Advertiser Bureau,


 The amount of money. necessary for the bringing of the encampment or the 2nd Infantry Regiment, Alabama National Guard, here for their regular practice camp has been subscribed. The work of raising this amount, $1,2oo, , was accomplished by a committee with , little difficulty as all of the people and business concerns are anxious for the encampment to come to Selma.
 whether Colonel Bricken of the 2nd regiment, will order the companies of the regiment to go into camp at Elk dale Park will hardly be known for several days. Elkdale Park is proba- bIy one of the best camping grounds in the state and soldiers of tue 2nd Regiment fell in love with the place last summer.
 1t was at one time hoped this sum- mer that the encampment of the cav airy squadron would also be brought to this city. This hope has about been abandoned and it is believed that the cavalry will hold their camp in Mont gomery.

tuition of the kind established in the South wholly

In 1866 at the old first church on Chauncey-st.,
Boston, the first vacation school, in this coun-
try started. Like the more ambitious Junior
Republic and the public Fairgrounds, it an at
of the streets by giving them something wholesome
to do. There hundreds of vacation schools
in the country. Everywhere they have helped to
introduce and better methods into the regular
school program. Manual training, gymnastics and
games, sewing and basketry, sand tables, all had
their first inception in the vacation school.
In New York this year eleven school roofs are
furnished with brass bands, and here under charge
of a teacher, many two thousand young people
have shared in the dancing in a single evening.

Side Lights on the General
SHERMAN did better; the story of the part his
~ brigade took n this engagement gives some
important side lights upon his character Sherman
was listening and watching by that Bull Run
'stone bridge" previously destroyed on the pike
He got glimpse about ten O'Clock Am. of Confed-
rapidly moving off to the right lust to their
rear more, quite force of them. He made
Ayers battery open fire upon them; but the smooth
bore guns could not reach that far. Waiting, under
Tylers check, like restless horse, at last he was
permitted to go over Bull Run
He ready. He had long since caught sight of
a Confederate horseman crossing the deep, ugly
run. He quickly took his brigade to that point,
and his men waded the stream without disaster.
He led them and up the right bank until he
struck our advance No regiments the field
fought bravey persistently than his, and
always the brave and active leader IN the van
He placed his regiments one after another IN the
best chosen places. He rallied them when they gave
way and remained with them while the bullets of
concealed foes from the thlckets in his front were
cutting them to pieces and the air hot with
bursting shells.
Hunters and Hentzelman's divisions had grad
ually faded away not much from the force OF
the opposition, as for the want OF conference IN
themselves. Sherman's was the last, excepting my
own brigade, to break up. Mine, as has been seen,
had come on the field little later. Could Sherman S
brigade and my have been united just there
early in the conflict where Rckett battery perished
the results would have been different. Many and
many were the battles lost in the from
the of simultaneous action on the part of our
different organizations. l shall not attempt to
give details of the retreat, mostly dlsorderly rout
Sherman appeared the next day at noon with
the majority of his men at this old camp at Fort
Cochran. He had lost several officers among them
two regimental commanders, and many men in the
battle Those most panic stricken never halted
until they arrived at the camp from which they had
marched out SO bright and happy few days before:
Sherman found not only his men, but hosts Of
others, crossing the bridges into Washington. He
placed strong guards at the long bridge and at the

experience in child life, and so through right playing
he learns right living.
On the last day was held the Play and Sport Fes-
tval at of the big playground fields, at Ogden
Park
The purpose of the festival was to demonstrate
many forms of play and recreation, and to serve
as an inspiration to similar festivals. Not the
least significant feature of the program the folk
dancing by immigrants in costume. 1t was great
democratic festival of the people young and S DID,
wegians, Bohemians, and Americans, all making
merry together
The executive committee has decided to hold the
annual meeting in New York next year. Chicago is
planning to have such festival every year, follow
ing the like custom in Germany.

aqueduct in Georgetown to prevent such deser-
tons and soon had his command under better
discipline and drill than that of any other officer
So much this the that the President heard
of Colonel Sherman tremendous energy and success.
The First Mutiny
0NE of Sherman regiments claimed the right to
~ be mustered out because it had served its three
months term from the date of its first coming into
camp. The Government decided however, that
the regiments time not out until three months
from its formal muster into the service of the United
States One of the officers angrlly disputed this de-
cision and, meeting Colonel Sherman, declared his
intention of going straight home. He told Sherman
that his business suffering and that it was his
right and his duty to return to New York Sherman
repeated the Governments decision in the premises.
The officer dehed him Sherman then told him that
if he persisted he would have him shot he would
dog The officer in terror yielded to this relentless
injunction and went back to camp.
1t little later that Mr.. Lincoln and several
friends to the Virginia side in a carriage,
and went from regiment to regiment of Sherman's
brigade. The Colonel riding with him. Presi-
dent Lincoln asked to say few words to each
different addresses He spoke kindly, congratuatng
the upon their fine appearance and their
good conduct in the late campaign and battle.
They about to cheer him; but Lincoln
toned them not to do So Colonel Sherman says,
Cheering is not military. Lincoln intimated
that if any of them had grievance he would be
glad to hear him, and would act as far as he could
for his relief.
Upon this, that same mutinous officer called
after his carriage just as it was starting back from
the camp, Mr. Lincoln, Colonel Sherman says
that if do not do and SO, he will have shot
like dog" Mr.. Lincoln, leaning from the side of
the carriage, when the officer had come near, said
in a sort of stage Whisper l know Colonel Sherman
well, and l think he would do it, General Sher-
in his memoirs gives this story himself, little
in detail. That the time when Mr.. Lin
coin humorously settled the question of the term
of service and sustained Shermans discipline
l remember that l had similar case of mutny
though the reasons alleged were not SO plausible as
those of Shermans men. One of my regiments

twenty years ago woman wrote a
letter to some one in Boston about
the Berlin Fairgrounds, and Boston
put three heaps of sand on the Boston
Common in which the children of the
tenements might play. Those three
sand piles have since spread into play
grounds from San Francisco to New
York, from Minneapolis to New Or
leans. They have grown into gardens
and athletic fields, into gymnasiums
and swimming pools, and have be-
come in many places regular part of
the'city administration. At present
Boston spends two hundred thousand
dollars year upon Fairgrounds for
its children.
One of the most important events
which have ever taken place for the
children of this country was the first
meeting of the Playground Association
of America, held in Chicago during
the last week of June. Chicago was
chosen because it has the best play
grounds in the world, which, with the
athletic fields, gymnasiums, and
swimming pools, are said by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to be "one of the
most notable achievements of any
American city,
Two great pleas for the playground
repeated by all the speakers were that
by giving the opportunity for healthy
recreation it helped to keep children
from moral and physical evils, and
that it developed good qualities of
citizenship. Play is the most intense

THE art of teaching morals, which
i began, one may say, with Soc
rates, and has made little progress
since, has in recent times been made
the subject of some interesting and
on the whole successful experiments.
The George Junior Republic,
founded by William George on July
10, 1896, is one of these. Its purpose
is to instil habits of thrift, obedience
to law, of self reliance, self control,
good citizenship, and religion, in their
broadcast sense into the lives of boys
and girls"
In Social Progress" edited by
Josiah Strong, for 1905, Esther B.
George describes the Junior Republic:
1t is no more or less than any
little village in the State of New
York. The young people buy and
sell, have little or much according to
their earnings, live in homes or hotels,
live under and enforce the laws of
New York State plus a few special
ones of their own, have their own
system of civil and criminal courts, a
jail, police, bank, store, school, shops,
paper, church, etc, just the same as
in the big Republic. The only essen
tial difference between the village
and any other in the township is
the fact that the inhabitants thereof
become voting citizens at the age of
fourteen instead of twenty-one The
association owns or controls at present
little over three hundred acres of
land, with about thirty buildings"

hasty in its retreat that it lost all its knapsacks
including blankets Several enlisted men rushed
upon three four days after the battle. 1t was
organized mutiny. They cried, I'VE going
home Our officers are good for nothing; we have
to sleep under; our food is bad, not fit for
the pigs; won't serve the Government which
doesn't keep faith with its sodiersl" did not have
Mr. Lncolns visit and choice words to help me out;
but except for the sudden arrest of the indictments
and few days under guard, did not proceed to
extreme measures. In fact, the men became sub
missive as soon as they had received new blankets
clothing, and good food. Sherman gave these also
to his dissatisfied and inexperienced men.
When Promotion Came
SHERMAN and Robert Anderson of Sumter fame
~ among the first to become Brigadier Cen
erals of volunteers. SherrnanS commission was
dated August 10, 1861.
General Anderson, who later to command
what eventually became the Army of the Cumber-
land, earnestly requested for his division command
ers Sherman and Thomas. There was some hesta-
ton on Mr.. Lincoln S part in promoting Thomas and
Anderson and Sherman went together to the White
House to interview the President about the matter
Rumors to Mr.. Lincoln's that Thomas
had at time taught Southern military school
and had sympathized with Jefferson Davis, when
Cavalry along with Joseph E. Johnston and Robert
E. Lee. Mr. Lincoln frankly told this to Anderson
and Sherman. Robert Anderson himself Southern
Thomas is loyal! will vouch for his loyalty with my
life!' Sherman was equally sympathetic "Old Tom
disoyal to the government! Absurd-absurdl He
Heeel uleW d uisloydl pIedtH SlllCe TIC was DOTH
Anderson's petition was granted, so that for time
he had Thomas and Sherman to sustain him in his
onerous task of gathering volunteers from the West
and shaping them into army to watch along
the Ohio River and be ready to meet the secession
forces when they came, to prevent the swarming
of our foes of Kentucky from Covington to Paducah
from Louisville to Nashville. 1t was great and
difficult task that General Anderson undertook,
and it was not long before he was broken down and
too i'll to bear the burden of such anxious and
unremittng labor. He transferred the command,
will be in a later article, to Sherman.
