Last night at the Ryman Auditori-
ligent and very appreciative audience
twenty-five graduates from the Pearl
High School Of this city received their
diplomas. 1t was at the annual Com
mencement of the school which is the
Alma Mater of no small number OF
Nashvilles energetic citizens, hence
these commencement exercises attract
a larger attention than any other like
exercises from the vast number OF ed
ucational institutions in and about
the city of Nashville. Again the Ry-
man Auditorium, better known as the
spel-Tabernacle, Is itself a spacious
meeting place calculated to give COM
Portable entertainment to a large au-
dience in summer or winter. The
high school alumni numbering as 1t
does several hundred, take a deal OF
interest in all that pertains to the
school, and thus the Pearl High
School Commencement is on the lips
of thousands Of people several months
before the closing Of the school. The
commencement this year marked the
successful ending, or, in other words
the first year of manual training and
domestic science in all of the schools
Much has been said about this new
department Of the city schools, bu'
it has never been doubted that it was
long-felt want, and that the city o.

children, and hosts of loving parents
were in hearty sympathy with any

The fourth annual session of the
National Baptist Sunday-School Con-
gress and B. Y. P. U. Chautauqua as
sembled at 10:30 o'clock in the Mt.
Olive Baptist Church, Rev. G. H.
Clark, D. D., pastor.
Preceding the opening Of the Con-
gress, Rev DR.. Boyd took occasion to
speak of the tablets and pencils fur
nished by the Publishing Board and
urged all present to provide them
selves with them, as tnis is Chau-
tauqua assembled to study methods
for the betterment of our Sunday
schools. Use these, take notes,
carry the information back to your
schools and help the people.
Rev. G. H. Clark called the meet
ing to order and thanked those pres
ent for their presence and expressed
the hope that this would be the best
session in the history Of the Con-
gress.
Rev. N. Fl. Plus, D. D., the musical
director, announced that the first
number to be sung was "All Hail the
Power OF Jesus Name" The con.
gregation joined heartily in the sing,
ing of this opening number. Chair.
man Clark took peculiar pleasure,
said he, in introducing the Rev. ]. 3
Thomas, D. D., of Chicago, to con-
duct the devotions. Dr. Thomas was
present four years ago at the organi-
zation of this Congress and served In
the same capacity. Though modest,
unassuming, yet dignified in all his
bearing, no man in all this country
had done more for the cause than Dr.
Thomas. He has baptized more than
1000 persons during his ministry and
stands as a giant for the denomina
tion in his city, Chicago. The 91st
Psalm was read by Dr. Thomas as the
Scripture lesson. Prayer was offered
by the Rev. DR.. Taylor, of Louisiana
"How sweet the name of Jesus
sounds" was sung, beng led by DR.
Plus and the choir.
Chairman Clark in a few words
rendered his church to the use of the
Congress and introduced Dr. ]. P
Robinson, of Little Rock, to preside
at the morning session. DR.. Robinson
in taking charge thanked the pas
tor in behalf of the Congress for the
use of this beautiful house of God
paid a glowing tribute to the work o.
DR.. Clark as pastor of this church ant
concluded by calling to the rostrun
DR.. e. G. Morris, President Of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention, who wat
asked to respond further in behalf O
the Congress.
DR.. Morris came forward amidst ap
plause and congratulated the pro
moter, DR.. Boyd, on the work that thi
Congress has accomplished. Th
principles of Christianity will ye
rule in this great nation Of ours
Everything points to the bettermen
of our condition and to the general up
lift of my people. I believe tha
many of the problems which we dis
cuss and try to solve belong to tn
God of the universe and II left t
him, he will solve to the satisfaction
of all the people of this world.
He congratulated the Congress o.
the work it is doing, saying that IN
other organization among us can an
will do this work. Thirty-fve year

their children. 1t was several years
ago that the statement was made that
much more improvement should be
made in the city schools by the Board
of Education for Negro children as
the Negroes themselves are always in
hearty accord and sympathy with ed
ucational improvements. From time to
time they have not only shown a dis
position to pay increased taxes in city,
county and state, but they have taxed
themselves to support these institu-
tions. The High Schools lend inspi-
ration to increased educational activi-
ties. The entire faculty, consisting of
Prof. F. G. Smith, Principal; G. e.
Washington, Professor Of Mathematics;
H. A. Cameron, Professor of Science;
Miss L. T. Jackson, Professor Of La
tin; and Miss E. j. Terry, Professor
Of History, has worked assiduously
the result of which was seen last eve
ming to the general satisfaction of all.
There was quite a number OF visitors
in the audience from many sections
of the United States attracted by the
! Sunday-school Congress, who likewise
saw what Nashville could do and what
she is doing for her young men and
women in the public school. These
twenty-five young people, starting out
under such bright auspices, inspired
the people as never before.
From the opening chorus, "Over the
/ Meadows Fair" mixed voices, there
/ was a. continuous and prolonged ap
plause after each rendition so perfect
were they and so we'll received or

invocation The next was duet, "TwC
Pearls Of Love" (Pinsuti), Miss &c
neva NJ. Bender and Miss Florence M
Allison. The valedictory address
"Are We Willing to Pay the Price%
was delivered by Braxton R. Murrell
Then came the Glee Club Of the Pear
High School which rendered severa
pleasing selections. The Commence
ment itself has proved a valuable ad
iunct to the city's educational inter
ests. The diplomas were presented b!

The welcome address on behalf Of
the citizens was delivered by Rev.
Preston Taylor. On behalf of the le-
gal profession w A. Crosthwaite

more salutary influence in COM
munity than the minister, thus a
great responsibility is falling upon
him. Have faith in your race, faith
in your country and faith in Cod"
Prot. J. I, Watson made the address
or welcome In behalf Of the teachers
and stated that the Negro physician
was large factor In helping to uplift

profession.

again reconvened at p. m. for busi-
ness.
On Thursday night a banquet was
given to the visiting delegates at Odd
Fellows Hall. The affair was con.
Quoted on high plane, and reflected
credit on the medical profession OF
this city.
The association consists of mem
bers OF the medical profession from
all parts Of the State. Between thir
ty and forty delegates were present al
the meeting, and their discussions
showed that the Negro doctors Of
Tennessee are alive to the needs o.
the people. Several of the largest
cities in the State were bidding fol
