proposed lectures in the fall course of free
lectures to the people, for which an APP

of lectures, one to begin October II, in three
centers-the Jefferson School hall, the M
Street High School and Zion Baptist
Church, F street between Sd and 4th

be arranged to begin after the 1st of jan

nearly all of the lectures SO far arranged
will be illustrated by lantern ides.
