Every Speaker in Brilliant
Mood-President Address.

The first annual session of the Col
ored Teachers Association of Middle
Tennessee convened at Pearl High
School Thursday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. The meeting was called to
order by Prof j. b. Bate, president
A large number of teachers had as
sembled from all sections of Middle
Tennessee, and it was evident from
the outset that the meeting would be
profitable and full of interest. The
following program was carried out
at the evening session: Welcome on
behalf of the State ~ Governor B.
w. Hooper was read by Secretary of
State Taylor, as the Governor was
confined to his room. He spoke in
brief of the Importance of teaching,
and encouraged those present to put
forth their best efforts to train the
young minds Mayor Howse was
out of the city, and therefore could
not be present.
Dr. c. V. Roman, the eminent
specialist and editor of the National
Medical Journal, responded to the
welcome on behalf of the citizens.
DR.. Roman was as usual full of wit
and humor, and at the same time his
words were philosophical and went
home to all who heard him.
DR.. Ellington, pastor or the First
Baptist Church, welcomed the teach
ers on behalf of the ministers, and
in well-chosen language he showed
how closely related is the minister to
lie
to teach the children in their charge
Christian living as we'll as mathema-
tics, grammar, etc.
DR.. j. P. Crawford, the supervisor
of public schools of the city, deliv-
cred and the welcome address on be-
half of the teachers. He is a ready
speaker and was at his best on this
occasion. He told of the progress of
the public schools in this city and pic
tured a bright future for the future
of the public school system of Nash
Vile.
Music was furnished by Misses
l.. A. Bright and Selene McGavock.
who rendered beautiful solos, and by
the Roger Williams University.
AT eight o'clock Thursday night a
mass-meeting was held at the First
Baptist Church. At this meeting an
address was delivered by Hon. ]. w.
Brister, State Superintendent of Ed
ucation, and the annual address of
Prof. j. B. Bate was also listened to.
A splendid program was rendered.
participated in by many of the lead
ing teachers of this section of the
state and this city. The meetings
will continue through Friday and
Saturday, and already this associa-
ton promises to become one of the
strongest in the South.
