THAT A NORMAL.

nllI6 IAO
last General Assembly had made an
appropriation for the establishment
of a Normal, Agricultural and Me-
chanical College for Negroes to be
located somewhere in the state OF
Tennessee. a great deal has been said
and much has been done in the various
sections OF the state with a view to
making this appropriation as efectlVe
as possible, and to secure the ocatlon
of this school in that part OF the
state which will serve the greatest
number of taxpayers. A number OF
mass-meetings have been held in David
son county as we'll as in various other
counties in Middle Tennessee. Inc
developments of each Of these meet
ings show an increased interest IN
what the state school will bring TO
tbe state. Enthusiastic business men,
with men from the professions
clergy, have been meeting in the Ouu
Fellows Auditorium each Thursday
night. The work of these meetings
has been outlined from time to time
in the various papers. The commit
tees appointed have held their various
meetings and have outlined plans Oh
work which mean, when completed,
an almost sure guarantee that the
State Board of Education will take
note of Middle Tennessee's claim.
The list of the committees appointed,
and handed out by Chairman b. w.
Carr is given for the benefit of those
who are appointed and those who are
to work in connection with the Sc
curing of the school.

Id 1t will be seen that men and woT
~. en- have been enlisted, and a house
,+b house campaign will be i%naugurate
~ whereby at least $4,000 will be su
10. seribed for this school. One speak,
an at a meeting recently said that
each Negro in Nashville will put in
collection of $1.0O for the securing
this school they would raise i've $9'
900. It is also argued that if SUE
a an effort was made by the citizens, {
appropriation by the county and sta
IIo would be made that would guarant'
of the establishment of this great sta
institution within the limits of I
Ia wilson County.
