JUDGE ROGERS RENEWS HIS OFFER OF PRIZE. Veterans’ Historian Reminds The Weekly of His Offer Formerly Made to Children of Confederacy. QUOTATION FOR STUDY IS AGAIN GIVEN. t This quotation is from a speech of a distinguished man, on the occasion of an important event in Confederate history: “The impartial and enlightened verdict of mankind will vindicate the rectitude of our conduct, and He who knows the heart of men will judge the sincerity with which we have labored to preserve Government of our fathers in its spirit.” Who said it, and when and where was it spoken? Relate some of the circumstances of the occasion. A small book of some value for study will be presented to each one who may report with correct answer, which must be the result of their own study and reading. I prefer to make it limited in this way, to make it more certain that the children will study for the real interest in the subject, and for the personal benefit it may give to each one. The above is from a letter of Judge Robert L. Rodgers, His torian of the Confederate Veter ans, written to the Editor of The Weekly under date of January 28, 1911, and published in The Weekly of February 3, 1911. The letter which we publish be low explains itself. Our chapter of the Children of the Confederacy has never fully completed its organization, but was well on the way to doing so, when our last fire caused them to lose their meeting place. It is hoped that they will now take on new life and take up the noble work of the order actively, and that a number will proceed to win the book offered by Judge Rodgers for each successful an swer to his question. Judge Roberts’ last leUer is as follows: 66 Bedford Place, Atlanta, Ga., Apr. sth, 1911. Mr. Frank Reagan, McDonough, Ga. My Dear Sir: What was ever done with the matter of the quo tation from speech of a distinguish ed man, which I sent to you, and you published in Weekly? I have not heard from it any further. Did the “U. D. C.” and “Children of Confederacy” disregard it en tirely? If the study of history as proposed did not interest them, or was not approved in that way, perhaps we may suggest some other form, or ask them to sug gest a plan for the study. In this season of Confederate events, it seems propitious for study of history. The month of April. The Capture of Fort Sumter, 12th, 1861, when “there was fired the shot that was heard round the world.” Fort Morgan at Mobile was taken. Other events came on in April. Cannot now re call them all in succession. In April, 1865, Surrenders of Generals Lee and Johnston. Memorial Day in April now. Memory is active with April events. Is it not a favorable season now for the people to re member the events of 1861 to 1865, in month of April? What of the question I pro pounded? If not available for ready answer, shall I give the answer, and then let us present another query, that may be more easily ascertained for answer? Let me hear from you. I may present another topic for May study. Very truly yours, Robert L. Rodgers, Historian Ga. Div., U. C V. Application for Charter.
