Holmes of Tougaloo college, at Tougaloo, Missi: sippi, will be the speaker next Wed nesday, following the luncheon mee the Woman's the Winnetka Congregational church. This school has won and continued to hold the confidence of the General Education board (trustees of the Rockefeller millions for education), which has offered this missionary in stitution more than it has offered any other negro school in Mississippi, total of $100,000. The reason for this, it is explained, is that though popu- lated by more negroes than New Hampshire and Vermont have inhabi tants, Mississippi has no publicly-sup ported standard negro normal school. Tougaloo college goes far toward supplying that lack. It offers negro high school graduates a two-year col- lege teacher training course. For its 1,000,000 negroes, Mississippi lacks a standard college. Again, Tougaloo comes nearest to supplying that lack. offering a full college course to col lege preparatory graduates of high schools. Mississippi now wants and urgentl needs, by the hundred, -college-pre pared and normal-school-prepared negro principals and teachers for their own schools. Tougaloo, if adequatel: ing of Society of enlarged, could supply this demand The State Department of Education has set forth this fact. Erected i: Mississippi, within the past few years, are: (1) "Rosenwald Rural Schools," costing more than two million dollars. ($500,000 of this is from Julius Rosen wald of Chicago, and over $1,500,000 is from Mississipians), and (2), man) town and city public school buildings. costing two million more. But this money will have been used inefficient unless the principals and teachers in these buildings are adequately trained. Some idea of the influence of this school can be had from the fact that there are 500 alumnae of this one school in Chicago alone--doctors, teachers, lawyers, ministers, business men, home-makers, serving their race more efficiently and making better citizens, for their opportunities at Tougaloo. A graduate of this school will sing during the program at the Woman's Society meeting Wednesday. Beauty Culture ELM ST.
