Eventful Career of President Long.
Professor Edgar A. Long,, principal
of the Christiansburg Industrial insti
tute and president of the Negro Teach
ers' association, has been prominent In
educational affairs In Virginia since
1887. He came to the state from Ala
bama. where he was associated with
the late Dr. Pettlford, founder of the
Alabama Penny Savings bank. He
was for a time one of the bookkeepers
In that Institution and Is still n stock
holder. He was born at Tuakegee.
Ala.. In 1871 and was educated at the
Tuakegee Institute, graduating from
that school In 190 S. He has done con
siderable study In correspondence
schools since finishing the course at
Tuakegsc. gtvlng special attention to
science, pedagogy and economics.
He has been principal of the Chris '
ttansburg (Va.l Industrial Institute
since 1900. Under his administration
the Institution has grown both In the
tpimber of students and In equipment
The value of the plant Including a
farm a t IE acres, 10 buildings, 40 head
•flivestock, with a general equipment,
to given as 975,000. The school at the
present time has an enrollment of 280
students ami 13 teachers.
Achievement of the Association.
For four years be has been president
of the «segro Teachers’ Association of
Virgima> Under his direction this or
ganization has become a vital force in
the educational affairs of the state
among colored people. Through the
association’s activities and its affiliated
organizations the colored people have (
been inspired to put over SIOO,OOO Into |
their public schools since 1911. when j
President Long was elected head of the
association. In speaking about this
good showing a prominent educator has
the following to say of President Long: j
“A moving force in this good showing j
for improvement in Virginia Is the as- j
soclation’s president. Professor E. A.
Long, principal of the Chrlstlansburg
Industrial Institute. Cambria, Va. Pro
fessor Long took the leadership of the
association at a time when It needed a
strong hand to guide it. and within the
past four years he has organized it into
a vital, active force for carrying for
ward the work of educational efficiency
and social uplift throughout the state.**
President Long's Annual Address-
In Ills annual address President Long
said in part:
It is significant that Just fifty years ago
another army captured Richmond. Mid
tho din of battle and the clash of arms
they came Into your city. With stream
ing banner and shrieking fife they parad
ed your streets, and the drum's beat,
which to some was the note of victory,
was to us tbs funeral march of slavery,
which died here, was burled at Appo
mattox and which'will rise no more. The
death of slavery meant the resurrection
of the slaves. Today, after the lapse of
half a century, a new army which has
been fighting that men might have life
and have It more abundantly comes up
to Richmond. Those who fought and bled
and died for the country's honor and. thus
lighting, freed the body of this people, de
serve our gratitude end will have their
names carved In marble and hronxe which
must crumble with the lapse of years, but
those who fight In the army for the eman
cipation of men's souls, my friends, will
have their names written In the hearts
of a grateful people as well as Inscribed
In that hall of fame In the "city with
foundations whose builder and maker Is
God.
The state association lays no claim to
directing th«f work of the teachers In their
efforts to create better school conditions
It furnishes, however, a means for an ex
change of experiences which always
prov— helpful. There Is engendered a
friendly rivalry between teachers which
help- 1 mightily In the spread of profes
sional real. We do collect what has been
done by the teachers under their various
agencies and thus keep somewhat of a
record of the progress made from year to
year The first year. 1912. of which we
have any authentic record, the sum of
QUB: was raised through the various
school leagues, tn 1913 04.893 was raised,
and ill 1914 342.923 was raised. This year,
when the records are all in, we believe It
Will be over 350.000. Not counting this
year however, more then 30.000 has been
put into the public schools by the Negro
peop • of Virginia. These figures do not
Include work of which no reports were
made to this organisation. These splendid
results have been, made possible largely
’ by the supervising teachers under the dl
i of our own Mr. Jackson Davis,
j who represents the most progressive sptr
! it the new south.
It to well to be proud of what has been
accomplished, but it is better to remember
what Is yet to be done. According to the
last figures for 1912-13 there were 38.411
children out of school. The summarized
reports of the division superintendents
show that the capacity of the Negro
achoOlhouses la 103.9C3. The records show,
however, that there were 117,017 children
er r oiled in the schools. This mesns that
there were 13.064 more children enrolled
j than could be seated in the schools. Let
i us not forget that there were 36.411 chil
! dren. who were not enrolled. It means
j that Just one-fourth of the Negro children
j in the Virginia schools cannot be accom
i modated in her schoolhouses at the pres
( err time. Here is a situation, my fellow
( teachers, that calls for your thoughtful
( consideration. If we cannot Induce the
j ■< bool authorities to build schoolhouses
; for our children let us go down into our
j p. kets and bu?ld them ourselves. Boma
j of the buildings In which Negro children
go to school are not fit for cow stables.
■ We are able to build magnificent church
cl rices In which to parade our hypocrisy
! a’.d show- off our fine clothes and send
I our children to a Junk house to imbibe
character. They get it. tco. of the kind
that fills the Richmond penitentiary with
■ > i ithful offenders.
Effect #f Environment on Character.
When we learn to properly appreciate
l il o effect which environment has upor.
the formation of character we are going
t take some of the money used in these
Hue churches and put It into the building
of better schools. How about that,
brother Preacher? Perhaps you don’t
like this kind of talk, hut I want to say
here that the time has come when you
nvilisters of the Gospel have got to preach
le>-s about mansions in the skies and mo«
about better schoolhouses In Virginia. It
you don't some of those same mansions
a; o going to have the "For Pent" slgr
hung on them for lack of tenants. Nexl

c 1 klren to go to school Is the question oi

it means this, that if you will rais«

the state will put up enough to extend ii

t..>chers will take hold of the matter tr

officers of the department of public in
s'ruction has convinced me that they am
anxious to have out schools get their pro
prrtlon of this fund. Surely we cannot
he so negligent as to allow It to go by
default because we do not rise to out
c*i portunttlea. as was the case with th«
u ided school fund. 1 am told that a
part of this fund which was set asWs
for Negro schools was never used because
no demand was made for It. It Is time,
my'fellow teachers, that we were waking
up and claiming our own. We have stood
hack too long, scared to present our needs

up and plead our cause, not In anger, not 1
in bitterness, neither by cringing nor
fawning, but respectfully and firmly as
men who ask men’s rights.
