Il. l.. Blackshear. president OF the
Prairie View (Tex.) State Normal and
Industrial college for Negroes, an.
swered those critics of education for
the Negro who say that education OF
the black man only makes him have
less regard for law and order. In
opening the commencement exercises
proper Professor Blackshear gave
short history of the institution.
Some white people express the be-
lief that education of the Negro makes
him less honest and less upright" said
Professor Blackshear. This institu-
tion was established as an agricultural
college In 1878. and the next year was
made a normal institution. In her his.
tory she has graduated LII students
and has given certificates to teach
to more than twice that number. Fig
ures show that not one of our gradu-
ates has committed capital offense
against the peace and dignity of the
state; less than 1 per cent of our
graduates have committed the least
misdemeanor, and not one of them
has dn dNl VI
against the white people OF Texas.
1T is another particularly encour-
aging fact that since this schools
establishment there has never been
the slightest tinge of friction or hard
feeling between the white people OF
this county and community and the
students, faculty and officers of the
Prairie View institute. In view OF
these statements, which are indisput'
able facts, do not think THAI any
one can consistently say that the
proper kind OF education does any
thing except encourage the Negro in
his attempt to live better and more
useful life"
Commencement exercises at Prairie
View came to an end with the pres
entation Of diplomas to the graduates
by Judge John |. Guion. president OF
the board of directors of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college. and the
Prairie View normal. The presence
OF large number of white people at
the commencement exercises at Prai-
rie View during the entire week has
been the source OF much pleasure to
the members OF the board of directors.
Leading citizens OF Hampstead, Wal
Ter and counties surrounding the
Prairie View normal are enthusiastic
in their praise OF the institution and
the work It is accomplishing.-Hou
