June 5.-(BpeclAl.)—An nually, «ince 1867, the teacher* ot Georgia have met in session, tout nono pt the meeting* oince the first have squalled in significance the one new being carried on down at Cumberland. lWhen the steamer City ot Brunswick loft her dock Tuesday morning 150 Heathers were on board, and following came the tug Dauntless wltit eighty odd. On the island some sixty or. sev enty were Waiting, having arrived th day before. TVbls ran the actual num ber present up to about 290 and this crowd was increased t>y the arrival of sixty teachers from the lower end of Die state on Wednesday tmomlng. In addition to these Florida sent quite a number end tlio whole formed a thor oughly representative body of educa tor*. A noticeable treasure of the gath ering was the entire absence of literary small. talk, assumptions of the llttao professors, etc., while In striking con trast Jolly grwd humor and plenty of pure unrest rained fun ran ‘through the entire crowd. The trip down was spent by all the up-country people In view ing the scenes of the coast and dis cussing various sights that they wit* uesaed. On landing at Cumberland plenty of cars transported thorn to the hotel, where Manager Uhacklcford and. his assistants handled them nicely and (without difficulty socured comfortable accommodations for all. After dinner your correspondent met MaJ. It. J. Guinn, chairman of the building com mittee and one of the loaders of the meeting. 'MaJ. Guinn expressed him self ah being highly gratified at the attendance and was confident now that home, as a permanent and beneficial Institution was a minces*. “This Is our first meeting m our own home," he said, “and we are all proud of imper sonally I can assure you flhat this meeting marks a now era tn tho prog ress of tho teachers* conventions, and while this mooting was, ifrom various causes, limited to a four days' session our next will extend several weoks and combine the Chautauqua features that are growing so in popularity. Tho lo cation of the homo forms An attraction that wM bring moro tiadhers to it than if it were loaned In the interior, the uA true th ms *'f t hi* being greater to a larger number than those of the up country.'* The views of MaJ. Guinn are entertained by many of the teach ers, and alt will return home so thor oughly pleased with 'this experience that U will'.be rosy to Induce others to come up next time and thus spread good influences amongst the schools over the stato. The auditorium Is on a* to be proud ot and o.in easily accommodate 1,000 l>oopie. Foilnhundred chairs marked "Uu. T. A.” are arranged in a huff circle underneath a roof seventy feet from tin* Hour and in front of .t very large stage. The floor ih slanting and so arranged that persona in the ex treme far.end of tho room can easily see the speakers. The ncoustics ,nre splendid, speakers addressing un au dience In moderate tones Hieing heard * in any parts of the building'. The roof is partly open, whllo half of each side is open, giving the wViolo «i sunvmer- lookhig appearance, which was added to by decorations of moss and palmet tos. 'In tho rooms on 'both sides of the stage sleeping accommodations have been provided for 100 men, should other iiocotu mods* Ions not *be sufficient, in the address of general weUnxme deliv ered by Huperln'tondent A. I. Bran ham, A. M., <»f illyim's schools, he ■^briefly told the history of the present home from Its first inception to the present time and dwelt upon tho hla- t<*rte and inspiring surroundings which Would serve to inspire the teachers with a love for their work and home. The history of the origin of the home us told by Superintendent Branham dates hack to 18$$, when Mr. Edwin lirohaton, late member of Glynn's board of education, wan editing the Brunswick Morning *Ncws. now '.he JlrunewVk 'runes Advertiser. One evening In 1SSS. while Huperlntenltent Itrunham was sitting In th** eattori.d room (haousslltg Glynn's schools with Mr. llrobbton* he suggested %vhat could l»e done for the Georgia Heachera’ bene fit by having u pernKmeni home for their annual meetings, and the result of that Suggestion WHS an article writ ten by Superintendent Branham, dated live years ahead, giving in minute de tail a ro|H*lt ot a meeting of Georgia teachers on the coast and a prog t\i own** of the proceeding*. Among the aUrac- t.ons mentioned was an address by Dr. traimadge, and so cleverly was the article written that many wh«» Called to notice the date line visited the Island to be at the opening meeting. At the an-tmal meeting In Athens, In 18s$, Dune rlO tend ent Branham ad dressed the body on the subject ami presen till plans and offers from va rious coast companies. In ISta) be ap peared before them at Columbus and KO persistently urged his pet scheme that the convention agreed to meet in Brunswick In IK91 and Investigate, and the result of this meeting was the or ganisation of committees to select sites and make other arrangements for the erctotlon of tt»e building.

It was within a short distant of them that Oglethorpe tho founda tion ot the state, and tooth at Sevan- nah and Brunswick gave <0 the people free education, a prlvllego they had enjoyed for 125 years. It was on their grounds tho Indians learned that some whites would treat them fair and caused them to request the colonists to Chang** th»* name of the Inland from “MIhhoi*" to “t'unibcrland,” ufi<r tho Duke of Cumberland, a man who «wan ttoelr typical 'honest man, and one whose fair dealing they desired to honor by having the Inland bear his name. Around their homo the exciting struggle* of the earijr oolonlsta took plftce against hwaders, and within a mile of them the last battle of the war of 1312 was fought, that memora ble event of January 11, 1815, when nineteen British vessels dropped an chor In the harbor and landed their mon, only to bo mot In a narrow defllo by Capt. Mesnlas and a very t&fr men, who gloriously routed 'them, only to learn clays after that peace* tod been declared two days before the battle was fought, and its result would (havo no effect. Another Inspiring fact was that a largo part of the timber of the frigate Constitution was out from the Inland, and last, but not least, beneath Its sod rests tho mortal part of Light Horae Harry Lee, father of that dis tinguished chlofraln, Gen. R. E. Lee, renownckl both In war and peace, and who spent the last years of his life in* the foremost-rank of the educators of the young. Superintendent Branham then con cluded by alluding Ho the fact that there were mo peddlers, freaks, tight, rope walkers or performers of any kind In (ho association, and therefore no '■'professors,'* "which caught the crowd’s fancy and tickled them im mensely. All the addresses were well received ■amd greatly enjoyed. The absence of Govornor Norflhcn <m tho opening day was deplored by many, who admire and rrepeot hhn greatly amd who ap preciate bis work for education. The uibsence of President Woodha'll, who was detained by Illness, rwas also felt. Among tho promlneny educators and their guests re: MaJ. H. J.
