The following resolutions were
read, received and adopted:
Whereas, The Normal school of
Miller county for Colored teachers,
has been in session for the last four
weeks at Texarkana, Ark, con-
Quoted by Prof. A. B. Crump, is a
gratuitous gift of the state for the
benefit of the teachers of this and
the adjoining counties.
Resolved that we the teachers
show our respect for the liberal gift
by extending our many thanks to
the County Examiner for his visits,
his encouragement and his word of
instruction, and that we ask Prof.
Winham to'use his influence with
the State Superintendent to con
tinue the present system of Normal
schools.

Miller county have attend the Nor
NAL given by the State Legislature;
instituted by Prof. Jordan, State
Superintendent; endorsed and en-
couraged by Prof. Winham, County
Examiner and instructed by Prof.
Crump, and, whereas we feel bene-
fitted thereby and feel better equip
ped as teachers, Therefore, Be tire
solved that the directors of the
Rural Districts of this county en-
courage the system by tavoring the
teachers thus prepared for their
schools.
Whereas, The Safe Superinten-
dent has labored to improve our
ability as teachers and has given us
a Normal in each convenient dis
trict in this state, and whereas we
the teachers of Miller county have
attended two years under our
able and much loved instructor,
Prof. Crump, and feel benefited by
it.
Be it resolved that we heartily
approve of the system and give our
aid and show our appreciation by
regularly attending the same and
Be it resolved that we give spe
cal thanks to the Legislature and
ask them to continue the Normals
thus begun and whereas, the
instructor whom the State Super
intendent has given US is a natural
and an inspired teacher, be it there
fore resolved that we respectfully
beg that he be appointed for us
next year
Whereas, we have been regularly
furnished with music by Mrs, Mag
gle A. Washington,
BE it resolved that a vote of
thanks be extended to.her for her
services
Whereas it has pleased the AL
mighty God to take from us, since
our last meeting, one Of our teach
ers Mrs, Katie Mitchell and where
as we believe she was an interested
member of our profession, be it re
solved that we express our bereave
ment on that account.
