The broad ax., 1921-03-26

he is surrounded by hne faculty and
is doing a good work. He is just do
ing things, and he is taking his place
among the men of the age in which
he lives, and win have a place in his
tory. Not a talker, but doer.
1t was a source of pleasure for me to
be.with the people in and around Tai
lahassee, and il was on a Tuesday
afternoon that I toted myself down to
the s. A. Ia stable to get started for
another part Of the world. Well the
iron horse came in e little late, and
got his human cargo, and started out,
going but a short distance, when he
seemingly got tired Of snorting so
much and stopped still 1t was a long
time before he would move-in fact
he just kept on pOuting, and they had
70 get another one, which made US
about two hours late. But the next
morning found me in Jacksonville, and
/ went direct TO Goodman Institute,
and found them busy there dishing out
education Then over to the house of
President John E. Ford, D. D., who
has just resigned from Leland Univer-
sity headship.
1 have told you so much about DR..
Ford until it is all old now. He is
devoting his time to Bethel Baptist
Institutional Church. He is a doer, and
president of a convention in Florida.
But time win not permit me to discuss
the convention just now, or church
work, for I am just as. full as full can
be, and hope to let you have some
Of the information have gathered
from time to time. 1t seems that hell
has turned loose somewhere.
Ny people are doing some good bust
ness in Jacksonville, but it Smoothing
TO what it is going to be before we get
through with this world. I had the
pleasure Of shaking hands with Major
Ramsey, who was at Tuskegee Insti-
tute for so many years, but is now en-
gagged in another big work in the South.
He is devoting his time to uplift work
Then a few minutes talk with Prof. |
N. W. Collier, of ST. Augustine, Fla,
and he is some man believe me. The
more saw of him the better I felt.
Getting through with Jacksonville |
for little while for am going back |
TO the place, was soon on the S. A.
L. headed for this place, Live Oak, Fla,
where I am to talk to the people on
Founders Day Of the Florida Memorial
College, with Prof. A. C. Outright,
President. This young man came into
the world via Greensboro, Ga, and got |
his education at Walker Baptist Insti-
tute, starting way back in the country,
and getting on some more at Morehouse
College, Atlanta, Ca, and then study
ing on some more at the Uni
versity Of Chicago, where he will
yet get some more. He won him
wife, and believe me he is doing some
real good work here in this place, and
his wife is right by his side.
