Atlanta, Qa., May 1st, 1001.-"Momo rial Day" was fittingly obsorvod lu this city last Friday, April 20th. Many of tho schools and colleges closed for tho entire day and at uoou practically all business suspended for tho remainder of tho day and tho patriotism of Georgia was shown in honoring tho dead heroes. Tho day wns bright and warm and tho crowds of pooplo that BSB?I lblcd on the streets and at Oakland Cemetery woro a reminder in size of an exposition day at Pied mont Park. Every Confederate soldier that could got boro carno and brought his family. Tho grand stroot parade occurred in tho afternoon. It was a pretty sight. Tho procession started on Poachtroo street and traveled to Oakland via Marietta, Broad, Alabama, Whitehall and Hunter streots, arriving at thocomotory at about 4.?10. It was composed of a fino body abd looked to be more than a half mile ill length. Tho exorcises were hold at tho Con federate monument. Lawyer James \V. Austin, of Atlanta, delivered, with line effect, tho annual memorial address. His words touched a responsivo cord, not only in tho hearts of thoso who marched undor Leo and Jackson, but iii tho heart of every truo Southerner as well. "Sweet Pye and Pye" and "God j Bo with You Till Wo Moot Again" were swootly sung. At tho oloso of tho exorcises a dozen salutes woro heard from tho roaring can non. Boautiful wreathes and decorations wore placed on nil of the graves. A very pretty part of tho procession was a carriage decorated in white in which woro seated young ladies, (laugh tors of policemen, all dressed in spotless white. They, with tho polico force, marched around the grave of Chief Con nolly and placed a Dower. By kind invitation wo have bad the pleasure of visiting an interesting kinder garten school, taught hy Mrs. Julia M. Johnson and Mrs. Alethia Ballenger, at 74 South Boulevard. This, wo learn, is ono of tho loading free kindergarten schools in tho city. Accompanied by Miss Toccoa Parker, of tho Southern Business College, we spout an hour or two very profitably thoro last Friday morning. The school is tho Klsas-Muycs kindergarten and is run under tho aus pices of thc Methodist churches of thc city. Tho mission board appoints a committee of ladies to visit tho school every Friday and carry food, milk and fruits Buffioiont to make a meal for thc little tots. Last Friday a. number ot ladies of Trinity church carno and brought lunches, which made the forty little lads and lasses enjoy a good dinner. About ono hundred pupils aro enrolled, but the measles has caused the avoragc attendance to dccieaso for thc past week. This w as our lust visit to a school of this kind and wo were deeply impressed with tho importance and necessity of such an institution for tho training of children; especially in a largo city many children can bo found as sheep without a shepherd. Mrs. Bal longer and Mrs. Johnson are engaged in a noble work-a work which requires a great deal ol' Christian grace and combined qualities of kindness, love and patience. Tho children arc very obedient. There is a nursery in thu school where mothers leave their infants to bo cared for during tho day whilo they go to earn their daily bread. Thoro was ono babe their last Friday. Sometimes they have as many as a half dozen to care for. The children aro taught to sing and march to music and a great many other things, but best of all they are taught good manners. Around thc walls and in the rooms are many things which show forth their handiwork. Last week they were studying of things pertaining to memorials and wore making designs of such events. Mrs. Johnson asked us to pic!, out a little girl that wc would like to hear sing. Wc selected a little one not more than four years old, and she sang beauti fully. While she was singing a half dozen or more hands went up, signify ing "Call on mo next!" Both Mrs. Hal longer and Mrs. Johnson aro much de voted to their work. Mrs. Johnson re ceived her education in kindergarten work at the National Kindcgartcu School, Washington, I). C. She has bad seven or eight years' experience in teaching. Mrs. Ballong?r conducts tho children to Sabbath school every Sunday. We enjoyed our visit very nundi ami hope to be privileged to go again before tho school closes, which is in June. OTU Kit MATTHUS.
