GRAMMAR SCHOOL
IN DRENNEN PARK
PRESIDENT EDUCATION BOARD
FAVORS SELLING PAUL HAYNE
SCHOOL AND APPLYING PRO-
cEEDS TO NEW BUILDING.

Mayor Drennen, the president of the
Board of Education, favors the sale of
Paul Hayne school
This was announced at the meeting of
the school board held yesterday morning
in its rooms on the fourth floor of the
city hall.
The proposition of the Mayor is to sell
the buildings and the property located
on the southeast corner of Avenue e and
Twentieth street, and with the proceeds
build a handsome elementary school in
Drennen park on the South Highlands.
The Paul Hayne school cost something
like s65, 900 and the pro aerty upon which it
is located is quite valuable. President
Drennen contends that inasmuch as the
present building faces the Belt railroad
ad the street car lines that the lives OF
the one thousand or more students who
attend is in jeopardy.
The following is the proposition sub
mitted by President Drennen:
The Board CT Education has in the
bank $4,000 with which to build two ele-
mentary schools, one to be located in
the Fourth ward, and the other located
in Bremen park olive Poins), the cost
of each building to be approximately
s25, 900.
'The Paul Hayne school, located on
a lot fronting 100 feet on Twentieth street,
and running back 100 feet, on Avenue e,
is not at all we'll located for the purpose
for which it is used This property
fronting on Avenue e, fronts the Belt
railway, with double tracks, and on
Twentieth street the treet railway with
double tracks, which necessarily endan-
gers the lives of the children who at
tend this school.
Before aking for plans and specifica-
tions for the school to be located in
Drennen park I submit for your cons.d-
Grafton the feasibility and advisabilty of
disposing of the Paul Hayne building
and lot with the exception of the furni-
ture and adding the proceeds of the
sale to the fund that is now in the bank
for the purpose of building an elementary
school in Drennen park.
The special committee appointed to Sc
lect a site for the Drennen park school
at Five Points reported that it had de-
cided upon that section of the park,
which belongs to the city of Birming-
ham, in the northwest corner as the
site. The special committee was COM
posed of Henry B. Gray, Ell p. Smith and
James J. Smith.
The special committee appointed to
select a site for the new grammar school
In the Fourth ward. reported that as
yet 1t had been unable to reach def
mite conclusion. This special committee
is composed of President Drennen, b. A.
Thompson and James J, Smith.
A resolution was adopted asking the
city council to appropriate the sum OF
$4,000 to the Board OF Education for sal
aries for teachers and other current ex-
penses.

There. Large Crowds, Excellent
Preaching.

For twelve years past the people OF
this entire region, and numbers from the
cities, have looked forward with joyful
anticipation to the opening Of the camp
meetings at Wharton Grove, a beautiful
group of oaks situated on an elevation
on the Corrotoman river.
These meetings have always been well
attended, but the meeting which closed
on Sunday night surpassed in point Of
numbers any previous assemblage in the
history of the camp. The weather was
ideal, an invigorsting breeze from the
Rappahannock and Corrotoman rivers
swept over the grounds. which were a
scene of seething, squirmlug humanity
from the tot to the octogenarian. The
river about the wharf was thickly dotted
with water craft of various dimensions;
the steamer Mobjack brought a large
crowd from Norfolk; the spacious
grounds just outside OF the enclosure
were packed with vehicles from the
surrounding section-all OF which emp
tied their human fret. bit into Wharton
Grove swelling the crowd approximately
TO about 1000 souls This was on Sun
day last. The attendance during the
entire week was good, and DR.. H. NJ.
Wharton said il was the most successful
meeting ever held at Wharton Grove
Good order prevailed throughout the
week, and the immense throng of people
were fed without stint or lack of comfort
The hotel and other places rendered
good service and the wharf owners were
kept busy passing out tickets to the
visitors.
The Rev. Madison &. Peters, of Phila-
delphis, q minister of wide reputation,

Publication Society, lectured Saturday
night on The Chapel Car" He ex-
planned in detail the workings Of this
institution.
The preaching was of superior order
len ministers being present DIR. II
NJ. Wharton did large portion of the
pr' aching, and his eloquence and ability
held the closest attenti' of the vast
crowd. Much Interest was snilested,
especially "u the last day of the meet
ing, and II is hoped add believed that
great good has be, n done for the Masters
cause
A feature of the meeting was the sing
ing by Dir Davies, of Wales, who sung in
one of Mr.. MoodJ's meetings az which
thousands were added to the church.
The closing services in Sunday night
was very affecting and inspiring. But
the time had come to say goodbye And

held at Wharton Grove had come to its
close
