SOUTHERN SCHOOL TEACHERS.
A friend of The Globe informs us
that we were in error in an editorial
note in which we intimated that Prof.
Webber, superintendent of the city
school, was not Southern born. We
did not know where Prof. Webber was !
born but we had an idea that he and I
his father emigrated to Tennessee
from Europe. This made us ask "If
the colored schools would be contami
nated bv Northern ideas then why not
the same of the whites?"
We have never taken the reports
printed in a local paper and sent out
by the Associated Press seriously. We
thought them to be the work of some
"cub" reporter who had garbled what
the superintendent had really said,
In fact, we thought the reports too sil
ly to be an accurate account of what
really transpired in that meeting, the
alleged actions of which have been I
commented upon by newspapers all
over the country.
Northern ideas have been freely
adapted to Southern conditions in the
school of Nashville, and it is on this ac
count that our schools hold such a
hisrh Dlace in comparison with like
schools all over the country. If they
don't hurt the whites they would
scarcely hurt the blacks.
But the main objection to -the an-
nouncement, which we have character
ized above as being in our opinion su-
ly, is that it puts a premium upon
mediocrity and thus hurts the school
system. Every citizen and especially
those who are tax-payers, would and
should prefer to see men and women
of our city employed as teachers; but
no one who has the real welfare of
the public schools at heart should de-
"rnnnd that a certain person should
have the preference for a position sim
ply because he was born at a certain
place or was a certain color, no mat
ter whether competent or otherwise.
Efficiency and morality should be the
supreme tests. Any other taking pre
cedence over these will harm the
schools and yet not help to bring
about that better relation between the
races of which the Board of Education
and all other good citizens are desir
ous. a wrnucmAT i

upon the part of the white citizens.

I Georgia took an advanced step for
southern states when the senate voted
to prohibit the sale or manufacture of
spirituous liquors in the state. If the
mleasure passes the house it is thought
that Gov. Hoke Smith will approve the
bill and thus make the state the only
one in the South where there is abso
lute prohibition, but we suspect when
the law goes into effect it will be as
easy to get "white corn" in some of
the dry towns as heretofore.

MRS. JOSIE PRICE DEAD.
The musical fraternity of Nashville,
as well as the secret organizations and
the religious bodies, sustained an ir
reparable loss last Saturday evening in
the death of Mrs. Josle Price, who died
at 5 p. m. at her residence in Eighth
avenue, North, near the corner of Gay
street. Mrs. . Price was possibly bet
ter known in Nashville than any oth
er young woman. . She had spent most
of -her life here, having come from
Memphis when she was about twelve
years, of age. She entered Walden
University, from which school she
graduated both from the literary and
musical departments. She was the
daughter of Rev. Mr. Price, a presiding
elder, of the M. E. Church, and bore
the reputation of being one of the lead
ing musicians in the city. She was a
vocalist of rare ability, a composer and
an editor of a musical newspaper.
Thus the Journalistic world sustains a
loss. Mrs. Price had been in poor
health, for the past two years, but it
seemed at one time, that she would re
cover. The Globe rontainprl a nntira
on April 12, that the health of Mrs.
Pice was improving. She continued
to, improve for several months, but the
ravages of the dreaded disease, known
as tuberculosis, seemed to have laid its
Arm grasp upon her. She had not
been able to leave her home since the
day after the commencement exercises
of the Verdi Conservatory of Music, of
wnicn sne was the founder and princi
pal. She was also an organizer of the
verdl Kindergarten School. In fact.
there was not. hunter woman T1
Nashville than the deceased.
The funeral services were held at
warn Memorial Chapel, Monday after
noon at i 0 clock. There was an enor
mous outpouring of sympathizing and
sorrowing friends, as Mrs. Price was
a worker in all of the churches, irre
apeuuve vi aenomination. and was
oved and . respected by all. As the
funeral cortege entered the church, the
organist of Clark Memorial played a
ow, sorrowful funeral march. The
remains were followed bv Rebecca
Court of Calanthe, of which the de
ceased was a member. Rev. Dr. John
son, pastor of the church, officiated,
wnne uev. I. H. Welch, D. D., pre
siding elder of the A. M. E. Church,
assisted on the part of his church,
and Rev. Wm. Craft, on the part of
me itaptists,
Two choirs,' one from Clark Memo
rial and one from Mt. Olive Baptist
Church, sang alternately during the
services. Beautiful eulogies on the life
of the deceased were delivered by Miss
Mamie Bradon, of Walden University,
who gave a complete history of her
since sue was twelve when she en
tered school at Walden up to the close
or the present school year as a teach
er in the music department. Rev. Dr,
Johnson delivered an able sermon, tak
ing his text from the Psalms of David
and comparing the deceased's life with
that of David, as a great musician.
Kev. Dr. Welch read a poem, and Mr
J. Thomas Turned read another, en
titled "josle Price is dead." Rev. Wm
Craft read resolutions of condolence
signed by a long list of friends, as well
as the students of the Conservatory of
music ana tne verdl School
Just before the vast throng viewed
tne remains, Mt. Olive Choir, with Mr
Frank Teasley at the piano, sang the
deceased's favorite song, "Never alone."
There was hardly a dry eye in
1 1-. i
audience at the conclusion of this song

and beautiful. The deceased leaves n fa.
ther. sister, brother, several rPintivoo
and a large number of friends to
mourn her loss. The remains were
Interred in Greenwood Cemetery.

completely exhausted both Mr. Noel
and his Mother, who accomDanied
him, but he appears to be in better
health than when he last visited his
home.
Just how long Mr. Noel will remain
in the city has not been decided as he
will be governed completely by the
physician's advice. He spent the past
winter in Arizona and it is probable
that he will return there later.
