For the same year only 4S per cent
of the white scholastic population was
in actual daily attendance, and 81 per
cent. of the colored population.
The average daily attendance for
both white and colored was only 6S
per cent of the total enrolment
That many children who are en-
rolled do not stay IN school is fur
Their shown by the report that only
per cent. are found in all grades
above sixth, less than 6 per cent
of the total enrolment are in the
sixth grade, and only about IL per
cent. are in the fifth grade; or,
stated in another way, only 25 per
cent. of the total enrolment or II
per cent. of the total scholastic popu-
lation are enrolled in grades above
the fourth in the public schools of
the state.
These, conditions OF enrolment and
attendance are entitled TO serious con-
sideration and to the most earnest
efforts to improve them.
1t is true that gains are being made
year by year, but the gains are so
inconsiderable that century's growth
would not cure the ills of which COM
plant is made or reduce illiteracy in
Tennessee to a respectable percent
age.
Funds are useless, teachers are lux
uries, courses of study are theories
and school-houses are ornaments I'M
less they all contribute to the devel-
opement of childhood into efficient
and productive manhood and woman
hood.
The intelligence of the state must
demand that all the children shall re-
ceive and enjoy all the opportunities
that are given by the training of the
schools.
The possible good that may be ac-
complished through our really excel
lent and growing school system can
not be more than partially realized
until the educational rights of chill
! hood are guaranteed by legislation.
If it is worthy of praise that hui
name societies protect from useless
pain and brutal punishment the help
| less animals, it is surely worthy OF
equal praise that the state shall pro
tect its citizenship from the pain Of
ignorance and the punishment of illit
eracy.
To this end the compulsory attend
ance laws now in force in modified
forms in a number of the counties Of
the state should be strengthened in
their requirements and be made to ex
tend their protection to every child il
the state.

AS yet we have no foreign CORE
spondence, either in New York, or
abroad. We have felt that it would
be safer to keep our correspondence
near at home, as the Nashville banks
are fully sufficient for the present to
meet all of our emergencies.
We fully believe that the time IS
ripe for the present stockholders to
increase their stock and to encourage
their friends to take stock. 1t would
give us larger working capital and
thereby increase our surplus. I again
repeat this year as | said last that
we dispose of our unused stock, or
take it off market. 1t would be an easy
matter for some person who desires to
speculate to buy up q larger portion
of our stock and thereby control the
Board of Directors.
AS yet we have not invested in any
real estate. We have some real estate
mortgages and they are proving to be
our best investments There are al
most daily applications made to us to
redeem partially paid real estate
transactions, which we could do with
profit to the stockholders if we had a
sufficient capital stock upon which to
work. But, we are of the opinion
that it would not be safe to make
such investments with depositors'
money that is on deposit subject to
cheek. OF course, if we had time de.
posts we could invest this money for
the same length of time that it was
deposited with us, otherwise, we must
depend upon short loans, personal
securities, ETC., for our field OF opera

believe that the time is drawing
nigh when we should have better
vaults, not so much for burglar pro
tections, as we provide this in other

SCHOLASTIC POPULATION.

The scholastic population of the
state, which includes all between the
ages of six and twenty-one years, as
shown in the latest published report,
is 771,734
Of this number 177,004 are reported
as being unable to read and write,
11S,1S5 white and $3.50 colored; or,
stated in another form, 20 per cent. of
the white scholastic population of the
state is illiterate, and 80 per cent. of
the colored population.
With the reduction that can Justly
be claimed because of those who are
enumerated as illiterate and who have
just reached school age, the per cent.
remaining is still too large, for there
should be no illiteracy among our peo-
pie who are eight years of age or
above.
Of the scholastic population 259,576
were not enrolled in the public
schools.
Of this large number 175,17S were
white children and S4,39S were col
0red This was nearly 80 per cent. of
the white scholastic population and
more than as per cent of the colored
population
This poor showing is somewhat i'm
proved when we add to the enroll
ment those who are pupils in private
schools--some 10000 and exclude
from the total population those who
at any time have completed the
school courses and all those who are
over IS years Of age, many of whom
are in other schools or are at work,
and who should not be included In

Emphasis In the course of his talk
which was crowded with deep and
rich thoughts, he pointed out and
proved the fact that our race lost in
one generation of servitude what will
take many generations of civilization
to remove, viz, spiritual freedom.
The whole tendency of slavery was

dropped Jeanette for a count Of

Throughout the fight, with the ex-

outpointed his opponent. He used
right and left swings to the jean

body almost exclusively, but he was
unable to land a knockout blow.
In the opening round Jeanette

blow, Langford landed left hook to

would recommend, for many rea-
sons, change in our Bylaws in such
way as to discontinue the office of
Teller for the time being and substi-
tute in his place the office of Assist
ant Cashier. Our Cashier is a man of
affairs and is often called to be out
/ of his Office for days, even weeks, at
time and there is no one legally
authorized to use his signature. But
If we had the Office of Assistant Cash
Ter with the Cashiers bond covering
his Office, he could continue to execute
business in the absence of the Cashier
with the same safety and legality as
if the Cashier were present.
The All Wise Head has seen fit to
take from among us one or our most
valuable Directors in the person OF
the late Mr.. ]. B. Bosley, who has
served both as director and a member
of the Executive Committee from the
organization of this bank until he
was called from labor to reward. We
regret his loss and enter into deep
sympathy with his family.
believe that the Cashier will be
able to report to you that we are
again able to declare a six per cent.
dividend, as in the past years. |
believe that this should be paid in
cash, allowing the stockholders to be
Judges as to whether they would in
vest this in stock, or draw it in cash.
This method of declaring an annual
dividend of six per cent. makes the
stockholders investment as profit
able as if his money were loaned, and
at the same time gives each stock
holder share in the surplus and un-
divided profits. find that the ma
iority of the banks have copied our
plan and it is now common affair
to see dividend checks from almost
every Negro bank in the country, sent
out to their stockholders, A ma
iority, however, of the stockholders
are so we'll pleased with this plan
that they almost invariably return
the dividend check with a sufficient
amount to increase their stock
