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 *he health and comfort of pupils teachers. „ Tour committee herewith of the plans of the ground floor recermy prepared by Mr. Urban, plan No. * bring she one which your committee ■ the best and submitted lo tb h om? from the Board of Education as the one which the Board of Trustees would un dertske to build If It was the Boord of Education, provided P ** rentals could be agreed upon in _ anoe with the proposition of the of Education.

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.

The Story Told by aa Mr,r In larle Sani'a Army—The Americana In the City, Military, Naval and Other*. Led la the Doing., Unt All Manila Joined In and All Flag* but Agnlnnldo'a, Even the Spanish, Were Vnforleil for the Occasion—Thrilling (tradition of “The Star S|>ang!el Banner” by Filipino Children. \olae and Firework* Without End. 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 about sundown and outclassed all the ITT rA I TOAOTtWg. / How the Filipinos celebrated Uncle Sam's hlrfhdg*. ___ firecracker fiends of Manila in getting up a oelebration racket. “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 ample, even if the hurrahing was a lit 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 Banner.” To say the least, handl apped 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." George Langdon Kllimr. HOME-MADE SIMMER OBIRKI.
