EVENTS AT PEARL HIGH
SCHOOL.
The entire corps of colored teach
ers assembled in the auditorium of
tliis school last Wednesday to extend
greetings and welcome to Prof. H.
Carl Weber, the new superintendent
elect of the city schools of Nashville.
The occasion was a jo.vous one. A
few weeks ago, a similar meeting
was held by the white teachers.
These gatherings are unique and un
precedented. The different Boards
of Education in the past have elected
several superintendents during thei
history of the public schools' of the
city, but never before has any sup
erintendent received such felicita
tions in advance of his taking office.
These meetings bespeak the popu
larity of Prof. Weber with the
teachers and the high esteem in
which he is held by them as an edu
cator. After the preliminary exer
cises, the new superintendent-elect
was introduced. His remarks were
characteristic of the man and show
ed that he had lost none of his old
time ."punch." There is still that
same force and dynamic power In
him which brought the Nashville
public schools to such a high state
of efficiency ten years ago. He is
original; he thinks for himself; ha
does not follow the beaten track;
he makes a path of his own. There
is no doubt that the Board of Edu
cation has acted most wisely in its
selection. 'There was a sentiment of
regret expressed by all the speakers
at the retirement .of Prof. J. J.
Keyes. The schools have made prog
ress under his administration and
several new buildings have been
erected during his term of office. He
leaves the office of superintendent
voluntarily, but will still be connect
ed with the schools in the capacity
of teacher.
The program consister of remarks
by Dr. .1. P. Crawford, represpntln.i.'
the teaching corps; Prof. E. W. Ben
ton, speaking for the principals; Miss
E. J. Terry, in behalf of the lady
teachers, and Dr. 0. V. Roman, on
behalf of the citizens. Dr. F. G.
Smith, principal of the high school,
conveyed a messagp from Mr. Wm.
; vi0 p,doi,i0 nt i
of
Education, who could not be 'present
n
ment. He also read a letter, from
Mr. Leland Hume, chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Board of
Education, swho had to leave for At
lanta, Ga., and found ft. impossible to
be present. Music was furnished by
the Flsk University Male Glee Club.

higher ground. The candidates that

her worthy young men in the person
of Bros. Samuel Vaughn, Charlie Mc

denial was a greater sin than Thomas'
doubting the Christ." The Metokas
taking the affirmative were very ably
represented by Messrs A. D. Thomas

the eloquent manner those young men
delivered their respective parts as it
is only a delight for them to at all
times do their bit.
The negative was strongly upheld
by Mesdaines M. II. Thompson and D.
P. Crowder, to say they held the

Thou art gone but not forgotten,
Burled deep bene'tli the sod;
But 'tis only thino body,
For thy spirit hath T.own to God.
How sweet to think of the time when
we were together,
Ah! those happy days;
For none knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but for praise.
Te would not. call thee back,
But rejoice in thy reception at the
judgment seat;
And we pray that tho time will pass
quickly
When we, too, shall kneel, at our
Saviour's fee.
His devoted mother and father, Mr.
and Mrs. Charley Keel.
