We have been informed, that through
the courtesy Of Prof. Booker T. Washing
ton, Frank Armstrong of Marion, who
graduated at Cornell College. in Mt. YER
non last week. has been offered a position
as teaoher in the Tuskegee Industrial
College OF Alabama. Mr.. Washington
lectured at cornell" early in the spring,
when he met Mr.. Armstrong, and was
quite favorably impressed with him;
hence the position. We trust it will be
accepted and we are proud OF such young
men as Frank. Thus we have had two
young men of Iowa to secure honorable
position in southern colleges. The other
one being Prof. Joe Brown, who has just
finished successful term of Greek in
Bishop College, Marshal. Texas.

gent.
