TEACHERS WALK OUT.

A walkout occurred ON the part OF the
Brenham colored normal Thursday morn
ing, which was participated In by the en-
tire enrolment. numbering seventy-six ap-
plicants for certificates.
The strike" was induced by change
in the personnel of the examiner at the
eleventh hour at the hands OF State Super
intendent J, S. Kendall.
The colored teachers are a unit in de-
claring that the action of the State super
intendent as reflection on the examiner
first named, which does him an injustice,
and which they could not become parties
to by remaining for the examination after
he had been deposed.
Judge Curry viii make n trip to Austin
In order to straighten the matter out, and
should he fail. the work OF the Brenham
colored normal will come to naught, so
far as the receiving of certificates is con-
cerned.
