Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Trustees at Their Meeting By Peabody aid I have increased the number of colored Normals from 26 in 1896, to 33 in 1897, and there is a three months' Normal for the colored teachers of eastern Arkansas yet to be held. The records of the colored Normals show that out of an enrolled teaching force of in 1896, we have had at the colored Normals teaghers. These have been under competent instructors, supervised by myself in person, and the good that has been accomplished is inestimable. Not only have the strength and usefulness of the colored teachers been improved by presenting to and requiring of them the knowledge and use of better methods and systematic study, but there has also been produced a better and higher grade of good feeling between the citi zens of both races. Each colored Normal of the 33 was daily attended by many of our best white citizens, who gathered to see the work and to encourage the colored man in his efforts to reach higher standards of effectiveness in scholarship and in manhood, When we consider that the registered school-teaching force in the State was' in 1896, black and white, and that the number attending the Normals this year was the question arises, what caused the large increase in membership at the Normals? It can truthfully be answered that it was due to the invigo rating effect of the county Normal system for the past three years, aided and assisted so generously by your benevolent agency.
