JOURNAL
THE FIRST LEGISLATURE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
OF THE UNITED STATE
FRS SPECIAL SESSION
80 1856
10 N Al
Continued from yesterday

MRS. MILLIN: Yesterday / visited ST. Croix on the
occasion of the dedication of the School and when the cere-
monies were over a gentleman asked me to try and talk with
other members over here and see what can be done for DR..
Cotton. l told him that we had received some petitions and
that / didn't even know the people and he said we'll, / can
tell you that there are lots Of people over here who want
Dr.. Cotton. Perhaps Member Carroll can tell us something
on that.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Nothing has come to us from
the people in st. Thomas or St. John to indicate that Cotton
is the great fellow that the petition from St. Croix seems to
indicate. Is it not very strange that here in ST. Thomas where
he spends most Of his time, here in st. Thomas where the
majority Of the employees in the Education Department are,
that we have not even yet, even though we have understood
that a petition was circulated, received a single word or line.
Do you have any doubt that if l were to send out a petition
today or morrow that we can get perhaps 500 or more names
against.
MR.. CARROLL: Mr.. President, in answer to what Sena-
tor Milin said, let me say that the gentleman who spoke with
her has never discussed this matter with me although We
meet quite often and discuss other matters. He did not see
it fit to discuss this with me.
Mr.. RODRIGUEZ: Mr.. President, do you know if any
Virgin Islander applied for the position Of Commissioner
of Education?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: | don't know. None of US
knows anything that happens in Government House. At
speak for myself. I don't know.
MR.. CARROLL: Mr. President, may Task if any public
notice has been issued concerning the positions being vacant?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: We'll, don't think that people
apply for positions of that sort by formal application CAT
least l don't think it has been the practice) For instance, I
don't think that Mas applied for his position; I don't think
any of those fellows applied for the position, they were simp-

lily picked for them. You don't apply for positions Of those
sorts.
Mr.. RODRIGUEZ: Mr.. President, it seems to me that
an application is the only way Of having a persons attention
directed to a particular person.
M F. | am sorry have to speak on this sub
ject again. But I guess every member here remembers well
that when Mr.. Cotton was about to come to the island the
Governor told us that we were fortunate to have a man of
DR.. Cotton's calbre coming to the Virgin Islands; that the
man was making a personal sacrifice. AS one member of the
Legislature always say, you cannot rely too strongly on any
thing the Governor says because he doesn't seem to be very
familiar with the truth. Well, it caused this Legislature to
go out of its way to get DR.. Cottons record. We found that
DR.. Cotton was in a School much smaller than what he will
have to contend with here, and his salary at that time, up
to when he left in December, was $4,000 a year. If this was
the great, wonderful educator that the Governor was telling
Us about, don't you think that he would have secured a bet
ter job in continental United States where he could pet this
$1,000 that he is seeking down here in these little Virgin
Islands?
Mr.. President, l believe we will be making one of the
greatest mistakes to even reconsider the appointment of DR..
Cotton. DR.. Cotton, to date, regardless Of what anybody may
say, hasn't shown any supeior ability to what we have had
heretofore. No, you can tell us all about he was graduated
from this college and the other college and SO on but that
is not the thing that counts; it takes a little more than that
for teaching. Teaching is an art, my dear friends, but DR.. Cot
ton has demonstrated more than on one occasion that he is
a man what has been stepped in race hatred and for that rea-
son, My dear friends, ! am cautioning those of you who voted
for Dr.. Cotton to abstain from doing SO if his nomination
again comes before this body. You will be doing a great
harm not only to your children and my children but to the
entire community. We don't want race to be preached to our
Children in school. When a man is going to say look at these
books here-look at the faces-al white, we're going to
change that, we are going to have negro faces in all our books.
My dear friends we are not accustomed to that thing in the
Virgin Islands. Let him go back to the mainland where he
can preach that kind Of thing, but not in these Virgin Islands.
THE VICE PRESIDENTS: DR.. Cotton has said that he
has one distinction, and he also talks that he missed being
president, he said, of Tuskegee by one vote. Well, he has
