Gets housing Reception.
Mr. Roosevelt never got a more rousing
reception than the boys of Miss Martha
Berry's school gave him at Rome to-day
II is doubtful if the colonel ever spoke
more earnestly or sincerely upon any sub
ject than the one he treated at Rome.
He absorbed the whole-hearted spirit of
the place He acted just as he darn
pleased.
Early this morning. before he had
arisen, 1900 natives of the town of Dali

speech from Mr.. Roosevelt. When he
failed 10 appear a citizen threatened to

ern school,
Col Roosevelt was particularly inter-
ested in this visit. for he had acted as
something of a sponsor for the school
ever since Miss Berry started it in a log
cabin eight years ago. He has been in
hearty sympathy with the nne work that
this Southern woman has carried on in
educating the boys and girls of the rural
districts and the mountains, and, be-

Bullock. was a Georgian, and that made
him all the more eager to aid in the
progress Of the school.
They carried him right up 20 the
big classroom on the second floor of
the main building. He sat on the plat

and girls file in to the tune of Ken
