TO THAI A t.IHl.* FIK COLLEGE.
Miss llartrldae's Pupils Have Taken
Utah Hawk. ,
Fifteen years ago few. If any. Savan
nah girl*, an l comparatively few South
ern girl*, hud ever beeh graduated from
one of the larger women's colleger-.
Whether this was duo t prejudice that
ha* been only recently overcome. Is open
lo question; but It Is certain mat there
were In this section few so-called coll*v<*
preparatory schools, and If a girl
decided to enter Bryn Alawr or Valour or
Wcileslev. or Smith, It was only to ttnd
■ hat *b- had several more years ot study
ahead of her before she could even h0,..t
to pass the entrance examinations In I stun
ml mathematics, and possibly hi French
and English.
Alls* Hurlildge. who wns graduated ff-un
Vassar In IM2. felt strongly Ihe need hete
of an Institution ihut would not only
pre|>ure pupils for college. If they %v|nh.-i
to go, but In case they did not. would
give them a thorough training that would
stand them In good siead through life.
It wo - to meet this need that Immediate
ly alter graduation, sne opened her school,
a school tnat has since Justified the need
for its existence.
In lagj, there were In V***ar College
but two girls front Ihe whole state of
Georgia. By IKK. upon Ihe entrance of
one of her pupil* to the sophomore class.
Miss liuriridge received the following
Utter from Vassar. placing her school

"Dear Ml** ll irtrldg*: Are you pleased
lo know that the faculty ha*. In conse

placed your school upon our seen 01 ted
Hat?
"I congratulate you upon your success,
ami hope lh.it you moy be ib|p to seed
us many more slu-lents, on certificate If
you will, or by examination If you pr, -
fer. Cordially yout*. Eila McCaleb, Sec

In 1*97. iwo other glrht from Savannah
entered Va*ear. and In 1*99. still three oth
er* went to college, one to the Woman’s
College of Baltimore. Now |n Alls* liart

will, in three year*, he ready and eager
to lake Ihe entrance examinations. But
Miast HartrMge'* aim I* not only to pre

the Idea being that every |>upll may. at
least. Isarn bow to study and what eh*
want* to study To meet the Increasing
denmnd*. Mis* Hnrtrldge ha* enlarged her
school somewhat, but her main object in
adding o her corps of teacher*. Is that
Hits may be able 10 keep chiefly In her own
hands the Instruction of the younger
children Not so very long ago there was
a strong impression that anyone could
teach a young child; that Ihe foumlatlon
was of considerable less moment than th*
superstructure. To-dny peopie are Its.
ginning to rsallxe ihut th> younger Ihe
pupil ihe greater tho nerd for careful
attd systematic nr,ltd training, and that It
Is scutqely fair to their children to place
them, when young, with Inexperienced or
incompetent Instructors, snd expect great
results of them when older.
In October the school will be re-opened
on the corner of Gaston and Habersham

T me was when naught but Indian trails

to "The Fork* of the Ohio." Then these
trail* became the paths over which pass
ed the paekhorse trains, which, tn the
pioneer day# of Pittsburg, supplied the
few settlers here with the ne<'e**itlra of
life and kept them In communication with
the outside world. In view of the wide
contrast between this early method of
traffic and that of to-day It may be In
teresting to know that a train of pack
horses consist- and of from five to a do*, n
and even mnr., tethered by a hitching
rope one behind the other. The master of
ths train rode before or followed after the
horses and directed the r movements by

horae carried aho tit 330 pound* burden.
The harness consisted of a pack saddle and
a halter, and the lead hirst- often. In ttd

It can scarcely be said that road* were
established In this section until mmt

although the old military road*, thos#
constructed by the urmie* of Braddock
and Forties, gave this section some *<t

construction of the early ros.b, wtv h
connected Pittsburg with the East this
primitive system did not at once die out.
By 17*9 the old military road* had be
come almost Impassable, and finally about

though this old artery of travel and
traffic ha* long ago gone Inin dis
use, Its t. rtuou* windings are to this day
discernible along Ihe rb h hillsides and
