MOST HELPFUL IN HISTORY

its inception at Winston-Salem, N. C,
ten years ago, through the sessions at
Capon Springs, Virginia, and on upward.
At first but a small and informal com
pany, seriousness and intelligence making
its faith persistent. Because it was seri
ous, its talk, by an instinctive necessity,
had to do with work ; and because it was
intelligent, its work sought the form and
force of executive organization, and it
obeyed no artificial passion when the in
formal body resolved that the executive
board should be brought into existence,
but rather took a step to meet necessities.
Mr. Murphy referred to the fact that
the first gathering was at the suggestion
of Dr. Edward Abbott of Cambridge,
Mass., and he referred feelingly to others
who were active in the early work, dwell
ing at length upon the work of President
Ogden from 1900 to the present time, and
what he did to perpetuate the organiza
tion at a critical period in its existence.
Continuing he said :
What then are the methods and policies
of this Board'? When I say that they are
such as would come naturally from the
men whom I have named L have already
defined their essential spirit. In their
details they have arisen, as did the Board
itself, out of the facts of the situation and
from the challenge of the things that de
mand doing. .
If the Board spoke much at the first.
concerning the data of illiteracy, it was
because the task was unescapable. The
ravity of our popular needs was not
popularly understood. The facts were
down in the books, but they were not
known among the people. Someone had
to tell the whole truth, had to tell it many
times and by many methods. A large
share in this work devolved unon the
Bureau of Publication established by the
Board at Knoxville, Tenn., under Dr.
Charles W. Dabney, then President of the
University of Tennessee, and Prof. P. P.
Claxton, Superintendent of the Bureau.
At first the broad recital of the facts
sometimes brought resentment. But
men soon came to recognize that the
greater reproach is not illiteracy, but
ignorance of it and indifference to it.
The illiterate masses of our white popu
lation are a pure and vigorous stock.
They are not the decadent but the un-
started. Their promise is illimitable. To
tell of their needs was no pleasant enter
prise. Even.now, an occasional reaction
ary spirit is heard to declare that because
he esteems and loves them, and because
they are better than mSny of the literate
population of other sections, the move
ment that reveals their ignorance and in
sist upon their education, is to be resisted.
The answer of the South as a whole, is
that because she esteems and love
them their children are entitled to the
broadest opportunities and the best ad
vantages wnicn lire may oner mat any
movement wnicn reveals their ignorance
in order to bring them knowledge, which
would increase their knowledge not upon
the ground of their incapacity, but upon
the ground of their value to society
which asserts their right to the world's
best, and the world's right to their best,
is a movement to be commended and re-
enforced.
That is then today, the' answer of the
South: and how far this Board has
helped the South to make that 'answer I
am willing to leave to the judgment and
the memories of " the great body of our
Southern teachers. That the facts are
known, and that there is some general
appreciation of their compelling force,
that they can be admitted frankly and
discussed publicly even by the candi
date for public office marks a distinct
achievement of our average public opin
ion within the past ten years. This
Board I need hardly say has been by
no means the sole agency of so marked
a change. But the change is here : and
that .we have labored for it, in season
and out of season, lies broadly upon the
pages of our history. We have believed
that when the people of the South shall
once really know their needs, shall see
them clearly and face them squarely,
they will meet them with a redemption
in which all reproach shall be annulled :
for peoples, like individuals, are judged
in the great assize not in any degree by
their difiiculties, but rather by the man
ner of their dealings with them.
In conjunction with the South' s atti
tude toward the masses of the untaught,
theie arose also the problem of the
teacher . If the people are to be taught,
the teacher must be trained. Unon
meager salaries of $25.00 to $40.00 a
month, for but a brief session of from
three months to five, the teacher of the
school, had not been able
to live or to so equip herself as to gain
for herself a better livelihood, and for
her profession a larger share in the in
terest, respect and support of the com
munity. The worth was in the teacher,
but its appeal was not potent with the
public mind. It was not seen nor under
stood. Popularly speaking, the truth of
the case was undiscovered.
How was the public mind of the South
to be informed? How were we to be
made to see, with clear and understand
ing eyes, the figure of this worker upon
our essential task standing patiently
at the center of our perplexities of Church
and State shaping the public mind of
tomorrow, yet denied the public enthusi
asm of today ; giving the people knowl
edge yet dwelling among us as unknown ;
founder of our hopes yet a prisoner of
our indillerence ; a creator of our only
wealth the intelligence of our masses
yet the first to sutler by its loss and the
last to inherit from its bounty.
At Knoxville at the University of Ten
nessee, the teachers of the South were
gathered for six weeks of summer train
ing. Two thousand were in attendance.
They were gathered from all our States.
They formed upon that noble hilltop in
that year and in succeeding years a com
pany which helped the mind of the Na
tion visualize the significance of the
teacher in the common schools of the
South. In that change of environment,
feeling the ioy of comradeship, and un
der instructions and inspirations that
came from new scenes and from one
another, they were able to forget some
things and to learn others. There had
been summer schools before; there
have been others since. The method
has its limitations as well as its advan
tages. But all these schools and tha
