have as the result one daughter, who
is being educated.
/ know you have heard of Prof.
w. H. A. Howard, and you have read
about him, because he is direct sue
cessor to Prof N. B. Young, as pres
ident of the A. & M. college here. He
has worked his way Up. He came
into the world via Columbus, Ca, and
attended the public schools Of Mont
gomery, Ala, and then took special
work in private school. He was one
of the boys who had to work his way
up in life and earn his education, and
/ am informed that he served as an
apprentice in a factory in Montgom-
cry. and from there he served for two
years in the same city, Montgomery.
as an apprentice in masonry. This
gave him sufficient money to get in
the Georgia State College in 1892 and
finished the normal course there in
1893, and got his Bachelors degree in
1901.
Now what else? Well, he went to
Harvard in Cambridge, Massachu-
sets. But ! must not fail to tell you
that while in college he taught in the
industrial department, and built up a
splendid painting division, and he was
the man who organized the cadets Of
the school, becoming cadet battalion,
Of the school, and he was made the
Major by the faculty. He received
his Masters degree in 1907, and upon
his graduation heard the call from
the A. & M. college here, and an
swered it. He was commander of the
Cadets here, taught history, was pro-
fessor Of Mathematics and director Of
mechanic arts department. All these
years he has filled the position, and
was loyal supporter OF President
Young. have been here a number
of times, and have found him holding
up the arms of the president. He
would always seek to know the wishes
of the president, and then carry them
out to the letter. So that when Pres
ident Young resigned to take the place
at the head Of Lincoln University.
Jefferson City, Mo-, DR.. Howard was
selected by the Board his successor.
! am proud Of him, because he has
won his place in the state, and is one
of the finest men l know Of in the
school room. He was the best man
to succeed DR.. Young. He has served
as president of the Florida State
Teachers Association and filled other
positions in that organization, and al
present is the treasurer OF the National
Teachers Association. He stands
high in the educational world, and is
doing much to bring out his school.
He is putting the school on the map,
and viii do well. They have sent a
fine exhibit to the Tampa Fair, and the
daily paper Of Tallahassee has the for
lowing to say about it:
The students Of the "A. & M. col
lege for Negroes did honor to them
selves when they sent to the fair at
Tampa work representing a number
Of phases Of their activities at the col
Iege.
Among the fine things sent were
a splendid farm wagon. electrical
work machine Shoo v.,ork fa;Ior;oo
articles, cabinet work, from the me
chanic arts department, and fine
dresses and fancy cooking from the
home economics department.
"The citizens are invited to inspect
the work when visiting the fair or
when it is III place at the college"

HAYES WILL APPEAL CASE
IN U. S. SUPREME COURT

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. t.
Edmund A. Hayes was sworn in be-
fore the United States supreme court
at Washington on Monday, in order
that he might qualify to appear as an
attorney in that court when he files
an appeal from a decision handed
down by the court of errors and
appeals several years ago.
Attorney Hayes represents six or
more defendants convicted following
liquor raids, fined 81, ,000 each and
sentenced to serve thirty days in
jail. The attorney in making his
appeal holds that the eighteenth
amendment nullifed the crimes act
under which the conviction was OBJ
tanned. Considerable interest is be-
ing shown in this case by members
of the bar and the outcome is eager
iy awaited.
