THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 205. BUSV WEEK THIS AT THE SCHOOLS 1 CHILDREN WILL MAKE EXHIBIT AT AUDITORIUM THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE GRADUATING EXERCISES Will Occur at the Grand Opera House at Night—Hon, T. J. Shacklefcd of Athens to Deliver the Address Thursday and Friday of this week are the days set apart by the primary and grammar departments of the Glynn academy for the exhibit of work done by (he children during the past school year. The exhibition will be in the audi torium amd the different teachers will be there all through the day. The work done by the primary grad es in clay moulding, basket making, and mat weaving is a remarkable ex hibition of what can be accomplished in a very short time under efficient training. Prior to this year there was noth ing in this line done in the schools whatsoever, and the perfection of the little articles fashioned by childish hands is, indeed, wonderful. Time should be taken by visitors to thorughly examine the work and inquire into the methods by which it has been taught. The exercises of the Excelsior Lit erary society will occur Thursday night at the academy. A program! of declamations and recitations closing with a drill by twelve girls will be in teresting. The graduating exercises will occur Friday night at the opera house. Hon. T. J. Shackelford, of Athens, will de liver the commencement address and it will contain something of interest to all who hear hrm. The public is invited to attend the exercises and particularly the exercis es by the primary children. The children have labored faith fully and well .awl while tliis—years work is only a beginning, still It Is a good one and Mr. Ballard expresses himself as satisfied with the results and hopeful that the ultimate success and perfection of the system will be in proportion to the work done this year. GETTING UP SUBSCRIPTION Brunswick Will Have a Good Bail Club After All. It looks as if Brunswick will have a good baseball club this season after all. and the team is about ready to begin playing. Several of the members were out yesterday with, subscription lists, and the fanatics of Brunswick very liber ally subscribed; and in short while quite a neat sum was realized. The uniforms will arrive in the course of a few days and the team will be ready to battle with out of town clubs. It is understood that they have already received several challenges from Jacksonville, Fernan dina and other nearby cities. It will probably be the best all home club that Brunswick has ever had. We had a very good one last year, but there were several weak points about the club, especially that of catcher, but this year, Jack Bowen, who has played professional ball, will he wilh the team, and that important position will he well looked after. Alfred and William Crovatt, who are attending school at Hmory, will be home shortly and will play with the team. Both these hoys have been playing with the college club during the season and they have shown up well. With the other local players, there is no reason Why Brunswick should not have a club that will well represent the city. The club this year will be managed by B. P. Coleman, who is an old ball player and who thoroughly under stands the game. SCHOOL TO GIVE PICNIC. Children of Fancy Bluff to Have Big Time Wednesday.

Editor News: —Commenting on the article in your issue of yesterday, by Wyllys Rede, D. D., it is untimely, uncalled for, and particularly shown of that grand preorogative that civi lization bestows upon the poor as well as the rich. Justice, at a time when the enlightened world is horrowstric Ir en over the butchery of men, women and children in Russia, it is needless to detail the fiecidishi, feverish in stincts and lavished in fury by fana tics', under the garb of religion, I say there Is no comparison between the poor hunted victim who is for tunate enough to save his life by flight, to the only haven of refuge -that is available, and the horde that corailed in Italy by syndicates who control the railroads and stoaoislii s to (lump them into the United States. And largely composed of an element that Is at war with every form of ac cepted government. A discriminately circumstance in form of the Jew is his unquestioned loyalty to the govern ment under which he has made his home. The Jew will accustom himself to normal conditions under any flag so long as he Is allowed the privilege of earning a livelihood. Fanaticism and religious persecutions is the in centive to Jewish immigration. A con gress of the enlightened countries of she world condemnation of the ruth less butchery of human beings, will curtail largely the exodus of the Israelites into this country. JUSTICE.
