After some discussion the resolution was adopted.
AID FOR SOUTHERN SUFFERERs-The
Secretary OF the American Union Commission IL
Philadelphia has just received report from then
agent in Georgia, IRON which we make the following
extracts. We 40 so in the hope that the benevolent
people OF PennsylvanIa and New Jersey will be in
duced TO ala this noble institution in ITS patriotic
and Christian labors.
After speaking OF other matters, Mr.. Adams, the
Agent, goes on say And now introduce SUBJ
ject about which am becoming more and more
interested every hour and that is reference TO put
ung INTO operation machinery OF education here
IN Atlanta tnat will be adequate and effective.
There are In this city three hundred white chill
dlen whom we ought TO eoucate They have learned
of our Commission, ana that PENNSYLVANIA and New
jersey have unoertaB en-, as their part OF the work
assist State of Georgia in its present suffering
condition. The mothers of these poor children come
daily either to office our school house, and
put IN the most ptitul ppncations for them TO be
our disposal2-ths crammed to the uttermost
already. One hundred and thirty names are nov on
the roll. AS a result of our limited accommodation
one hundred have been turned away; they depart
crying and sadly disappointed
Many little ones, poor and destitute, have. called
to-day 10 get clothing from MISS P. As they
we've trying on their garments their little faces
brshtened up, as they told me that they We're g0ine
out. lt was sad thing to know, as did, that then
high hopes were destined TO be blasted.
Since my arrival here have gone over the city tO
seek for o her rooms, but none are to be obtained
Every old shed even is occupied The small hove
nov Tor the school is dirty, and badly sur
rounded II is eighteen by twenty feet, and has bu
window, and costs US twenty dollars per month
To fit il up properly wOuid cost two hundred dollars
1t would then accommodate only fifty children a
they should be accommodated at school. As they
now literally jammed lo0ether, they have poo
idea of what a school-room should be.
After consultation with number of prOminen
interest taken in the poor of the town, and finding
the teachers ana children must suffer in their healLl
unless other quarters are provided have taken tue
responsibility 10 a frame building erec 'el
twenty by fortY-eight feet, with q partition tin
centre, TO cost five hundred dollars. Another build
ing Of the same dimensions ought TO go up Il
another section of the city, but for this shal wal
your approval
You have how at work teaching two most highl
educated and estimable Chnst ladies, from Ohio
and one of them has a sis er the city, ready I
enter into the work of teachlag at once, should yo
order the second room erected The cost Of carry
ing on the schools for the hrst year will be 10
lows:-
Erection of two buildings, $500. ............. .Sl0C
PLAIN iuIn ture and books, 800. .....,.......,. 70
Salaries Tor tour teachers, $3.50. .,,..,....... 22f
s84C
If I could only see your wealthy men, or the pei
pie OF Pennsylvania and Lew Jersey, and portra
the condition OF these children and the hope IL
dulged by their methers, ieel that could rely o
their magnanlmIty TO guarantee money enough
support their schools as well as the schools OF Mac0l
Athens, and other places Ou have undortakep
these children have had no school prvi eges fC
four years past, aud unless we give them they RI
not likely to have for one or two to come.
We would remind the pubnc that Samuel Worl
No 36 South Third sreet Philadelphia, is Treasure
OF this Commission, and Ilat through this .chann
alone can tine paOr VIII te cmld! en- be reached IN IL
