•lenmark, one of the committee of the
goard of Education, and he said it con
fined a fair record of the result of the
neeling between the two committees. At
tiis meeting, as stated in said report, the
of Education, through its said eom
nlttee, offered to pay an annual rental
,f three thousand dollars per year until
ihe coat of the erection of the new build
,.g had been defrayed, provided the trus
ts would erect a suitable school build
in? acceptable to Its said commiutee. To
his report there was attached a payer
repared by Otis Ashmore. Esq., and giv
m to your committee, which was entitled
•Suggestions as io the needs of the pro
nged buildings on Chatham Academy lot."
rhis paper was prepared by Mr. Ashmore
it the instance of the Commiutee of the
Board of Public Eduction, and is referred
o In our report as follows:
••In answer to the question from your 1
.•ommittee as to what was required by j
he Board of Education for its purposes,
:he matter was referred to Otis Ashmore
Esq., superintendent of the Board of Edu
■stion, and his report is hereto attached,
Tom which It will be seen what is re
tired.”
After that report was presented and con
lidered, the following resolution was
idoptcd by the trustees of Chatham Acad
imy:
“Resolved, That Messrs. Cunningham,
freeman. Clay and Baldwin be a commlt
:e to obtain a plan for anew academy
ouilding, and for rebuilding at a cost of
opt exceeding $40,000, the burnt portion of
Chatham, Academy, so os to secure so far
is possible, the accommodations suggest
ed by the Committee of the Board of Edu
cation, and Mr. Otis Ashmore; such plans
as are favorably considered by said com
mittee to bo submitted to the trustees
for final selection.”
In pursuance of the suggestion of the
committee of the Board of Education,
and of the above resolution, your commit
tee advertised for plana in the Savannah
papers, In the Atlanta Constitution, the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore, and
the Engineering News of New York, the
plans to be submitted by April 25.
On application from architects, your
eommtttee furnished to each applicant a
prospectus showing the dimensions of the
Chatham Academy lot and the require
ments under which the plans were to be
submitted. A copy of this prospectus is
hereto attached, from which it will be
seen that the suggestion made by the
Committee of the Board of Education
Were given in the - language of Mr. Ash
more as the approximate needs of the new
building when completed. A number of
plans were submitted to your committee,
and were carefully considered by them,
many days being given to their consider
ation, and cne was finally agreed upon
by your committee.
On the 21st of May this plan, with oth
ers which had been under consideration
by your committee, was submitted to a
meeting: of your body, and it was
"Resolved, That the building commit
tee of this board confer with the com
mittee of the Board of Education, and of
fer in behalf of this body to rebuild the
burnt portion of the academy on the plan
of Mr. Alfred Hopkins, provided satisfac
tory arrangements be made with the
Board of Education."
In pursuance of this resolution a meet
ing was had with the committee of the
Board of Education, and the plan as sub
mitted was not satisfactory to the com
mittee of Board of Education. At lhat
meeting of the two committees several of
the other plans were examined and dis
cussed, and the two committees not being
able to ogree on any of the plans submit
ted, It was suggested that all plans should
be rejected, and that an architect be em
ployed to make plans for two new gram
mar schools to be erected in the place of
the buildings damaged by fire. This sug
gestion was acquiesced In by this Joint
meeting, and the whole matter, together
with the plans/ was referred back to your
body, and. after discussion your body
“Resolved 1. To reject and return to
their authors all of the plans that had
been considered. 2. That the Building
Committee are directed to employ an
architect to make plans for and superin
tend the building of two grammar schools
that will be acceptable to the Board cf
Education, and to come within the means
of the trustees.”
In accordance with this resolution your
committee selected and employed Mr.
Henry Urban to submit plans for the two
grammar schools required. After much
consultation and flie preparation and con
sideration of many plans, your committee
selected a plan for the ground floor of the
new building which filled every require
ment of the committee of the Board of
Education as furnished to your committee
by Mr. Ashmore. This plan was submit
ted by your committee to the committee
by that committee together with seven
of the Board of Education, and was taken
other plans which had been under consid
eration of your committee to be examined
by them.
In preparing and selecting a plan for j
the erection of anew building to replace |
the burnt portion of Chatham Academy,
your eomlhlttee was confronted with nura- j
erous difficulties. Through the superin
tendent of schools, the Board of Educa
tion had specified what was needed as to
the size and number of rooms. It was
desired that the new building should be
located on Oglethorpe avenue, on the site
of the portion of the old building which
had been destroyed. Drayton street be
ing a thoroughfare, noisy mid dusty, your
committee thought it unwise to pluoe the
building on the line of the sidewalk, be
lieving that it should be twelve or fif
teen fee* therefrom, to avoid the noise
and to give pure air with as little dust
as possible to the school children in the
eastern rooms. It was necessary to leave
sufficient space between the western line
of the new building and the eastern line
of the old building which had not been
Injured by fire for purposes of light, air
and ventilation for the western rooms
of the new building and the eastern
rooms of the old. A cheap budding with
stud partitions and of light structure
was deemed entirely unsuitable; sufficient
exits and entrances were necessary, tour
committee endeavored to have stairways
so placed as to remove any danger from
fire, and to insure ample means of access
to and departure from the second and
third stories. To build a plain, s bst ' in ‘
tia) building and to provide a heattng
plant therefor would take about all o
the fund In the hands of the trustees.
While your committee desired that a
handsome building should be erected,
they deemed hygienic conditions the
health of the children and the placing of
the room* and building in such a mariner
as to Insure sufficient light and air for
tha pupils of greater Importance than
exterior appearance of the build. ng,
while your committee has always ha •
eye to the exterior appearance of the
building and have desired A, ° .\ y
handsome as the means of your ltody
would permit it, has deemed i 1
regard that as of less importan

On the day after the meeting of the two
committees the plans were found on the
desk of the! chairman of your committee
without one word * explanation. Since
said meeting your committee has heard
nothing from the committee of the Board
of Education or any member thereof. Nor
has any objection been made to the ade
quacy of the building for school purposes,
nor has any complaint been made of any
lack of proper and necessary provision

Mr. W. L. Clay.
The following statement of the condi
tions and specifications furnished to ar

Washington, June 29.—" Yes, I can tell'
something about the first real Fourth of
July celebration in the Philippine*," said
MaJ. Wiliam Wheeler, U. S. A., one of
the latest arrivals from Manila’s military
circles "We were here In 1898 and Dew
ey’s men had a bit of a hurrah time,
but Old Glory hadn't been officially plant
ed to stay, so the day passed quietly with
the soldiers.
’’But for 1899 there Is another story,
snd one to interest the American public.
As for the day in the army lines, it
wasn't at all what we wished It to be,
and I may say without disparaging the
dignity of the army now representing the
nations in foreign lands, that every offi
cer and soldier longed for a real old
fashioned Fourtn. We felt patriotic and
wanted to have a good time on general
principles. As It was, the main part of
the troops were away In the Interior*,
strung out on long lines in front of an
active enemy. All our outpost* were
close to the native camp*. Not only
tl>i men on post and In actual touch with
the enemy, but the reserves, as well, were
under strict orders to be ready at a
nlnuto’s notice to meet an attack. Fourth
or no Fourth, these ordhrs were obeyed.
And, by the way, up at San Fernando
Gen. Young's men were treated to a
Fourth of July sulutl from across the
lines. The Filipinos opened a. fustlade

“However, all over he islands, even
In the isolated district* covered by our ;
troops in the Vlscayas—that is, in Cebu,
Negros and Panay, where the garrisons
are but handfuls In comparison to the
natives under arms or prepared for war
—the day was formally observed. At 12
o'clock noon, when the guns of the Sixth
Artillery thundered the national sulute
on the Luneta, at Manila, and the war
ship in the harbor and along the coast
echoed in response, the field batteries of
the army all over the islands swelled the
salvos. Those who had ears in Luzon
Heard Uncle Sam's Declaration of Inde
pendence announced by the cannon's roar.
So, too, in Negros and Panay and In
the robber-infested mountains of Cebu.
And to make the eoldlers on routine duty
feel that they are Columbia's children as
well as her bodyguard, every man had an
ex Ira good dinner, served with the best
delicacies ihe camp and the available
markets afforded. Thus the army kept
the spirit of the day and set a good ex

tle shy for Yankee crowds. By the way.
I forgot to mention that when the day
was officially ushered in throughout the
camp by the bugle notes of army reveille,
the regimental bands along the miles and
miles of camps, a perfect girdle, you
must understand, across Lueon and the
Vlscayas, played. "The Star Spangled

as the army was off on the other side of
the globe. In a wild and generally hostile
country, tho day all American* love to
celebrate was nm neglected. A* to Ma
nila and the Filipino population generally
on July Fourth. 1899, I wish 1 could ade
quately describe the central festivities
which marked the day.
“The Escolta, which might be called the
Broadway of Manila, although it is a very
narrow street In point of fact, was alive
with burning, and If It was all the Yan.
ke arrangement of red, white and blue,
it was fluttering and floating, moving and
dipping in the strong breeze which blew
up from the harbor, zlmply In honor of
July Fourth. 1776. Every flag that has a
mission In the Philippine*, except, of
course, one, was in evidence high and
low along the Escolta. Old Glory, here,
there and everywhere, the Union Jack
ditl%; then the red, white and black
standard at the German Fatherland, al
ternating with and peacefully carresslng
trl-color of La Belle France. Spain'* flag
was In the dlaplav and waved a* proudly
as ever. There were flags, too, of the yel
lows, and flags of the blacks; all flags,
but Agulnaldo's. But If Agulnaldo's stan
dard was missed by any one on the Es
colta that day, the disappointed individual
didn't let his neighbor know It. Every
body seemed happy, and all that was miss
ed, so far as any observer could Judge,
was the time that didn't officially belong
to tho Fourth of July. It was all too
short. Gen. Otis' curfew signal came in
the middle of the fun, Just when the frol
icking was too furious to stop without a
of grace to let go euay, as 'lhe
old cat die*.' It look from 8:30 p. 81., the
curfew hour, until some time In the fore
noon of the slh tor Manila to really give
over tooting and toasting and gyrating
In honor of Unci# Sam's birthday. But
the Luneta was the scene of the real
show. The Luneta of Manila is a crescent
shape plaza overlooking the beach. There
the hand* piny for the populace and there
all the parades and public demonstration*
ure held. It wa* crowded like a country
fair ground on prise day. the Fourth of
July, 1899. Not only Filipinos of all shades,
pure black and half breed were there, but
ttpnnlards and Jap* heathen Chinese,
German* In swerms, some Frenchmen and
hosts of Englishmen. The professional
globe- 1 rot ter. no matter what his nation
ality, enjoys n show, even If rhe doesn’t
quite approve of the motive behind It. and
the English sojourner* at Manila entered
heartily Into the flrzt Fourth, In spite of
painful recollection*. Soldier* and sailors
in troops nnd squads were there, off duty
for the nonce, and In for a holiday.
"Manila'* suburban folks, tha gentry
and their households, were very much in
evidence. They came In vehicles of all
sizes and and. script ions, from traps and
hansoms to the stately carruaje, or car
riage. and long, narrow carre.lia, or cart.
There were rockaways and ambulan< es,
and army wagons drawn by mules,
and lastly, the very common two
wheeled calessa or gig, and the
ooleiin, or ’one hoss shay.’ There, on the
fringe of the motley assemblage of thing*
and wheels, the street car* stopped to
allow passengers 10 take In the sights on
the Lmneta.
"On the Luneta were held the formal
exercises, without which no Fourth of July
celebration Is complete, including the
speech-making, the waiting, the disjoint
ed program, the things noi down on the
hill and the impatient suffering children
drilled for heavy parts. The School boys
hi holiday attire gathered around the
bandstand, made the most picturesque
featuie if the scene. There was a swarm
of them hi clothes of variagaiet hues;
Filipinos and Jape and Chinese, trained
to sing pairiotlc songs In English.
"The bandmaster led the singing, and
the bad or truant boys, dodging about in
the crowd, tossed firecrackers over the,
hi ads of the chorus and the official spon
sors of the show. But it was the Fourth,
aid this annoying variation of the pro
gramme went without trotest.
"At first the school children, were timid,
like average Amerlcdfc children unused toi
appearing in public. They began wlih
"America," then struggled .through “Hail
Columbia" and "Tha Red, White and
Blue." The band played popular airs be
tween the songs. Finally, when the en
thusiasm was verging on the bursting
point, the dittio’iones gave their master
piece, “The Star Spangled Banner.” Some
of the Impromptu choruses at homo would
have been put to the blush by that per
formance on the Luneta. The-- soldiers
cheered ns only soldiers can when ten
thousand of them let their lungs loose;
flags waved all over the ylpzn, and even
o and ocean became and lashed the
beach with great waves,nxa some monster
eagle flapping hip wing* in a frenzy of de
light. This was the climax. 'After that
Uncle Sam's celebration dominated Ma
nila. The transplanted holiday was a
•go!’ The button had been pressed and
the electrical current turned on. The
machinery was well oiled and there was
no stopping of the rapid motion until the
springs of patriotic fervor were exhausted.
"It had been planned by the wise guar
dians of law nnd order and the general
peace that firecrackers should not bo ex
plode] anywhere in Manila except on the
Luneta, which Is usually as bare as a
street pavement. The Luneta had its
quota of bursting crackers, us the crowdt
there could testify, but ihe Manila small
boy wanted more room for the great oc
casion. He Invaded the crowded E- o ta,
where the high walls of the narrow streets
echoed the reports and raised a din that
was earsplitting to those not brought up
on Fourth of July noises. So It was of
no-use to try to put a curb on Manila's first
Fourth. Quiet was broken and all the
population Joined In to swell the hum
and the racket. The fun lasted all night.
Balls at the club rooms, ball* at the ho
tels, banquets and dance* on shipboard
and the s reet* filled with line e Pam’s
soldiers and sailor* freed from ditclpllne
to make a carnival In en atmo prie.-e
which Invites that form of relaxation.
"Hew seriously the natives, were Im
pressed by the occasion I won’t venture
even to gues*i” ra'd the Major, in con
clusion. "The Filipinos ere a peculiar
people. But they enjory holidays, the more
ihe better, and they wilt not be In u hur
ry to forget the first pjlsy, blowing, flar
ing Fourth of July in Manila."
