meeting of the association in San Francisco
last July, and when Mr.. Marble went to
Nashville last November, he was met at
Cincinnati by a committee sent for that pur-
pose. In Nashville he received a most
cordial greeting from the citizens and
A IL
Mississippi, who attended the public meet
sng for the purpose of putting the matter
before the people. Chattanooga, Memphis
and other cities were also represented. All
of these Southern people were enthusiastic
about the meeting, and there was no hesita-
ton in making the final decision to hold il
there.
1t has been feared that trouble would
arise from the prejudice regarding colored
people. The Northern men have stated
their position to the Nashville managers of
the meeting, especially in behalf Of such
colored teachers as may go from the North,
who are accustomed to Northern treatment
and it is understood that special care will
be taken to have everything pass off
smoothly. One of the local committees is
s4On Colored People" and the whole re-
sponsibility for amicable arrangements has
been put upon them. Without doubt. many
C0l0reQ teachers from the south VIII attend.
and the number has been estimated as high
as 4. 600.
