their values, hoG eless in the space
allowed. Memphians are esteemt d
here for their activity in promoting
the best Interests Of the great move
ment, and are representatives, OF the
very best Southern Anne lean element.
We have had this week the record OF
the splendid summer schools, which
has been shown in statistics Of work
done by the faculty Of fine special
ists-twenty-two in number. The
number and variety OF schools has
made anything, from primary 10 post
graduate studiee, open to any and all
conferences, and conversations have
added value to the students spplica-
ton to books. language, art and
music have each been especially nots-
BILE for the progress made and the
methods Of instruction practiced.
Frank Beard, the great chalk talker,
gave four lectures this week in the
amphitheateT. To these were added
talks to the children Gilustrated) that
were new, original and brilliant. He
left yesterday leaving impressions not
to be- efiaced by any successor.
Mrs. Alden (Pansy) is now giving
her charming lessons to the children.
She also lectures, or rather talks, to
primary teachers on their work. These
TWO prominent persons, by their talent,
claim the a tention of all. A great
Alabama day, upon which, beside
other ceremonies, ths corner stone OF
the Alabama Teachers Home was laid
with Masonic honore. Col. Johnson
is here, first in every good work. Miss
Anna Johnsln's sweet voice is heard
in our concerts. Miss Emma B.
Browne hss been instrumental in Sc
culiog attractive features to the as.
eembly. Mrs, Carrinpton Mason,
gifted, accomplished and full OF grace,
is the center of charming coterie
OF friends. The work Of Alfred Macon
in the wood carving class has had
comment from teacher and visitors
who saw panel and home smaller
works OF this clever young artist that
were not only creditable, but finished
with the touch OF genius. Mis-, Hen
derson, the teacher, says for the class
here that the work is worthy OF much
older students. Little Elizabeth
Mason has been the sweet model Of
the sketching class, of which Mrs
Mason is a leading member. Seated
on a log, with q graceful pose, the
pretty, innocent face surrounded BY
soft locks confued by a close cap
looks up with lovely expression. A
souvenir was given the little lady by
George W. Chambers, the sketch dont
by himself and adorned with his au
t1graph. Mrs Campbell, pleasant
intel ectual, graceful and kind, hal
couir buted to Memphis papers some
spirited letters Of the doin9s here. Mr.
