one of the leading papers of the
State q few days ago, that there
were at least 6. 600 teachers that
attended the Institutes in the sew
eral counties of the State, and
more interest was manifested to
foster the educational work in
Arkansas than ever before. Some
of the Institutes lasted q week,
some a little more, and some vot-
ed to extend the time next year,
at the expense Of the teachers,
to two or three weeks, as the in
stitutes are such an insight to
the June examination. T h e
teachers of Nevada county make
the force, but each makes or
takes his or her opportunity. A
few of us are numbered with the
6, 900 mentioned above, and a
goodly number didn't know there
was any such thing as an insti-
tute.
l find that the educated white
people are ever ready to give ad-
vice and impart instructions to
the live negro teacher. Why?
Because they know that the bet
ter the negro is educated, the
better citizen he makes, and is
less obnoxious to his community
anT state. Take such men as
J. c. Corbin, ex-superntendent
of public instruction. H. c. Yer
ger, l. H. Blount, S. T. Boyd,
grand master of Masons in Ark
ansas, Joseph A. Booker and T.
H Jackson. of Little Rock, J. E..
Knox and others tco numerous
to mention, and you can infer,
from a standpoint of inductive
reasoning, that the above conclu-
sion concerning the negro's edu-
cation, Intellectually, morally and
industrially, is logically true.
Now, fellow teachers in con-
clusion let me remind you of one
of President Roosevelt's cpl
grams, viz: If we fall down there
are those who will help us up,
but if we lie down they haven't
time to help US up. Do you catch?

Maud Muller on summer day,
with her teller ran away, in a
benzine touring car, scootlng to
a preacher far. Maud's father
saw the ieeting smelled
the benzine scented air; caught a
mule whose name was Jane, and
gaIloped down a dusty lane; the
mobile swiftly ran, but burned
the oil all out the can. The mot
err stopped upon hill, but Jane
ran on just fit to kill. Alas for
maid also for man, alas for emp
~ benzine can. Maud's daddy
on the old gray mule came and
took her off to school. The mule
nigh wrecked the benzine cart;
the fellow died of broken heart.

A VITAL QUESTION.

|
Where are the negro teachers
of Nevada county. and what are
they doing? This is a question
of vital Importance and much
consideration. Where are you,
and what are you doing? Are
you contemplating teaching this
summer? If so, how about abil-
ity to teach, and be recognized
as being we'll qualified? Did you
attend the County Institute? Did
you 60 into the last public exami-
nation, or were your licenses
about to expire and you had them
extended? If you did not attend
the institute and examination,
why didn't you? Then, how
much information have you reap
ed from institutes, examinations,
observation and social contact
with your intellectual superiors?
| must say right here that Neva-
da county has the most uncon-
cerned set of negro teachers in
the state.
The department of Public In
struction goes to the expense of
preparing work for the County
Institutes to be held in the sew
eral counties of the State This
work is we'll outlined, and is
feasible of being comprehended
by anyone applying for third,
second or first grade license. and
it is whatsoever will may come. +"
If you remain away from the in
stitutes and examinations, how
can you expect to elevate your
self in the art of teaching? We
receive smaller salary than any
other set Of county teachers in
the state. Why? 1t is really be-
cause we do not avail ourselves
of the opportunities that come
within our grasp. Instead of be-
ing opportunity makers or Oppor-
tunity takers we are opportunity
forsakers. Yet, we have the au-
dacity to argue with directors for
better salaries and complain to
the examiner for better grades.
When we ask the directors for
an increase of salary, they ask
us for an accession of grades.
We evade the query put to us as
teachers, by saying: Jaw know
| dun better an dat; jes dat ole
'zaminer didn't give me whit |
made" The foregoing dialect
should be enough to annul our
contract right there. Did you
ever take a civil service exami-
nation? If not, then you ought
to. and you would learn some
thing of the rigidness of gsading
papers. My advice to you, fel-
low teachers, is to prepare your
self for the profession before en-
tering it. Before We can expect
to produce a Washington, Yer
non, Lynch, Dunbar or any 9TH
err character of which the negro
race should feel proud, we must
know what we know and know
what we don't know. Be not
afraid to show to those who visit
our schoolrooms and Institutes
that we have had some training,
and, to a great extent, are pre-
pared to do the work. Let the
visitors be white or black. If
they are inclined to test YOUR
ability to know and to do, there
is no improperly abouG it, so ac-
cept the challenge with alacrity.
| have been in Arkansas going
on eight years. and have taught
every year in Nevada county
since | came to the state. Why
is this? Well you may answer
that.
Let US come together and i'm
prove our qualifications. | saw in
