The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-04-26
The Barnard street school.

The attendance at the Barnard street
school was full, and the number of Wis
ltors showed the interest taken in the
cause of education by the parents and
friends of the scholars. The programme
was not only carried out in extenso, but
the best pieces and best speakers and
performers were encored, and several
recltatlons were repeated so as to extend
the exercises, in the hope that President
Mercer and Superintendent Baker who
were making the rounds of all the schools,
would arrive before the school was dis
missed. After waiting some time, the
exercises were closed without those pres
ent having the pleasure of the presence of
these gentlemen
All the children showed familiarity
with their pieces and careful training on
the part of their teachers. The following,
however, are mentioned as having ex-
hlbited special talent:
The Smack in School, by Sammil Allen;
The Ballad OF Cassandra Brown by Julia
Bythewood; A Boys Complaint, by Robbie
Rice; The Cultured Daughter OF a Plain
Grocer, by Eddie Abrahams; and Selling the
Baby. by Carl Stern. The song When the
Tide Comes In, was very well rendered by the
following pupils; Gertrude Minis Mabel
Freeman, John Butler and Frank Cooper.
An instrumental piece entitled, Smiling
Springtime' was we'll executed by Carrie
Nichols.
Mrs. F. E. Cotchett, principal of the
Barnard street school anti her able
corps of teachers, have evidently made
up their minds to make the oldest public
school in Savannah the best, if careful
attention to their duties will produce
that result.

was assigned to the school, and was in
attendance during the morning.
