of the very best friends | ever had
worked side by side with me on the
farm. We plowed together. He was
poor, but honest and ambitious. His
name is Elmer Wallace. He will grad
ua'e in June from that great school
in Oberlin and will finish the agricul-
tural course which is the best that
Ohio is able to give. He is worthy of
the respect and admiration of any
man for he is highly educated,
splendid type of citizen, and his only
possession at the start was honesty
and ambition"
Senator R. L. Stockard Of Benton
County, Representative Scott and
others also spoke. Each member was
simply amazed to find such splendid
institution built up in so short a time
and actually doing the work which
many older schools with large ,appro-
priations have failed to accomplish.
The speech of Senator Stockard
was one offering some sound advice
to the students. "You were not pro-
vided this fine school simply that you
might have an education, but because
through OH the state desires that the
little boy and girl who will never be
able to get here shall be elevated and
lifted up. 1t is proposed to use you
as an instrument to reach the many
little fellows who might otherwise
fail to secure what they are entitled
to. You see then, it is highly impor-
tant that you take advantage of your
opportunities and fit youself so that
when you go back to these boys and
girls. YOU will be able to render the
highest service to not only your race
but your state. We, of the SiXtieth
General Assembly, are here to adjust
/ the affairs of the State of Tennessee,
and in doing so shall look out for your
! interests, and you can be satisfied
that we shall not forget you and State
Normal.
Need More Normals.
Representative Scott declared: i
see such splendid work being done
here that I feel that what we need
is another State Normal in East Ten
nessee and still another in West Ten
pessee. | hope the time is not far off
when you shall have increased appro-
priations, and am sure that Tepnes,
see will not be behind any other state
} in providing all the money needed for
the proper education of its colored
citizens.
Among those who composed the
party who went direct from the State
Capital were:
Legislators and Visitors.
