REPUPLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Louisville, June 2S.-Laura Talbot Gait,
a 13-year- old school girl, has created q SEN
sation in Louisville and set the town to
talking by her refusal not only to sing
Marching Through Georgia. but to hear
1t sung by her classmates. AS a re-
suit OF her breach Of discipline her pas
sage to the High School Is endangered.
The matter has been taken up by friends
and will be aired at the next meeting of the
Board of School Trustees. Confederate
veterans and the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy have been aroused, and already the
agitation has resulted in the possibility OF
the reopentng Of the fight against teachlhS
Civil War history in the public schools be-
cause of the alleged unfairness of the So
called popular histories.
THE Little Rebel," Laura Talbot Gait,

and unreconstructed member of the Al

in escaping in q yacht after he had sur

Miss Aliens Statement.
Miss Allen made the following statement
of the case:
we are studying the history of the Civil
War. and when any national or Southern
air comes up that the children want TO sing
/ let them sing it. one morning they asked
TO sing Marching Through Georgia l
gave them my permission, but the little
Calf girl refused to sing. 1 did not insist
upon her singing but I noticed that she put
her fingers in her ears. This l considered
irnpertinent to me, and called her to me at
recess and reprlmanded her privately. The
next day 1 received a letter from her
grandmother, who is an unrecOnstructed
rebel. took no notice of the letter.
THE truth of the Semmes story is that
1 asked the children to write an exercise
about the battle between the Kearsarge and
the Alabama, and asked them to say wheth-
er they thought Admiral Semmes had acted
honorably in escaping in the. yacht after
surrendering. The children thought not.
The Gait child refused to write Instead

In all her studies other than Civil War
history Miss Gait has an excellent record.
She is bright in the extreme and far in ad,

Miss Gait is much worried over the COM

ture:
'twhen we got down to Marshall Hall the
