In the presence of one of the larg-
est audiences that has ever assembled
in the Ryman Auditorium the clos
ing exercises of Pearl High School
Thursday night completed another
years work of the public schools Of
this city. Promptly at eight o'clock
the class of thirty boys and girls
marched down the central aisle to the
strains of beautiful march played
by Miss Eva Murrell. The members
of the graduating class entered upon
the platform and were seated in or
der The illness of Prof. F. G. Smith,
who has been principal of the school
for fifteen years, prevented his be-
ing present at the exercises, which
was a source of deep regret to the
pupils and all interested in the Pearl
school, Instead, DR.. J. P. Crawford,
supervisor for the colored schools of
the city, presided. A very attractive
program of music and addresses had
been arranged for the occasion.
The first number on program was
the opening chorus, Away to the
& Woods" Geibel mixed voices. Then
the salutatory address, "Man is His
Own Architect" Brady Herbert
Jones. He handled his subject admi.
rably and received hearty applause
"Say, I've Got a Little Brother" by
Krdtz, was beautifully rendered by
the Pearl High School Glee Club o1
male voices. The valedictory ad
dress, useful Citizenship" by Ernest
Charles Martin, was a masterpiece
He went right into the facts and pre-
sented his subject in a way tina
would be commendable of a man O.

GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD OF
NEW YORK MAKES CONDl-
TlONAL GIFT $1,000 TO
LANE COLLEGE.

jackson, Tenn, June 14.-Special
to the Globe AT the close of the
commencement exercises of Lane Col
lege this year President ]. F. Lane
announced amidst much applause a
conditional gift of $1,000 to Lane Col
lege by the General Education Board
of New York. 1t was not known then
what the exact conditions upon which
this money was given were; since
that time the President has been of
flcially informed, and full under
standing is now had. The donation
is by far the largest one ever made
to the college by persons other than
the G. M. e. Church, and comes large
ly through THE earnest efforts of the
President, ably supplemented by that
of Dr. J. w. Gilbert, of Augusta, Ga.
Regarding this matter, President
Lane had this to say:
Lane College greatly needs anoth-
Ter boys hall. The present dormito-
ry for the boys accommodates less
than one-half the young men who
come each year to attend this col
| lege. and it is in behalf of this build
! ing that the gift from the General
Education Board is made. To con-
struct hall in keeping with the
other splendid buildings on the
grounds, and one having a capacity
to accommodate the school, will cost
fully $4,000. Toward raising this
amount, the General Education
Board contributes $1,000, leaving
$4,000 to be raised by the Trustees
and friends of the college. Of course
this condition will be met prompt
ly, and the building will go up"
The college has just closed a mos
successful session, and the Trustees
and friends are jubilant over th'
prospects for a new hall on tn
grounds which has become a real ne
cessity in recent years.

SUMMER SCHOOL.

The colored summer schools will he
conducted at Knowles. in North NASH
vile, and Napier, in South Nashville.
The east side pupils will have to go
to either Napier of Knowles, as there
were not a sufficient number who pre-
sented themselves at Meigs to war
rant the maintenance of a teaching
force there.
The parents doubtless did not
clearly understand that they were
abusing an opportunity that few
cities have, namely, that of sum-
mer school for the benefit Of the pu-
pills who are prepared to do little
extra work in the summer or who
need to do SO to be ready to proceed
with their classes in the fall. The
attendance at Knowles and Napier
will be several hundred.

national institutions. The fathers of
our republic, who propoanded this
great principle, we're neither Utopians
nor socialists, but men of profound
political wisdom, acting under no
BILE sense of political responsibility.
They did not mean to obliterate the
past, nor to abolish human nature.
They simply mean to declare in
short, that in our nation there should
be fair chance for every man to
develop the best that there is in
him, irrespective of race, color or
nationality. The idea was new and
untried, and if tried at all it must
of necessity be in a new country. 1t
was an experiment; it was not any
thing that could be realized at once,
but must be the slow growth of
ages.
