BRER RABBIT' MANTEL TO
BE USED ON POST CARDS
CFA’FRAL weeks ago. the women of
^ the Uncle Remus Memorial Asso
ciation hit upon the happy thought
to have photographed the beasutiful
Uncle Remus mantel and open fire
place in tbe children’s reading room
at Carnegie Library, for. the series
of postal cards the association has
from time to time put upon the mar
ket, for the purchase fund of the
Harris home at West End.
The tiles in the mantel were made
from original drawings of brer rab
bit, brer bar, sis-cow, the wily old
fox. and all the little foxes and rab
bits, that are exploited in the first
unele Remus tales. The drawings
were made by A. B. Frost, the famous
illustrator, who spent part of one
summer with Joel Chandler Harris up
at White Path In North Georgia, when
Mr. Harris was just beginning to
make himself celebrated as a folk
lore winter. There are thirteen tiles,
done in delft blue and white, and
these are made after Mr. Frost’s illus
trations by Elizabeth M. Fairchild.
When Miss Catherine Wootten. Car
negie Librarian, heard of the desire
of the Uncle Remus people, she wrote
to Mr. Frost for permission to have
his studies copied on the post cards,
and from Switzerland where that ar
tist is sojourning, the answer came
that the ladies could use the pictures
and that the artist would be pleased
to contribute a wonderful little orig
inal picture of Brer Rabbit, to the
home, which will arrive in Atlanta
shortly, and be installed there among
the art treasures that are being ac
cumulated in the Wren’s Nest.
The entire mantelpiece will be pho
tographed. In the red brick panel of
the mantel is written, in black let
ters,
"The world is so full of a number of
things,
"1 am sure we should all be as happy
as kings."
The border of the brick wall is a
wreath of bay leaver, in tbe center of
which stands a little rabbit in a
niche.

Miss Sarah Converse, principal of'
the North Avenue Church day school,
is enthusiastic over the success of the
institution. She notes that the out-
of-door training: and study hours in
the open have developed the children
wonderfully. There are flower gar
dens which the young students
planted and cultivated, and from
which vases of flowers have been
culled to adorn the school rooms for
several weeks. These gave the chil
dren incentive to stay out doors and
in addition they have baseball and
football teams and hours qf physical
culture exercise }n the open.
A practical training or sewing and
cooking for the older girls and a bit
of carpenter work for the boys is
given the upper classes, under highly
trained teachers. The classes are
limited and each child is given in
dividual attention and encouraged in
any personal gift or trend of intel
lect which he developes.
Last season a number of applicants
were turned away because of the
class limit, and next season two more
teachers will be added to take car6
of the increased patronage. Both
French apd German-are taught oral
ly to the little folks, and later gram
mar and reading for the older classes
is taken up. All teachers are col
lege graduates, and the language
teachers spend thgjr summers abroad
to keep up with their work. A fourth
grade high school will be added next
year to the school, as many applica
tions for that grade have been made.
