The broad ax., 1918-03-16

gram. Now why all thisi tell you
i have never seen anything like it in
all my life.
The afternoon was for special exer-
cises and addresses, and you can Z guess
who it was that made that address. OF
course you cant bat It was the Vice
President of the United States, Thomas
r Marshall, and he was introduced by
the Governor Of Florida Sidney ].
Cats. On the same program were Dr..
J. W. E Bowen, Hon, Emmett ]. Scott,
and Bishop Hurst. The most important
part was performed by Bishop Hurst.
When he introduced Viee-President
Marshall, he was given an ovation, and
he commenced his address in the follow
ing manner:
"I,m not worrying about the war.
We are going to win the war-wh 1t by
answering the Kaiser's battle cry of
deutschland Uebsr Allies" with
"Duetchlsnd Inter Allies" Business
will take care of itself. There win al
ways be some one to look after bust
ness Our main concern is to see that
when the world returns to its permanent
condition our republic win be led by
men who will preserve to the future
generations the priceless heritage our
fathers gave to US. Our boys are going
'over there some Of them win never
come baek-perhaps q whole generation
Of young manhood win disappear"
wish you could have heard the rest
of that address. II was one more great
speech, and we were all glad to hear it.
It means that there is to be on the map
another Tuskegee, but this viii be alone
for the making of mothers, for the max
ing Of home life for the race, for il is
school for girls only. God bless Mrs.
Bethune.
Then followed the Governor Of Flor
ida who told the people a few things
himself, for he was able to do that.
This Governor advocated education as
the solution of the great American
problems and for a democracy. But
then shall not be able to tell you all
the things he said or even thought. The
Mayor of the town spoke, and in his
opening remarks he declared that never
before in the history of Daytona had
such an eminent company gathered ON
q stage. He dealt with the benefits Of
Mrs.. Bethune to DaytOna, and said they
were all proud Of her.
Now esminf back. Mr.. Scott missed
connection but was there for the even
ing, but DR.. Bowen cleaned up in his
speech. wish you could have heard
him, for il would have made you happy
also.
That evening Bishop John Hurst came
back with an address that surpassed
anything we had ever heard He was
the speaker Of the speakers, for his .ad-
iress was the dedicatory address. He
vent back just thirteen years, when the
school was on paper. he told how Mrs
Bethune entered the city with $1.5o to
tart q school, and how she was ap-
preached with opposition and diseour-
lesments, but she had decided that the
'ehool must be . 60 and she was going
% place on the altar her own life. She
lad made up mind TO win and win she
lid a. Bishop Hurst told them
He spoke on the making Of . home,
md the part played by women in this-
BE could zee q great people lifted up
through the home, through noble strong
md noble womanhood. he told about
he woman, unframed, with her clothes
pinned up to keep them from falling on
IF her, and many other good things
BE said that the man who was dis
in the face Of the accomplish
nents of Mrs.. Bethane should 20 way
baek and ut down Il vas q wonder
