LoNGFELLOW's BIRTHDAY.

The celebration of Longfellow's
birthday by the colored pupils Of our
Baxter schools was q grand success.
Although the evening was the coolest
of the year the hall was filled with an
appreciative audience and was tastily
decorated under the supervision OF
VIM. Martin. "The Welcome" was
pointed and well rendered. "Resigna-
ton" was delivered In Q style In keep.
ing with the sentiment Of that poem.
The life Of Longfellow was well
sketched and thoroughly covered 40
we'll as 1t could be IN Q paper of lite
length. 1.-THE Famine" an extract
from the beautiful poem "Hiawatha,"
was rendered with good expression as
was "The Builders"-all by Miss Do.
tvs scholars. The two papers on
Longfellow's two most beautiful po-
ems-"The Courtship of Miles Stand
ish" and "Evangeline"-showed that
each of these popular poems had been
closely studied. Those papers were
rendered by pupils of Mrs. Harris
grammar class as was also the sweet
est of that authors short poems, "The
Flowers" The rendering of Long
fellows "Psalm of Life" by Mrs.
Harris primary class was perfection In
time and expression. Much credit 10
due Mr.. aud Mrs. Hart and Mics DOty
for the success of that entertainment.
Prof. Clark assisted in preparing some
excellent music for the occasion. There
was not as many parents Of pupils
present as should have been. Those
who were there received the highest
and most intelligent literary enter.
tainment ever given by colored .peo-
ple to the citizens of Baxter Syringe;
It was one that was creditable 10 any
community and honorable to any pu-
pills of the grade of those who partici::
pated. .
We regret that the children marked
the absence of the parents. This
should not be. The effect Is to make
the children feel that there IL lack Of
interest in them on the part Of par
ents. This feeling produces an indif.
ference in pupils the results Of which
parents will sec aud feel when it is toe
late. Children should be encouraged
by parents as well as by strangers.
