GROWTH or PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
HOW PUBLIC EDUCATION HAS AD-
VANCED IN CHATHAM COUNTY.

Comparative Statement for Thirteen
Years, Showing the Increase In
schools, In the Number of Teach
crs and In the Enrolment of Pu-
piIs-Interesting Figures That Tell
the story of Chnthan's Forward
Movement In Educational Matters.
The public school accommodations of
Chatham county bid fair to be taxed 10
their limit at the session which opens on
Monday. Although arrangements have been
made for larger number of pupils
than ever before, by the addition of several
rooms and the doubling up Of some small
grades, the outlook is that the increase In
the enrolment will be fully equal to the
Increase in the accommodations.
There IS steady growth In
the number of children whose
parents are DESTROYS OF educating
them in the public schools and there is
every reason to believe that the time Is
not far distant when it win be necessary
to erect another building for educational
purposes in the city.
The Henry and Anderson street
school will be full, along
with the older school buildings. and the
necessity of providing additional accom-
modations will become imperative. The
new Anderson Street School, erected at
cost of about 500, 900, is recognized by au-
thoritles as the best public school build
ing in the state, and it viii doubtless be
made the model for future efforts.
Few people have any adequate idea of
the progress made in public educa-
ton in Chatham. This county was first TO
establish a public school system and has
ever been foremost. In 1866 there
were 500 white children In
attendance. At the present session there
will probably be nearly 5000. In 1873
when the schools for negro children were
established, the enrolment was 354. This
sessions IL will fan little short of 1900.
Going back to 1856, when the school sys-
tenn began to receive the impetus which
has placed it where ID Is to-day, an inter-
esting comparative statement Is obtain
able from the public records, which shows
at glance some phases of educational
development in Chatham While the
standard of education has been raised the
curriculum broadened and teachers of
greater experience and finer capacity Sc
cured, these are things that can only be
referred to In a general way. General re-
suits, as seen in the proficiency of the pu-
pills and in the praise accorded the schools
by able critics, speak for them. OF other
features, though accurate statistics are
at hand, which have an especial interest
Just at this time, when the publics atten-
ton is directed toward the public schools
From them the progress of the county in
furnishing facilities for the education of
IT'S children is readily seen. The following
table covering the thirteen past years,
tells suceincly a story that will surprise
many, while it will probably interest all.

Capt. CnmpbelIs Talk of Savannah's
Selection As Port of Embarkation.
Some little talk was caused yesterday by
the representations of Capt. A. j. Camp
bell u. S. A, as he is registered at the
DE Soto that Savannah had been selected
as the port of embarkation of troops for
Cuba.
Capt. Campbell claimed to have been au-
thorized by Secretary Alger TO select a
camp site at Savannah for $500 troops.
and to arrange the prelIminarles for their
embarkation.
Capt. Campbell arrived in Savannah sun
day. The fact than he was with the secre-
tary's party here and was seemingly on
intimate terms with Gen. Ludington and
other members OF it. and his statement
that he had been ordered 10 remain here TO
await the secretary's Instructions, gave
credence 20 his announce ment that Savan-
nah had been decided upon as a port of
embarkatiou.
1t seems from the Morning News Wash
inston dispatches that Secretary Atger has
yet made no decision and that Capt Camp

Has About Succeeded in Completing
st. Philips a. VI. e. Church.
Rev A. w. Whitman, the colored evan
gelist, who came to Savannah year ago
to take charge Of the st. Philips A. NJ. E.
Church on New street, has about succeed
ed in getting a sufficient fund to COM
plete the church. Associated with him in
the work is his wife, who has just Joined
him. She is a woman of much force and
intellect, and Will doubtless prove a great
assistance to him in the work he is do
ing.
The church has had many obstacles TO
overcome. 1t suffered recently from the
effects of the storm and as it had pre-
yiously suffered considerable damage, the
membership dropped. There was but a
scant attendance when Rev. Whitman
came to Savannah, but by close applica-
ton and fervent work, he has succeeded
in bringing back under the wing of st.
Philips, the wandering members of the
flock. 1t is expected the church will soon
be competed, SO that the congregation
may worship in il without being incom-
NODDED In any way.

Thought ut First the Capsized city
of Macon Was the big Steamship.
Vice-President John NJ. Egan Of the
Central Railroad and Ocean Steamship
Co, received a shock yesterday morning
from which he did not recover until late
IN the afternoon. It was all about the
City of Macon having capsized. The news
was blow to Mr. Egan. It all grew out
OF the popularity of Macon and the ten
dency of the owners Of steamships TO name
their vessels for the city
II was just before breakfast that Mr..
ESan read the account in the Morning
News OF the capsizlng Of the little Ocmul-
gee river boat The first thing that caught
his eye as he glanced down the column
was the well known name His attention
was at once arrested and 80 for a moment
was his breath. BY the time he 1ad par
TALLY recovered he had gotten into the
item and seen that the little vessel was
not the big boat of the Ocean Steamship
Co.'S.
The City Of Macon was on her way here
from New York yesterday at the time Mr..
Egan read the item and that gave grounds
for a great shock. As soon as he saw
that the accident had occurred near
Brunswick, he was at once reassured, as
he knew the big steamship could not
have been anywhere near there.

VACCINATED MANY CHILDREN.
Numbers of Them Called on Health
Omeer LeHardy Yesterday.


A large number of children were vaccf-
mated in Health officer LeHardy's Office
yesterday. preparatory to entering the
schools. The vaccination k going on
pretty generally all over the city, one city
physician having called for about. sixty
vaccine points during the day
The present painless method of vaccinat-
ing cannot be compared to the rough man
ner In which ii was formerly done Neat
ly polished strips of white bone almost
as thin as paper, and which come to
smooth point at one end. are the only
instruments used The pointed ends Of
these little strips are dipped into the virus.
after which they are put in a rack and
left until dry, 1t is said 5000 points can
be gotten from one COW, as the animal
can be Vaccinated and the virus obtained
from half dozen places without injury
to the animal. When the points are thus
dipped and dried, they are put in small
bottles for the dealers
1t is the usual custom to vaccinate but
one person with a point. When the points
are scarce, however, two can be Vacci-
mated with one, and this is frequently done
successfully.

PLUMBERS CASE PUT OFF.

Inspector COsgrOve impatient at
Failure to Enforce Plumbing Law.
The charges against McKenna & Welsh
by Plumbing Inspector Cosgrove were not
heard in Police Court yesterday. A contin-
uance was asked on account of the alb
sence of witnesses, who are out of the city
and cannot be secured just now.
Plumbing Inspector Cosgrove is becoming
weary of attending the court for nothing,
he says.
Il placed McKenna & Welsh on the dock
ct Sept. 20, he said, "for fail
ure to furnish plans and not having re-
constructed work in two public school
buildings, inspected according to ordi-
nance. The case was to have been heard
Sept. g. but on the evening of the 22nd, l
received a message that it would not be
tried. 1 appeared at court the next docket
day, which was the 9Th, and was informed
the case had again been postponed until
Sept. 30. l was informed by McKenna &
Welsh's bookkeeper the day before, that
there would be no trial"
The Inspector requested the Recorder in
open court TO notify him when the case
was 10 be called He stated that one of
the firm who did the work was in the
city, and that employees connected with it
We're also in the city He insists the case
should be disposed of, as the work is I'M
der ground, and when inspected it will
have to be torn up. This win incommode
the schools some time, which, he said,
would NOT be the case If prompt action
was taken.
rs the case is not set for any particular
day, it is not known when 1t will be tried
Thus far the inspector has been unable
to bring the plumbing ordinance cases to
a focus which he thinks will soon have
the effect of making it Ineffective.

Monroe NewH, colored, threw his wife
from the second story window of a house
at Farm and william streets yesterday,
because she was carrying things from his
room. The woman was seriously injured,
and was taken in the police ambulance to
the Georgia Indrmary.
Newlll was arrested by Policeman Jerna-
gin and taken to the barracks, where he
was lodged on the charge Of assault with
intent to murder. He gave an account of
the affair, but it was not of the kind the
detectives like to believe. His story was
that he went into the room, where he
found his wife bundling up things which
belonged to him, preparatory to carrying
them away. He admonished her for at
tempting to steal, whereupon, he asserts,
she ran to the window and jumped pelF-

did not offer her any violence whatever.
There is not much doubt, the detectives
say, but Newill threw the woman out.
They believe he went into the room In an
