civic Center.

The plan to establish a Civic Cen
ter in Nashville for Negroes is taking
tangible form. This matter has been
discussed among some of the leading
educators and business men in the
city for several months.
Prof. ]. E. MCCULLOUGH, in a full
statement that appears on another
page. gives his views on the matter.
1t is a question that is f~ar-reaching
and one that should not be decided
hastily. Nashville is a great city.
The citizens here are a liberal-hearted,
courageous people. The geographical
situation of Nashville has always made
it a place of attraction. Especially
is this true from an educational
standpoint, and, we might say, from
a manufacturing standpoint. This is
SO much so that this place would be
the ideal location of educational in.
stitutlons for Negroes, tnat Woulu
constitute a great center in the South
The temperament Of the people here
is such that such a scheme, if prac
ticable, could be worked out to much
advantage.
Prof. McCullouch's article should be
read carefully, and again and again
There is much need for thought ant
sober consideration; more than we
can attempt to discuss now-more
probably, than it is %expedient to dis
cuss at this time. But it is a matter
that should engage the thought of oul
men and women who have ability tt
handle the great questions OF thi'
age.
