play and full Of sun shine and myrth,
there his heart Is also The love of
children in ths heart OF the writer
is not confined to the narrow circle
beyond that circle, however, 1t is
strong as it could be in the family
circle, but what causes it to spread
out for other children has never been
successfully accounted for any more
than the cause Of one flower absorb
ing the red rays Of the sun, and
another the pink, nor the varigated
colors, and the beautiful color alb
sorbed in the Easter lily, nor why
the ripping waves Of the ocean make
different impression on the minds of
different persons, or why one sees
more beauty in the tincures painted
in the gorgeous colors of the sett-
ing sun as he paints all nature with
his brush and easel in the sky just
above the western horizon and all
the objects are. tinted and bespangled
and some of those scenes still re-
main in the vision Of the writer
when he was bare footed boy and
he endeavored to explain them to
the old people on the plantation,
who shook their heads and said there
is Another Fool" for the want Of
sense. =.
But Mrs. Lindley has done her full
share in the efforts which she has
put forth in the education and train
ing of Miss Mary Hall who finished
her college at the Howard Univer-
sity, taking high rank after COM
pleting the higs school course in the
Dallas high school. She now ranks
high as teacher in the schools Of
Atlantic City.
Miss Pearl Randall and Miss Lee
Virgie Randall finished at the Dallas
high school, and Virgie Randall took
a more extensive course at the Praire
View Normal Institute. All three of
the girls became teachers.
Mrs. Lindley is the oldest graduate
of the Dallas high school, being an
alumna of the first graduating class,
and then afterward finishing at
Prairie View. She has taught in
the city schools for more than twenty
years.
Mrs. Adele B. Day, who is at pres
ent connected with the Ninth Ward
school is graduate of the Oberlin
College, school which takes high
rank. While in this institution, she
specialized in music while she was
taking the regular classical college
course. She received her B. S. de-
gree well up in the rank. She taught
Latin, and Algebra in the Paul Quinn
College. She also taught in the
Corsicana schools for four years and
likewise in the Tyler City Schools.
Mrs. Day is woman of strong con-
victions and conscious moral scruples,
working at all times for the advance
ment of the young whether in school
or in their homes, she has a word
for them. She has not thought it
beneath her dignity to go on the
Sabbath to the jails and sing the
songs Of Zion to those confined in
the prison walls, and to read the
Bible to them.
Mrs. Day has made much sacrifice
in the education Of her daughter,
Miss Mamie, now finishing up her
Senior year at Howard University.
She deserves the highest encomiums
for the efforts put forth through her
energy and self denial that her
daughter both in the Dallas high
school, and in the great Howard
University. Miss Mamie. is push
ing the regular teachers college
course, has made a remarkable ca
reer as student, gaining half of
school term after recovering from
severe case of sickness Mrs. Day
has also model teacher in the night
schools, handling the elderly class of
persons seeking Improvement in
| these schools.
Miss Tina 0. Boswell is another
teacher well fitted for special work
along the line of practical drawing
both life and from objects. The work
performed by her in this line of art
is praise worthy. She is a graduate
of the Colored high school of this
city and the Prairie View Normal.
Perhaps her greatest power lies in
the rule and control of unruly large
pupils of rough and uncomfortable
temper, for large boys who would
be to common teacher and give
deal of unnecessary trouble, will
bow to her as though she carried a
magic wan in her hand and in
some mystic manner win them over
to her without word, where another
teacher would fail completely. This
is what is known as tact, and for
better name, we would call it
heart power expressed in a deep
knowledge of pedagoric and scychic
laws. She is educating her brother
Dewey Boswell At Wiley University.
She is a teacher in the night schools.
Perhaps Mrs. A. B. West has taught
more scripture incidentally to her
classes than any other teacher that
the writer is acquainted with in his
reach and observation. Mrs. West
is graduate of the Normal course
of the Fisk University, and teacher
of wide experience. SoIDe years ago,
she took a special course at the
Martha Vineyard summer school to
qualify herself for the great work
of teaching. More of our teachers
would take these summer courses
if their salaries were increased, what
would be expended in the way of
salaries would acruse to the children
and thereby increase the wealth of the
city and build up pride IN her
great bulwark.
