She Was Approached

Miss Cora Slack, principal of the Alpine
street school, whose name appears on AK
tells black list, was asked yesterday
whether she had ever been asked to pay
for her place. She was very reticent about
making any statement as she desired to
shun publicity. She declared positively
that Axtel had never hinted that her posi-
tion was insecure, or that 1t could be fixed
although she intimated that some one else
had. Asked II Mr.. Adams was the man to
whom she referred, Miss Slack admitted
that he was.
Just before the close of school last
year" said Miss Slack. II was in the city
superintendent's office one evening and
met Mr. Adams there. He spoke to me,
ard said that he had something Of interest
to tell me which he wished to let me know
for my own good. Then he stated that my
name was on a black list, with twelve
other teachers. did not understand how
that could be true since the teachers COM
mittee had only that afternoon visited my
school and assured me that should retain
my position, and I knew that the city SUI
perntendent had reported favorably on
my work. l asked Mr. Adams what had
been brought up against me.
" Nothing he replied. except that your
position Is q good one, and is wanted for
some one else' He added. these things
are not always right but we can't help
that Before l left he promised to use
his influence to have me retained.
Il let the matter drop there and went
out into the country for the summer. The
next time that saw Mr.. Adams was after
my reappointment. He then told me that
he had fixed the matter for me. have
since learned from the other members of
the school board that there was never at
any time question as to my retaining my
position"

A goodly audience filled the Y. M. C. A.
auditorium last evening for the second
concert by the Nashville students. Again
solos. glees and other part songs were
sung with will and received with open
enjoyment. Humor and pathos, serious
and burlesque subjects are all depicted
in turn by the clever colored people, who
sing from their hearts and show consid-
cradle knowledge of how to do what they
wish with their voices.
