was
supposed to curea cancer, to remove
tumors, etc. 1t was compounded of
garlic, which is of the onion family,

leeks improved the human voice, and,
as he was ambitious of being fine
singer, he had leek diet on several
days each month. Pliny recommend

who lived for several days on the
