rENNessEE eoY Make eOoO.

There is general satisfaction among
the Negroes of the state of Tonnes
see relative to the good received from
the establishment of an agricultural,
mechanical and normal college for
Negro boys. When the Legislature
passed the bill to establish such a
school two-thirds of the population OF
Tennessee rejoiced and felt that they
were at last to receive some of the
benefits they had long been deprived
of. 1t is apparent that such a school
would be a great help to the state.
A lust comparison or possibly the
mention of a young man from Ten
nessee who has made such school
in the state of New Jersey the pride
of that state has been recently made.
The Manual Training and Industrial
School for colored youths located in
Bordentown, N. j., has been for the
past two years under the man
agement of Professor John Thomas
Caruthers, of Tennessee, who studied
and finished from the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College of
Massachusetts, located at Amherst.
Mr.. Caruthers is a Tennessean, being
born and reared in Columbia, Tenn,
studied at Roger Williams and fin
ished at Amherst with high honors.
The record that Mr.. Caruthers has
made as an agricultural specialist is
not one that the wizard of Tuskegee
would be ashamed of. He has made
such a record because the state of
New Jersey saw fit to make proper
appropriations, give the necessary en-
couragement to such pursuit, and
select a young man who had studied
the agricultural and mechanical art
and knew how to put it into practice
The state of New Jersey has given
$4,000 year to this pursuit OF
course, this does not include special
donations given through different
funds to encourage the art. The farm
from the school alone, according to
the report made by Prof Caruthers
to the state of New Jersey, turned
over this year $4,000 in cash, which
money goes back to the state treas
ury, but this, it is learned, will be
used in addition to the appropriation
to perfect and enlarge the agricul-
,ural pursuits OF the school, making
coo 600 available for this years work.
Such encouraging reports coming
from affair showing the accomplishments
of a Tennessee youth, should and
viii inspire those here to greater ac-
tiyjty.
