From Georgetown he received his degree of bachelor of arts in 1897, master of arts in 1898 and the degree of doctor of philosophy in 1899, bachelor of laws degree in 1899 and a master's degree in 1900.

Permanently Financial, The money problem has been settled on a permanent basis that guarantees fixed contributions of $1,000 a month from the city of Atlanta, $1.000 a month from the Community Chest and donations in food from the Atlanta Restaurant Association that range in value from $5,000 to $15.000 a month, as necessity requires. The Penny Club contributes funds by having citizens donate a penny each time they partake of their daily meals The relief center embraces a cafe- teria, dormitories for men and women, a clothing dispensary and a wood yard that furnishes free fuel to the poor.

Herbert was one of the direc- tors and a stockholder of the old rail- road, which is now a part of the Penn- sylvania system. The letter, briefly written by hand, reads: “My dear son: “With much satisfaction and inex- pressable surorice I received your let- ter (dated at New Orleans the 24th of October) on Tuesday the 10th_instant, two days less than one month from the day you started from New York.

The picture will portray not only vivid inci- dents of the revolutionary era, but will contain also scenes of the city’s present. outstanding Government edifices.
