The attendance was disappointment

report to President w. L. Thirkield,

practical sciences and arts is so great
among the colored people that 1t is
not possible to supply the demand
made by superintendents of education
and principals of high schools and col

they are they would readily find posi-

provision. which was then adequate,
the student body suddenly jumped to
about 500. due to an educational

Churches. fraternal organizations and

The appropriations by the recent

STATES PART IN EDUCATION.
Growth Of Prairie View Normal and
Industrial College Largely Due to the
InSavsnes and Wise Management OF
Professor e. L. eisekshssr-Tssas
Gives Liberal Aid.

Prairie View. Tex. - Whatever one
might say OF the disposition of the
south toward Negro education, 1t
must be admitted that In recent years
sentiment has gradually changed in
favor OF giving to the children of the
race n better chance to improve their
condition. Practically every southern
Iy,te makes some provision for educa-
ton beyond that afforded In the pub
lie schools. Tennessee Is the latest
state to make such provision. the
last legislature providing handsomely
for the commencement OF the State
Normal school In Nashville.
In Texas. where more than In any
other state the colored people have
taken advantage of the opportunities
offered and have begun to make rec
ords for themselves, the state has
been very liberal In his recent trip
through Texas DR.. Booker j. Wash
ington repeatedly called attention to
the matter OF providing educational IA
ciiitics. Texas leads all other states.
and there are more colored high
schools In Texas than in all other
southern states combined.
The Prairie View State Normal col
! iege has been In existence since 1879.
1t was established primarily for the
training OF colored teachers. Later
under the twenty-slxth legislature the
name was changed to the Prairie View
Normal and Industrial college and
placed under the supervision of the
board OF directors OF the A. and NJ.
college. It's work is conducted praci
cnlly along the same lines. with the
possible exception OF the fact that more
pronounced Industrial work is done.
Prairie View ia best known to the
~rublic by reason OF the fact that Pro
Vfessor II. l.. Blackshear. n well known
educator and leader, has been Its head
for fifteen years and that much OF Its
real and substantial growth Is due to
his wise and efficient management
While the Texas school under the
management of Professor Blackshear
has done good work and has made its
influence felt all over the southland.
there is no getting around the fact
that 1t would have done much better
work, borne much better fruit. have
been able ito do more real and sub
stantial good with more commensu-
rate appropriation. None of the schools
cin the south get what they deserve or
what they need when the work they
are expected to do is taken into ac-
count
The same may be said of NIL the
state schools. whether for white or
black. In the first place. the legis-
latures are not always made up of
men to whom the needs of the young
people. so far as education is con.
cerned, are paramount Then, ngain,
theyDptc treasures are not always in
condition to take care of the needs
Of these inyitutions for future
.period The best that can be done
Frequently is to take care of tho
growth that has taken place instead
of making provisions for the future
For example, time was when appro-
