Coleman Won 0ratorcaI Contest in Iowa

Once more the Iowa inter-col-
legiate oratorical contest is a
matter of history. The repre-
sentative for the interstate con-
test has been chosen and the
seven defeated orators have al
ready set their faces toward
other worlds to conquer. 1t
was a pretty fight all the way
through and the great audience
present was splendidly repaid
for the long session last night.
The last speaker of the even
ing was Henry Coleman of Cor.
nell. His theme was to him the
most vital of all possible themes
for Mr.. Coleman is a negro.
His oration was entitled THE
Philosophy of the race problem. :"
In the course of his remarkes
he took occasion to answer the
position taken by Thomas Dixon
and others who have taken radi-
cal stand against the policy of
negro education and uplift in
dustrially. The chief strength
of Mr.. Coleman's oration lay in
his personal appeals and appli-
cations, which were full of pathos
and simple eloquence. His at
tidude was modest and unpre-
tentious and his line of argument
made a strong impression upon
the audience,
He was awarded first place in
the contest and will be Iowa S
representative in the interstate
contest. Mr.. Coleman won first
in both thought and composition
and in delivery so his victory is
clear cut and unquestioned.

vote. He built a large school
there that won recognation
among the best in Texas.
In 1904, Mr.. Cousins was
elected State superintendent OF
Public Instruction of Texas and
was elected again and again, re-
signing the State Superintendcy
in the middle of the third term,
to accept the presidency of the
West Texas State Normal Col
lege. This last position came
to him without his seeking, as
an expression of the large es-
TEEN and confidence of the
State Board of Education, with
whom he has been associated
during his incumbancy in Office
mentioned. He has never failed
in any undertaking. His admin
istration as State Superinten-
dent of Schools of Texas, is the
high water mark in the history
of educational process in this
State. The establishing of the
West Texas State Normal college
upon the broad and firm founda-
ton will be the crowning work
of a really great educational ca
reer. Canyon City, Randall
county and the Panhandle re-
joice to welcome Mr.. Cousins,
