so Years At Palmer Institute

Quietly Speak Softly" and the
words Thank you If you please,
are school bywords.
The students, ranging in age
from l3 to 16, whether rich OF
poor, are taught first-hand how
to take care of home from cellar
to attic, and cleaning rooms and
taking care of the school lawns
ere frequent chores for tine
youngsters.
But Palmer is more than a
finishing school. It started the
first vocational department for
coloredin the state and today
the students operate a successful
farm where in $50 more than
700 bushels Of corn and $1,000
poundsof lespedeza were raised,
and sweet potatoes produced al
the rate Of 200 bushels to the
acre.

DR.. Brown attended public
and high schools in Cambridge,
and then entered State Normal
School in Salem, Mass, intend
ing to become a Boston school
teacher. But when she graduated
a message from the American
Missionary Association was
awaiting her, asking her to teach
in a small MISSION school in
North Carolina.
Started Teaching
She accepted not knowing
where she would be sent, and
a month later arrived at little
whistle stop called McLeans-
vile and walked four miles along
a dusty road to a little white
church where she was to teach.
She taught and made friends
both colored and white. For she
always remembered her mothers
advice: make friends Of your
white neighbors and they will
help YOU. They did. The first
lumber used to build the church
school was cut down and given
her by two white neighbors
whose sons are now on Palmer s
board Of trustees
After her first year, she re-
turned to Cambridge her head
filled with dreams of establish
ing a colored school. She discuss
ed her plans with her friend and
benefactor, Alice Freeman Pal
mer, president Of Wellesley Col
lege.
Mrs. Palmer soon got her
wealthy friends interested in the
project and money began to
trickle in. In 1902, DR.. Brown
started her school in a converted
backsmith's shed. Later she
named the school in honor ef
her great friend.
Today. DR.. BrowR's fame As
an educator has spread far and
wide and high honors have beer
heaped upon her. She holds sIN
honorory degrees, including
three doctorateS and she has
lectured at more colleges and
universities than she can ever
recall. And each year. she ,ra-

Officials of the three tracks

also felt that the use of these
passes was not in keeping with
