The great work of Normal and Indus
trial Education goes grandly on. The
Southern States generally and Gulf
States in particular, are vieing with each
other in the contest for supremacy and
superior excellence.
Figures show that Texas has spent
more money for Negro education than
anv other state Its magnificent school
fund is shared in alike by both races. 1t
supports literally two state institutions
exclusively for Negroes-One at Austin,
for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind and the
other at Paririe View for normal and in
dustrial training.
The school at Paririe View, Waller
Co, Texas, was established in 1873 as
an agricultural college for cOlored boys,
but it proved to be a failure in this plan
and was the next year in 1870 convert
ed into a normal school to prepare teach
ers for the colored public school 1t
succeeded on the new plan and for ten
wears the school was devoted entirely to
normal work, one student from each
state senatorial district being granted
free board and tuition.
In 1880 in response to popular de
mand mechanical and agricultural de
partments were added for boys and do
mcstic economy and sewing for girls
In 1900 the legislature granted the right
Of appointment to state students at
Prairie View to representatives as well
as Senators and the number of such ap-
pointment now made is 100, each ap-
pointee paying one third of his board eX-
pense or $50 per school year of nine
months and $40 entrance fees in addl-
ton
Graduates from the full course of tOul
years receive diplomas which have the
validity of life state certificates. Three
hundred and eighteen OF these diploma:
have been issued since 1885, an annua
average of about sixteen. A much larg
er number of certificates of the first anC
and second grade vailed respectively TO
tour and TWO years udNe O00Ll lSouOu u
pupis successfully completing the secon'
and third years of the courses and II
this way the teaching force has been ma
terially reinforced for the colorec
schools OF Texas.
This school has done more than an.
single agency for the educational pro
press of the colored youths in Texas
At present the enrolment of the schoo
IS three hundred and twenty, the tore
of teachers. and officers, all of the col
ored race, twenty-three and the follow
ing departments are now III operation

of profit, usefulness and honor IN the
avocations of life, such as teaching,
practice of medicine, farming, the Civil
Service, and in business life. Most of
are teachers.
The annual running expenses of the
school, exclusive of buildings and inn
lprovements, for which special legisla-
tive appropriations are made, foot up
regularly $4,000, which are met by State
appropriations supplemented by aid from
the Morrill, Fund and by receipts from
the students.
The principal of this great school is
Prof Edward L. Blackshear, who has
done so much to bring it up TO its pre-
sent high standard. He was born in
| Montgomery, Ala, September 8, 1862.
His early school training was in the
public schools of Montgomery. While
attending the Swayne public school
there, Prof J. NJ Mcpherson, the prin-
cipal, secured him an opportunity to at
tend a school in Iowa He lived in the
family of the above-named professors
brother, Prof. A. S. Mcpherson, who
was connected with the school, Tabor
College Tabor, Fremont County, Iowa.
Here Young Blackshear became acquaint-
ed with Prof. H. T. Kealing, who also
studied at Tabor, and this acquaintance
ripened into a lifelong friendship. Both
graduated in June, 1881, and located in
Texas. Prof Blackshear has taught
|school in Ellis and Bastrop Counties,
and was for thirteen years teacher and
principal in the Austin schools. In
1896 he was chosen principal of the
Prairie View Normal, a position he now
holds Last June, 1908, the trustees and
faculty of Wilberforce University voted
the degree of Doctor of Laws to Profes-
lsor B1ackshear in recognition of his ser
lvices as a teacher. In June, 1902, Tabor
college conferred the degree of Master
Iof Arts. Professor Blackshear having
previously received the degree of Bach
lelor of Arts on graduation in 1881.
Professor Blackshear is a member of
1.-The Association for the Advancement of,
lScience, the National Educational As
lsOciatiOn, and at the recent Corsicana
Injecting was unanimously chosen presi-
ldent of the Texas State ColOred Teach
lers' Association. He is a member of
1.-THE Second Baptist Church of Austin,

The greatest event in the history of
the school was the visit of the, late
President VIM Mckinley, May 8,

thousands of people from Waller and
e adjacent counties awaited the Presidents
coming. The President was introduced

DIR. W. r. o. Veal, our efficient

Several years ago a Bohemian

application to business made a COM

ing. They could not speak the
English language, but sent their
children to school, who soon learned
to read and write. Last year the
husband and father was taken serious
" i'll, but persistently refused TO
have a physician called in until death
ensued, from the effects of which
deep sorrow and sadness fastened
their fangs upon the heart of the
widow. She brOOded over her loss
until last Thursday, when she fasten-
ed a rope around the joist of her
room, stood upon her bed and fasten-
ed securely the other end of the rope
around her neck, and leaped from the
bed, but being a strong lady the rope
broke and she fell PROSTATE upon the
floor, her neck and throat being bad
" bruised by the strain. A kind
family has taken this unfortunate
lady to their home to minister to her
necessities and calm her troubled
mind. The children, most of whom
are. grown, have the sympathy of the
community.
