Instead Of Firing Faculty Of C00ired
State Normal as Has Done ia
the White N0ymGIS, COiOred
Institution Gets Praise.


faculty of that excellent institution
was retained. This is the State Col
ored Agricultural and Normal School
and is attended by more than four
hundred colored pupils. That the
faculty of such a large institution
should be retained when the State
Board of Regents for the white
schools have made almost clean
sweeps Of the State NOrmals reflects
great credit on the said faculty. Two
instructors resigned to accept better
positions in other schools, otherwise
no change was made.
Mr. John /. Love, formerly Of the
High School of Washington, has been
elected vice president to Prof. Inman

city occupying good and prominent
positions (outside of the Govern
ment that are not known. In a good
many cases they are positions of hon
or and trust. We will mention later
on. 4
