president of the National Association OF
Colored Women. and for five years a
member of the school board in the Dis
trict of Columbia Mrs. Terrell is a
graduate of Oberlin and studied year
IN Berlin and a year in Paris, so she was
able 10 deliver one speech in excellent
German and one IN equally good French.
ms achievement on the part of
colored woman, added TO fine presence
and the eloquence of her words, carried
the audience by storm and she had TO
respond three times TO the eneores before
they were satisfied. 1t was more than
personal tribute, it was triumph for
her race. Mrs. Terrell has been includ-
ed IL all the social eourtesies extended
TO the speakers"
The occasion presented itself and
Mrs. TERRELL did not fail to take ad-
vantage of it. This affair will prove of
untold benefit TO those of us who are
now struggling forward in this country.
