DRY OLD SCHOOL BOOKS GIVE PLACE
TO “UNCLE REMUS” STORIES ON
BIRTHDAY OF CHILDREN’S FRIEND
Fifteen thouaand school children paid
a tribute of respect and of love to the
Memory of the friend of them all Wed
nesday morning at 11 o’clock to the
memory of "dear old Uncle Remus,"
upon the anniversary of his birthday.
There Is hardly a child In Atlanta
now who could not tell you that '‘Uncle
Remus” was born In Eatonton on De
cember 0, 1848, and that he would have
been sixty years old Wednesday had
not death taken him away—death, the
only hand could come between them
and the friend they had loved so well.
Books were closed at 11:30 o'clock In
every public school in the city Wed
nesday. and the children of each school
honored among themselves the memory
of the great author and $t>od man.
Separate programs had been arranged
by the principals of each school, and
those who had been selected to take
part had splendidly prepared them
selves for the occasion.
The exercises at all of the schools
consisted, for the most part, of recita
tions or readings of the various stories
and poems by "Uncle Remus." of
sketches of his life, and the relating of
Incidents In his life wherein were
shown the great qualities of mind and
heart which made him the most loved
author of his day.
At the close of the exercises the
children were dismissed, and there was
no more school during the day. Short
exercises were held also at the Car
negie Library.
