ABOUT NUMBERS
Col. Parker Talks Further
on Arithmetic.
Modes of ExpressiOn-Mrs Parker
Makes Strong Plea for Devel-
opment of Color Sense.

The Summer school opened yester
/ day morning with the singing of 'Ha
wall Fair composed by Philip Henri,
! Dodge. The song pays tribute to tn
/ beauties of the Islands and is a pIes
| for higher life. Col Parker in open
ing his morning lecture thanked the
teachers for their constant attendance
He said that it is a sad thing to see
anyone stop studying, to close his ac-
count with books OF all persons in
the world the teacher should be the
last to stop. 1t is a happy thing to see
people studying all through their lives.
Referring to numbers and their func-
tons, Col. Parker said that it was a
question whether or not numbering
should be learned without the specific
application for its use.
The remaining time of both lectures
was devoted to a discussion Of Arith-
metic Several of the teachers entered
into the discussion and expressed their
views. Some old ideas were roughly
handled by Col. Parker, especially the
familiar phraseology in division, when
the number of articles is so many
times" greater or smaller. He has a
horror for the abstract. He says he
is a teacher of children and not phil
OsOph6rs and there is scarcely a child
who can grasp the meaning Of that
times" The Colonel says he cOnsid-
ers it a compliment when people tell
him that he has upset their old theO-
ries in teaching. His belief is that a
child should be reasoned with from
the child's point of view and that
teaching is getting the child to tell
what he knows.
Mrs. Parker talked on the modes Of
expression Each mode is a necessity
in developing some part of the brain to
bring the whole being into perfect SYM
metry. Unless the nerve cells are
nourished and stimulated when the
senses of the child are first awaken
ing, atrOphy takes place. The normal
state insists upon expression. EXPIRES
sion is understood in speech but the
average human being fails to see or
understand expression and the craving
for it in the other senses. 1t is time,
she says, that one should respond in
music, color, making. Every mode
helps each other mode. Each of them
plays an important part in developing
the body. Singing, for instance, as
sists the speaking voice, it assists in
bringing into active use the side and
lung muscles, it develops the chest and
shoulders, it makes better blood by
inducing a more rapid resp ration.
And singing is but one Of the many
modes of expression. Mrs. Parker said
that every mother should insist on
plenty OF exercise for her children. She
is a firm believer in tree climbing. She
made an eloquent plea for the develop
ment of the color sense. Every trade,
every art, depends to such an extent
upon the proper understanding of form
and color that it is almost a crime not
to give the child free play Of his color
sense. The child will not be easily dis
couraged as his critical sense is de-
veIOped along with his ability to fash
ion and make.

New York Capitalists Want to Furnish
the Money.

The Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal aud
Tribune, of the 10th inst, says:
There seems to be some rivalry as to
who shall furnish the money for the
building of the Black Diamond rail-
way. 1t will be remembered that not
long while ago Sir Thomas Tancred,
the best known expert on railway engl-
neering, passed through this city MAX
ing an examination Of the survey OF
the road with view, if practicable, OF
advising that certain English syndi-
cate furnish the money with which to
build the road.
Mr.. j. B. Harrison, vice-president OF
the Black Diamond railway, received a
letter yesterday from responsible
party, which stated that the amount
necessary to construct the road would
be furnished by a New York syndicate
if so desired by the directors OF the
road. MIR. Harrison stated to q re-
porter for the Journal and Tribune
that he was not at liberty to give the
name of the writer of the letter but
that he was assured that the informa-
ton was straight.
Mr.. Harrison stated further that 1t
was his belief that the money would
not be accepted as negotiations were
now pending with the syndicate which
was represented by Sir Thomas Tan
cred. He said that in his opinion the
money for building the road would be
furnished by the English syndicate at
an early day and that the New York
parties who desired to furnish the
money were only taking advantage OF
the report which they contemplated
Sir Thomas Tancred would make when
he returned to England. Mr.. Harrison
said he did not doubt that the New
York people stood ready and willing
to furnish the money but that the Eng
lish people stood first in the deal and
that after they had say, and II they
did not care to furnish the collateral
for the building of the road the New
York people would have Il chance.

and humanity
No sooner had President Mckinley
concluded than there were loud cries
for Wheeler. and when that little man
got up. his head scarcely higher than
the Speakers desk. the audience once
more gave vent to wild enthusiasm
Gen. Wheeler referred culogistically
TO the efforts of the President towards
preserving peace as long as the coun-
tr, S honor would permit such efforts
and of his mastcrful policy after wal
was inevitable. Gen. Wheeler paid
tribute to Admiral Dewey, and added
..The army, in conjunction with the
navy, was ordered to attack and dc
stroy the Spanish forces ut Santiago
In four weeks that order was obeyed
and it's purposes accomplished. Tho
proud Spanish nation stood suing fol
peacc from the nation which, a month
before, it had held up to ridicule and
scorn.''
Calls for Brig. Gen. Young brought
that officer to his feet with Il short
speech regarding the conditions of the
army camps in the South. He said
that no troops in the world were better,
more regally fed and treated than were
the troops in South Carolina and GeOr-
sia. Gen. Lawton was loudly cheercd
for, but refused to make a speech. He
simply thanked, on behalf of his men
at Santiago. the Legislature and the
people of Georgia for their tribute to
himself. Secretary Alger refused to
sneak and the Legislature dissolved.
The President held a private recep-
tion in the Senate and afterward Il
public reception on the steps Of the
rotunda. There hundreds of Southern
ers crushed and jOstled each other IN
their anxiety to shake Il Northern Pres
ident's hand. Many had come from
miles distant, and when, at 2:15 p. NJ,
the President left the Capitol there
we're still hundreds bitterly disap-
pointed because they had not been able
to make their way through the surgine
throng to get a seconds hold of his
hand.
The days festivities included a
unique floral parade, which was re-
viewed by the President, and reccp-
ton tonight to the distinguished
guests at the Capital City Club.
To-nighL the members of the Capital
City Club opened their club house te
the President and Mrs. Mckinley and
the guests of the city. The occasion
was notably brilliant. The receiving
party consisted of number Of Allan
ta's representative women and large
company of club members. The deco
rations were flags, American smilaA
and American Beauty roses.

A cannon ball sweeping on in its deadly
mission. missing him by hairs breadth,
carries with it the head of Gen. Garesche,
his chief of staff. But his courage is un-
daunted. his spirit unconquered. He
breathes upon the soldiers the inspiration
of his own magnetic personality. Now color
comes back to the blanched cheeks cour-
age to the fainting hearts and strength to
the trembling knees. Banners float in the
air; flags move to the front; dead men seem
to be alive again, and all rush onward,
snatching victory from defeat and glory
from dishonor. Oh, my comrades, the
scenes of today are in harmony with this
warriors life. The bugle cali, the shrill
fife. the muffled drum, the salute to the
dead, the SCARED veterans, the flying flag
are fitting here. No sooner had the smoke
Of battle lifted and the echo of cannon died

It was soldiers funeral in the trusst

nave been pageants more extensive and
imposing in the larger cities when the 9TH
er great union generals were laid to rest
under "the low green tents, whose curtains
never outward swing" but neverwas there
one more simply beautiful. more tender and
sympathetic than was that of Major Gen
eral W. 8. Rosecrans. The rapidly dimin-
ishing ranks of themen, in their advanced
years, taking leave of the last of their old
commanders gave more than an ordinary
touch Of pathos to the every day story OF
death. 1t was in no small measure per-
sonal loss to each one of the hundreds OF
the old boys in blue who gazed for the last
time at the once familiar features and
gathered around the bier at the final serv-
ice at the cemetery.

brate the requiem mass.
