the Schools.
Yesterday was day long to be remem-
bered in the history of Savannahs public
schools, and everything considered even
commencement will hardly bring its repe-
tition.
About 1000 merry, happy, smiling chill
dren, attired in their Sunday best were
gathered in their respective classes
throughout the schools, to render the va
rious programmes of songs, dialogues and
recitatiOns which their earnest teachers
have spent 50 much energy and labor
in preparing and training the children
to carry them out successfully; and sue
cess seemed to have smiled on their eff
forts
The day was a perfect one. and the
fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and
aunts of the school children turned out
IN force to look with pride upon the
achievements of their youthful energies.
The visiting attendance was large at all
of the schools, and great interest and
qualification was expressed on all sides at
the work accomplished.
sUPT. BAKERS VISITS.
Supt. Baker visited all the schools dur
ing the day, and his visits and talks to
the children were highly appreciated.
He expressed much qualification at the
way in which the exercises and work
We're conducted, and urged upon all the
children the Importance of returning to
school after the holidays, as in spite of
the heat it would be far
more healthful in pleasant school
rooms than upon the streets or Gin the
canals, " as he expressed it when he spoke
to the boys.
Col George A. Mercer, president of the
board of education, also paid all the
schools visit, and had pleasant word
for the children and teachers. Among
the other members of the board were
Capt. Henry Blum and Col. j. H. Estill.
The exercises at all the schools were good
and were credit to the teachers who
planned them.
The exercises closed the oral examina-
lions which have been conducted during
the week. The attendance of visitors at
the schools has been large all through the
week, but yesterday was the special day,
and visitors came in crowds

FEDERAL MEMoR1AL DAY.
Department Commander Gleason Is
sues the Grand Army Order.

Department Commander Gleason of the
grand army encampment Of Georgia has
issued the order for the observance of
Memorial day on May 30. 1t appears as
general order No. and reads as follows;
Not to revive the bitterness Of war or 10
perpetuate the memory OF international STRIFE,
but to pay tribute TO those simple virtues that
all lands delight TO honor. have We cOnse-
Grated this day to our soldier dead.
The sword Of time has decmated our
ranks, and the day will soon arrive when we
must surrender this duty into other hands,
Our comrades who sleep beneath the pal
metto ana the pine throughout the length
and breadth of this beautiful and rewakened
south are deaf to the tongue Of praise. and
the blossoms that Ecautlfy their lOwly tents
revive no thrill in the heroic dust. But those
high traits Of manhood and devotion that led
them to hold life less than duty are imperiSh-
able and immortal. and IL is meet and proper
that we should impress them. by this token,
upon the generation who Will follow us when
we, too. are laid TO rest.
Let us therefore fail in no observance
while we may. The dead need at our hands no
monument more enduring than flowers. Their
best memorial is the loyal happy, prosperous
and reunited land in which they sleep, and their
noblest epitaph is written in the footsteps Of
the material progress that their great sacri-
flee made possible.
In this department there are 80, 1875 graves OF
gallant men. Let it be seen to. as sacred
trust that not one OF these is unadorned on
Memorial day.
