 UNIVEREI'EY OF TENNESSEE. .

ornos OF THE PRESIDENT (
‘ JAN 5 1901 '
Dear Sir: - 4. ' 1
_ . The inclosed leaflet was prepared to suggest to the

1people of Tennessee and the South a line of thought appropriate
for the last Christmas of the century. I have used Tennessee as
an illuStration. because her educational conditions represent the
average of those in the South and it is my own state. The conclu—
sions apply with equal force to every Southern state, and it is A
hoped that others will make the applications to them.

Many explanations and excuses for the sad condition of
our public cohools will occur to the Southern reader; but I had
to deal with facts and felt it my duty to point out the inexora-
ble law of progress even though the demonstration was painful. I
Is it not time to cease discussing the past and making QXplana—
tions for Our unfortunate conditions and to get to work to im—
prove them? If this law is true, if production is as eduCation, . '
how can we eXpect to make any progress if we do not heed it?
How can we expect to be pardoned if we do not strive to live ”
up to it in the future? *

If you approve, will you not, for the sake of the cause,
have this paper'published, discussed and applied? A few copies
can be had for distribution, if desired.
