problem that now confronts us is how
to provide accommodations for those
in whom the school through its var-
ious agencies has awakened the spirit
of progress. Room for boys aud room
for girls is the chief need of the
institution in addition to tho reg-
ular aunual appropriation for its
support. It rests with the legislature
of the state to say whether or not
this shall be provided and we there-
fore most earnestly recommend that
an adequate appropriation for two
dormitories one for boys and one for
girls be made.
With a view of encouraging indus-
trial development among the colored
people and of affording them an op-
portunity for technical training an ag
ricultural aud mechanical course of
study has been provided for boys and
a sewing department for girls lias been
established an account of which has
been given in former reports. It
affords us pleasure to state that these
departments have made substantial
progress and have detracted nothing
from the main purpose of the institu-
tion which is to educate teachers. On
the contrary it h is added strength in
another. .
For more definite information rela-
ting to the condition and needs of the
institution you are respectfully re-
ferred to the interesting and instruc-
tive report of Prof. L. C. Anderson.
In conclusion we desire to bear tes
tiniony to the wisdom and prudence
which have characterized the admin-
istration of President Anderson and
the ability and faithfulness with which
he has discharged his duties as the re-
sponsible head of Prairie View Normal
school. Very respectfully
A. J. IIohe
President Board of Directors.
The principal of the school in his
report places the number of pupils at
155 of whom 05 are females.
One student from each senatorial
district and fifteen from tho state at
large are admitted and maintained
free of charge except a small inci-
dental fee. All are subject to the
same rules and enjoy impartial privi-
leges of the instition.
I ' INDUSTRIAL DKI'AKTMKNT.
This department is very popular
and is doing incalculable good in
.rounding out the education needed by
our teachers and in numerous ways
removing prejudices respecting manual
labor and imparting correct views
of the dignity at tacued to tlio tilling
of the soil. The pupils are dnilv
accustomed to a skillful use of knowl-
edge. There aro three sub-industrial de-
partments iu tome one of which every
student receives technical and theo-
retical text book instruction for thirty
minutes daily followed by practical
application of one hour and thirty
minutes.
MKCH ANtCAL DKPAKTMENT.
A class of twenty-ti"3 young men
are now receiving instruction in car-
pentry and elementary mechmics
.under a special instructor iu a well
equipped brick "hop provided wnh all
necessary bench tools aud three irou
lathes worked at present by foot
po er.
The desire is so great to enter this
department that it has been found
necessary to appoiut stttd.-nts here
upon the basis of natural titne s
Many of tho repairs on the premises
are doue by boys iu the shop and the
current expenses of the school are
greatly reduced. The grade of work
done in the shop is highly commenda-
ble and by it many of our young men
are being fitted for lives of practical
usefulness as artisans as well as school
twher.

future. The industrial department
will he further enlarged by a black-
smith shop and other features needed
during this year.
ACKICt UL'KAL DEPARTMENT.
Sixty-two young men are given class
instiuftioo in elementary agriculture
by a special teacher and practical
field work every afternoon. This de-
partment does much in the way of re-
ducing the expense of the boarding
hall by the cultivation of a garden.
Much of the feed required for our
stock hogs and cattle is produced on
our farm. tt .
As far as possible every duty is
made a means of profitable instruc-
tion and respect for honest labor u
instilled at all times.
EXrEKI.MK.NTAL BTATION.
Attached to the agricultural de
partment is a branch ot tne unim
States Experimental Station. Ibis
station is under the local supervision
of the instructor iu agriculture Bub-
ject to the director oi me un.teu
States Experimental Station of Texas.
On tho twenty acres enclosed for this
particular feature more than 4000
fruit forest and ornamental trees and
a number of grape vines have been
planted.
GIHLS' INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
All o( the eirls sixty-one at pres
ent learn domestic economy and re-
ceive theoretical and practical instruc-
tion under the direction of a special
lady teacher who devotes her entire
time to tneircare anu irttining.
Instruction in the industries has
proven beneficial as a means of men
tal discipline ; uesiues ii promoien m
bust health and leads to a feeling of
self reliance.
Our limit to accommodate female
students is wholly inadequate. From
two to four cirls are at present crowded
into a room fifteen by twenty feet.
Bed and study rooms are one aud the
.... . i.
sumo. If tne nest results are to ne oo-
tid ued from education students must
be pleasantly arranged and more con
veniently situated. This subject de-
mands a most liberal consideration
and provisions foraccommodating 100
girls should bo promptly made.
During the past year more than
forty young ladies have made applica-
tion but were unavoidably denied
admisiou for wsftit of sufficient room.
Boys occupy three different two
story frame buildings widely separated.
One of these the old Kirby mansion
has stood for thirty years and is now
very much dilapidated and rapidly be-
coming dangerous. Academic hall is
in such close proximity to this old
frame structure that the whole in-
stitution is in imminent danger of
being burned. These crowded build-
ings should be removed or entirely
torn away both for economic and
sanitary reasons.
Already the increase in attendance
is such that 155 persons are packed
into our dining hall 50x25. Bed and
school rooms are similarly over-
crowded. We are forced to divide our
classes into sections to find recitation
accommodations. Many persons have
been kept away rather than submit t
the unpleasantness of great numbers
Teachers and pupila are forced by
present conditions to live together
an I share alike our inconveniences
More than 100 pay students have
matriculated and the closest economy
is required to maintain 155 persons on
an appropriation for the maintenance
of forty-six state students. By the
excellent management of your honor-
able body such is being done though
at some disadvantage.
The faculty would respectfully sug-
gest for your consideration the wisdom
of increasing the number of state
students.
With the steady increase of the
work shoulJ go a corresponding in-
crease for maintenance permanent
improvements and more adequate ac-
C nnmodations.
It is confidently hoped that nothing
will be Jone to dampen the present
ardor of our people for education but
rather that they be liberally tn-
couraged. To more nearly carry out tho object
and to better do the work of Prairie
View we shall need :

From Our Itegular Co-'espondent.
Wash inuton Jan. 191891.
Mr. Harrison has succeeded by per-
suasion bulldozing and promise of
patronage in getting the Republican
senators to make a last desperate
effort to perpetuate the power of the
Republican party by passing the force
bill and the fight is now on which is
to result either in striking a deadly
blow at the liberty of the American
citizen by the passage of a measure
without a parallel in American annals
or in tho final defeat of the bill.
Finding it impossible to unite the
Republican senators in support of the
revolutionary gag ruin proposed by
Senator Aid rich the Republicans have
adopted the tiring out process and
hope by a continuous night and day
session ot tne senate to succeeu in
compelling the Democrats to accede
to a vote on the bill. This it is not
believed they can do. Ihe session
which began last Friday morning has
been in continuous session ever siiice
except Sunday and is to continue un
til the Republicans tire of it or suc
ceed. The Democrats aro making a
graud fight in talking iigainst time
and express confidence of being able
to win.
How the Democratic senators feel
n this matter may be judged from the
following extract from a speech of
Senator Reagan which reflects the
sentiments of his Democratic col-
leagues and shows that they will never
willingly surrender: "As dear as my
life is to me as uod is my judge if I
could save the American people from
the pending measure by giving up my
liie I would surrender it as freely as I
ever performed any act of my life." It
w is an imposing sight to see benator
R'atran as he stood every feature
showing his earnestness and sincerity
and spoke these words and it was not
surprising that they were greeted by
an outburst oi uearening appiause
from the galleries which Mr. Morton
was quick to reprove by threatening to
have the galleries cleared.
Senator Stewart on Saturday gave
notice of a inotiou to recommend the
election bill with instructions to the
committe to report it back with a pre-
vision for tie election of members of
conirress cn days when no other ele&
tious are held in the several states ;
and this motion may be made the ex-
cuse for getting rid of the bill quietly
when the Republicans discover their
inability to pass it lor H it is recom
mitted to the committee it will never
eet before the senate again.
Notwithstanding their having made
speeches against the force bill sena
tors Teller Walcott and Stewart are
now acting with and voting with their
Republican colleagues in their etlorts
to pass the bill. This is significant
inasmuch as it shows that the Demo
crats need expect no help from Re
publicans in defeating the bill.
Mr. Harrison's henchmen are now
trying to prevent the passage of Ren
ator Vest's free coinage bill which
was adopted last week by the senate
as a substitute for that hodge podge
of absurdities known as the Republi
can caucus financial bill in the house
by talking veto. The bill which is
now before the house committee on
coinaee is in far more danger from
Speaker Reed's opposition than it is
from a pre.-identiul veto. Reed has the
audacity and the nerve to resort to
anv methods to defeat it and if he
doesn't attempt to do so it will only
he because he prefers seeing Mr. liar.
rison whom he diltl.es very much
weaken and sign it as I believe he
w 11 if it passes tho house. Mr. Har-
rison has made throats before but his
spinal column has always wilted
when the timu came to carry them
out.
Another erts while prominent Re-
publican is in the toils of the law.
