ANNUAL MEETING
 OF KINDERGARTEN Reports for the Year Were Sub-
 mitted Yesterday CONDITIONS ARE GOOD Past Year Has Been Most Successful In History of the Association and
 Prospects Are Bright for
 the Future.
CONDITIONS ARE GOOD

The annual meeting of the Birmingham Free Kindergarten association was held yesterday and reports for the past year were submitted. Following is the report of the president, Mrs. J. H. Phillips:
 To the Board of Directors and Members
 of the Birmingham Free Kindergarten
 Associations:
 In presenting this the eighth annual report of the Birmingham Free Kinder garten association, I shall ask your per- mission to give a brief review of the history of its organization and growth, as well as summary of conditions pre- vailing in the several departments of the work during the past year.
 In the early winter of 1898 a small as- semblage of Birmingham citizens gather ed at the Commercial club to discuss the advisability of organizing a free kinder garten association. The first suggestion to introduce kindergartens as aids In the philanthropic work of our city emanated from the United Charities, the oldest ben evolent organization in Birmingham. The result was the organization of separate association which has come to be known, not only in BiSningham but throughout and even beyond the borders of the state as the Birmingham Free Kindergarten as- sociation4
 On January ?. 1899. the first fSee kin dergarten of our association was opened in the Paul Hayne school. This location was distinct advantage as it conveyed to the public at once the fact that kinder garten work was sanctioned by the Board of Education. an advantage many similar associations have had to work years to gain. Ninety-six children were enrolled during the five months that constituted the first year.s experiment-a year when real knowledge of Kindergarten work, either from the standpoint of education or philanthropy, was limited and a general sentiment for it had to be created
 Three months later a Kindergarten was opened in the Mercy Home chiefly. for the benefit of the little ones in the home, but to which a limited number of out siders was admitted. This was supported by subscriptions solicited by the Jewish Women's Council. and fifty-one children were admitted. Within five months of Its organization the association had estab- lfshed two kindergartens with an enroll ment of 147 children. This was a hopeful beginning. and I believe the superintend- ent's report will show that the promise of extension and growth has been fairly well realized. comparative statement inserted here may give more convincing evidence of the material growth of our work.

Negro Editors Tribute.

The following observations by the
Chicago "Conservator," one of the
most widely circulated organs of the
colored race, anent the action of the
Archbishops in the matter of the es-
Establishment of Negro bureau similar
to the Indian Bureau, constitutes a re-
markable tribute to the Catholic
Church and give promise of the great
fruits that will result from the
Church's work among the Negroes
when it is better organized:
I'VE do not know the nature OF the
work this proposed bureau contem-
plates doing. as we are not familiar
with the sort of work these Christian
people are doing for the Indians
through Il like bureau: but our conf
dence in the leaders of that great
Church and it's lifelong attitude to-
ward mankind generally is such as to
impress us that it means an effort

Mrs. Meagher, who died on July 9Th.

a daughter of the Hon. Peter Town

quainted with General Meagher soon
after his escape from the penal settle

which English law" had exiled him
after the abortive Irish rebellion of

death for high treason. but the sem

at the betterment of the Negro with
out robbing him of his manhood rights
and curtailing his privileges and OPP
portunities as a race.
The Catholics, which too many
ignorant, unlettered preachers teach
the Negro masses are not truly Chris
tian people, have always proved them
selves among the best friends the
Negro haS-whether in the North or
in the Southland in our humble opin-
ion this Church actually demonstrates
and practices more real Christianity
and brotherly love toward all men
everywhere than all the big Protestant
denominations put together.
There never was a sweeter, bigger
hearted Christian-like man that lived
than Leo MIL, who just before His
Holiness death, telegraphed President
Roosevelt thanking and blessing him
for his noble stand toward the Negro.
Americans when the president was
fighting for DR.. Crum against Southern
race prejudice. We revere the great
mans memory and love all good. pure
Catholics for their general goodness
toward the children of men.
The average Negro. in these trying
times of blind, unreasonable race
prejudice, should know more of the
great heart of these unselish, devoted
Christian people. To know them and
would be but to love and respect
them"
