 We, the ex-serNice men who are taking vocational training at state secondary agricultural school. located at Hamilton, Ala. having read in the Birmingham newspapers the criticism of Director Forbes, directed against number of such schools wish to state that we do not know the con ditions of the other schools for Vo- eational training. but we do know that no such conditions exist in tn" school at Hamilton as mentioned by Director Forbes.
 "No conditions exist here that 'r@- late to slavery and none that arc criminal We have more privileges in this school than the regular students that are not vocational students. We emphatically deny that the reports made to Director Forbes are true. He has been misinformed as to conditions at Hamilton. All ex-service men here are well pleased with the school. We have good teachers and we are doing good work The citizenship or the town of Hamilton is above re- proach and we the ex-servtce men or the vocational school at Hamilton' Ala, resent such reports and say they are wholly untrue, so far as the Ham ilton school Is concerned.
