DIR. Collier always felt that
the college, despite the strug-
gleS,, hardships, difficults. and
setbacks, would live. He had
great faith in the college, and
the men and women of both
races. He wanted to continue
in the work even after he had
taken i'll. He gave his life to the
work, he gave his life for the
work.
He was an honest man. He was
an humble man. He was well
trained for the job he had. He
was true and never wavered. He
gave his best to a cause that many
of us may have given up long ago.
He was an inspiration to all people
with whom he came in contact.
He was willing to work and did
work in a cause which ranks him
as one of the greatest men of this
generation.
Hundred gathered the other
day at Florida Normal to pay
their last respects to DIR. Col
ier. The services were impress
sive. Many nice words were
spoken. Many lovely floral Of
ferings were brought and pIac-

resting beneath the sod on the
campus he loved so well and
worked for SO hard.

He heard not the words spoken
Tuesday nor did he smell the frag-
rance of the flowers carried to his
bier. He saw not the hundreds
gathered to pay honor to HI:
memory.
But he would smilingly look down
from above upon all of us if we
pledge today to carry forward the
work of educating the young and
old as well of Florida Normal, and
then carry forward our pledges ir
the manner the Master would want
us to.
The minister was right. His life
was a life Of suffering and sacri-
fice." He wore himself out in the
cause of Christian Education.

IN THE PASSING of Dr.. Ma
than w. Collier, president of the
Florida Normal College at st. Aug
ustine, for more than 40 years, this
state and nation, white and black
alike, lose a great influence for
good. An example of a fine and
wholesome life, one of service to
others. has ended.
The minister who gave the
eulogy in the chapel at the
college this past Tuesday said
something that struck us, and
something we will remember
long. He said: Ellis life was
life of suffering and sacrifice"
He was So truthful, as DIR. Col
lier, known by us through the
years, wore himself out for
Florida Normal.
Had he been one to take it easy,
caring for himself and his health,
taking time out for vacation per-
iods, rest, recreation and others of
the comforts of life, he may have
been living today. But he was nos
that type of leader. He went here,
there and everywhere, all in the
interest of the college he headeds
and the youth of his race.
DR.. Collier went into the
highways, the by-ways and all
around, he carried a message, ask
ing help for his boys and girls
that the work at the college may
not suffer. He solicited thousands
of dollars each year the past forty
years to apply to the work of the
college. While most of us slept he
was lying awake nights, planning
what he might do the next day for
his boys and girls of Florida Nor

Among the items up for discussion
at the Partridge town board meeting
Tuesday afternoon was the very ap-
propriate one of snowplowing. AS
the township has already used up all
funds available for this purpose, and
more besides, it was decided to leave
it up to the people themselves to make
further donations for this purpose.
There are still a number of county
roads to be opened and it may be a
week or more before plows will be
available for use on township roads.
AS soon as a pillow can be secured for
this task the matter of financing the
work will be taken up and donations
may be asked. If the funds can not
be raised the roads will remain closed
unless opened otherwise.
