The Teachers Perfect Plans for a
Reception and Testimonial Our of
Regard for mis- Thirty-two Years
Continuous Service as a Teacher
In the City Schools-Public Spirit
ed Citizens Interested and VIII
Join in Honoring DR.. White.
Dr. Robert S. White, the principal
OF Knowles School, is Just now COM
pleting the thirty-second year of his
teaching in the city schools. He has
rendered the people of Nashville in
general and the colored people in
particular, a conspicuous service.
For these reasons the city school
teachers have perfected plans for
reception and testimonial in honor
of DR.. White and his long term of
service as a welfare worker in Nash
vi lie. 1t means something more than
passing pleasure and brief congratu-
atoms to the man to be IGNORED and
the teachers and citizens who will be
joint hosts on the occasion.
The beginning of the career of
Robert White as a teacher in the
Nashville city schools marked the be-
ginning of new epoch in the history
and life of Tennessee colored people.
The success of DR.. White has been
very largely the success of every
teacher in the city schools, for he
opened the way for others to enjoy
the opportunity by his oan good con
duct and efficiency as a public serv-
ant
The date of the reception has not
been arranged because ~ White has
been slightly ILL., He expects to be out
again soon and then the time for the
reception will be adjusted. All other
arrangements have been prfected and
many Of the citizens are anxious to
join the teachers in honoring DR..
Robt S. White.
1t is hitting that the teachers should
Go this in honor of DR.. White. The
occasion should be made a grand one.
1t will do Dr. White good and every
participant good 1t will strengthen
the bonds of helpfulness and COOP
GRAFTON already existing among the
Nashville teachers and exalt the pro-
fession itself.

peculiar manner of tying up his scanty

Years afterward Chief Shavehead

to his braggart utterances. The old
soldier as he heard the tale was mad
