TELESCOPE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL
The Graduating Glass to Present 1t
as a Memorial.

as a Memorial.
The girls and boys of the graduating
class of the high school organized them
selves into a committee yesterday for the
purpose of securing for the school tel
escope to be used in connection with
their studies in astronomy, to be taken
up by them soon in their regular course
Heretofore this interesting branch of
science has been illustrated only by means
of a small glass, loaned for that purpose,
by a gentleman of this city.
The object is i'm every way a commend
able one, and worthy of the hearty coop
grafton of every publicspirited citizen.
1t is proposed to make the telescope a
class memorial TO the cause of education
in Savannah, and to make it the perma-
nent property of the high school. In this
way all subsequent classes passing through
the school will share its benefits.
After communicating with number of
telescope manufacturers in the United
States, the celebrated firm of Alvan
has been selected to furnish the glass
In the art of telescope making Alvan
Clark & Sons stand unrivalled. The lenses
of the great Lick telescope the new Chi
cago equatorial, and many other of the
finest glasses in this country and in Europe
have been made by them. The class hopes
to raise sufficient funds to secure an in
strument with a six-inch objective, hav-
ing a power of from 900 to 800 diameters.
This is as large an instrument as can be
conveniently handled without a fixed OBJ
servatory.
Such an instrument would be a credit
: not only to the school, but to the city it.
self. Nearly all the high schools of the
country are supplied with telescopes as
necessary pieces of apparatus in their ed
ucational work, and Savannah ought not
to be behind in this respect.
1t is proposed to raise the amount nee
essary to pay for the telescope by sub
scription, and committees from the grad
uating class will call upon their friends
in a few days to ask their financial as

Among the places visited was the CITY

They were specially attracted by a fine dis

the stalls.

the largest stock and the very finest Sc
lections of everything in his line and it is
no wonder that strangers are attracted by
his elegant display.-ad
