day. At the close of the session
appropriate resolutions were Of
fered, thOnking the colored peo-
pie for taking care of them dur
ing their stay, and thanking the
county superintendent, the edi-
tor of the Independent and the
principal of thewhite school, the
superintendent of public in
struction and Attorney Stuck
ey for their lectures and helpful
advice to them. DR.. J. G.. Rob-
inson Of the A. M. E. church
and Prof. E. J. Wheeler, the
conductor, as we'll as Prof. O..
Chatham, secretary and the
critic, came in for their share of
thanks.
The last day Of the session was
marked by a visit from the Hon.
George B. Cook, state superin--
tendent of public instruction.
Mr.. Cook, in addressing the ne
gro teachers, said, in part:
II am trying to do my best
as the head of the educational
work in the state to correct
some of the mistakes that have
been made in the past. There
was time when the negro
teachers held out the statement
to every negro boy and girl that
the next step will be you are 60
ing to college and the result
has been that many have got
ten the wrong impression re-
garding the intention of the
public school. Not more than
two per cent of the white people
succeed in getting a college ed
ucation, and the percentage is
not that large among the men,
bers of your race. 1t is foolish
anyway, to put notions in the
heads of the youths of your
race, land the same thing I will
say about the white race), that
they must have Greek and Lat
in, when they are to make their
living in the fields and at the
carpenters bench and by lay
ing brick, and doing domestic
service. One other mistake
that was made, when the public
school system was inaugurated,
not quite fifty years ago, you
was given the same course of
study that was given to the
white people, and the white peo-
pie had been for centuries work
ing out these courses; you
should have begun where the
white people begun and gradu-
ally worked up to the present
system. The great majority of
your people must earn their liv-
ing by doing manual and indus
trial labor, and l am doing all
that can to give the negro
youths the benefit of public
help along industrial and agri-
cultural lines. / have visited
Hampton Institute, and Tusko-
gee several times, for the sole
purpose of getting information
so that l may be able to cor
rectly establish industrial
schools along the lines that they
are operated. The more than
100000 negroes in this state can
be an important asset to the
state, and the more they are
trained along lines that prepare
them to do such work that will
make them independent citizens,
the more will they be respected
by all citizens and the richer
will our state be as whole. We
want the negro to become too
Industrious, and too clean to
live in a shack and shanties, but
to get good homes, and keep
them clean, then the better
class of people for whom they
are to work will NOT onlv nav

the negro teacher and other ne
groes in Jackson county during
the last thirty years. He helped
to organize the first county in

teachers to meet. He congrat-
ulated the work that has been

that in too many cases you

mong you that class, then the
better white people will ever

way possible to lift yourself UP"
State Superintendent Cook
asked DR.. J. G.. Robinson to say
a few words. DR.. Robinson
said:
"You white gentlemen can
not appreciate how much these
negro teachers thank you for
the honest and straightforward
advice you have given them to-
day. A great mistake was
made with the negro immediate
ly after the war. He was given
work and places that he ought
to be given only as he became
competent to hold them. His
education has been backward,
and as a result find that in the
North that ninety per cent OF
the negroes that are caught in
the clutches of the law are a
class of negroes who left the
South with a mistaken notion
of conditions there. | want to
assure you that | mingle with
all classes of the race, and the
politician has done us much
harm by proclaiming that the
negro seeks social equality. No,
the negro does not think about
social equality. He knows that
the lines are drawn. What the
teachers and preachers are try
ing to do is, we want to teach
our people sobriety, honesty, in
dustry and have them so con-
duct themselves as to get the
help and protection of the bet
ter class of white people, so
that we may live in peace and
harmony, and enjoy the fruits
of our toll.
We want the better class of
white people to come to our res
cue when we are misrepresent-
ed, by putting out of business
such joints as are run on the
streets of our cities that are
disgrace to common society. The
law is in the hands of the white
man, and when dance halls are
open on the public highway, and
dirty and filthy songs and
dances are INDUCED in, they
corrupt all, and cause the white
people to look upon us all alike,
but we are powerless to stop
them.
Arkansas is a Garden of E.
den for the negro, and with such
men as our county superintend-
ent, and State Superintendent
