Major-general Jefferson C. Davis, commanding Four- teenth Corps, referring to the Fourteenth Michigan Infantry Volunteers, wrote the Secretary of War as follows: "Colonel Mizner and regiment joined my command early in the campaign against Atlanta and served with distinction to its close. This regiment was one of the best in the Corps under my command, and upon every occasion where the enemy was met invariably signalized its courage and dis- cipline. In the assault of the Corps upon the enemy's works at Jonesboro, which resulted in the fall of Atlanta, the colors of this regiment were among the first carried over the works. Colonel Mizner had been long in command of this regi- ment and without doubt much was due his exertion and skill in promoting that excellent discipline and spirit of gallant- ry for which his regiment was conspicu- ous throughout the war. Colonel Miz- ner's personal bearing on the field was no less conspicuous that that of his regi- ment.". Retired, Aug. 1. 1891. Address, 61 Pitcher St., Detroit, Mich.

MONTGOMERY, Mrs. A. M .:

President Women's Educational and In- dustrial Union of Rochester. The union was organized in 1893. Its purpose is to increase fellowship among women, in order to promote the best practical meth- ods for securing their educational, indus- trial and social advancement. The work of the club is done through committees; its effort is mainly along civic and educa- tional lines. In addition to the league, protection and other work usually done by women's educational and industrial unions, it has introduced sewing and manual training into the public schools. It has placed pictures in the school rooms of the city, and incited individuals and other societies to follow its example, till there is hardly such a thing as a school room without several fine pictures and bits of plaster in it. It has fitted up an entire school building with pictures and statuary as a model school in this re- spect-this was done at a cost of two thousand dollars. For several years the union has maintained vacation schools, and one summer it took charge of a sum- mer play ground. It maintains a fine lecture course every year, for this pur- pose utilizing local talent and fine speak- ers from abroad, particularly people of educational and philanthropic renown. It has classes in bird study, art, etc., etc. The effort of the Rochester union is not

to be directly educational, not to be an in- spirational source, not to continue vaca- tion schools, but to demonstrate their utility and necessity, and thus persuade the city to maintain them; not to put pic- tures in all the schools, but to create such an interest and desire for art in the schools that teachers, scholars and pa- trons will strive to make every school room in the city an artistic center. It has for years maintained an educational committee, with a sub-committee of school visitors, one for each school, with monthly meetings, etc. The union is do- ing so much for school yard improve- ment that Cornell University has made Rochester an experiment station; through the union thousands of packages of seeds are distributed to the school child- ren each spring, and in the fall large and highly successful flowers and vegetable exhibits are held, with prizes for the best exhibitions. This has stimulated other gardening clubs, and the offer of other prizes by other organizations and indi- divuals. Address, 106 Spencer St., Roch- ester, N. Y.
