Responding to this President
Wright said in part: 81 thank you
heartily for your kind address. We
have come TO Chattanooga because
we believe it to be one of the most
cosmopolitan of cities. The A. and
M. Colleges supported by the South
ern states are doing as great a work
as the money of the philanthrOpists
of the North is doing. We lived with
your parents and your grandparents
and learned to love them. There is
no reason why we cannot live with
you friendly now. We thought that
freedom brought rest from labor, but
these a. and NJ. colleges are teaching
that this is not the rest we want;
that we should not only live in houses
but build houses; not only eat corn
and peas but raise corn and peas.'

At the competition of the general

Young. The meeting then adjourned
the hour appointed for the commence
ment of the night services, the entire
seating capacity of the First Baptist
Church was taken and many persons
were unable to gain admitance. 1t is
estimated that more than 1000 color
ed people attended this meeting. Prin-
cfpal j. A. Henry, of the ColOred High
School, opened the meeting with d
few brief remarks, after which Rev.
w. G.. Parks offered a touching pray

towards educating both whites and

And while the white people have
done this, their fellow citizens of the

their condition when they were
brought here, and the short space of

Mr.. Edward NJ. Shepard, Of New
York, has within a few days delivered
a stirring and eloquent address on the
World Power of Public Opinion"
and shows how more potent than
armies or than the armed Ieviathans
of the deep, is it's effect upon problems
affecting the interests of great ma
tions. Mr.. Shepard's views deserve
profound study. They suggest at once
the inquiry how the great force first
finds expression, and then commands
effectiveness. The answer is ready.
! 1t is by means of the newspaper. The
conservative, manly, consistent journal
which comes into our hands as a well
come daily or weekly visitor, comes
presently by some occult process to
reflect the views, the prejudices, and
the political learnings Of it's readers
1t is the very index of a community's
inner self; the outward expression of
an inward grace. If in the excava-
t1ons of the two buried cities of Italy,
copies of the ''Pompeiian Stylus or
the 'Herculaneum Scimeter," could
be exhumed we would doubtless learn
more of the habits, the civilization
and the trend of thought of Plinys
age than has been acquired from all
the Statuary and other treasure which
the zeal of modern research has
brought into the light of to-day
AS newspapers are the indices of a
peoples thought, they advance collat-
orally. If the prevailing sentiment of
community is wrong, its favorite
newspaper will no doubt be equally
and pugnaciously wrong When the
light of reason dispels the illusions
or the sophistries of error in the pub
lie mind the newspaper promptly re-
hects the change in sentiment and
proceeds to adOrn truth with brighter

Ject. Our fellow journalists know the
process and the embarrassments. We

sentiment on question and the vanity
or view is bewi1dering. For too often
we encounter the "knocker. 3" that

tenslVe, that negative Negro, jealous,
enVlous and vicious, to whom the sue
cess OF any Negro institution or of anv
oIner Negro, man or woman, is a per-
sonal afront and the object of his
vile abuse and sneering detraction.
The fellow has talents. Yes indeed,
the coplousness, the readiness, the
wealthy vocabulary of his vituperation
proclaim them, and the pity of it all
is that so many excellent people alb
sorbed in their own daily cares. with

certain the facts pause, listen to the
wretch and are carried away into an

On Friday, the 9Th, the second days
business session convened. The first
matter business taken up was the
report of the committee on resolu-
tions, the adoption of this report being
one of the most important features of
the meeting. Following is the report:
The presidents of Negro state Ari-

the various states in conference as
Sembled at Chattanooga, the state of

fields, its exchange of views, its dis

portance of that peculiar line of work
to which our schools are committed.
We regard the development and i'm
provement of the Negro along agri-
cultural, mechanical and domestic
lines as of primary Importance mas
much as it conduces to useful and
productive citizenship.
3. We are mindful of the wisdom
Of our federal government in proivd-
ing for the endowment and mainten-
ance of the A. and NJ colleges
throughout the various states; also
we acknowledge with due apprecia-
ton the supplementary aid extended
this class Of schools for our DeoDle

members Of our race most earnestly.

offered by noble farm life for the
avoidance of the idleneSs, poverty and
squalor so often incident to citv and

D. We regard with high favor the
movement now being inaugurated bv

the betterment of the rural schools of
the South. We consider this the most
powerful influence of the century for
the spread Of education among the
masses.
