From Detroit Mr.. Prillerman went
to Ann Arbor, Mich, to visit the state

agricultural students.
On his way back to Institute, w. Va,
he stopped over a few days in Column

Maude Baker is principal. 1t will be
remembered that this Is the only
school in Columbus especially for the
education of Negro youth. 1t is an
experiment in the section Of Columbus
where many Of our people reside. Miss
Baker Is doing very efficient work as
the principal of this school. Mr.. Pril-
