VIII Transfer the Old st. Johns Academy
Effects to the Public schools

ALEXANDRIA. VA, May lO.-special
Citizens here are now discussing the oiier
made the city school board recently by
the Rev. Richard l.. Carne. now pastor
Of the Church of the Sacred Heart III
Richmond Father Carne offers the
hoard for the schools here all the phiios-
ophical apparatus. cases OF mineIHls,
woods. various specimens and military
outfit. OF old ST. Johns Academy for I.
sum OF 500.
The offer seems to have been made In
the spirit of generosity more than any
thing else. vet ii is argued that the price
mentioned is either exhorbitant or not
10 be considered for the value of some
things at all for the Hallmell collection
embraced in it would command a much
larger sum wherever such things are
needed at all.
Mr.. Carne was an instructor in this old
school as far back as the early thirties
and after the war and until a few years
ago when the public schools were pat
ronized by some Of the best people and
all but one Of the old one-story private
school went by the board, it was consid-
cred his own.
Some thirty-fve hundred youths had
been in his charge. they on the average
acquitted themselves well and he saw his
school die with the increase of the pop
ularity and efficiency OF the public schools
Of which he also had charge and that for
more than quarter Of century.
Mr.. Carne was a progressive educator
he did all he could for his boys and did
that well.
After doing aI that he possibly could
at the head OF schools he has entered the
priesthood OF the church. which his par
ents consecrated him 10 In early life. and
this last act OF his cannot but come from
the heart Of such a man as Mr. Carne and
II IS hoped that the town school board will
consider these things in detail and equip
the Alexandra schools founded by George
Washington with all that is possible to
make them more useful.

The Progress., 1897-02-13

What grim irony. A ball-cost-
ing s250,O0o was given in New
York, and a perfect army OF police
was employed to keep the starving
poor from clustering around the
premises. They must move on or
else tempted beyond endurance by
the sight of SO much profligacy
while they starve, one poor mother
might be tempted to steal a crumb
of cake or bone of chicken or tur-
key, to keep her little child from
starving. Heavens! is not God
charitable that He does not strike
down such people who will be SO
heartlessly cruel, under such cir
cumstances.
And yet there be hypocrites
who wonder (?) what it is that
generates anarchism.
The Progress., 1897-02-13
FOR OUR NEEDY.

A good committee is at work In
our city soliciting contributions for
the distressed drouth sufferers. AT
first The Progress, was inclined to
the belief that much of the piteous
appeals came from politicians-bad
luck to them-who were about
their regular business of trying to
appear as great humantarians,
ever ready (?) to help their peo-
pie in need. But there is evident
ly deep want in some of the par
ishes. In to-day's issue of The
Progress we have clipping from
the Clarion-Appeal, stating that
women and children are begging
from house to house, of those who
cannot divide their scant food with
them.
Among those soliciting aid here,
the only one the writer has seen,
was Mr.. H. H. Hargove. And
right here we pause long enough
to say, that this man Hardy Har-
