Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association, 1896 Mr. President; Members of the Department of Superintendence; Ladies and Gentlemen: As the representative of the people and teachers of the state, it gives me unbounded pleasure to give you welcome to Florida. The same cordial greeting is extended to you who have journeyed almost across the continent from north to south as to our immediate neighbors wrestling with problems and conditions similar to our own. We come together in council to confer about matters alike dear to us, and since the country is to be what the schools shall make it. To determine how we can best secure the perpetuity of our republican institutions and render wiser and happier the people of every condi tion in our common country. We admire the educational enthusiasm of our brethren from the North, expect to profit by learning their way to success in popular education, and are especially glad of the opportunity to reciprocate some of the kind treatment enjoyed at their hands while among them on occasions similar to this. After visiting your section and learning more of your people, we have always found ourselves more in sympathy and in love with you. We now rejoice that we have been able to entice so many of you down into the far South, where we will arrange for you to come often in midwinter unless the designs of some of us fail, hoping that you may be affected by a better knowledge of the South and her people, and the peculiar problems confronting them, as we were by a better knowledge of you. The white people of every section of our great country are proud of a common ancestry who fought side by side to leave to us the heritage of the best government the world ever saw; and it is now worthy the ambition and efforts of teachers, who are responsible for the intelligence and largely the prejudices of the next generation, to look to the protection of American institutions, and see that the sons are as united as were their fathers. The welfare of no other race or other nationality should entice the South into any alliance detrimental to the North, nor should the North forget the anglo-saxon blood of the South in her efforts to promote the interest of any people under the sun.
