H TUE CELEBRA |PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILs MEDAL8—LANGSTON’s sPREUH GET THE The 16th of April, the 2! an- jniversary of emancipation of 'Slaves in the District of Columbia jwas duly celebrated ‘Thursday afternoon by an oration by Hon. J. M. Langston, and addresses by Hon. B. K. Bruce, and Prof. J, | M. Gregory. Mr. Langston reviewed the | events preceeding ani following the emancipation of slaves in the District, and spoke enthusiastical- ly of the colored people's progress | since they were freed. Not a) sin- | gle one of the unfavorable prgpie- cies that bad been made had been fulfilled. The speech of Sepator | Davis in the Senate when he eaid that not one slave in a hundred would be willing to be colonized after he was freed. Mr. Langston said, was the only true thing a | Democrat had ever aaid about a negro. The propiecies of a war of extermination between the white and colored races bad been |shown to be false. | Lawyer E. M. Hewlett read the emancipation act and Prof. Greg- ory made un address in waicb he |dwelt on the importance of the |emaueipation act, not only to the colored race of the Dietrict but to the whole people. The act had given freedom to about 3,000 jslaves ia the District. 1t had also purged the country of thedisgrace that attached to the existence of jslavery at the Capitol of a free jmation. It had ‘been a stench in the nostrils of/the people. He | Spoke of the progress of the color- , ed people of the} District had made jin their twenty- years of free- dom. When th¢y were freed they bad church projperiies aggregating $75.000 in valu Now there are single churches worth more. Then there were 8 colfored schools. Now there are 186 wyith 12,000 enrolled mo overi200 teachers. Six- teen ofthe largest and some of the bandsomest school buildings in the city are used for the edu- cation of colored children. How- ard University and Wayland Sem inary, looking down from their bills above the city, were the re- sults of the demand for the oppor- tunities for the higher education of colored youth. The attendance at the evening meeting was much larger. Arranged about the foot of the platform were interesting exhibite of the carpentry work made by the manuel training sckool boys. There were stools, tables, chairs and all sorts of stout!y and artis- tically made articles of furniture, showing the admirable skill the boys have acquired in the useful arts. Besides these there were bolts, nuts, screws, spriags, and other articles of metal made by the boys in the metal working department, which is in charge of Prof. J. D. Baltimore. The car- penter work was done under Prof. Hill, who is in charge of that department. Just back of the pul- pit an old looking clumsy tele- phone was fas:ened, aud wires ran from it around the church to another telephone like it at the other end. The “handphone” were rough affuirs of wood, and the transmitters avd battery boxes Were unvarnished, but the two ltelephones were eo perfect that ithe ticking of a watch could be heard ‘from one to the other. The evening meeting was d:- ‘voted to the work of the school children, this being deemed the beet way to celebrate emanci- pation day. W. Calvin Chase again presided and introduced Lawyer E. M. Hewlett, who an- nounced the awards of the com- mittee of judges for the various | essays. There were 12 gold medals \all bandaome in design and exe caution, and of considerable value | The awards for the essays were |made by a committee composed of |Rev, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, Rev. iF.

This is very complimentary to the boys who did the, work. The mechanism is also vedi e electrotype, “A Banquet of the Gods,” by Inez Kelly, we think sends next hi tas a work of art. The subject was well chosen and the work well executed. Prof. Bell displayed g great deal of interest in the telephones when making his examinations, and spent half ao hour over them. Jennie Jones, the normal school girl who wou the Brace madal for the best essay on “The best method to advance the negro race,” read her essay tiret. It was a practical one, and advocated the idea that the requirement of wealth by negroes would he the greatest help toward their ad- vancement.

Cook medal for the best essay on Charles Sumner; Louisa Kelly of the Mott school, winner of the Gregory medal for the best essay on Thomas Jefferson; Elinor Sew- ell of the Garret School, winner of the Lynch medal for the best essay on Abrabam Jancoln, and Nancy Saunders, of the Randall school, winner of the Hill medal, for the best essay on Wm.
