house. Biddle, Livingstone, Roger

Let US rally to the institutions that
are reaching our people and prepar-
ing them for usefulness. Whether it
be a college education, high school,
business or trade. or professional, let
the education be practicable. Let IT
be something that we can use every
day and reap results. We need to be
educated right to our people and not
away from them. The masses should
be able to get close enough to hand
us a red apple.

letter.
I think l was down in Texas, with
my "cussing" shoes on. made trip
over to Dallas from Fort Worth, saw
the jail and the officer who refused to
let a mob have a prisoner. Then !
beat it back to Fort Worth, and then
made my way to Oklahoma City,
where remained few hours, leaving
there for MeAlester, and spending a
few hours in the city behind lock and
key, / beat it away to Muskogee. l
am sure you will want to know what
l was doing locked up for a few
hours, and if were doing anything at
all it was feasting. -
Reaching the city, / went to the
home of Rev. Frank Motley, and had
a chat with his wife, Mrs. Ethel Mot
ley, and then ] took hold of the hello
box, asked for the penitentiary, and
had them to connect me with the re-
formatory for boys In this talked
with Prof. Lily, telling him that was
in town, and in a few minutes he had
his automobile car carriage right
down there to tote me out to the
school 1t was early in the morning.
Out / went, and soon he had one Of
the most eatingest breakfasts for me,
and into my eternity IT went.
OF course, when / went in the place,
they turned the key for IT is kept
locked all the time After eating !

l went until HIS when got up and
talked to the boys, and when this-was
over, we beat it to Rev. w. R. Jack
sons for dinner They have there in
that institution about 100 boys and the
aim is to save them. They were on
the wrong road, and they had to be
saved from ruin. In this place they
are taught in the common English
branches by good teachers, and then
they are given a vocational training.
but nothing to what it is going to be
in the future I want to congratulate
Prof. Lily on the good work he IS
doing.
