GARNETT SCHOOL ITEMS.

The children In the primary grade
are, just now, very much interested
IN the awakening of nature. The
spring affords rich opportunity to
impress the children with the beau
ty Of the outdoor world. The study
Of birds from twigs and the awaken
ing Of the grass are proving very fas-
cinating. The new spring songs,
games and stories are adding much
to the animation and enthusiasm.
The children have been especially
interested this winter in the manual
training work. Superintendent
Laidley has furnished considerable
material for manual training and
kindergarten work, which, beside
being source of delight, has taught
them to use their hands. Since the
holidays art work has been changed
from pencil to brush with water COL
OrS.
Mr.. A. w. Croft. supervisor Of
drawing of the city schools, plans
the work Of the grade, and the sim
pie little designs the little ones are
able to make are source of pride,
both to them and their parents.
Miss Stella James, the substitute
teacher, assists with the work Of the
primary grade in the afternoon
which makes a more rapid advance
ment possible.
Pupils Of the grade neither absent
nor tardy for the month Of Februa-
ry:
James Burks, Wiley Furgett,
Catherine Scott, Clara Board, Louise
Wade, Chas. Shoats, Jack McGGe,
Maceo Colberts, Augustus Shoats, Al

The G.. H. S. literary society had a

sion, Friday afternoon. The discus
sions were led by the following:
NaOla Farrar, Lillian Byrd, Hazel
Lucas, ReDecca Green, Irene Mccoy,
Edward Fulks, Joseph Bowles, Ed
ward james, Roy James, and Pres

sion a ninteretsing talk on MARS
Compared With Other Planets" was
delivered by the Principal, j. F. ].
Clark The society was then given
treat in the form of an deliberately
prepared budget by Irene Mccoy.
Prof. Byrd Prillerman, Of Insti-
tute,- spent Friday at Garnet school.
He visited each room and was both
entertaining and instructive in his
remarks to the children Of various
grades. His talk on the subject Of
rheoric was especially helpful to the
members Of the sophomore class. In
addressing the high school, he told
Of his great interest in the school,
from the fact that he was at one time
member of it's faculty, and he
spoke in the highest terms Of the
work that is now being done. He
admired very much the material i'm
provements which have taken place
In the building during his absence,
and expressed his satisfaction that
the students themselves are keeping
pace, in mental development, with
the external improvements which
have been made.
Both teachers and students enjoy
ed the visit of Prof. Prillerman, and
felt honored to have him as their
guest

race In DR.. .N2wsome and his CO.
workers.
Shares are held at IS, but an ex-
traordinary effort is being made by
the directors to have the colored Deo-
pie everywhere to invest one dollar
at once, in order to push on the work
OF construction and this will be
deemed and receipted for as 20
per cent. payment on one share. The
fair, built on the elaborate scale pro-
posed, Will cost in the neighborhOOd
OF $1,OOO,000, and the much-neaded
$25O,0OO can he secured within the
next few weeks, if the pub
lic-spirited Negroes of the ma
ton will subscribe for from
S to IS worth Of stock. DR.. New
some is urging every Negro who is
interested in the advancement Of the
race to invest at least 81 at once, as
he feels that the vast enterprise I'M
der way stands for unlimited posi-
bilities for the future. Assurance is
given that no loss is possible, as the
officers are fully bonded, and are lc-
gally responsible.
According to testimony before the
congressional committee, this Ma
tiOnal Negro fair is to be a perma-
nent institution, to open in Novem-
Der and December Of each year, with
exhibits from every state and terri
tory, and will be under an exclusive
lY Negro management. DR.. Fl. N.
NewsOme, the president and general
manager, with Offices at 555 1-2 Dau-
phin street, Mobile, Alabama, is pas
tor Of the Metropolitan A. NJ. &C.
church of that city, man Of high
character and thorough reliability,
and one OF the most prominent di-
vines in the country. He is recon-
mended by the bench Of bishops and
best elements Of the race, north,
east, west and south. The designing
architect, who has planned the IL
commodious departmental buildings,
is Mr.. R. r. Taylor, director of in
dustries at THskegee institute. The
| supervising architect and construct
ing engineer is Mr.. John A. Lark
ford, Of Washington, D. c., where
branch offices have been established
at 317 9th street, n. w., from
which point Information will be fur
nished to the people of the north
and east. Mr. A. H. Jackson is Sec
retary+ Prof. J.. C. Banks. formerly
of Tuskegee institute, is correspond
ing secretary, and Messrs. G. w.

urers.
DR.. NcWsOme says the sale Of
stock and the construction Of the
, buildings will be pushed with vigor,
and when the announcement Of the
opening is made, he will guarantee
! the race that at Mobile it will have
the very best showing Of Negro
achievement that has ever been pre-
sented to mortal vision. We shall
keep track Of the development Of this
stupendous enterprise and acquaint
the public with it's progress from
