A Little Incident in Wards Semi

NASHVILLE, May 24.-[Special1
A strike took place at Wards
seminary several days ago, which
has leaked out and is being COM
mented on in a commendatorv
manner by those who have heard
it. The history class in the acade.
mic department were reciting their
lesson, in which it was stated that
Hon. Jefferson Davis was captured
during the war arrayed in a lady's
garb. They were made indignant
at this and refused to 90 any furth>
er, and the class was dismissed.

asked about the "strike" and said
that the Urls had been promised a
holiday and did this to get it. The
history used in the school is Hig-
ginson's. and Professor Hancock
says it is like nearly all other schoo
histories, in that it gives a fair anC
accurate account ct the late war
"The strike" did not amount t.

they are sufficiently informed t.

protest against being taught an,

ordered another history, and vii
