RESOLUTIONS.
The Students Of the COlored Normal
OF Ocala Return Thanks.

OF Ocala Return lHaIkS.
Whereas, the legislature Of the
state of Florida 81" that sum-
mer normal schools was an eXi-
gency among the teachers OF the
state to facilitate the educational
work being carried on in the
state; and in accordance to such
need did establish. or cause to be
esta blished, summer normal
schools for the purpose Of pre-
pairing teachers to better dis
charge the duties Of the profes
sion. And for said purpose the
state board Of education located
summer normal for colored
teachers in the town Of Ocala
Marion county, Fla. And tie
said board Of education appointed
| Professors Ii. E. Bennett and
Josiah Warn as instructors over
said school, and have proven
themselves in every respect equal
to the demand. And we, the
colored teachers here in summer
normal assembled, feel grateful
to the state board of education
for the appointment of such wor-
thy instructors as Professors
Bennett and Warn. From them
we have received due courtesy
and they have been impartial in
all their instructions. We feel
that they discharged their full
duty in the management of the
school to the delight of all their
pupils, which gave us a harmo-
niOuS session.
The session has been very in
structive and interesting, the
powers of our mind have been
aroused and quickened, our Gu-
ties and responsibilities have been
made palmer and now we return
to our usual avocation better
prepared for work, knowing that
the summer normal and our
teachers have been a great help
to US.
Therefore, We the teachers Of
Marion and surrounding counties
here in summer normal schoo.
assembled, do hereby render
many thanks to Professors Ben
nett and Warn for their invalua-
ble service and the satisfactory
manner in which they have con
Quoted this school.
Resolved, that q copy Of these
resolutions shall be furnished tt
the press of the city and state
for publication.
Resolved. further, that we ten
der our thanks to Hon. W. n
Sheats for his energetic efforts il
fostering the educational work Q
the state among the cOloreC
, people.

pers should be to the student as
we'll as to the state, aud this IS
what he had strlven to make
them
