If it was not for the Allen spirit manifested in our schools and other parochial schools throughout the South there would be few high schools for the higher education of our children, for, a great many counties and cities do not have high schools for Negroes. Thank God for Allen’s spirit that has so fixed us that we are not dependent upon anybody for the preparation of our children. Those who do not care to remain home in college can be fitted in our schools for any of the great colleges of the country.
